Filter by:Multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial is focused on novel treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common cause of chronic liver disease. The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Vitamin E [(all-rac)-α-tocopheryl acetate] and Omega-3 fatty acid (DHA EE) compared to placebo on reducing liver fat content in participants with NAFLD. There is currently no approved drug treatment for NAFLD or NASH. While several new targets are being evaluated, they are not sufficiently powered to provide definitive data. There is, therefore, a need for well-designed, appropriately powered efficacy (phase 2) trials to define the utility of newer therapies for NAFLD. The combination of Vitamin E and DHA may provide optimal benefit for patients with NAFLD due to their associated mechanisms of action, namely Vitamin E's antioxidant action, preventing lipid oxidation of long-chain fatty acids such as DHA and thus preventing the propagation of free radicals and ROS.
In this study; aimed to determine an individual-centered, effective physiotherapy method to reduce the negative impacts of the forward head posture on work-related functions and to increase body awareness and functionality among office workers. In addition, aimed to reduce the loss of work with measures to improve the quality and efficiency of work.
The present clinico-biochemical study was carried out to estimate the levels of Fetuin A and MMP7 in serum of systemically healthy subjects in periodontal health and disease and to evaluate the impact of periodontal interventional therapy (scaling and root planing) on the same.
MULTINATIONAL Retrospective Chart Review Study to Assess the Characteristics, Treatment Outcomes and Resource Use Among Adult Patients Hospitalized for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) or Complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (cSSTI) Treated with Zinforo® (ceftaroline fosamil) in a Usual Care Setting
This study will be a double-blind multicenter randomized study (1:1) to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg per day or placebo on short-term functional capacity evaluated through changes in peak oxygen consumption.
This study will compare an opioid free anesthetic, using dexmedetomidine, to a traditional opioid based anesthetic, using fentanyl, for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with regards to hemodynamic stability in the first 10 minutes after induction.
A double-blind placebo controlled randomized Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 100 mg resmetirom versus matching placebo. At least 100 patients will be enrolled in a 100 mg open-label arm and will include a special safety population (eg, patients with compensated NASH cirrhosis).
Antimicrobial resistance is one of today''s most urgent public health problems. An important strategy to slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance is the promotion of judicious antimicrobial use. There are many opportunities to reduce unnecessary antimicrobial-prescribing, including in patients undergoing surgical procedures. The following study will specifically study opportunities to improve antimicrobial use in patients undergoing common urologic procedures at hospitals in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Guidelines recommend giving antibiotics for no more than 24-hours after most urologic procedures, but the investigators have shown that the unnecessary use of post-procedural antimicrobials is common in this setting. In a national cohort of nearly 30,000 VHA patients, excessive post-procedural antimicrobials were prescribed after 37.2% of urologic procedures for a median duration of 3.0 excess days. In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether giving regular feedback to providers at 3 VHA hospitals can reduce unnecessary antimicrobial use after urologic procedures.
Comparison of second generation supraglottic airway devices about anesthesiologist, endoscopist and patient, which used for gastrointestinal procedures. The investigators believe that the endoscope will be easier to reach by the part of GLT extending to the esophagus, but the structural stiffness of this part may damage the esophageal mucosa. On the other hand, since the endoscopic canal of the LMA® Gastro ends at the upper end of the esophagus, it may be more difficult to orient the endoscope to the esophagus, but it may be superior in terms of ventilation efficiency. Therefore these two device worth for comparing.
This is a prospective cohort study on the effect of Andrographis Paniculata (AP) on palliative management of patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer. A total of 30 patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous esophageal cancer will be recruited for the trial.
