Filter by:Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Ningmitai capsule alone or in combination with sildenafil compared with sildenafil alone in the treatment of CP/CPPS with erectile dysfunction. Study Design: A multicenter, prospective, randomized and positive drug-controlled clinical study design was adopted.

This phase II trial evaluates how a curcumin supplement (C3 complex/Bioperine) changes the inflammatory response and symptomatology in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Chronic inflammation drives disease development and contributes to symptoms experienced by patients with CCUS, LR-MDS, and MPN. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and has been studied in various chronic illnesses and hematologic diseases.
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a salvage treatment for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). With the large-scale implementation of VV-ECMO in critical care medicine departments in China, significant progress has been made in treating severe ARDS. However, the patient mortality rate remains high. The pathophysiological essence of ARDS is an imbalance between the body's oxygen supply and demand, causing tissue and cell hypoxia, organ dysfunction, and even death. The VV-ECMO treatment process still requires mechanical ventilation assistance. However, inappropriate mechanical ventilation settings can lead to ventilator-related lung injury (VILI). In recent years, mechanical power has gradually attracted everyone's attention and is considered the cause of VILI. The transpulmonary mechanical power is more accurate to the energy directly performed to the lung tissue. Transpulmonary mechanical energy has a specific value in judging the prognosis of mechanically ventilated patients, but its clinical significance in treating patients with VV-ECMO is unclear. This study aimed to explore the value of transpulmonary mechanical power in predicting the prognosis of patients with severe ARDS patients treated with VV-ECMO.
The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, which include abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure. MS is a global health problem, it represents a risk factor for the progression of cardiovascular disease, which constitute the main cause of mortality in the world and in Mexico. The current treatment involves lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment for each of the components of MS, however, there is no single approved treatment to control all components. Celery seed (Apium graveolens L.) from the Apiaceae family contains the flavonoids apigenin and luteolin; essential oils such as d-limonene, selinene and phthalides such as 3-n-butylphthalide. Thanks to its bioactive components, celery seed has proven to be effective in treating individual MS disorders; however, most studies are in animal models and there are no clinical studies that evaluate its effectiveness on all components of the system. MS, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion so it could appear as a new, safe and effective complementary therapy for the treatment of MS. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of celery seed on the components of metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretion.
ARDS is an acutely induced respiratory failure characterized by the appearance of bilateral alveolar opacities on imaging and hypoxemia Etiologies are divided into two classes: pulmonary, including all infectious pathologies, aspiration pneumonia, and drowning, and extra-pulmonary, induced by sepsis or acute pancreatitis. The mortality rate of ARDS remains high in unselected patient populations Among strategies that have proven beneficial in terms of patient outcome, prone positioning (PP) is associated with the greatest impact in terms of reduction in mortality. PP is currently recommended in the European guidelines for ARDS associated with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 150 mmHg in patients in whom ventilatory settings have been optimized beforehand, The failure of early PP studies to demonstrate a survival benefit in ARDS was attributed to insufficient session duration. The PROSEVA study was the first to demonstrate that a PP duration of 17 h is associated with a reduction in mortality During the COVID-19 pandemic, several centers have reported the implementation of longer PP sessions. Two strategies have emerged from these studies. In one case, the patient was left in the prone position until the criteria for stopping PP were met. Thus, the PP/supine position alternation was completely suppressed. In another published strategy, PP sessions were maintained for a period covering two nights. Furthermore, in a multicenter retrospective study, PP sessions were maintained until clinical improvement was associated with reduced mortality. In this study of 263 patients, the median duration of PP in the extended duration group was 40 h, and 75% of the sessions lasted 48 h or less. Using a propensity score, the authors showed that patients treated with an extended PP duration had a lower 3-month mortality rate than patients in the standard duration group . This protocol was also associated with a 29% cumulative incidence of pressure sores, similar to the 25% cumulative incidence reported in the PROSEVA study Other data published on pressure sores and PP of duration > 24 hours are also reassuring. Finally, a recent review recently reported that an extended PP session of > 24 h had also been used before the COVID-19 pandemic. PP sessions had a median duration of 47-78 hours and were applied mainly to ARDS secondary to community-acquired pneumonia. All pre-COVID studies were retrospective, monocentric, without a control group.
To realize a sleep phenotyping in a population with Down syndrome, its determinants, and the consequences of these disorders, with a specific focus on sleep apnea syndrome.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to metabolic syndrome (MS) as unique risk factor is gradually overpassing the more common viral and alcohol etiology, becoming a global health issue. Liver surgery for metabolic syndrome-related HCC in this frail subset of patients constitute a challenge, due to high morbidity and mortality rate reported in literature, and contrasting results in term of oncologic outcome. The present multicentric prospective study aims to ascertain if the combination of sleeve gastrectomy and liver surgery in the same surgical procedure may have benefit in terms of reduced perioperative morbidity and prolonged Overall Survival and Recurrence Free Survival. Secondary outcome will be the evaluation of the consequences induced by sleeve gastrectomy on liver disease, in particular liver fibrosis evaluated in term of NFS score (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis score), FIB-4 (Fibrosis-4 Index for Liver Fibrosis) score and Fibroscan transient elastography.
Patients presented with symptoms of numbness at night, pain, or tingling sensation in the fingers particularly at night diagnosed by consultant orthopedic surgeon on physical examination. Patients in Group A were treated conservatively i.e splinting in neutral position of wrist for 6 wks min at night and during the day as preferred while patients in Group B were managed through surgical intervention i.e open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). Patients were assessed during a follow up visit at 3rd month measured using functional status scale of the Boston questionnaire (BQ). Efficacy was determined in terms of functional improvement from the baseline.
