Filter by:People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often experience problems with cognitive functioning, which can be debilitating and interfere with their daily functioning. However, research has shown that MS disease modifying agents have had some success in treating cognitive problems. The main purpose of this research study is to investigate how well two medicines (alemtuzumab (Campath®) and interferon beta-1a (Rebif®)) work in treating MS-related cognitive problems (e.g., attention, memory, speed of thinking). Participants enrolled will be assessed prior to their first study-related medication dose and re-assessed throughout treatment. It is expected that participants taking Campath® will demonstrate relative stability in cognitive functioning relative to those taking Rebif®. Specifically, the cognitive performance of Rebif® participants will decline somewhat over time, but the cognitive performance of Campath® participants will remain stable.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if adding bleach baths to routine ways for prevention of Staph infections is helpful. The amount added is a very weak amount. This would provide a relatively inexpensive method to help prevent recurrent skin infections caused by the Staph germ. The investigators will also be studying how often Staphylococcus aureus lives in the nose, throat, and groin area.
Because of the high iodine uptake in the stomach, radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid diseases (cancer or hyperthyroidism) or radioactive iodine administered for thyroid scan may be able to eradicate H.pylori infection from the stomach of patients infected with H.pylori. Also to test the hypothesis that CagA virulent strains of H.pylori are more common in patients with thyroid cancer than with other thyroid diseases.
Main objectives: - To know the distribution of risk elements of traffic injuries Secondary objectives: - To study the distribution of risk elements related with the possibility of suffering from a TI in relation to medication, chronic health problems, and consumption of psychoactive substances (alcohol and others). - To know the relation between levels of perception of risk of suffering from a TI and the presence of chronic problems, medications, or consumption of psychoactive substances.
Principal focus is to evaluate the effects of omega 3 fatty acids supplementation on the ADHD children's behaviour during 12 weeks on two years. The secondary focus is to evaluate the effects of omega 3 fatty acids supplementation on the lexical level,intentional abilities, anxiety and depression. The omega 3 fatty acids don't present adverse side effects. The inclusion to the trial could avoid the intake the methylphenidate and its associated adverse side effects.
Influenza vaccination has proved it's effectiveness over many years of usage including HIV/AIDS patients who are immunocompromised. In those patients, however, a noted rise in HIV viral load which follows intramuscular injection of the vaccine is of unknown significance over the long run. Mesotherapy is a procedure developed and practiced in france by which a reduced and diluted amounts of antigens is being introduced by multiple intradermal injections over the torso and upper back. Mesotherapy is mainly used as a vehicle for introducing pain medicine and cosmetics.
Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is caused by a virus acquired by contact with chronically infected rodent hosts. HFRS is present throughout Korea. Treatment consists mainly of supportive care with careful attention to control of blood pressure and fluid balance and/or dialysis. Early initiation of IND Intravenous Ribavirin has been shown to be an effective treatment for HFRS and may prevent the need for dialysis. It is important to initiate therapy based on a diagnosis consistent with HFRS and a history that makes exposure likely. This study will monitor the clinical events that occur with HFRS as well as the safety and efficacy of Ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the role endovascular therapy to treat aortic disease involving the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the visceral segment of the aorta (or thoracoabdominal aorta)
This study allows the evaluation of subjects in order to determine their ability to safely participate in other active research studies. After subjects complete the screening process, they will be offered the opportunity to participate in an active research study, or if no appropriate studies are available information and recommendations will be provided for other treatment options.
