Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gather information about the safety and effectiveness of the non-pharmacological (non-drug), non-invasive treatment known as low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy. The study team will distribute the PEMF device to female adults with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) to measure its ability to decrease bladder and pelvic pain as well as other urinary symptoms associated with IC/BPS. There are two sequential Aims in this study and subjects will be recruited to participate in only one Aim. In both Aims, data will be collected at baseline/enrollment, 4-weeks after using PEMF therapy, and 8, 12, and 16 weeks post-enrollment.
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) involves recurrent sleep-related upper airways (UA) collapse. UA mechanical properties and neural control are altered, imposing a mechanical load on inspiration. UA collapse does not occur during wakefulness, hence arousal-dependent compensation. Experimental inspiratory loading in normal subjects elicits respiratory-related cortical activity during wakefulness. The objective of this study is to test whether awake OSAS patients would exhibit a similar cortical activity. Whether or not such cortical compensatory mechanisms have cognitive consequences would be also analyze.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of uproleselan in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and that expresses E-selectin ligand on the cell membrane. Uproleselan binds to E-selectin expressed on endothelial cells of the bone marrow and prevents their interaction with selectin-E ligand-expressing cancer cells. This may prevent leukemia cells from being sequestered in the bone marrow niche and escaping the effect of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving uproleselan in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may enhance their activity.
Registry intended to provide a data repository and reporting infrastructure for the surveillance of CytoSorb device use in real-world critical care settings, and to serve as an objective, comprehensive, and scientifically-based resource to measure and improve the quality of patient care
Insulin resistance (IR) is an important pathological feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with an incidence rate of up to 85%, which seriously affects the patient's fertility, quality of life, and offspring health, but the mechanism is unknown. The adaptor protein LNK is closely related to metabolic diseases. Our exome sequencing has found that the mutation rate of LNK gene in patients with PCOS and IR is high. Studies have found that LNK can affect adipose inflammation and impair glucose tolerance. Whether LNK is related to fat metabolism is worth further study. Our previous research found that: LNK expression was significantly increased in adipose tissue of patients with PCOS and IR. Knockout of LNK in PCOS IR model mice can reduce serum triglycerides, free fatty acids, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and reduce fatty liver occurrence, which indicates that LNK has a mitigating effect on IR. Mechanism studies have shown that LNK knockout can upregulate the glucose transporter Glut4, also LNK and insulin receptor substrate IRS-1 can form protein complexes. Based on the above research basis, we propose the following scientific hypothesis: LNK in adipose tissue can regulate insulin signaling pathway by binding to IRS-1, downregulate Glut4, and participate in PCOS IR occurrence. This project intends to clarify the specific mechanism by which LNK regulates glucose transport and participate in IR in combination with clinical specimens, animal models and cell experiments, and provide scientific basis for LNK as a potential therapeutic target for PCOS IR.
The investigators' aim is to study the effects of mechanical expression of meibomian glands on eyelid disease, ocular surface health in the subacute phase of SJS/TEN. The primary outcome is to use meibomian gland imaging to assess the health and caliber of the meibomian glands of both lower eyelids, between the treated and non-treated eyes before and after the intervention. Monitoring of outcomes will be measured by comparing the results of meibography at the initial visit and at the 6-month follow-up. The secondary outcome assessed will be patient symptoms. The Ocular Surface Disease Index survey will be administered before each treatment and patients will be asked to differentiate their symptoms between the two eyes, both before and after the intervention. The investigators hypothesize that mechanical expression of meibomian glands within the first 6 months of SJS/TEN onset will significantly improve ocular surface disease and symptoms in those patients.
The literature is quite rich concerning the factors which influence the return to work after acute coronary syndrome. They can be divided into three categories: factors linked to the patient, those linked to the workstation and factors linked to an external intervention. A study published in 1992 evaluated a set of predictive factors for recovery one year after acute coronary syndrome and showed that the proportion of clinical factors accounted for 20%, functional factors for 27% but above all socio-economic factors for 45. %. On the other hand, there are only a few studies that are interested in the return to work after acute coronary syndrome according to the management in occupational medicine, and in particular the realization or not of a pre-return visit. The results of a survey published in 2016 show that the recommendations made during the return visit were significantly different depending on whether or not there was a pre-return visit and concerned all types of pathology. In view of all of these elements, it seems important to the investigators to study the expected benefit of an early orientation towards occupational medicine via the pre-return visit, and to study the factors delaying or favoring the return to work. .
The risk of severe course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in people with Down Syndrome is substantially increased. The risk of death is 3-10 fold higher than in healthy people. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been registered for adults and adolescents but none of them have been studied in people with Down Syndrome. Vaccine responses in people with Down Syndrome are known to be suboptimal. Therefor the objective of this study is to assess the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in people with Down syndrome. To do so, the antibody response, cellulair and mucosal immuneresponse in people with Down syndrome after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination will be evaluated and compared to healthy controls.
Infants with Down syndrome show significant delays and weaknesses in motor, cognitive, and language development compared to typically developing infants. This project aims to examine the developmental cascade effects of specific gross and fine motor experience on motor, cognitive and language development in infants with Down syndrome. We propose that both gross and fine motor experience will facilitate cognitive and language development in infants with Down syndrome, and particularly, fine motor experience will help advance gesture and early words production.
CLN-049-001 is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, first-in-human trial of CLN-049 in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
