Filter by:This is a three-week crossover study that will compare how the body absorbs and tolerates two different forms of lipoic acid: R form and racemic form.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) present with abnormal endothelial function, increased levels of NOX4 activity and mitochondrial abnormalities, contributing to oxidative stress from early stages that correlate with disease severity.
This trial studies how well fludeoxyglucose F-18 - positron emission tomography (PET) works in planning radiation therapy in participants with early non-small cell lung cancer, early stage lung cancer, or cancer that has spread to lungs from other parts of the body. Using PET in addition to the standard computed tomography to plan radiation therapy for cancer may help doctors to maximize the dose to the cancer and minimize the dose to normal tissues.
Oral health is defined as the state of being free from dental or periodontal diseases and discomfort of oral cavity. WHO considers that oral hygiene is a major public health problem whatever the countries (developed, developing, and underdeveloped). The two main local medical problems are dental caries and periodontal diseases. Without appropriate treatments, both diseases can lead to local functional and esthetic damages, and can also have some negative repercussions on health. Studies showed that there are great social disparities among people concerned by oral health issues. People in vulnerable situations (homeless and low incomes people, refugees) had less recourse to dental care. Those who consult do it less often and later. Reasons are mainly cost related, but also people in vulnerable situation don't perceive dental care as an important matter and don't know where and how to ask for help for having dental care. PASS (french acronym for "Office of Access to Healthcare") departments, setting in both private and public health institutions, are intended to facilitate the access to care and the support of people in vulnerable situations, and their accompaniment in the steps necessary for the recognition of their rights. Nurses of the Annecy PASS department had developed a questionnaire called "healthplan guide" that aim at helping them to screen and identify people with dental diseases among those in vulnerable situation, and to sensitize them about the importance of oral hygiene and how to improve it. This questionnaire is use in daily practice. This study hypothesizes that more patients will be sensitized to benefit a dental examination in a dental practice if nurses use the "healthplan guide" questionnaire combined with an oral and dental evaluation.
This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of Gardasil® (quadrivalent human papillomavirus [qHPV] vaccine, V501) in Chinese girls aged 9-19 years and young women aged 20-26 years. The primary hypothesis of the study states that at 1 month postdose 3, a 3-dose regimen of V501 induces non-inferior geometric mean titers (GMTs) for serum anti-HPV 6, anti-HPV 11, anti-HPV 16, anti-HPV 18 in girls aged 9-19 years compared to young women aged 20-26 years.
Although IV salbutamol is frequently used in children in a wide range, pharmacodynamic data are scarce. To date, there is an insufficient evidence base to guide initial and subsequent dosing recommendation for its IV use in children. Especially the need for a loading dose needs to be addressed. Therefore, pharmacodynamic and kinetic data are needed to guide initial dosing strategies of IV salbutamol in children. To assess the efficacy of a loading dose of intravenous salbutamol in children admitted to a PICU for severe acute wheeze or severe acute asthma. Efficacy is measured by the reduction in asthma score (Qureshi) at 1 hour after administration of the loading dose, compared to placebo.
This was a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BGB-A317 in participants with relapsed or refractory mature T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms. There were three cohorts: - Cohort 1: Relapsed or refractory (R/R) extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL; nasal or non-nasal type) - Cohort 2: Other R/R mature T-cell neoplasms, limited to the following histologies: peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) - Cohort 3: R/R cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, limited to mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sèzary syndrome (SS) Study procedures included a Screening phase (up to 35 days); Treatment phase (until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first); Safety Follow-up phase (up to 90 days following last study treatment for all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)); and Survival follow-up phase (duration varying by participant).
In this single center prospective cohort study a total of 100 patients scheduled for elective off-pump CABG will be recruited. They will be allocated to one study and one control group according to the presence or absence of postoperative type 2 neurological complications. The two groups will be compared in terms of serum concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neuroserpin (NSP), phosphorylated axonal neurofilament subunit H (pNfH) and visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) at the time of skin incision and closure as well as 24 hours and 7 days following surgery. Diagnostic performance of these markers for predicting type 2 neurological complications of off-pump CABG will be assessed.
The aim of this study is to investigate differences in electroencephalography (EEG) evolution between preterm infants with and without transient hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (THOP) in order to find differences in the interburst interval and the background pattern and in the maturation of the sleep-wake cycle.
Purpose: To examine the genotypes associated with the peripheral retinal phenotypic features in patients with age-related macular degeneration documented with wide-field imaging. Design: Clinic-based case series study in Croatia. Participants: 160 patients >50 years of age known to have early or advanced AMD and 150 subjects >50 years of age without known AMD (controls) Methods: Both groups of patients were examined with ophthalmoscopy and OCT to confirm their classification. Posterior and peripheral fundus features were documented with Optos wide-field imaging (Optos P200MA, Optos Plc, Dunfermline, Scotland) and graded. DNA was extracted from blood samples and gene polymorphisms were evaluated for complement factor H (CFH) rs1061170 and rs1410996, age-related maculopathy susceptibility (ARMS2) rs10490924, high temperature requirement factor A1 (HtrA1) rs11200638, complement factor B (CFB) rs4151667 and rs641153, complement factor 2 (C2) rs9332739 and rs547154 and complement factor 3 (C3) rs2230199.
