Filter by:Children with inadequate intestinal absorption due to loss of large amounts of small bowel require intravenous nutrition (feeding through the vein) to sustain hydration and nutrition to avoid starvation and dehydration; however, intravenous (IV) nutrition can lead to complications including liver failure. Tube feeding directly to the small intestine avoids the complications of IV nutrition, but fats are not fully digestible due to inadequate bowel function. We propose to predigest the fat using a small cartridge attached to the feeding tube to allow for rapid absorption with the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for intravenous nutrition
This study evaluates the addition of budesonide to poractant alfa to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Half of the participants will receive budesonide and poractant alfa in combination, and the other half will receive poractant alfa with saline.
This experiment is expected to understand the benefits of different settings of electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder.
Metabolic syndrome is a public health challenge that includes a range of conditions including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. The syndrome is associated with an increase in the risk of Cardiovascular disease and death. Curcumin is a very active compound obtained from turmeric root. Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and is also involved in the regulation of several signaling pathways. Since curcumin powder has low bioavailability, fast metabolism and low absorption, nanomicielle curcumin will be used in this study. Therefore, this study is planned to determine the effects of supplementation of nanomicielle curcumin on oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, adiponectin in serum and NF-kB in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Spontaneous breathing efforts in patients with respiratory failure connected to mechanical ventilation, has been associated with strong respiratory muscles activity. However, these mechanisms may will be present in patients with acute lung deseases who are breathing with no ventilatory support. We hypothesize that spontaneous breathing during acute respiratory failure could induced lung inflammation and worsen lung damage. Hereby, the connection to a ventilatory support tool, may protect the lungs from spontaneous ventilation-induced lung injury. To test our hypothesis, our aim is to determine the effects of spontaneous breathing in acute respiratory failure patients, on lung injury distribution; and to determine whether early controlled mechanical ventilation can avoid these deleterious effects by improving air distribution.
Among patients with thunderclap headache who were admitted to the four participating hospitals, who has diffuse segmental vasoconstriction on CT angiography or MR angiography will be eligible for the study. Participants who meet the definition of RCVS will be enrolled as the case-patients and others will be enrolled as control-patients. The RCVS group will be defined when two or more neurologists agree by the clinical features and angiographic findings. The result of tests for varicella zoster virus titer will not be opened to neurologists until the end of the study. For case and control patients, tests for varicella zoster virus infection are (1) Pre-existing virological markers (ex. VZV-IgG, IgM, and VZV PCR in CSF or Skin lesion if present) (2) VZV-specific cell mediated immune response (CMI) at the time of admission and one month later (3) VZV in blood measured by quantitative test of viral load with real-time PCR and digital PCR for latent viral load (4) Quantitative test of viral load with real-time PCR in saliva at time of admission and one month later. Reactivation or infection of VZV of patients with RCVS and controls will be compared.
The study is conducted in women at the menopause with a clinical diagnosis of Genitourinary Syndrome, which presents symptoms in of vulvovaginal atrophy and tract urinary and were treated with radiofrequency non ablative technique for capacitive transfer in intra-vaginal. All participants were evaluated by a physical therapist and did the exam of PH vaginal, cell maturation index and questionnaires. The participants made five sessions of Radio Frequency (RF) with an interval of seven days between them. The application of RF was performed by physical therapist trained in the technique of radio frequency through the Capenergie brand device with capacitive transfer method using non-ablative handle with active electrode intra-vaginal and coupling electrode placed on the participant's back. For application, the participants were in gynecological position. The session had an average duration above 20 minutes. The temperature was measured by an infrared thermometer when it reached 41graus radiofrequency was maintained for 2 minutes in the anterior wall and 2 minutes more in the posterior wall of vagina.
Antiphospholipid antibodies are autoantibodies directed against phospholipid‐binding proteins. Among these groups of antibodies, lupus anticoagulant (LA) and anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL)
Placebo controlled trial study of efficacy of Kinetic Oscillation Stimulation (KOS) in nasal cavity will be conducted in patients with myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The outcome of the treatment will be assessed with clinical evaluation of patients, cognitive tests, structural and functional MRI of the brain.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if lymphocyte markers predict response to rituximab among patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
