Filter by:In this study, it is hypothesized that helminth infections modulate immune responses against HIV-1 infection resulting into increased HIV-1 multiplication, faster progression to AIDS and increased episodes of AIDS-related opportunistic infections. Furthermore, the effect of helminth infections on progression of HIV-1 infection is dependent on helminth infection intensity, host background immunity, nutritional status, demographic factors and socio-economic status. Also, treatment of helminth infections using praziquantel and albendazole among HIV-1 infected individuals will lead to reduction in HIV-1 viral loads, improvement of CD4+ counts, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and Hb levels, improved weight gain and reduction of episodes of HIV-1 related opportunistic infections. In addition, HIV-1 infection is associated with poor anthelminthic treatment outcome as compared to non-HIV infected individuals
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a low salicylate diet will improve the quality of life of patients with Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the use of NMB's percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) Balloon.
The purpose and objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MET V System for the treatment of individuals with mixed hearing loss.
The purpose of the registry is to assess workload of a Home Monitoring based follow up for Biotronik ICD and CRTD patients.
There is little data published on the long term durability of infliximab in pediatric patients. In particular a focus on durable remission, frequency of dose/frequency change and switch within class. Moreover 10 years of safety experience is rarely reported in children. The overall objective is to evaluate the persistence of infliximab as well as dosing strategies in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and safety of infliximab Regarding persistence of infliximab the investigators will be focusing on the proportion of patients who continue to have a durable response or remission to infliximab. The investigators will be assessing this by measuring the frequency of dose escalation, proportion of patients needing frequency change and proportion of patients switched to adalimumab or certolizumab. Safety outcomes will focus on frequency of malignancies, infections and immunogenecity
The purpose of this study is evaluate the effects and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine for prevention and management of mild/moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise capacity and pulmonary function test parameters of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients who underwent usual care with and without pulmonary daoyin therapy of China in community.
In peripheral blood; monocytes and macrophages are found in two phenotype; proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. M2 form is converted (or polarized) to M1 phenotype in various metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The main objective of the study is to explore and map brain areas involved in sensory perception and multisensory integration in patients with central or peripheral neurological damage. The investigators hypothesize for example, that a change (compare to healthy subjects) in the perceptual maps and body representation could be detected and characterize in patients suffering from impairments of peripheral nerve conduction.
