Cardiovascular-renal-metabolic (CRM) syndrome is defined as a systemic disorder with a collection of related signs and symptoms attributable to the coexistence of multiple cardiovascular, renal and metabolic disease with a common underlying pathophysiology in one individual. Surveying this syndrome in a large population in Jordan aims at studying the risk factors, components and stages of the syndrome, thus helping early screening, diagnosing and treating disease and its risk factors.
The aim of this study is to define local immune responses in the GI tract to food antigens in IBS patients, with and without Brachyspira infection, using advanced imaging. We hypothesize that Brachyspira infection can cause IBS symptoms by inducing loss of oral tolerance to dietary antigens through development of food-specific intestinal immune reactions and subsequent development of visceral hypersensitivity. During this study, the investigators will perform either confocal laser endomiscroscopy (CLE) or colonoscopic antigen provocation test (COLAP) to test to which food items the participants react to. Furthermore, the investigators will perform rectal barostat examination and a sigmoidoscopy without laxatives. The investigators will collect biological samples and the participants will complete several questionnaires.
This study is designed following the updated Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions. The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effects, safety, and cost-effectiveness of an evidence-based somatic acupressure (SA) intervention on the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster and quality of life among breast cancer survivors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effectiveness of sequential use of rituximab and belimumab in the treatment of resistant primary juvenile Sjogren's syndrome. Does sequential use of rituximab and belimumab reduce the activity of SS in resistant patients Researchers will compare the disease activity before and after the treatment of sequential use of rituximab and belimumab to see if the therapy works to treat SS. Participants will: Recieve Rituximab each week for 2-4 times until B%<0.5% or B#<20×10^6/L Recieve Belimumab 4 weeks after the last use of Rituximab, and then every 4 weeks until week 28
this study will be conducted to investigate the effects of radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy on ultrasonography changes, pain intensity, pain pressure threshold and lower limb function in patient with iliotibial band syndrome
Following the guidance of individuals with primary Sjögren's Syndrome who receive diagnosis, routine medical care, and treatment management, the evaluations will be performed once by the researchers and will take approximately one hour. In addition, healthy individuals with a similar average age to the evaluation group without any disease diagnosis will be included in the study as a control group. Evaluations of the healthy group will be made once by the researchers and will take approximately one hour. Data will be collected face to face at the Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Rheumatology Unit. Data collection tool of the research: - Information about patients will be recorded with the Demographic Information Form. - EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index - EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reporting Index - Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Quality of Life Scale - BETY-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire - Central Sensitization Scale - Pain Catastrophizing Scale - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Multidimensional Fatigue Rating Scale - Turkish Eating Assessment Tool - Yale Swallow Protocol - Test of Mastication and Swallowing Solids - Dysphagia Limit Test - Xerostomia inventory
Background. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in the world is constantly increasing. Treatment of T2D is complicated by arterial hypertension and obesity (metabolic syndrome - MS). Cardiovascular complications are the main cause of death in patients with MS. Objective weight loss improves clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with T2D and hypertension. Purpose: To study lifespan, glycemic and lipid metabolism, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness of pharmacologic, surgical, and dietetic weight loss methods in obese patients with MS at 24 weeks in a comparative clinical trial. Methods: 1. st stage - Study design: An open pilot prospective clinical trial. The study included 71 adult patients with T2D and hypertension for the Ramadan fast's (RF) weight loss. 2. nd stage - Study design: A 24-week open label, prospective, multicenter, comparative clinical trial with the intention-to-treat analysis. Participants. Totally 150 adult patients with MS aged 35-65 years and with BMI≥27 kg/m2 for Asian will be included. They will be distributed in three comparative groups: drug treatment, surgery and diet. Primary endpoints: weight loss, fasting blood glucose, blood insulin level, systolic/diastolic BP. Secondary endpoints: blood lipids, heel bone mineral density (HBMD), and ejection fraction (EF). Expected results: A prospective multicenter clinical study will provide comparative results on life expectancy, glycemic and lipid metabolism, quality of life, cost-effectiveness of pharmacological, bariatric and dietary methods of weight loss in patients with obesity, T2D and hypertension. As a result of the research, the following will be published: 1. at least three articles and/or reviews in peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web Of Science database and/or having a Cite Score percentile in the Scopus of at least 50; 2. at least 1 patent for an invention (including a positive decision on it).
Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined biochemically as a normal serum free thyroxine (T4) level in the presence of an increased serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration.(1) Its prevalence ranges from 4 to 15 percent and is higher in females and increasing age.(2) Overt hypothyroidism was associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and an increased risk of cardiovascular abnormalities. (3) Some studies have reported a higher atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in patients with SCH. (5-8) Elevated TSH levels were observed to be associated with higher cholesterol levels.(9) Higher mortality was also reported in some studies (6,10) especially with TSH ≥ 10.0 mIU/L, in contrast to other studies.(11,12) Heart failure events and myocardial infarction have been reported to be higher.(13,14) These findings in SCH patients could be explained by mitochondrial oxidative stress due to elevated inflammatory markers, hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, increased vascular resistance and left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction.(3,15,16) As is the case with overt hypothyroidism, SCH was observed to be associated with elevated peripheral vascular resistance and diastolic dysfunction.(17) There are a few studies evaluating the effects of subclinical hypothyroidism on the outcomes of acute coronary syndrome patients.
Sixty three individuals with chronic subacromial pain syndrome will be included in our study. In the evaluations to be made to the participants; Pain intensity will be measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), joint movement and shoulder proprioception will be measured with the inclinometer, and shoulder muscle strength will be measured with the digital hand dynamometer. In addition, functionality and disability levels will be determined by SPADI and Short form-Questionnaire for Arm, Shoulder and Hand Problems (Q-DASH). Supraspinatus tendon thickness and acromiohumeral space measurements will be made by ultrasonographic imaging. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale survey and quality of life will be evaluated with the SF-12 survey (The 12-item Short Form Survey). Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups of 21 participants each. In addition to the standard physiotherapy program, taping around the shoulder will be applied to the kinesio taping group, and localized vibration therapy around the shoulder will be applied to the localized vibration therapy group, in addition to the standard physiotherapy program. The Control Group (CG) will receive the same physiotherapy program as the other groups and will attend the same number of sessions as the other groups, accompanied by a physiotherapist. Evaluations will be made and analyzed before treatment, after 3 weeks of treatment, after 6 weeks of treatment, at 12 weeks and at the end of 24 weeks.
