Filter by:It is a randomized clinical trial comparing two treatments in patients affected by the patellofemoral syndrome (PFS). Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of inclusion of trigger point dry needling into the management of idividuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
This is a double blind randomised placebo-controlled study involving women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The patients will be randomised either to Vitamin D 3200 IU or placebo for three months. The main hypothesis of this study is "Vitamin D improves hormonal, metabolic and cardiovascular risk markers in women with PCOS".
This study aims to evaluate whether, in a standardised cohort of patients with mild to moderate PTS, monitored for a sufficiently long follow-up period, quality of life measured by generic instruments and disease-specific instruments evolves favourably in this patient profile. Study objective: to evaluate the evolution of quality of life in general and in the specific context of the disease of patients who have experienced an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), are affected by post-thrombotic syndrome, are subject to compression therapy and receive an additional standard venoactive agent (sulodexide 15 mg twice daily during 6 months).
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how patients with Tourette Syndrome deal with sensory stimuli in their environment such as bright lights, loud noises, physical sensations such as shirt tags, etcetera. We will compare responses of patients with Tourette Syndrome to those without Tourette Syndrome. The study aims to better characterize sensory processing abnormalities by sensory modality: The investigators will use a measuring tool based on Dunn's 1997 model of sensory processing, the Sensory Profile, which will allow the investigator to characterize both registration and response to external stimuli, as well as to delineate which sensory modalities are affected. Identifying which sensory modalities are most affected may guide future research into the pathophysiology of sensory processing abnormalities in TS. The investigators also aim to correlate sensory processing abnormalities with the presence of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , and autism spectrum disorders.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane postconditioning on the incidence of postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome following revascularization surgery in moyamoya patients.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b study of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1] monoclonal antibody) in participants who have hypomethylating agent (HMA)-naïve myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and are International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate/high/very high-risk, or have MDS relapsed or are refractory (R/R) to prior HMA therapy. The primary objectives of this study are to determine the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab therapy in these participant populations, including treatment in combination with azacitidine.
This phase I trial studies the safety of transplantation with a haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell graft depleted of TCRαβ+ cells and CD19+ cells in conjunction with the immunomodulating drug, Zoledronate, given in the post-transplant period to treat pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies or high risk solid tumors.
It is the hypothesis of this project that the Mesenteric Traction Syndrome (MTS) is a common event during upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery (UGC surgery) and that the induction of the syndrome is an important factor in provoking further peri- and postoperative complications and in worsening the surgical stress response (SSR). The characteristics of MTS is hypotension, tachycardia, and flushing. In order to uncover the role of MTS in cancer surgery and the effects on the oncological patients, the aim of the project is: 1. To characterize MTS in patients undergoing three common forms of UGC surgery using a new objective methodology and by recording biomarkers suspected of playing a role in the pathophysiology of MTS and postoperative complication development. Three different interventions will be examined during this prospective trial: 1. Continuous measurement of microcirculation on the forehead using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging during surgery. 2. Analyses of plasma samples obtained pre-, intra-, and one day postoperatively. 3. Continuous measurements of haemodynamic variables during surgery.
This project focuses on an at-risk adolescent and young adult population who may gain long-term health benefits from detection of risk factors at a young age. The primary aims of this proposal are: 1) To observe whether adolescents and young adults with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are more likely to have elevated liver fat (>/=4.8%) than controls by studying liver fat deposition measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS); 2) To assess the association of percentage liver fat with biomarkers of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and body composition in PCOS and controls. In the proposed study, 40 adolescents and young adults with PCOS and 40 age-comparable control subjects will be evaluated for metabolic disturbances and elevated liver fat using noninvasive and state-of-the-art techniques including MRI, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and an oral glucose tolerance test in order to fully assess the metabolic and body composition differences between these groups. This research proposal represents a critical step in understanding the metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities of PCOS and their relationship to NAFLD. The investigator hopes to use the results generated by this research proposal in order to lay the groundwork for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders in adolescents with PCOS. The overarching goal is to decrease and prevent lifelong morbidity associated with this common disorder.
