This study evaluates the effect of Heavy Slow Resistance exercise (HSR) exercise in comparison with traditional supervised exercise as treatment for patients with subacromial shoulder pain. The purpose is to evaluate if HSR is feasible fir these patients, and compare its effect to traditional exercise at pain and function of the shoulder. One half will complete the heavy slow resistance exercise, the other will complete the conventional exercise.
To evaluate and compare the NoL index variations after a painful physiotherapy exercise in patients with upper limb CRPS, before and after a stellate ganglion block.
Background: Melatonin is a neurohormone that regulates the circadian rhythm by translating photoperiodic information from the eyes to the brain. Working hypothesis and aims: There is a possible link between circadian rhythm regulation and glucose homeostasis through melatonin pathways. We aim to examine the relation between melatonin levels and degree of obesity , in children and adolescents in different pubertal stages. Methods: The study group will include 24 children and adolescents in various stages of pubertal development. Participants will be categorized into 3 groups: 1) normal-weight, 2) obese subjects with metabolic syndrome, 3) obese without metabolic syndrome. Melatonin levels will be measured using saliva during the night. Expected results: We expect to find a relation between melatonin levels to the metrics of metabolic syndrome, sleep duration, number of television viewing hours and sense of depression. Importance: Childhood obesity is recognized as a major medical and public health problem and is strongly associated with many serious medical complications including the metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is important to understand mechanisms involved in the development of obesity and hyperinsulinemia. Probable implications to Medicine: Foreseeing a connection between melatonin levels and the degree of obesity and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents, we would recommend addressing duration of sleep while treating obesity.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is found in 5% to 6% of women of reproductive age. It affects women's reproductive capability; thus patients have risks of infertility, miscarriage, and complicated pregnancy. A study revealed that the prevalence of oligoovulation or anovulation in patients with PCOS ranged from 65% to 80%. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is an important regulator in the ovary that play a rule during development and function. It is suspected to affect clomiphene citrate (cc) resistance. In this study the investigator will assess the accuracy of AMH prediction of response to cc in women with PCOS.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency and safety of 2ml versus 5ml of local anesthetics used in stellate ganglion blocks for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome of the arm.
The aim of the study is to measure serum levels of myristic acid in septic patients and to compare them with myristic acid serum levels in patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome of non infective etiology and in healthy volunteers. Furthermore, other biomarkers of sepsis are evaluated in comparison with microbiological findings detected either by standard hemocultures or by molecular biological methods.
Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is acknowledged as the precancerous stage of gastric cancer (GC). The present study aims to explore Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome features in different stages of CAG malignant transformation respectively. The proposed study is a cross-sectional study based participant survey conducted in 4 hospitals in Beijing, China. After obtaining informed consent, a total of 2000 study patients will be recruited on-site in hospitals.
Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by uncontrolled hyperinflammation which may develop on the background of systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) or Adult-onset Still's Disease (AOSD). Emapalumab is a monoclonal antibody neutralizing interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), a key cytokine which contributes to the inflammation and tissue damage seen in MAS. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of emapalumab in sJIA or AOSD participants developing MAS, presenting an inadequate response to high dose glucocorticoid treatment.
Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) is a rare but often severe respiratory disorder. The incidence remains unclear and mortality is about 30%-60%. It is characterized by acute, refractory hypoxemia, persistent respiratory distress and decreased lung compliance. Evaluation and comparison of various clinical studies conducted were hindered by a lack of uniformity in diagnostic criteria.
