Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate if diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome affects disease presentation and severity of malaria in adults in a hospital setting in Cameroon.
In this study, researchers want to learn about the connection between heavy bleeding issues and joint hypermobility (loose joints). They want to know if these issues may indicate other connective tissue problems in girls and women with heavy menstrual bleeding who do not have a known cause. Primary Objective - Compare the severity of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women with and without Generalized joint Hypermobility Syndrome Disorder/hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (G-HSD/hEDS) using bleeding scores. Secondary Objectives - Compare the frequency of co-morbidities in women with and without G-HSD/hEDS.
This clinical trial aims to learn about the electrophysiological and clinical effects of radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with Brugada syndrome. The main questions it seeks to answer are: - What are the immediate effects of catheter radiofrequency ablation in cardiac electrophysiology? - What is the relation between invasive and clinical features in patients with Brugada syndrome undergoing ablation? Researchers will compare ablation and control groups to see if there is a difference in clinical and invasive markers of the disease in one year of follow-up.
Adipose tissue secreting a number of adipokines which regulate insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and vascular homeostasis, so the dysfunction of adipose tissue is linked with the incidence of obesity accompanied with insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (1). Obesity is known to alters the expression of adipokines due to the adipose tissue hypertrophy (2), including adiponectin, in which able to exert a potent anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effect (2). It has been proposed that adiponectin acts to prevent the vascular dysfunction due to obesity and diabetes by improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and protects the vasculature through its pleiotropic actions on endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages (1). The concentrations of adiponectin of 5 to 25 mg/mL had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule induced by TNF-α in vitro. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which adhesion molecules on arterial endothelial cells are responsible for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes. While obesity is low-grade inflammation in which make a contribution on endothelial dysfunction by increasing the oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) due to adipocyte hypertrophy, leads to an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction (3). Adiponectin is accumulated in the vasculature, and it reduced on obesity due to suppression by TNF-α and lead to adiponectin-deficiency which stimulate the significant increases of Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or known as CD54 in aortic intima (4). Here we investigate the level of adiponectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 with the incidence of MetS in obese adolescents.
This is a Phase II, open-label study designed to determine if intravenously administered NM8074 results in remission from TMA in treatment-naïve aHUS patients.
The empty pelvis syndrome is an unsolved and poorly defined problem severely affecting patients that have pelvic exenteration surgery, and also the teams looking after them. It is unclear what the anatomical and pathophysiological causes of the empty pelvis syndrome are, how it can be prevented, and how its sequelae can be measured. The evidence to guide decisions around the empty pelvis syndrome is of low quality, and so there is a large amount of variation in approaches between different hospitals. This consensus study will define a core outcome set for the empty pelvis syndrome, and establish current levels of consensus on pathophysiology and mitigation of the empty pelvis syndrome through a modified-Delphi process involving both healthcare professionals and patient representatives.
RegeneCyte (HPC, Cord Blood, hUCB) for treatment in patients with post-COVID.
Sphincter sparing rectal resection surgery, either total mesorectal excision (TME) with a temporary loop ileostomy or partial mesorectal excision (PME), is the mainstay of rectal cancer treatment , however, these treatments are associated with the development of Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). This syndrome is characterized by a constellation of symptoms such as fecal frequency, urgency and clustering of bowel movements and can lead to fecal and flatus incontinence. There is no gold standard therapy designed to treat the root cause of the problems associated with LARS. Paula Method of exercises, based on the theory that the body has the natural ability to self-heal and that all sphincter muscles in the body affect one another other and thus, exercising one healthy region can positively impact another. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of the Paula Method of exercises in patients post sphincter sparing rectal resection surgery with LARS Syndrome.
Peripheral nerve entrapment neuropathies are the most common mononeuropathies in clinical practice. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), n. It occurs as a result of compression of the medianus as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow osteofibrous canal. CTS is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, affecting approximately 3% of the general adult population. This study, which was designed as a randomized controlled study, will include 36 patients with CTS, aged between 18-65, who applied to Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital. In our study, both groups will be given 10 minutes of paraffin, 20 minutes of TENS, and 10 repetitions of tendon gliding exercise, 3 days a week for a total of 3 weeks (9 sessions). EESDT will be applied once a week in both groups (one group at 4 bar and the other at 1.5 bar pressure). Measurements will be made before treatment, after treatment, and at 12 weeks post-treatment. In the literature, different pressure parameters were used in studies examining the efficacy of ESDT in the treatment of CTS. Although ESDT has been shown to have a curative effect on CTS, there is no consensus on which pressure parameter is more effective. Therefore, in this study, the effectiveness of ESDT applied at different pressure parameters in the treatment of CTS will be examined.
The aim of this study is to see the associations of metabolic responses of metformin with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs628031 and rs2282143) of solute carrier family 22 member 1 (SLC22A1) gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This prospective clinical study will be conducted in the department of Endocrinology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from February 2023 to September 2024 over a period of two years. A total of at least 100 women with PCOS (18 - 35 years) diagnosed based on International Evidence-based Guideline for PCOS 2018, will be included consecutively by convenient sampling. After taking informed written consent, relevant clinical history will be taken and physical examinations will be done at baseline. Following a run in phase of three weeks, patients will visit thrice after 1, 12 & 24 weeks of metformin maintenance therapy with a window period of 14 days both ways. Blood samples will be collected in fasting state at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment to measure glycemic status, lipid profile, fasting insulin, c-peptide and detection of SLC22A1 gene (rs628031 and rs2282143) polymorphisms. Glucose will be measured by glucose oxidase method, lipids by glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase peroxidase method, insulin by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay, c-peptide by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and genetic analysis of rs628031 and rs2282143 by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).
