Filter by:PCOS is a complex disease that is diagnosed by the presence of two of the following three: oligo/anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, or polycystic ovaries by ultrasound . PCOS affects 4% to 21% of females in reproductive age . Although subfertility is abundant in women with PCOS, a majority of these women will achieve pregnancy naturally or by treatment. Different treatment modalities are present for ovulation induction. Life style modifications including weight loss are encouraged for those who are overweight or obese. Pharmacological induction of ovulation represent the first line therapy for induction of ovulation. Options include aromatase inhibitors (Letrozole), Clomiphene Citrate (CC) or Metformin, alone or in combinations. For second line treatment either Gonadotropins (Gn) or laparoscopic ovarian surgery (LOS) are the recommended options . the objective of the trial is to study the effectiveness and safetey of surgical induction of ovulation strategy and compare it to medical induction strategy with Gonadotropins
Currently, the growing epidemic of a new coronavirus infectious disease (Covid-19) is wreaking havoc worldwide, which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a RNA virus that display high similarity in both genomic and proteomic profiling with SARS-CoV that first emerged in humans in 2003 in China. Therefore, preventing and controlling the pandemic occurrences are extremely urgent as a global top priority. Due to the lack of effective antiviral drugs, patients may be treated by only addressing their symptoms such as reducing fever. Clinical autopsies from SARS-CoV-infected patients demonstrated that there were major pathological changes in the lungs, immune organs, and small systemic blood vessels with vasculitis. However, the detection of SARS-CoV were primarily found in the lung and trachea/bronchus, but was undetectable in spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, heart and aorta, highlighting the overreaction of immune responses induced by viral infection were really harmful, resulting in the pathogenesis of lungs, immune organs, and small systemic blood vessels. To this respect, immune modulation strategy may be potentially beneficial to enhance anti-viral immunity and efficiently reduce the viral load, improve clinical outcomes, expedite the patient recovery, and decline the rate of mortality in patients after being infected with SARS-CoV-2. Tianhe Stem Cell Biotechnologies Inc. has developed a novel globally-patented Stem Cell Educator (SCE) technology designed to reverse the autoimmune response in Type 1 diabetes (T1D), Alopecia Areata (AA) and other autoimmune diseases. SCE therapy uses human multipotent cord blood stem cells (CB-SC) from human cord blood. Their properties distinguish CB-SC from other known stem cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Several clinical studies show that SCE therapy functions via CB-SC induction of immune tolerance in autoimmune T cells and restore immune balance and homeostasis in patients with T1D, AA and other inflammation-associated diseases. To correct the overreaction of overreaction of immune responses, the investigators plan to treat SARS-CoV-2 patients with Stem Cell Educator therapy.
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) also known as shin splints or tibial periostitis is a common injury in athletes and soldiers/cadets with incidences ranging between 4% and 35% in these populations . It is characterized by pain in the middle and lower end of tibia; the pain is usually elicited by practicing sports or other physical activities. The criteria for diagnosis for MTSS were established by Yates and White. Although the prognosis of MTSS is usually benign, it can evolve to chronicity and be disabling. Several studies have demonstrated the effects of different medical treatment in athletes and cadets with MTSS. Study will correspond to the demonstration of treatment options for medial tibial stress syndrome that lie in the domain of Physical Therapy. Therapeutic Ultrasound and Shortwave Diathermy.
Patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with a prone position (PP) indication will benefit from measurements of radiological and biological kidney injury markers, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and ventilatory mechanics in supine position (baseline IAP), after 2 hours in PP at the current IAP value, thirty minutes after patients' abdomen suspension in order to resume baseline IAP and after patients' are turned back to supine position.
In the present investigation the pain reduction effects of Gabapentin will be compared to those produced by the absence of treatment, in subjects who suffer the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The crystalline lens of the human eye helps to sharpen vision. There can be issues with the support/stability of the lens. This could be seen with the naked eye of an external observer or with the use of a slit lamp. Certain eye conditions can predispose to issues with lens stability. If patients have stability issues with their natural lens- this would be termed as "phakodonesis". However, in patients who have had prior cataract surgery with implantation of an artificial lens (IOL)- this would be termed as "pseudophakodonesis". Eye conditions such as pseudoexfoliation or Marfan-syndrome can lead to unstable lens support- this can be detected if there are advanced stability issues. However, small instability in the eye's would not be detected with present descriptive methods. The authors have designed a high-speed camera which is able to detect stability of the lens, especially during eye movements. The high-speed camera can detect variation in the change of light reflex from the lens and calculate the amount of lens instability/oscillation. The results (in normal eyes) of this high-speed camera has already been published in a peer-review journal. It is non-contact and measures lens movement. The test lasts less than 5 minutes. Further research is required to assess the amount of lens oscillation (wobbling) in different eye populations - patients with previous cataract surgery (an artificial implant is used to replace the lens) or eye conditions (such as pseudoexfoliation, Marfan syndrome). The amount of lens stability has a role in the planning of further intraocular surgery - especially cataract extraction - however, at present, there is no approved quantitative measurement for this. Participants will be recruited through Anglia Ruskin University (educational establishment), local community groups, and through Southend University Hospital eye clinics (NHS organisation). Participants' data will remain anonymous.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is described as chronic pain in the low back and/or legs after a spinal procedure. It is estimated that %10 - 40 of the patients who had spinal surgery will have Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The aim of this study is to research whether intradermal injection of the local anesthetic on the operation scar area and the area in which pain referred to in patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome has effects on pain and functionality or not.
Transition from paediatric to adult endocrinology is a challenge for adolescents, families and doctors. Up to 25% of young adults with chronic endocrine disorders are lost to follow-up ('drop-out') once the young adult moves out of paediatric care. Non-attendance and sub-optimal medical self-management can lead to serious and expensive medical complications. In a pilot study, adolescents suggested the use of e-technology to become more involved in the transition process. The investigators have designed and developed the YESS! game, a tool to help improve medical self-management in adolescents with chronic endocrine disorders. The hypothesis is that adolescents playing the YESS! game will show a larger increase in self-management score during the first year of transition and will have a lower drop-out rate at the adult endocrine outpatient clinic (OPC), compared to adolescents who do not play the game.
The primary goal of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of RPH-104 in subjects with Schnitzler Syndrome using Schnitzler Disease Activity Score (SDAS), which includes the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and the local laboratory C-reactive protein (CRP) result
The aim of this study will be to assess the better fraction inspired oxygen (FiO2) threshold for the surfactant treatment in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) randomized to receive exogenous surfactant at 25% or 35% of FiO2 threshold. The pulmonary gas-exchanges will be evaluated by oxygen saturation (SpO2) to FiO2 ratio (SFR) and will be used to define the better FiO2 threshold for the surfactant treatment.
