Filter by:This pilot study aims to identify predictors of response to intranasal ketamine treatment in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Participants will give a sample of blood and undergo magnetic resonance imaging before and after a single intranasal ketamine treatment. Participants will subsequently receive a second intranasal ketamine treatment.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of supraclavicular brachial plexus block using perfusion index in pediatric patients undergoing Upper limb surgery.
Low back pain is a major public health problem and is associated with a high rate of absenteeism at work, functional disability and frequent use of health services. Suction cup therapy is a common technique of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been around for about 3,300 years in Asia and the Middle East and has as its main feature the decrease in signs and symptoms of chronic pain. The technique was widely used in the 19th century throughout Asia and Europe, and in recent years demand has been increasing, possibly due to the inefficiency of conventional therapies and medicines. Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the suction cup therapy technique associated with conventional physiotherapy in patients with chronic low back pain. Method: We will include individuals between 18 and 60 years old, both genders, with low back pain for more than 3 months, without having received physical therapy treatment for a period of 6 months. Individuals with severe spinal diseases, root conditions of the spine, carriers of vascular diseases and pregnant women will be excluded. They will be randomly divided into two groups, Conventional Physiotherapy (group 1) and Conventional Physiotherapy associated with suction cup therapy (group 2).
Women destined to develop gestational hypertensive complications often exhibit deviant hemodynamic adaptation patterns before overt clinical disease. Gestational hypertension and late onset preeclampsia are associated with an exaggerated rise in cardiac output on top of a higher prepregnant value, whereas a shallow rise in cardiac output and the lack of a peripheral resistance drop predisposes to the much less common early onset-preeclampsia along with impaired fetal growth. Early treatment of altered cardiac output and peripheral resistance adjustments might prevent development of gestational hypertensive complications. The investigators aim to evaluate early cardiovascular adjustments during pregnancy in a high-risk population, and to pharmaceutically adjust deviant cardiovascular adaptations with beta-blockade, centrally acting sympatholytic agents or vasodilating agents when appropriate to prevent adverse effects on neonatal birth weight.
The aim of this study is to: 1. Investigate a possible association between microalbuminuria and infection by H. pylori in type 2 diabetic patients. 2. Investigate the effect of previous and active infection of H. pylori on microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of semaglutide on intra-hepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content in people living with HIV (PLWH), central adiposity, insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, and hepatic steatosis.
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during liver transplantation is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity associated with transplantation. Remote organ ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is one of the most investigated practices to reduce IR injury. In this study, for the first time in the clinic, the effect of RIPC will be evaluated via both systemic inflammation parameters and also parameters showing glycocalyx integrity, on living-donor liver recipients.
2.2.1. Primary Outcome(s) • Percentage of gastroenterology fellows who have received any formal training in the ergonomics of endoscopy and how to prevent long term work related injuries. 2.2.2. Secondary Outcome(s) - How much formal training given in multiple choice format fellows received in the ergonomics of endoscopy and how to prevent work related injuries. - Number of perceived work related injuries fellows sustained. - Types of perceived work related injuries fellows sustained. - If fellow perceived work related injuries whether they felt it negatively affected their ability to perform their duties as a gastroenterology fellow.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of 68GA-PSMA-11 PET imaging in patients with prostate cancer that has come back (recurrent). Gallium (68Ga) is a radiotracer that binds to a molecule, PSMA, that is found in abundance on most prostate cancer cells. PSMA is short for 'prostate specific membrane antigen'. Diagnostic procedures, such as 68GA-PSMA-11 PET imaging, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment, and may help plan the best treatment for prostate cancer.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is treated with radiofrequency ablation recently. This procedure is performed by ablating slow pathway or accessory pathway using radiofrequency ablation catheter. Recently developed mirofidelity (MIFI) catheter has mini-electrodes that can record local eletrogram with higher resolution. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of MIFI catheter in the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation catheter. Enrolled patients undergo conventional electrophysiologic study. Patients with sustained supraventricular tachycardia during the study are randomized to either study group or control group. Radiofrequency ablation is performed using MIFI catheter in the study group, and conventional catheter (Blazer II) in the control group. The study endpoints are recorded immediately after ablation and there is no additional follow up or management after procedure.
