Filter by:REWINDER is a multinational, multicentre, non-interventional, retrospective study of patients treated with an oral antiplatelet (ticagrelor, prasugrel or clopidogrel) while in hospital after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event, to be conducted in Belgium and Luxembourg. Primary objective is to evaluate the actual treatment persistence with oral antiplatelets (OAP) after an ACS in the clinical practice in Belgium and Luxembourg. The main secondary objectives are to describe the most frequent reasons for OAP treatment switch, discontinuation or reinitiation; to identify the decisionmakers in the OAP treatment changes and to characterize the patient profile in terms of demographics, diagnosis, management strategies, comorbidities and concomitant medications to identify any association between patient profile and treatment duration.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a syndrome which includes elevated androgen levels, irregular menstrual cycles and insulin resistance. Standard treatments, which include weight loss and medications to improve insulin secretion are only partly successful, and may require that young women take medications for decades. The study investigators have been evaluating the effects of specific diets on insulin resistance in healthy volunteers and subjects with type 2 diabetes, and have found that subjects with insulin resistance seem to respond particularly well to these diet regimens. Volunteers with PCOS are being asked to participate to see if following these diets can help regularize your menstrual cycles. The results of this study may help improve fertility treatments for women with PCOS.
Our study is observational, we are observing data from routine measurements during IVF/ICSI. Our study does not assess IVF/ICSI as an intervention, we are evaluating the role of FSI and preovulatory count which are calculated by observing routine measurements during the IVF/ICSI procedure. 300 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who are decided to be treated with ICSI. will be subjected to full history taking and clinical examination. On the second day of menstruation serum FSH, LH, Prolactin and Oestradiol will be assessed and the antral follicular count (AFC) will be assessed using a vaginal ultrasound scan. AFC will be defined as the number of follicles measuring 3-10mm. All patients will have standard pituitary down-regulation followed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulation until the day of Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration. On the day of HCG administration, ovarian ultrasound scan will be performed using a transvaginal probe and the Preovulatory follicle count (PC) will be assessed, (PFC) is defined as number of follicles measuring≥16mm. Follicular output rate (FORT) will be calculated as: (FSI =PFC*10000/AFC*Total dose of FSH). FORT correlation to pregnancy will be compared to that of the preovulatory count number
Primary: The primary objective of this study under the original protocol was to provide neuromuscular specialists and neurologists access to amifampridine phosphate therapy for their patients with LEMS, CMS or downbeat nystagmus until the product became commercially available. Secondary: The secondary objective of this study under the original protocol was to provide additional long-term safety data on amifampridine phosphate in patients. Primary The primary objective of this study after its fifth amendment was to provide access to amifampridine phosphate therapy to pediatric patients with LEMS, and pediatric and adult patients with CMS until the product became commercially available for these indications or development of the product for the indication was terminated. Secondary: The secondary objective of this study after its fifth amendment was to assess the long-term safety of amifampridine phosphate in pediatric patients with LEMS, and pediatric and adult patients with CMS.
The patients having a syndrome SII would be more intolerant in the fructose than the healthy subjects and would benefit from a fructose diet but also from the fructans which contain some fructose. The intolerance in the fructose is diagnosed thanks to a respiratory test after absorption of fructose. However, the eviction of the fructose is sometimes recommended to the patients without having realized beforehand the test of intolerance.
To investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of clobazam when administered for 1 year as adjunctive therapy in paediatric patients aged ≥1 to ≤16 years with Dravet Syndrome.
Our intervention will be the injection of Abobotulinum toxin A into the affected site/vocal cords for patients with the diagnosis of Primary Tourette's syndrome. This is an efficacy trial to understand the right dosage of Abobotulinum toxin A which can be affective. The study will involve an injection of 2.5 units of Dysport on each side of the affected vocal cords for patients with a diagnosis of Primary Tourette's syndrome. The patients will also complete a self assessment survey on how vocal tics affect their daily lives. Afterward, a further evaluation of the tics will be conducted by the investigator using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale. (YGTSS) evaluation. How this will be done is by a licensed ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) physician. The windpipe will be number by a 2% lidocaine followed by a provoked cough by the patient. This will allow the lidocaine to be sprayed throughout the airway preventing coughing and swallowing during the procedure. An Electromyography (EMG) guidance a needle containing Dysport will be injected into the thyroarytenoid muscles will potentially reduce the vocal dyskinetic features in patients with TS. This needle will be connected to a syringe and once determined active, it will be placed appropriately when the EMG emits a characteristic sound. If this does not occur with the patient then the injection will be administered under direct vision via direct laryngoscopy using an orotracheal injector system. This procedure is conducted in an outpatient clinic because no hospitalization is required. The patient is not allowed to consume food or drink for about 45-60 minutes after the injection. The throat will be numb and may cause coughing and some blood tinged sputum: The expectancy of this outcome is reason to not consider is a serious event. Asprin and ibuprofen is not allowed a week prior to and until the injection at least 3-4 days after to prevent excessive bleeding. The patient is also instructed to ensure that they chew their food thoroughly and drink sufficient water for the initial days after the study intervention. Mild dysphasia may be noted initially which should resolve within a few hours. On Visit 1, the patient will complete all required study documents and forms. Then the ENT physician will proceed with the injection Dysport on the same day. If unforeseen circumstances render the subject unable to be injected on the same day, the intervention must take place within three days and this will be considered V1, follow up events should be scheduled accordingly.
Acute and chronic pulmonary complications with concomitant inflammatory response are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Acute chest syndrome (ACS), defined broadly as an increase in respiratory effort, fever and new radiodensity on chest x-ray, is a major cause of death in children and adults with SCD. There is a high rate of ACS in children between 1 and 4 years of age that is associated with an asthma diagnosis, and children with ACS events before 4 years of age have a 50% rate of being hospitalized for either ACS or pain within 1 year of admission. For children with SCD that develop ACS, the investigators propose that the use of budesonide inhalation suspension (BIS) will attenuate pulmonary inflammation after an ACS episode and will decrease future vaso-occlusive pain and ACS episodes. Through a single-arm prospective feasibility trial and in preparation for a limited-institution randomized trial, the investigators plan to test the following primary hypothesis for a phase III definitive trial: In children with SCD admitted to the hospital for an ACS episode between 1 and 4 years of age, low dose BIS for 6 months will result in a 50% reduction in the recurrent incidence rate of ACS or pain requiring hospitalization. Through this trial, the investigators will determine the acceptability of and adherence to BIS in the study population. The investigators will track respiratory symptoms in cases versus controls over 6 months. Finally, the investigators will explore the impact of BIS on biological correlates (sVCAM-1).
The primary objective of the clinical trial portion of this study is to assess whether an individualized dietary plan based on a commercial food sensitivity assay provides specific benefit in a randomized controlled trial in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The whole blood Thrombelastograph (TEG®) Platelet Mapping™ assay measures clot strength, maximal amplitude (MA), reflecting maximal platelet function, and detects the reduction in platelet function, presented as percentage inhibition, by both aspirin and clopidogrel. A study reported that the TEG® can be used as routine monitoring of the variability in ADP receptor inhibition and of antiplatelet therapy. Therefore, using TEG Platelet Mapping assay, we could find out the perioperative clopidogrel responsiveness of the patients with ACS undergoing OPCAB. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the rate of the major adverse cardiac events (MACE, a combined endpoint of MI, revascularization and cardiac death) is higher in the patients with high degree of clopidogrel resistance, who are scheduled to undergo the OPCAB due to ACS.
