Filter by:This study evaluates and compares the diagnostic specificity of 5 serological field tests for screening of the population at risk for human African trypanosomiasis due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense.
To evaluate whether oral sulfate solution used for colon cleaning in adults prior to colonoscopy was not inferior to 3-liter polyethylene glycol in the proportion of subjects with BBPS score (total colon) ≥6 after colonoscopy
Intensive care unit-acquired muscle weakness (ICUAMW) is a common problem following an ICU admission and is associated with prolonged hospitalization, delayed weaning and increased mortality. Up to 25% of patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) for greater than 7 days develop ICUAW, and this figure may rise to 50-100% in the septic population. Long-term follow-up studies of survivors of critical illness have demonstrated significantly impaired health-related quality of life and physical functioning up to 5 years after ICU discharge, with weakness being the most commonly reported physical limitation. Early rehabilitation has been shown to be safe and feasible; however, commencement is often delayed due to a patient's inability to cooperate. An intervention that begins early in ICU admission without the need for patient volition may be beneficial in attenuating muscle wasting. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and early physical activity on ICU acquired muscle weakness in mechanically ventilated patient
Pain after acute burn injury is complex with much still not understood. The primary mechanism is believed to be nociceptive, but is interwoven with aspects of somatogenic, neuropathic, and psychogenic pathways. As such, opioid receptor agonists are an essential component for pain management after burn injury. The majority of wound care and dressing changes are completed in non-intubated patients and rates of respiratory depression concerning. Oliceridine is a biased, selective MOR agonist approved for treatment of acute pain. To date there is no literature of use in patients with burn injuries. While it should be effective, efficacy and the potential for reduced adverse events need to be quantified. Current practice and guidelines, plead for better analgesia for patients with burn injuries.
This is a single-center proof-of-concept clinical trial designed to establish the feasibility of transvenous phrenic-nerve stimulation (PNS) to maintain diaphragm activation over the first 24 hours and for up to seven days of mechanical ventilation in patients who are likely to require more than 48 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation.
The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of vaginal biorevitalization to improve the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) between the gold-standard treatment with local estrogen-based hormone therapy versus local salmon polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) therapy.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructions using hamstring grafts can be performed using one or two hamstring grafts, the semitendinosus (ST) tendon only, or both the semitendinosus and gracilis (ST/G) tendon. As most patients strive to return to sport nine months after reconstruction the purpose of this study was to compare the recovery of hamstring muscle strength during these first nine months after reconstruction using the ST or ST/G tendons.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled and placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 50 units (U) of QM1114-DP for the treatment of moderate to severe GL in male and female subjects of Chinese origin. The study has been designed to test the superiority of QM1114-DP compared to placebo, and the non-inferior efficacy of QM1114-DP compared to onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®), in improving the appearance of moderate to severe GL.
The effect of exposure to an informative video about amniocentesis before the procedure on maternal anxiety
This study should investigate the differences of berberine pharmacokinetic parameters in three cohorts of healthy volunteers with distinct genotypes of the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) gene and the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene: Cohort 1a) OCT1 and CYP2D6 wildtype genotypes n = 10 Cohort 1b) OCT1 and CYP2D6 wildtype genotypes n = 10 Cohort 2) OCT1 deficient/CYP2D6 wildtype genotypes n = 10 Cohort 3) OCT1 wildtype/CYP2D6 deficient genotypes n = 10 Participants will be selected from the study volunteers database of the Institute of Pharmacology in Greifswald according to their OCT1 and CYP2D6 genotypes and to achieve best matching according to sex, age, BMI, alcohol consumption and smoking between Cohort 1a and 2 or Cohort 1b and 3, respectively.
