Filter by:Respiratory failure associated with Covid-19 can be expressed as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is an acute inflammatory lung injury,which generally requires the use of invasive mechanical ventilation (MV). There are inconclusive results regarding the potential lung recruitment in ARDS. At the lung level, the relationship between lung volume and pressure can be graphed through a pressure/volume (P/V) curve. In this curve, hysteresis (H) can be evaluated, which is the amount of energy generated during inspiration that is not recovered during expiration. H is related to recruitment, assuming that the greater H the greater the alveolar recruitment. For this reason, the objective of this study is the measurement of H as a way to assess the lung recruitment capacity, in patients with ARDS and in patients with Covid-19 who develop ARDS (ARDS- Covid)
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma application with additional exercise and only exercise application on pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in subacromial impingement syndrome. Material and Method: 56 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of shoulder pain and were diagnosed with Subacromial impingement syndrome between February 2022 and February 2023 will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, the patients with informed consent will be randomized and divided into 2 groups of 28 people. The cases will be randomly divided into groups and their treatment will be done by the same researchers. Evaluation will be carried out by another investigator blinded to which group the participants belong to before and after the treatment. After the initial evaluations are completed, the 1st group will be given a home exercise program that they will apply every day for 8 weeks, and the 2nd group will be given 2 doses of PRP with an interval of 2 weeks in addition to the same exercise program. Initial evaluations of the patients will be made before the treatment and will be re-evaluated at the end of the 6th month. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); shoulder functionality will be evaluated with the Constant Murley Score, joint range of motion with the Universal Goniometer, muscle strength with the "Hand-held" dynamometer, and quality of life with the SF-36. Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) (SPSS 21.0) statistical program will be used in the statistical analysis of the data. Mann Whitney-U Test will be used to determine the difference between the efficacy of treatments. P < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant in all analyses.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an innocuous condition seen primarily in 10-60% of young active people with exercise induced leg pain. With an average delay in diagnosis of 2 years, early identification is crucial as delays have led to poor surgical outcomes after fasciotomy. Diagnosis is currently made by compartment pressure (CP) testing, which is invasive, painful and demonstrates variable accuracy. There is no literature on the role of shear wave elastography (SWE) and/or subharmonic assisted pressure estimation (SHAPE) with microbubbles in diagnosing CECS. Ultrasound contrast agents are FDA-approved and are extremely safe. In this single-blinded prospective pilot study, the accuracy of SHAPE and SWE will be evaluated and compared to the current gold standard of compartment testing in patients with suspected CECS. Muscle stiffness and record a quantitative assessment of enhancement and hydrostatic pressures will be documented and correlated with compartment testing results based on a reference standard modified Pedowitz criteria for CECS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10% of all women and usually presents with irregular menstrual periods and difficulties conceiving. It is also a lifelong metabolic disorder and affected women have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Increased blood levels of male hormones, also termed androgens, are found in most PCOS patients. Androgen excess appears to impair the ability of the body to respond to the sugar-regulating hormone insulin (also termed 'insulin resistance'). Androgens circulating in the blood in women with PCOS are comprised of classic androgens (for example testosterone), and the less-characterised 11-oxygenated androgen subclass that arises from the adrenal glands. The investigators have recently demonstrated that 11-oxygenated androgens make up the majority of circulating androgens in women with PCOS. In preliminary studies using minimally invasive adipose tissue sampling, the investigators have found that the fat tissue of women with PCOS overproduces classic androgens. This can lead directly to disturbances in the ability of fat cells to store fat effectively (lipotoxicity), resulting in insulin resistance and the consequent risk of liver damage. However, there are no published studies on in vivo androgen concentrations in the adipose tissue of women with PCOS. Furthermore, the scientific community do not have any information on whether adipose concentrations of 11-oxygenated androgens are also increased in women with PCOS. Research Questions The investigators aim to examine the metabolism of classic and 11-oxygenated androgens in detail in both circulations and in the adipose tissue of women with PCOS. The investigators will examine how precursor variants of both 11-oxygenated and classic androgens, which are converted by the body into active hormones, are broken down (metabolised) within the adipose tissue of women with PCOS. The investigators will also investigate if the 11-oxygenated androgens have a differential impact on metabolic function as compared to classic androgens. This will give important insights into the adipose tissue metabolome in women with PCOS, and how locally generated androgens impact on adipose tissue function and metabolic risk.
This is a Registry of the characteristics and clinical evolution of patients admitted for acute coronary syndromes (with or without st segment elevation) who present with cardiogenic shock or develop it during the hospitalization period. Cardiogenic shock is a rare pathology, but it constitutes the leading cause of mortality in patients hospitalized for acute infarction myocardium. Its incidence ranges between 7 and 10% of the cases of infarction1 and is associated with a mortality of 40-50% despite revascularization and the use of Intra-Aortic Counterpulsation Balloon. Most of the bibliography on this subject is North American and has a lot of years and the one currently published shows mostly the results of different ventricular supports that are not used routinely in our countries. So far there is no record that reports the reality of Latin America. Only in Argentina, a registry has been carried out (Re Na Shock) but more than 5 years have passed since its publication. In the last years have even changed the management guidelines for this pathology and have been published works that could have changed previous behaviors . This is a project of the Argentine Society of Cardiology to collect data epidemiological and current management of cardiogenic shock in Latin America.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-part Phase I/Ib study of RP7214 in combination with azacitidine in patients with AML, MDS and CMML. Part I is a 3+3 dose-escalation study to identify the MTD/RP2D of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in patients with AML, MDS, and CMML. Part II is a dose-expansion study to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in AML.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance starting in the perimenarchal period. Insulin resistance also increases the risk of developing glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. Studies on adult women with PCOS show that their aerobic capacity is affected. Therefore, in this study; it was aimed to compare the physical and cardiovascular fitness levels of adolescent PCOS patients with healthy adolescents.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the high-volume transanal irrigation (TAI) performed by the Peristeen Plus® system is superior to the low-volume TAI performed by standard 250ml water enema for the treatment of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of droperidol as a treatment of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.
The components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), particularly obesity and dyslipidemia, are linked to peripheral neuropathy (PN) among patients with diabetes or even without diabetes. Several studies revealed that complementary and herbal medicine could provide a potential for PN management and MetS components. Thus, designing clinical trials with interventions combinations to achieve a considerable improvement is highly recommended. Hesperidin and diosmin, citrus-derived flavonoids, have been reported to possess anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-hypertensive effect with high tolerability and safety profile
