This is an observational study to confirm the presence of recurrent or persistent endogenous Cushing's syndrome in patients who have had primary surgical and/or radiation therapy for Cushing's disease and continue to manifest symptoms and signs of hypercortisolemia.
Schizophrenia patients treated with clozapine have a high prevalence of obesity-related metabolic syndrome. The condition is often poorly treated and may lead to the emergence of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The study will investigate whether structured treatment provided at the site of the outpatient psychiatric clinic of metabolic syndrome in this population will decrease the severity of metabolic syndrome as compared with usual care received by these patients in the community.
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of the administration of Bifidobacterium bifidum R0071, Bifidobacterium longum R0175, Lactobacillus helveticus R0052, Lactobacillus Delb. SSP bulgaricus R9001, Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011, Lactococcus Lactis SSP. lactis R1058 et Streptococcus thermophilus (Probaclac™) given twice a day for 4 weeks on digestive symptoms evaluated subjectively in children aged 8 to 18 years with irritable bowel syndrome versus placebo. This study is a double-blind randomized controlled study. 84 children will included. After inclusion, a 15-day period of observation precedes the randomization at Day 0. Patients receive Probaclac or placebo for 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment period, patients are followed for a 2-week period of follow-up. 4 visits and 4 phone calls are planned during the study.
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
This is a one-year extension study of the use of laronidase into the spinal fluid to treat spinal cord compression in mucopolysaccharidosis I. Mucopolysaccharidosis I is a rare genetic condition due to deficiency of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase. Spinal cord compression occurs in this condition due to accumulation of material called glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Laronidase is the manufactured form of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase that is deficient in mucopolysaccharidosis I patients. The aim of this study is to determine whether laronidase is safe and effective when given into the spinal fluid as a potential non-surgical treatment for spinal cord compression due to mucopolysaccharidosis I disease.

To demonstrate that spinal cord stimulator has an effect on sympathetic function (the one that give us the fight and flight response). Therefore, if the spinal cord stimulator has an effect on sympathetic function, the responses from CRPS patients to different stimuli will differ significantly pre and post SCS implant. If CRPS patients exhibit autonomic, CRPS patients could be stratified according to their sympathetic function pre-implant. It is expected that patients with a moderate/mild form of autonomic dysfunction will have better outcomes with the SCS.
This study will examine whether a medicine called canakinumab is safe and effective for treating patients with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), also known as chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular (CINCA) syndrome. This disease can cause rash, joint deformities, brain inflammation, problems with the eyes and learning difficulties. Canakinumab is an experimental drug that inhibits the action of a protein produced by the body called human IL-1beta, which is responsible for the symptoms in NOMID and also contributes to many other kinds of inflammatory diseases. Patients 2 years of age and older with NOMID / CINCA may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures: Screening Phase - Medical history and review of medical records - Blood tests - Daily diary of symptoms and medicines take Washout/Lead-in Phase - Discontinuation of anakinra or other medications, a 6 to 48-hour run-in period (only for patients who discontinued anakinra or other IL-1 blocking therapy). Treatment Phase - Injection of canakinumab under the skin every 8 weeks for 6 months - Monitoring and evaluations during treatment, including: - Quality-of-life questionnaires and daily diary - Vital signs measurements (heartbeat, blood pressure, temperature) - Blood tests - Electrocardiogram - Tuberculosis skin test - Neurological, eye and skin examinations at beginning and end of study - Cognitive evaluation at beginning and end of study - Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) at the beginning of the study, 2 weeks after the second dosing of canakinumab and at the end of the study - X-rays and bone density scan at beginning and end of study - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head at beginning and end of study Follow-up Phase - Monthly clinic visits after the last dose of canakinumab for a minimum of 60 days End-of-Study Evaluation - Series of tests 8 weeks after last dose of canakinumab to evaluate treatment response and side effects
Capecitabine (Xeloda) a drug in cancer therapy. Its use is limited often by its toxicities. This study is asking if vitamin B6 can prevent one of the common toxicities of xeloda which is numbness and/or rash of the hands and feet, a condition called Hand and Foot syndrome. patients , starting capecitabine chemotherapy for their cancer, will participate in this study at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. They will be randomized to receive either vitamin B6 or a placebo. investigators and patients will be blinded to the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if losartan limits aortic dilatation in patients with Marfan syndrome.
