Filter by:The purpose of this protocol is to compare standard of care lung protective ventilation settings with an automated ventilator setting, called Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV), in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study will compare measurements (i.e. tidal volumes, driving pressure, respiratory rate (RR), compliance, peak airway pressures, plateau pressures, PEEP) with each ventilator technique, and will measure esophageal pressures to compare transpulmonary and respiratory system mechanics.
Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (TIE) consists of an equipment that enables the visualization / quantification in real time of the regional distribution of ventilation and pulmonary perfusion, as well as of ventilatory mechanics. Used on the edge of the bed, it is easy to move, non-invasive, allowing a momentary or continuous assessment, guiding the conduct in a safe and precise way through the electrical impedance technology. It is important to note that, in addition to ensuring the efficacy of the patient's behavior, the TIE supports the most diverse types of studies to be performed. These include those based on the effectiveness of the use of the method in the most diverse pulmonary dysfunctions, in the adjustment of the mechanical ventilation and in the average time of hospitalization. Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary function of patients in invasive mechanical ventilation through SIT. Method: This research was carried out in compliance with the National Health Council's Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings (466/12). The study was a prospective longitudinal clinical-experimental type in which all patients (occasional sampling) used mechanical ventilation and were hospitalized in the Adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Foundation of Pará, and they developed sepsis with pulmonary repercussions; (DEHG) / HELLP Syndrome and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated and monitored with TIE to perform ventilatory therapy according to the research objectives. The research was carried out in the city of Belém, in the state of Pará, in the adult ICU of the FSCMP. As inclusion criterion, the patient should be in the FSCMP adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU), under mechanical invasive ventilation, previously authorized by the family through the Informed Consent Form to participate in the study.
This is a multi-center, multi-period study with an open-label period followed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period evaluating the safety and efficacy of DCCR treatment.
The study was conducted to determine the therapeutic role of flax seed for Poly cystic ovary syndrome. A sample of 100 subjects were collected. The subjects were from various age group ranging from 18 to 45 years. Subjects showing the signs, symptoms, biochemical, and clinical parameters of the diseases were included in the study. Three different quantities of flax seed were introduced to the subjects for 90 days. Objectives: 1. To assess the nutritional status of Poly cystic Ovary Syndrome patients 2. To determine the therapeutic role of flax seed for PCOS patients Material and method: The level of follicle stimulating hormone, leutinizing hormone, sex hormone binding globulin, serum prolactin, ultrasound were analyzed. To determine the side effects of the flax seed, the liver-enzymatic, lipid profile, and renal tests were conducted.
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease, which mainly affects the lacrimal and salivary glands, leading to sicca syndrome. pSS has a probable autoimmune etiology, with the production of several autoantibodies such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-Ro/SS-A, anti-La/SS-B, rheumatoid factor (RF) and cryoglobulins. Recently, our group described a high frequency of antibodies directed to DNase I in the serum of pSS patients and these antibodies were associated with the presence of the anti-Epstein-Barr (EBV) early antigen diffuse (anti-EA-D). This finding becomes interesting considering the recent description of reduction of DNase I activity in the tear of patients with xerophthalmia of different causes, which would result in an accumulation of extracellular DNA and neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate on the ocular surface. This hypothesis is reinforced by the observation that treatment with DNase I as eye drops results in clinical improvement of dry eye. In addition, it has been shown that periodontal disease is an aggravating factor of xerostomia in pSS, as it leads to a chronic inflammatory process and, consequently, to the destruction of minor salivary glands. Therefore, the objective of the present study will be to evaluate the presence of antibodies directed to DNase I in the saliva and serum of pSS patients and its possible capacity of inhibition of the enzyme before and after treatment of periodontal disease. Such findings will be correlated with the presence of periodontal disease, with the glandular and extraglandular manifestations of SSp and also with the presence of EBV DNA in the serum and oral lavage of these patients.
Analysis of Abnormal Muscle Activities on Forward Neck Posture Syndrome Patients and Effect of Neck Extension Exercise Using 8 Channel Surface Electromyography
The main purpose of this study is to compare the impact of concurrent high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and whole-body electromyostimulation exercise (WB-EMS) or low-volume conventional strength training (CST) on the cardiometabolic risk profile, overall physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength), body composition, inflammatory markers and subjective health outcomes after a 12-week intervention trial in overweight individuals at increased cardiometabolic risk. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the influence of intra-session exercise order on all outcomes.
This study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Bushen Culuan Decoction in the treatment of anovulatory infertility, including anovulatory abnormal uterine bleeding, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, corpus luteum insufficiency and ovarian insufficiency, through a randomised, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel positive controlled, adaptive multicenter clinical trial.
Shoulder pain in people with spinal cord injury is one of the most prevalent in acute and chronic patients because of weakness in shoulder periarticular muscles, and also because of overuse of these part of the body in assistive devices. This study aims to evidence if dry needling (a physiotherapy technique) is also useful in patients with spinal cord injury, and how long it could hold out without or less pain.
Berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from medicinal herbs, has been demonstrated to produce beneficial effects on diabetes and hyperlipidemia, fewer study reported its modification on lipid metabolism in schizophrenia. Metformin, have been used for metabolic abnormalities in schizophrenia, findings from these studies indicated that they did have some effect,which are still in experimental stage.This study is aim to compare the efficacy and safety of berberine and metformin for preventing metabolic dysfunction in schizophrenia patients.
