This is an international, multicenter, open-label, long-term safety study of ZX008 in subjects with Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or epileptic encephalopathy
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled clinical study. It developed an innovative Tai Chi Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (TCCRP) for patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and evaluated the efficacy, acceptability and safety of TCCRP on patients with CCS in order to explore the possible mechanism of its feasibility.
Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at risk for significant language and communication impairments. Enhancing the service delivery of early intervention for children with DS is a key research and policy issue given the prevalence and detrimental effects of persistent language impairments. Using a telemedicine approach allows clinicians to provide evidence-based treatment to families from a wide geographic area in Oregon who may not otherwise have access to a language intervention specialized for children with DS. Our innovative project involves the creation of a new treatment optimized for children with DS, as it will be the first study that translates an existing evidence-based language intervention-Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT) into a telemedicine model. The goal of this study is to examine whether a telemedicine approach is effective for training parents to implement EMT language support strategies and whether changes in parent behavior are associated with child communication and language growth. The investigators will pilot the telemedicine initiative to provide early intervention services to ten children with DS (aged 18- 48 months) and their families who live in rural and /or under-served areas of Oregon. The investigators will use single-case research design methodology to pilot this intervention research. The investigators will use secure video-teleconferencing technology to provide EMT. Clinicians will provide EMT to parents through interactive coaching, teaching them how to foster their children's social communication and language skills. Outcomes will focus on parents' use of language support strategies and children's social communication and language skills. Delivering early intervention to children with DS and providing parent-training at a distance using a telemedicine approach has the potential to transform the delivery of early language interventions for children with DS. Results of this study will directly inform the development and refinement of language interventions for young children with DS.
Coronary heart disease, including acute coronary syndromes (ACS), is the leading cause of death in European countries. One of the basic elements of secondary and tertiary prevention of ACS is cardiac rehabilitation. The aims of the study are evaluation of the impact of cardiac rehabilitation on health state- especially on cardiovascular function parameters in patients after acute coronary syndrome and evaluation of the influence of the level of gene expression and polymorphisms of genes associated with ischemic heart disease on the course of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after ACS. The study will consist of a retrospective and prospective part. The retrospective part will include patients who have had acute coronary syndrome in the past and then - before being included in the study - have undergone cardiac rehabilitation. In the retrospective part, patients enrolled in the study will not undergo cardiac rehabilitation as a part of the study intervention. The prospective part will include patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome in the past and will undergo cardiac rehabilitation as the study intervention. After being included in the study, patients will undergo medical examination. Then subsequent procedures will be performed: anthropometric measurements; ECG; body composition analysis by bioimpedance; measurement of resting blood pressure, resting heart rate and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin; pulse wave analysis; transthoracic echocardiography of the heart; 24-hour blood pressure measurement by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM); 24-hour ECG recording using the Holter method; electrocardiographic exercise test on a treadmill and / or a six-minute walk test or other exercise test adequate to the patient's state of health; assessment of the quality of the diet; assessment of lifestyle, acceptance of disease and quality of life; assessment of the psychological profile. Subsequently patients taking part in the prospective part of the study will perform a cardiac rehabilitation program. After the cardiac rehabilitation program measurement procedures listed above will be repeated. Before and after the cardiac rehabilitation program blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will be collected. Blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will also be collected from patients taking part in the retrospective part of the study.

The prevalence of US adults with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is over 34%, impacting nearly 35% of all adults and 50% of those aged 60 years or older. MetS is characterized as a combination of underlying risk factors that when, occurring together, increase the risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer, resulting in an 1.6-fold increase in mortality. According the American Heart Association, health risks associated with Metabolic Syndrome can be significantly reduced by reducing body weight and eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Potatoes (e.g. skin-on white potatoes) are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 and a good source of magnesium and dietary fiber. In addition, the potato has greater dry matter and protein per unit growing area compared with cereals. Despite this, consumers tend to believe that potatoes are high in calories and in fat compared with other carbohydrate sources such as rice or pasta, an incorrect assumption since a potato has negligible fat and a low energy density similar to legumes. Data from short-term nutrition intervention trials, suggest that potatoes consumed as part of a low-glycemic load meal can play a role in the prevention or treatment of MetS. However, the impact of long-term potato consumption on cardiometabolic risk factors associated with MetS is not known. Therefore, there is a critical need to determine if regular (> 4 times per week) potato consumption can improve cardiometabolic health in individuals with MetS.
This is a single-center pilot study of 20 patients with AML/MDS. Eligible patients will be enrolled following an informed consent between 6-20 weeks after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Patients will receive weekly oral ONC 201 for a total of 52 weeks.
In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriatic and psoriatic arthritis patients as well as the parameters of metabolic syndrome will be examined. At the same time, the levels of omentin and visfatin adipokines associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity will be measured by measuring the disease severity (by PASI psoriasis, clinical activity score for psoriatic arthritis). The patients who accepted to participate in the study , who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic were included in the study. For the blood tests required after the examination, 2 tubes of blood will be taken for the measurement of omentin and visfatin. 80 psoriasis, 40 psoriatic arthritis and 60 healthy volunteers were planned to be studied. AHA / NHLBI, 2005 (revised ATP III criteria) criterion for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome will be used. Omentin and visfatin levels are compared with the severity of the disease for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and it will be examined whether it is proinflammatory or antiinflammatory.
