Filter by:Introduction : Due to Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem, which is important increased in both developed and developing countries . And sodium intake restriction was related to the reduction of blood pressure and urine protein which is one of the important risk factor in chronic kidney disease. One of the problem in sodium restriction failure in Thai population with CKD nowadays is lack of knowledge and problem unawareness. The study hypothesis : Intense knowledge about sodium reduction and immediate feedback of the sodium intake could be simultaneously modifying the behavior to reduce sodium intake , blood pressure and also GFR reduction rate Objectives : To compare the effect of dietary salt restriction on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between CKD patients receiving strict controlled combined with immediate individual feedback (DISC Progrram) and those receiving standard education. Study design : Multicenter, open labeled, parallel, randomized controlled trial Sample size : 600 Primary outcome : GFR reduction (CKD-EPI) Secondary outcome : - Achievement rate of Na intake < 2 g/day (Urine Na < 90 mEq/day) - Blood pressure difference - Proportions of patients with BP reached the target (130/80 mmHg) - Number of anti-hypertensive drugs use to achieve BP target - Urine albumin/creatinine ratio - Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) - Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) - ankle-brachial index (ABI) Documentary Proof of Ethical Clearance : This project has been reviewed and approved by the Comittee on Human Rights Related to Research Involving Human Subjects , based on the declaration of Helsinki
A Randomized, Subject-Assessor Blind, Multi-center, Comparative Clinical Trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Inject BMP in Patients Undergoing Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion.
The primary hypothesis is to investigate whether a low calorie diet for 7 weeks followed by continuous lifestyle advice is an effective option to achieve an improvement in glucose control as measured by HbA1c after 52 and 104 weeks as compared to baseline values in obese type 2 diabetes patients on either tablet or insulin treatment. The secondary hypothesis is to investigate whether the weight reduction therapy also has significant impact on various anthropometric, clinical and metabolic parameters associated with obesity.
Although donation after cardiac death(DCD) is the major source of renal transplantation in China, high incidence rate of rejection and delayed graft function(DGF) is existing due to the prolonged ischemia time. According to the previous single center study, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) had an effect to prevent rejection and DGF after renal transplantation, but there was no perspective multicenter controlled study to confirm it. This perspective multicenter controlled study will focus on clarifying the key role of MSC applied via renal arterial or peripheral vein injection, to reduce the rejection and DGF after renal transplantation. The investigators have established GMP workshop and solid research foundation of transplant rejection. This study will provide a new reasonable way for immune induction of renal transplantation by DCD.
The purpose of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Registry (HBOTR) is to provide real world patient outcome and side effect information from electronic health records submitted to a specialty specific hyperbaric registry as part of "Stage 2 of Meaningful Use," including data provided to meet PQRS requirements via the registry's QCDR mission. Goals include understanding the value of HBOT among patients treated for a variety of conditions in relation to the frequency and severity of HBOT side effects. While randomized, controlled trials can establish the efficacy of treatments like HBOT, because they routinely exclude patients with co-morbid conditions common to those patients seen in usual clinical practice, the results of RCTs are usually non-generalizable. Real world data can be used to better understand the effectiveness of HBOT among typical patients, as well as the risks associated with treatment.
Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) will be extracted using Celution 800/CRS System (Cytori Therapeutics Inc) from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. Patients will undergo knee arthroscopic surgery followed by one-time intraarticular ADRC administration (directly into anterior cruciate ligament). This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.
This study compare the effects on microalbuminuria improvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with saxagliptin or glimepiride.All patients received metformin and/or acarbose, and randomly receive saxagliptin (5mg/d) or glimepiride (1-4mg/d).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of ciprofloxacin versus metronidazole versus placebo in eradication of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
This study aims to evaluate the impact of contact isolation on the rate of hospital-acquired transmissions of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and the rate of colonization and infection. On the basis of this study, it will be possible to re-evaluate the need for contact isolation for patients colonized or infected with ESBL-EC.
In this study, the investigators adopt the special endotracheal tube to those patients at prone posture during the operation,or those with acute respiratory distress syndrome in ICU, so that the investigators can reduce, or even avoid some severe complications during perianesthesia, and that the investigators can provide strong safeguard measures for the respiratory therapy of critical patients in ICU.
