Filter by:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10% of all women, and it usually co-exists with high levels of sex hormones called androgens, such as testosterone. Women with PCOS are at increased risk of metabolic complications such as diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, high blood pressure and heart disease. However, very little is understood about how androgen excess may drive the metabolic complications observed in women with PCOS. Skeletal muscle is an important site of energy metabolism; increasingly, it is suspected that skeletal muscle energy balance is adversely impacted by androgens, thereby driving metabolic complications. To take this theory forward, we want to investigate the effects of androgens on muscle energy metabolism. We will perform detailed metabolic testing (including blood tests and muscle biopsies) in women with PCOS before and after taking tablets that block the action of testosterone for 28 days. In addition, we will be using a gold standard technique to see how women with PCOS metabolise fat and other nutrients by measuring markers in blood and breath samples after a breakfast test meal. This clinical research will increase our understanding of the complex relationships between hormonal abnormalities and metabolic disease in women with PCOS.
This is a controlled investigation, with randomization of the patients, which aims at evaluating the safety and performance of device RGn550 in treating sportspeople suffering from acute concussion syndrome. RGn550 is a non-invasive medical device which is applied on the head (helmet). It combines 2 technologies: - PhotoBioModulation (PBM), which involves exposure to light from the red to near-infrared wavelengths using lasers and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) - Static Magnetic Stimulation (SMS), which consists in the application of a static magnetic field. Considering previous investigations, this innovative technology could reduce brain inflammation implicated in concussion syndrome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of Semaglutide and metformin on weight loss in obese women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) over a 28-week treatment period. The main question it aims to answer is: • Which of the 2 drugs, metformin or Semaglutide causes more weight loss when used over a 28 week treatment period in obese women with PCOS? Participants will be divided into 2 groups by chance. In the first group, participants will be asked to take metformin orally. In the second group, participants will take Semaglutide by injection under the skin weekly. The maximum duration of participation for the patients in the trial is 32 weeks. Researchers will compare the weight reduction, quality of life and individuals' wellbeing between the two groups.
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a well-known risk factor for diseases of the anal region (hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc.) and large intestine (colon cancer, diverticular disease). Untreatable IBS disease not only impairs the patient's quality of life but also reduces the success of surgical treatment in these diseases. Today, only one-third of IBS patients achieve successful results with the treatment methods and diets used routinely. Balancing the composition of the gut microbiota may yield satisfactory results in this patient group. With the results of our study, we aim to reveal the effect of microbiome analysis and personalized diet on symptoms and its place in treatment in patients with IBS disease. Patients applying to Gastroenterology outpatient clinics in respective centers due to IBS will be randomized into two groups. The patients in the control group will follow the FODMAP diet protocol for IBS; In the study group, a personalized diet will be applied according to the gut microbiota. No nutritional supplements will be used in either group. Changes in defecation habits and quality of life scale of both groups will be evaluated at the end of 6 weeks and the results will be compared.
Recent data show that some foods can increase intestinal mucosa permeability and immune activation of subjects with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Wheat seems the most frequent food which activates this inflammatory response and can cause both GI and extra-intestinal symptoms. Patients suffering from wheat-related troubles, in absence of celiac disease diagnosis, can suffer from non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) and our previous studies showed that about 25% of them are also affected by autoimmune diseases (AD). A gluten-free diet (GFD) can influence inflammatory pattern of AD, including Sjogren's syndrome (SS). Thus, the investigators would enquire if SS patients may also suffer from NCWS and how a wheat-free diet (WFD) modifies their clinical features, and inflammatory and cytokine pattern. The investigators will also assess how wheat reintroduction, by an open challenge, modifies their clinical parameters, intestinal permeability, and both local and systemic inflammatory response.
Many girls experience premenstrual syndrome PMS which is re a group of physical, cognitive, affective, and behavioural symptoms that occur cyclically during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and resolve at or within a few days of the onset of menstruation. In young adolescents symptoms might particularly affect school functions, and social interactions in a negative ways in this study we will figure out the effect of 2 kinds of exercises in the management of this syndrome.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tenapanor (25 mg and 50 mg) in pediatric patients (≥12 and <18 years old) with IBS-C when administered twice daily (BID) for 12 consecutive weeks.
The purpose of this study is to decrease symptom burden, improve cognitive function, and improve quality of life outcomes in subjects with mild TBI and persisting post-concussion syndrome using Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment compared to a sham intervention. Specific Aims: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment to improve outcomes for adults with persisting post-concussion syndrome. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that a prescribed course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) will improve outcomes and quality of life in adults with persisting symptoms >3 months after injury. 1. Decrease symptom burden as measured by the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ). 2. Improve cognitive function as measured by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox Cognition Battery. 3. Improve quality of life as measured by the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). 2. Assess the safety and tolerability of hyperbaric oxygen treatments and compliance with treatment in adults with persisting post-concussion syndrome.
Independent, single center, prospective study, to evaluate the efficacy, in consecutive BrS patients undergoing catheter ablation, at medium-long term follow-up after epicardial substrate homogenization. The target area is defined collecting signals using high density and high resolution mapping with equi-spaced electrode array. The ablation of abnormal fragmented prolonged low-frequency ventricular electrograms is performed by contact force catheter.
CAR T-cell therapy is a promising innovative therapy for hematological malignancies. Immune effectors cells-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a significant complication of CAR therapy. The goal of this study is to understand what brain mechanisms become disrupted when patients experience ICANS. The study will test the hypothesis that cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging are affected in this disorder. To test this hypothesis, the study will measure cerebrospinal fluid catecholamines in ICANS patients and evaluate brain magnetic resonance imaging for these participants. This study may contribute to knowledge about brain biomarkers and imaging of ICANS, which will greatly aid in ICANS detection and prevention.
