Filter by:Behçet's syndrome (BS) is an idiopathic, chronic, multi-systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by ocular disease, skin lesions, vascular, neurological and gastrointestinal involvement. A recent study showed a peculiar dysbiosis of gut microbiota (GM) in BS patients, with specific changes in the profiles of short-chain fatty acids, especially butyrate. Over the last few years, a growing interest on the role of GM in metabolic disturbances has been manifested. Diet is one of the major factors driving the GM composition and functionality. In this context, the influence of diets generally recognized healthy on GM has been explored, but consistent data on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are not available. The aim of this intervention study is to investigate whether a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet enriched in substrates with potential for butyrate production or a Mediterranean diet supplemented with oral butyrate could be beneficial for GM and metabolic risk profile in BS.
The investigators plan to investigate the consequences of late effects (radiation-induced survivorship syndromes) after radiotherapy in Gynecological and Prostate cancer survivors on return to work (Yes/No) and if RTW happened then time to RTW. In addition, whether general health, type of work (occupation), work environment factors, individual factors (lifestyle, socioeconomic status etc.), contribute to the adverse late effects of radiotherapy and these Gynecological cancer survivors have a higher risk for disability pension/long term sickness absence (NOT Return to work).
A 6-month, parallel-arm, investigator-masked, randomized clinical trial was conducted in patients with MetS and severe periodontitis. Participants were randomly assigned to an Intensive Periodontal Treatment group (IPT; scaling and root planing and azithromycin capsules 500mg/24h/3days) or to a Minimal Periodontal Treatment group (MPT; professional plaque removal and placebo capsules). Blood and subgingival microbiological samples were collected at baseline, 3 and 6 months after therapy. The primary outcome was between-group difference in C-reactive protein (CRP). Secondary outcomes included HbA1c, lipids, α-1 antitrypsin, fibrinogen levels and subgingival microbiota assessment.
In this single-center trial, we aim to include 8 patients with severe and medically refractory Tourette's syndrome. All patients undergo deep brain stimulation surgery with two electrodes located in the centromedian-parafascicular complex. Tic severity and secondary outcome measurements are assessed six and twelve months after surgery. Additionally, a short randomized, double-blinded sham controlled crossover sequence of 24 to 48 hours in either active or sham stimulation is implemented after both 6 and 12 months assesments. Subjects and clinicians are blinded to treatment allocation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with CPX-351 (an FDA approved drug for the treatment of AML) in individuals with MDS while using a new stratification tool to predict outcomes of participants following HMA failure. This approach is intended to gain a better understanding and insight into identifying new opportunities for drug approvals in this setting.
This study aims to provide an estimate of the incidence of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and autoimmune encephalitides in France between the years 2016 and 2018. The study will describe the incidence of antibody subtypes and regional variations.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the most commonly undertaken neuromodulatory surgery techniques in the treatment of neuropathic pain. The indication for SCS is an ineffective conservative treatment of chronic pain syndromes. The effectiveness of SCS in the case of neuropathic pain is high. The positive result of SCS treatment is the reduction of previous painful symptoms by min. 50% and / or a reduction in the amount of taken analgesics and an improvement in the quality of life including sleep quality. Long-term studies estimate that in a properly selected group of patients more than 50% of patients achieve pain reduction by the required 50% and about 60% - 70% have an improvement in the quality of life and a reduction of pain. The efficacy of SCS in different modes of stimulation is evaluated. Patients receive four different types of stimulation for 2-week period - not knowing what kind of stimulation it is. It is said that in one type of stimulation they would feel parestesias and in other three they would not. Patients are not informed that beside tonic, burst and high frequency stimulation, the fourth is an off stimulation to check for placebo effect. The test is double-blinded
Study investigators want to learn more about the underlying biological clock and to see if the timing of that clock can be estimated from a single blood sample.
This pilot study will investigate the enrichment type, in pancakes, most effective at improving markers of metabolic syndrome. Ready-made pancakes enriched with either docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), beta-glucan (BG) or anthocyanins (AC), alone or in combination of DHA+BG or DHA+AC, will be consumed for 4 weeks.
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory), or myelodysplastic syndrome. Patients must also have a change in the gene called the IDH gene (IDH mutation). Olaparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This study is being done to see if olaparib is better or worse in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome compared to the standard chemotherapy drugs.
