Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
Klinefelter syndrome KS is caused by an additional X chromosome in males (47,XXY). Clinical findings are nonspecific during childhood; thus, the diagnosis commonly is made during adolescence or adulthood in males who have small testes with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and gynecomastia. Virtually all men with Klinefelter syndrome are infertile. Approximately one in 1,000 boys is born with an additional X chromosome—47,XXY, the karyotype that causes Klinefelter syndrome. This karyotype is detected at or before birth in 10 percent of affected boys, and it is found during adulthood in 25 percent of affected men. Almost all men with a 47,XXY karyotype will be infertile; Klinefelter syndrome accounts for 3 percent of male infertility. Klinefelter syndrome is common in infertile men with oligospermia or azoospermia (5 to 10 percent). Infertility in men with Klinefelter syndrome is caused by a precipitous drop in sperm count. If sperm are present, cryopreservation is useful for future family planning with intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and if not, testicular sperm extraction may be pursued. Although there have been multiple reports of successful fertilization by men with Klinefelter syndrome. Mesenchymal stem cell injection in testicular tubules and intra testicular artery using surgical microscope. The period for follow up last from three months to twelve months including semen analysis to detect sperm and hormonal profile .
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have driven a paradigm shift in the modeling of human disease; the ability to reprogram patient-specific cells holds the promise of an enhanced understanding of disease mechanisms and phenotypic variability, with applications in personalized predictive pharmacology/toxicology, cell therapy and regenerative medicine. This research will collect blood or skin biopsies from patients and healthy controls for the purpose of generating cell and tissue models of Mendelian heritable forms of heart disease focusing on cardiomyopathies, channelopathies and neuromuscular diseases. Cardiomyocytes derived from hiPSCs will provide a ready source of disease specific cells to study pathogenesis and therapeutics.
This extension study will allow participants that completed Study HGT-HIT-094 to continue receiving Elaprase treatment in conjunction with idursulfase IT or to continue receiving Elaprase treatment and begin concurrent IT treatment for those that did not receive idursulfase IT treatment in Study HGT-HIT-094.
The purpose of this project is to test a new, very compact, 12-lead ECG device as a way to detect long QT syndrome (LQTS) in infants. The device -- called QTScreen -- was developed in Phase I of this project. In Phase II, the goals are to test the capacity of the device for LQTS screening in newborns and to obtain prevalence data on LQTS in California. The 4 main objectives are: 1. To validate the capacity of QTScreen for LQTS screening in newborns. 2. To determine the extent to which parents are able to use QTScreen on their babies at home. 3. To survey end-user experience and opinions. 4. To estimate the LQTS prevalence in California.
This is a safety and efficacy study of LiRIS® in females with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.
Obesity is currently one of the most serious public health problems. Its prevalence is increasing sharply in recent decades, even in developing countries, leading to global epidemiology condition. Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of an association of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension in the same patient. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition in more than 60% patients with MS. It is still controversial in the world scientific literature whether treatment of OSA with Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in severely obese patients with and without MS is effective. The NPPV effectively reverses hypoxemia in patients with OSA, therefore justified the hypothesis that NPPV will reduce insulin resistance, ghrelin and resistin and raise adiponectin levels in a group of severely obese individuals with and without MS undergoing bariatric surgery. Objectives: To investigate the effects of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on inflammatory markers, sleep, pulmonary function, BMI reduction and health related quality of life in severe obese patients with and without metabolic syndrome undergone to bariatric surgery.
This research study in infant males with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) will learn more about body composition (muscle and fat) and male hormones and look at the effect of testosterone shots on body composition. The Investigators know that older boys and men with Klinefelter syndrome often have more fat compared to muscle than adults without Klinefelter syndrome, but we do not know if this difference is present at birth or develops over time. The Investigators will learn if body composition and motor skills are improved with testosterone treatment in infants with Klinefelter syndrome.
The TREASURE observational study is designed to address the need to understand the usage pattern of Ticagrelor in real life scenario in large number of ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) patients in India. The aim of this national study is to understand the usage pattern (including the duration of treatment) of Ticagrelor in various ACS patient population undergoing PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) or medical management in a real-life setting in India.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent chronic sleep disorder that affects 3% to 7% in middle aged individuals and increases with age. OSA has been identified as the most common secondary cause associated with resistant hypertension. There is evidence that compared with older patients, the risk of hypertension in OSA patients may be particularly pronounced in younger adult ones (less than 50 years). Traditionally, cardiovascular risk stratification in hypertensive patients was based on the average blood pressure (BP) measured in the clinic. Accumulated data has shown that target-organ damage is related not only to 24-h mean intra-arterial BP, but also to BP variability (BPV) in subjects with essential hypertension. Growing evidence demonstrated that BPV has considerable prognostic value for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, independent of average BP. In addition, it has been found that hypoxia condition in pneumoconiosis patients was closely associated with exaggerated BPV in ambulatory BP. However, the selections of antihypertensive drugs remain yet not very clearly for hypertensive patients combined with OSA.
