Filter by:This study aims to investigate the effect of early CTCA in patients with suspected or confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) or Medical Assessment Unit (MAU), upon interventions, event rates and health care costs in a pragmatic clinical trial and economic evaluation up to 1 year after the trial intervention. The primary objective will be to investigate the effect of the intervention on all-cause death or subsequent type 1 or type 4b MI at one year, measured as time to first such event.
It is recognized that inflammation can be modulated by cholinergic stimulation and that galantamine, an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase enzyme with central nervous system action, has showed an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing body weight, abdominal fat and improvement in tissue insulin resistance in animal models. Galantamine is a safe drug that is used to treat alzheimer disease.Galantamine treatments of patients with the metabolic syndrome may represent a significant advance in management of this disease. This study aims to investigate the effects of galantamine on inflammatory markers, as well as on abdominal visceral and epicardial fat and oxidative stress in patients with metabolic syndrome. This is a pioneering study that will include expert support. The enrolling of subjects will have continuous monitoring throughout the period of treatment. The study is a double blind randomized prospective study with 60 patients with metabolic syndrome, to be randomized at ratio of 1: 1 placebo and galantamine. The dose of galanthamine is the standard clinically approved (8 and 16 mg). The tracking method include metabolic analysis, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, hemodynamic evaluation with hear rate variability (sympatho vagal modulation) before, during and after treatment. Computerized tomography assessment of visceral abdominal and epicardial fat before and after treatment will be performed.
Non-myeloablative regimens (as the investigators use herein) are designed to maximally suppress the immune system without destruction of the bone marrow stem cell compartment. When using a non-myeloablative regimen recovery occurs without infusion of stem cells and the stem cells are autologous. While not necessary for recovery, stem cell infusion may shorten the interval of neutropenia and attendant complications. Thus in reality there is no transplant only an autologous supportive blood product. Based on our encouraging results of non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, for patients with multiple sclerosis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, the investigators will investigate the role of non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with SPS who require assistance to ambulate.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a bakery product enriched with dietary fibre and L-carnitine on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in overweight patients with or without metabolic syndrome.
Some patients experience high heart rates and symptoms of light-headedness, fatigue, headache during standing despite well maintained blood pressure. These patient are disabled and can't be in upright position for a longer time. The purpose of this study is to test whether electrical stimulation of a nerve through a skin of the ear may improve heart rate response and reduce disabling symptoms.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral azacitidne (CC-486) twice daily (BID) in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes who failed to achieve an objective response post injectable hypomethylating agent (iHMA) treatment Reason for removing the combination arm: Due to difficulties with dose-finding, the durvalumab plus CC-486 combination arm was closed to enrollment. Extension: An Extension Phase (EP) has been added to allow subjects who are currently receiving oral azacitidine BID and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the Investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine until the subject meets the criteria for study discontinuation.
The investigators wanted to elucidate the effects of metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by performing a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled cross-over study.
This registry is a prospective, non-interventional, post authorisation safety study for patients diagnosed with Transfusion Dependent, IPSS low or intermediate-1-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), associated to a single abnormality of the chromosome 5 [del(5q)]. The purpose of this study is to collect additional data about the safety of an oral drug (lenalidomide, Revlimid®) that may have been prescribed to relieve anemia and decrease the need of blood transfusions. However, also patients affected by the MDS del(5q) who receive other treatments different from lenalidomide can be included in this study, if they agree.
Randomised clinical trial with a 6-month follow-up in Mexican adult men and women (20-65 years) with Metabolic Syndrome (MS). The sample size was calculated using a formula that compares two means, an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 95%. Based on these calculations, we established a baseline sample of 118 adults. For the diagnosis of MS, we used the classification from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). 150 patients were screened; however, 32 were excluded because they did not meet the criteria. Doctors wrote down medical history; nutritionists conducted anthropometry (weight, height, and waist circumference); and nurses measured blood pressure and withdrew venous blood for determination of glucose, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol. After being randomly assigned to one of two groups, the control group received a diet with a lower protein content (0.8gr/kg body weight), and the intervention group received a diet with higher protein content (1.34gr/kg body weight). Both diets had equal amount of calories, were equivalent in the type of carbohydrate, and had a caloric restriction of 500 calories less. For the intervention group, meal replacements were made with soy protein, and individualized menus, controlling the content of calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat, had more control over the total amount of protein consumed daily. Used as a substitute for food, the protein-enriched drinks were prepared with 250ml of either milk with 1.5% fat or just water. For both groups, the calorie density of the diet was adjusted for the baseline metabolic rate of each participant with a restriction of 500kcal/day.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of combining a wrist orthosis with either ultrasound therapy or paraffin bath therapy in treating carpal tunnel syndrome patients.
