Filter by:This study aims to determine if low-dose naltrexone (LDN) reduces fatigue, improves related symptoms, and reduces inflammatory markers in peripheral blood in cases with Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome (PCFS) from COVID-19 (i.e. confirmed SARS-CoV-2 case). LDN refers to naltrexone given in doses of 1-4.5 mg. Overall, studies have found that LDN is safe and well-tolerated. It may help to reduce pain and inflammation and improve well-being and immune function.The trial will be conducted by the Complex Chronic Diseases Program (CCDP) at BC Women's Hospital and will demonstrate whether LDN could benefit a large number of people with PCFS.
Establishing the diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (EDS)/generalized hypermobility spectrum disorders (G-HSD) is often problematic for patients. The absence of a precise unifying diagnosis in patients results in a significant emotional burden on the patient and caregivers, not to mention the hidden costs, including multiple recurring visits to several medical specialists and associated social and economic costs. To date, while collagen ultra-scale morphological heterogeneity has been used to comment on an EDS diagnosis, the mechanical properties of the collagen remain mostly unexplored. From a biophysical point of view, collagen affected with hEDS can be described as biomechanically deficient. In the case of EDS, the skin's abnormal elasticity can be directly related to the organization of the collagen network within the dermis. Quantitative Nanohistology (QNH) is a newer method to evaluate both the structural and mechanical properties of collagen in-situ histological sections. Therefore, the aim of this study is to define histo-biophysical markers of two most common types of EDS i.e. classical EDS (cEDS) & hypermobile EDS (hEDS) at the single collagen fibrils level and matrix and to further explore the origin of collagen fibril properties deficiency in hEDS and cEDS.
The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of eye drops with antioxidants on mild to moderate dry eye symptoms in patients with diabetic retinopathy, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in the tear film. The researchers intend to include 78 patients, divided into three intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned an eye drop with antioxidants, where the patient must apply one drop in each eye for 1 month. In the study, the characteristics of the surface of the eye will be evaluated and tear samples will be taken from each eye, before and after the intervention with the eye drops. Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of art therapy techniques on premenstrual syndrome symptoms.The study is a randomized controlled type study. The study will be conducted with 70 female students with premenstrual syndrome. In the study, which consists of two groups, experimental (n=35) and control (n=35), art therapy techniques will be applied to the students in the experimental group for 8 weeks. The control group will continue their routine coping habits. Both groups will be evaluated with the Premenstrual Syndrome scale at the end of the study, and the difference between the groups will be examined.
The aim of this study; to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on premenstrual syndrome symptoms. The study is a randomized controlled trial, and women between the ages of 18-35 who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Participant information form and premenstrual syndrome scale will be used in the research. There are two groups in the study as experimental (n=40) and control (n=40).
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a lifestyle program for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The investigators want to assess the efficacy of a pulse-based diet (i.e. a diet that contains lentils, chick-peas, and beans) on the clinical features, biochemical, and hormonal parameters of PCOS compared to the healthy therapeutic lifestyle changes diet.
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a condition frequently treated in physiotherapy. The pathophysiology underlying this syndrome is still poorly understood. Ultrasound makes it possible to evaluate the morphology and to quantify, with sonoelastography (SWE), the stiffness of the iliotibial band (ITB). The objective is to determine the feasibility of a cross-sectional study aimed at evaluating the morphometry and stiffness of the ITB in runners with and without a diagnosis of ITBS. Socio-demographic and clinical data will be collected and ultrasound measurements (thickness and stiffness) of the iliotibial band will be performed in supine with the knee positioned at 2 different angles (0° and 30° flexion). Variables such as the recruitment rate/month, the inclusion/exclusion rate, the acceptability of the procedure will be used to characterize the feasibility. The relationship between ultrasound measurements and clinical outcomes will be explored. The results obtained will document feasibility issues and provide preliminary results will lay the groundwork for a large scale study.
This project is an open, dose escalation and expansion phase I clinical study. The first phase is a dose escalation study, and the second phase is a dose expansion study based on the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) obtained in the first phase. The purpose is to evaluate the tolerability and initially evaluate the antitumor efficacy of TQB2618 injection combined with demethylation drugs in patients with recurrent/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes.
Quality of life evaluation after thoracic outlet surgery with Quick-DASH and SF-36 forms
Observational study of 160 patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities and 160 matched controls. Blood, fat, muscle, skin, buccal swaps, urine will be collected and analyzed for DNA, RNA and methylation patterns. The goal is to associated genotype and epigenetic changes with the phenotype of patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities. Patients participate in questionaries, dexa-scan of bones, fibroscan of liver, ultra sound of testicles and blood will be analyzed for organ specific blood work as well as immunological and coagulation components.
