Filter by:Patients with myofascial pain syndrome at upper trapezius will be randomized into 2 groups, fascial injection group and subcutaneous control injection group. Pain condition pain, range of motion and function will be evaluated in 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after injection.
Evaluation of the effect of topical application of Tacrolimus 0.03% (FK506) eye drops versus Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops in treatment of dry eye in Secondary Sjogren Syndrome.
To perform an receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, define a threshold and quantify the sensitivity and specificity of US SWE for risk stratification of patients into three categories as defined by the European Bone Marrow Transplant (EBMT) adult and pediatric criteria: no sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), mild to moderate SOS, and severe to very severe SOS. Secondarily, the investigators would also like to quantify the temporal relationship between US SWE changes and SOS diagnosis according to various clinical criteria (Modified Seattle, Baltimore, EBMT consortium).
To determine if Inositol, a dietary supplement, will improve ovarian and adrenal androgen excess in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS).
This is a randomized controlled trial in a cohort of Egyptian patients suffered from mild to moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel. They were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: patients received ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection and group 2 patients received ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection. The outcome measures were assessed via Visual Analogue Scale, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire, electrophysiological findings in sensory and motor function of the median nerve and morphological changes of median nerve detected by ultrasound.
The objective of this research study is to test the accuracy of preexisting criteria versus expert interpretation for the diagnosis of acute coronary occlusion (major heart attack due to a completely blocked blood vessel). If our hypothesis proves to be true, this would provide a significant improvement in the care for patients who present to the hospital with possible symptoms of coronary ischemia (symptoms due to lack of blood flow to the heart). The primary analysis will be designed as a multi-center, retrospective case-control study.
1. To evaluate ocular blood perfusion status and the possibility of craniocerebral vascular lesions of patients with ocular ischemia syndrome (OIS) using arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging technique. 2. To evaluate the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging technique in OIS diagnosis, compared with the traditional routine examination method.
This study is a controlled trial of metformin in individuals with fragile X syndrome between the ages of 6 and 35 years. Participants will be randomized in a double-blind design to either drug or placebo and will attend three visits to the study site in a 4-month period for a series of tests. The primary objectives are to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of metformin in the treatment of language deficits, behavior problems, and obesity/excessive appetite in individuals with fragile X syndrome.
Chronic ankle pain is a common clinical problem with a wide differential diagnosis. Soft-tissue and osseous impingement syndromes are now increasingly recognized as a significant cause of chronic ankle pain. Ankle impingement syndromes are defined as pathologic conditions resulting in chronic, painful restriction to movement at the tibiotalar articulation secondary to soft-tissue or osseous abnormalities. Ankle impingement is classified according to its anatomic relationship to the tibiotalar joint as anterolateral, anterior, anteromedial, posteromedial, or posterior impingement.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) adults (n = 24; 18-65 y) will be enrolled to complete a 2-arm, double-blind, randomized controlled, crossover trial. They will be randomized in 4-unit blocks to receive, for 14 d, a controlled diet with dairy milk (3.5% fat; 3 servings/d) enriched with milk fat globule membrane (MFGM, MEB) or a matched dairy milk that instead contains soy lecithin/phospholipid (control, COMP). All foods during each study period will be provided to ensure weight maintenance and to increase homogeneity of gut and host responses. Anthropometrics and blood pressure will be assessed at days 0, 7, and 14. Prior to (day 0) and after each 2-wk arm (day 14), a fasting blood sample will be collected to assess serum endotoxin and metabolic chemistries (glucose, lipids, insulin), and Toll-like receptor 4 /nuclear factor kappaB (TLR4/NFκB)-dependent genes from whole blood. A breath sample will be collected to assess the correlation analysis of plasma metabolic biomarkers. After the 2-week intervention, from fecal samples collected on day 13, the investigators will assess microbiota composition and function, short chain fatty acids (SCFA), and intestinal inflammatory markers (calprotectin, myeloperoxidase). On d 14, participants in the fasted state will receive a high-fat/high-glucose meal challenge to induce gut-derived endotoxin translocation. At 30-minute intervals for 3-hour, the investigators will evaluate circulating endotoxin, glucose, and insulin; TLR4/NFκB-dependent genes will be assessed from whole blood at 0 hour and 3-hour. Gut permeability probes will be co-administered with the test meal challenge, and 24-hour urine will be collected to assess gut barrier integrity. Participants will then undergo a 2-week washout prior to receiving the alternative treatment and completing all procedures in an identical manner.
