Filter by:PCOS is a common endocrinopathy affecting 5-10% of women in their reproductive age characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation and polycystic ovaries. This syndrome is a serious problem in IVF since there is a high risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) during ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins. The introduction of GnRH antagonist in IVF has reduced the incidence of severe OHSS, still maintaining a good ovarian response and pregnancy rate. Recently, a long acting GnRH antagonist, Degarelix, was introduced for prostatic cancer treatment. Furthermore a recent paper reported its use also for the induction of multiple follicular growth in a program of oocyte donation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of GnRH antagonist depot use in a protocol of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in PCOS women at risk of developing OHSS in IVF cycles.
This study aims at studying the natural history of Netherton syndrome (NS), to identify the consequences of LEKTI deficiency on the immune system and to characterize new molecular mechanisms involved in the disease.
This is a 12-week, randomized, open-label,,multicenter, Phase IV study exploring LDL-C lowering efficacy of Rosuvastatin 20 mg/d compared to 10 mg/day Chinese ACS patients.The Randomized Treatment Period is preceded by a 24hours Screening Period. The study flow chart (Figure 1) depicts the 2 periods which comprise the study. These periods are described as follows: 1. Screening Period (Day -1 through Day 1) This period consists of Visits 1 and 2. Subjects entering the Screening Period are required to meet the inclusion criteria. All subjects will be instructed to follow the current TLC(therapeutic lifestyle change)dietary guidelines for the duration of the trial. 2. 12-week Randomized Treatment Period (Day 1 through Week 12) This period consists of Visits 2, 3, 4, and 5. Eligible subjects will be randomized at Visit 2 to each treatment group: Rosuvastatin 20 mg orRosuvastatin10 mg. Treatment will be administered once daily for 12 weeks. A total of 450valid subjects in each of the Rosuvastatin arms are required, in order to test the hypothesis of superiority for comparison of LDL-C levels between Rosuvastatin20 mg and Rosuvastatin10 mg(see Section 6.1 for more details). The Study visit schedule(Table 2) indicates the number and timing of the planned visits. The visit schedule must be within time window. At the final visit, it is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure the subject is offered an selected appropriate type of lipid-lowering therapy. Scheduled Visit3,4,5 will have a visit window of ±2 days. Subjects who attend a clinic visit without fasting (at least 12 hours) should be asked to return within 2 days for another clinic visit after fasting for at least 12 hours.
This study was designed to test the efficacy and safety of low laser therapy to treat the xerostomia of patients with primary Sjogren's Syndrome.
Dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome (DIOS), is a frequent hepatic iron overload associated with metabolic syndrome. We hypothesize that this mild iron overload can induce a increased macrophagic polarization towards inflammatory types, thereby contributing to cardiovascular risk. Our main objective is to highlight the influence of iron overload on polarization capacity of monocytes into alternative macrophages (called M2). We therefore compare phenotypic markers of monocytes/macrophages between subjects with DIOS, metabolic syndrome without iron overload and lean subjects.
Compared to other children, those with disability have additional challenges to being physically active. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic form of childhood obesity that is characterized by hypotonia, growth hormone deficiency, behavioral, and cognitive disability. In children, the low prevalence of PWS (1 in 10,000 to 15,000 live births) makes group-based physical activity (PA) interventions impossible. In contrast, the home environment presents a natural venue to establish a PA routine for this population. The present high prevalence of non-syndromal childhood obesity (one in four) and high physical inactivity rates, make alternative approaches to increasing PA in this population an area of high interest. Therefore, we have developed a 24-week home-based physical activity that could be suitable for children and adolescents ages 8-15 with PWS as well as obese children without PWS ages 8-11 years. It is hypothesized that: 1) an age-appropriate 24-week home-based PA intervention will increase PA levels in youth with PWS and without the syndrome but with obesity; 2) motor proficiency, central sensory reception and integration, and body composition will significantly improve in youth with and without PWS following completion of the home-based PA intervention and 3) physical activity self-efficacy and quality of life will increase significantly in youth with and without PWS who complete the home-based PA intervention. The study participants are 115 youth ages 8-15 y (45 with PWS and 70 without PWS but categorized as obese). The study utilizes a parallel design with the wait-listed control group receiving the intervention after serving as control. Participants are expected to complete the PA curriculum 4 days a week for six months including playground games 2 days a week and interactive console games 2 days a week. Parents are trained at baseline and then provided with a PA curriculum (Active Play at Home) and equipment to guide their implementation of the program at home. Measurements of children and parent dyads are assessed at baseline and at the end (week 24) of the intervention or control periods. Outcome measures include PA, body composition, motor proficiency, central sensory reception and integration (subsample of children only), quality of life and physical activity self-efficacy. PA intervention compliance is monitored using mail-in daily self-report checklists.
This will be a prospective diagnostic trial of screening for prostate cancer among men with genetic predisposition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of custom made devices, Zenith t-Branch devices and physician modification of FDA approved off-the-shelf endovascular grafts in the treatment of patients with complex abdominal aneurysms, aortoiliac aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aneurysms and aortic arch aneurysms who (1) have anatomy not suitable for endovascular repair using grafts currently marketed in the United States,(2) are deemed unsafe to wait the required time necessary for commercial endograft manufacturing, and (3) are at high risk for open surgical repair. Amendment to the study has created a cohort open to people with connective tissue diseases such as Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos or Loey-Dietz syndromes to enroll in the trial. An additional amendment to the study allows the use of a custom made device to treat an aneurysm in the aortic arch.
