Filter by:The aim of study is to assess the angioprotective effects of antihypertensive combination therapy with perindopril 10 mg and moxonidine 0.4-0.6 mg in patients with arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, who had Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) > 10 m/s on the previously administered two-component combination antihypertensive therapy. Open-label non-comparative prospective study for 24 week for each patient.
The incidence of prerectal resection syndrome (LARS) after middle and low rectal cancer surgery is as high as 70%, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Studies have shown that colon pouch can reduce and alleviate LARS symptoms. However, most previous studies focused on open surgery, and the evaluation index lacked objectivity. Therefore, in the context of minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery, it is necessary to re-evaluate the value of improved surgical methods for the prevention of LARS, so as to improve the quality of life of patients.
The main objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic models of sevoflurane-induced sedation during ARDS depending on the lung imaging phenotype (focal vs nonfocal phenotypes) The authors hypothesized that sevoflurane used for inhaled sedation could have distinct pharmacokinetic profiles depending on lung imaging phenotypes (focal vs nonfocal) during ARDS in ICU patients.
To assess the impact of mirabegron versus solifenacin on psychological distress, sexual function, bladder wall thickness and bladder blood flow.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PLX51107 and how well it works with azacitidine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. PLX51107 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving PLX51107 and azacitidine may work better than azacitidine alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
This study aims to see if mobile video clips (smartphone recordings) can be used to screen children with Down syndrome to identify those at highest risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), so they can be prioritized for an earlier sleep study. Parents will be asked to record short video clips of their child sleeping, and then rate whether they think their child has OSA. Later, children will undergo a sleep study to compare to the ratings.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder and a leading cause of infertility in women of reproductive age affecting up to 20% of them. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is considered a second-line treatment of infertile patients with clomiphene citrate-resistant (CCR) PCOS i.e. those who did not ovulate in response to CC doses of up to 150 mg for at least three consecutive cycles. The advantage of LOD is the induction of unifollicular ovulation without the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome or high-order multiple pregnancies. The common practice of LOD was to drill both ovaries i.e. bilateral (BLOD) with a fixed dose of 600 Joules per each ovary (1200 Joules in both) delivered through four punctures, each for 4 s and using 40 W. However, its main adverse effect is diminished ovary reserve due to tissue damage (2). In 1994, Balen and Jacobs reported the effectiveness of fixed-dose unilateral LOD (ULOD) in the management of those women. Subsequently, several randomized trials demonstrated its efficacy with comparable ovulation and pregnancy rates to BLOD. Recently, a new concept called"dose-adjusted" ULOD was proposed. It means to tailor the energy applied to one ovary, according to its preoperative volume using 60 J/ cm3. When compared with the fixed-dose BLOD among 96 infertile women with CCR- PCOS, a significantly higher ovulation rate during the first postoperative menstrual cycle was in favor of the ULOD group (73 vs. 49%). Meanwhile, a comparable ovulation rate over the 6-month period was found (82 vs. 64%) (6). In addition, both groups experienced a reduction in serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level after LOD which was significantly more in the BLOD group in the first and the 6-month follow-up periods. However, another RCT (n=108 CCR- PCOS patients) reported a comparable ovulation and pregnancy rates at 3-month follow-up period (65.4 vs. 77.3% and 15.4 vs. 26.4%, in ULOD and BLOD respectively) with a reduction in the effectiveness of dose-adjusted ULOD after 6 months. A highly significant difference between ULOD and BLOD groups with regard to the AMH level at 3- and 6-month was also reported. Thereby, the efficacy of dose-adjusted ULOD in improving fertility outcomes in infertile women with CCR- PCOS as well as its effect on ovarian reserve warrants more investigation.
This first-in-human study will evaluate RVU120 (SEL120), a novel small molecule CDK8/19 inhibitor, in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (HR-MDS), in terms of selection of the recommended dose for further clinical development and assessment of safety, tolerability, preliminary anti-leukemic activity, as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles.
Abdominal pain is a central symptom of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBD is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. IBS does not have clear biomarkers and is diagnosed based on symptom reports. The aim of this study is to explore biopsychosocial factors which may perpetuate and/or increase the severity of pain in these conditions. The main focus will be on the role of top-down brain processes in the experience of abdominal pain.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a self-monitoring intervention to improve shopping performance in adults with intellectual disability (ID) secondary to Down syndrome (DS). The research question asks, can an 8-week self-monitoring intervention, provided in a community-based setting, increase observable shopping skills in adults with ID secondary to DS?
