Filter by:Different forms of diet, e.g. Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, or fasting, have demonstrated efficacy in reducing elevated blood pressure. Moreover, Mediterranean diet, and fasting seem to be effective in improving insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes. Further, studies on meditation or mindfulness-based interventions have shown positive effects in patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes. Comprehensive Lifestyle Modification, this is a combination of diet, exercise, and stress management, have improved coronary atherosclerosis. However, no studies have yet investigated the effects of Comprehensive Lifestyle Modification in patients with metabolic syndrome and/or in combination with fasting therapy. This study is supported by a grant from the Corona-Foundation, Germany.
Comparison of two antiplatelet strategies between months 1 and 12 after coronary stenting for ACS. Efficiency and tolerance évaluation
This research study was done to see what the effects are of Teduglutide on people with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Teduglutide is a synthetic medication administered as an injection, which has shown to increase intestinal blood flow, inhibit gastric secretion, increase growth of intestinal cells and increase absorption of nutrients. Teduglutide has demonstrated to decrease Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) requirements by 20%. Teduglutide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) who are dependent on parenteral support. The primary hypotheses for this study were 1) that Teduglutide significantly increases the gastric emptying half time of solids when compared to placebo. 2) Teduglutide will significantly decrease the intestinal permeability and urinary excretion of lactulose when compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of performing a larger multicenter phase III trial to assess the effects of unfractionated heparin (UFH) in acute chest syndrome (ACS). Prespecified feasibility criteria consists of the ability to enroll potential study participants, which includes the timely notification of hospitalized patients with ACS, the capacity to consent eligible individuals, and the ability to appropriately randomize eligible patients within 24 hours of diagnosis. Additional feasibility objectives involve ensuring appropriate eligibility criteria, proper administration of the study drug, and the ability to completely and accurately collect clinical data of interest. The final aim of our pilot study is to provide preliminary data, with respect to treatment effect and variance, to allow sample size calculation in a larger trial given the lack of data available to help guide this process. The investigators hypothesize that the use of UFH in ACS will result in a decrease in the duration of hospitalization and improve other clinical outcomes, such as the duration of hypoxemia and duration of moderate to severe pain.
This was a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of Allogeneic Bone Marrow-derived Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSCs) infusion in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous clopidogrel dose adjustment targeted after platelet function testing improves outcomes during 12 months of follow-up in acute coronary syndrome patients treated with coronary artery stenting and with determined high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Asian/KOREAn patients with acute coronary syndromes intended for invasive management.
Objectives: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a medically unexplained condition characterized by severe and disabling fatigue. To date much research has focused on finding out whether CFS is caused by mainly physical or psychological factors. Perhaps as a result of this, few studies have examined the relationship between CFS and quality of life, in particular, more positive aspects of mental health, such as an individual's sense of purpose, autonomy and close relationships. This study will address these limitations by examining Ryff's (1989) six domains of psychological well-being (PWB), and other aspects of well-being including positive emotions, in CFS. It will also examine the relationship between measures of symptomology, emotional distress and PWB. Method: This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study with a clinical sample of adults with CFS. Participants will complete valid measures of well-being and symptomology. Results: We expect to find that compared to general population norms, individuals with CFS score lower on measures of PWB. Secondly, we expect PWB dimensions will be related to symptom measures. There are however, no grounds for making strong predictions. Implications: This study will advance our understanding of quality of life in CFS. Clinically, it has the potential to enrich and inform therapeutic interventions.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether epidural and ketamine infusions are effective in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
The purpose of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative study and open-label extension study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of E2020 in subjects with Down syndrome having regression symptoms and disabled activities of daily living.
