Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of donepezil hydrochloride (Aricept) in the treatment of the cognitive dysfunction shown by children with Down syndrome, aged 11 to 17.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of donepezil hydrochloride (Aricept) in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction shown by children with Down syndrome, aged 6 to 10 years.
This study will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral clofarabine when administered daily for 14 consecutive days repeated every 21 days.
The metabolic syndrome represents a constellation of risk factors associated to the abdominal obesity that includes insulin resistance, lipids alterations, high blood pressure etc. Several studies support the hypothesis that the intake of soluble fiber might have a positive effect in the improvement of such of these risk factors. So that, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Ispaghula husk in the remission of metabolic syndrome in children between 10 to 16 years old.
Evaluating the efficacy of a video about FAS to determine whether it has an impact on knowledge about FAS and their likelihood to participate in risk taking behavior.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Mosapride, an agent which acts on serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, is effective in the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (C-IBS).
From 1999, several studies have showed that the use of vasoconstrictors in association with albumin are effective in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). The rationale of the use of vasoconstrictors together with albumin in the treatment of this severe complication of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is to correct the reduction of the effective circulating volume due to the splanchnic arterial vasodilatation.In most of these studies terlipressin, a derivate of vasopressin, has been used as vasoconstrictor as intravenous boluses moving from an initial dose of 0.5-1 mg/4 hr. In some studies midodrine, an alpha-adrenergic agonist, given by mouth has been used as vasoconstrictor at a dose ranging from 2.5 up to 12.5 tid together with octreotide, an inhibitor of the release of glucagon, given subcutaneously at a dose ranging from 10 µg upt to 200 µg tid. To the day, there isn't a study comparing terlipressin + albumin versus midodrine + octreotide + albumin in the treatment of HRS in patients with cirrhosis.Thus, the aim of the study is to compare terlipressin + albumin vs midodrine + octreotide + albumin in the treatment of the HRS in patients with cirrhosis.
Treatment for 3.5-8 weeks with GH (0.05 mg/kg/day) +GLN+Diet, followed by continued compliance to the individualized oral diet and enteral GLN, will result in reduced volume of TPN infusion/week and/or reduced frequency of TPN infusions/week.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of atrial fibrillation ablation in patients presenting a brady-tachy syndrome on the AF burden. The hypothesis of the study is that AF ablation prevents not only from AF episodes recurrence but also from bradycardic episodes.
This Study will look at the effect of substances called "angiogenic factors"(development of new blood vessels) have on the development of severe liver disease. The results may help to understand the factors involved in the repair and regeneration of liver tissue and to see if different types of liver disease are associated with different types of factors, especially in the severe liver disease called hepatorenal syndrome.
