Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the quality of prehospital emergency care in acute coronary syndromes, when paramedics are supported telemedically by an EMS physician.
This study uses a drug called dasatinib to produce an anti-cancer effect called large granular lymphocyte cellular expansion. Large granular lymphocytes are blood cells known as natural killer cells that remove cancer cells. Researchers think that dasatinib may cause large granular lymphocyte expansion to happen in patients who have received a blood stem cell transplant (SCT) between 3 to 15 months after the SCT. In this research study, researchers want to find how well dasatinib can be tolerated, the best dose to take of dasatinib and how to estimate how often large granular lymphocytic cellular expansion happens at the best dose of dasatinib.
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, investigator-initiated, crossover study. Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) subjected to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), are randomized after informed consent, in a 1:1 ratio to either ticagrelor 90mg x2 or prasugrel 10mg x1 for 15 days. At Day 15± 2 days, coronary diastolic blood flow velocity in left anterior descending artery (LAD) is evaluated at baseline (bCBFV) and under 2 min adenosine infusions (maximal diastolic CBFV- maxCBFV) at gradually increasing doses of 50μg/kg/min, 80μg/kg/min, 110μg/kg/min and 140μg/kg/min with at least 5 min recovery intervals between infusions. A crossover directly to the alternate treatment is performed followed by the same evaluation at Day 30±2 days .
The purpose of this Registry is creating a database management that allows continuous monitoring characteristics, evolution, prognostic indicators and management of patients with ACS admitted in Portuguese Hospitals, and identify the appropriateness of clinical practice recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of ACS and monitor its evolution.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain. The primary aim of this study is to describe the soft tissue and bony structural ultrasound (US) findings identified in the lateral hip and iliotibial band (ITB) in patients presenting with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) in an outpatient rheumatology clinic.
The investigators hypothesize that reduced loading dose of prasugrel followed by reduced maintenance dose of prasugrel in acute coronary syndrome patients with CYP2C19 polymorphism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention might exhibit lower platelet reactivity 24 hours and 30 days later which is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events.
Overview of Methods: This is a double blind, randomized controlled trial with a non-balanced randomization and a cross-over to active treatment for placebo treated individuals who do not respond to the placebo treatment. Data collected will help determine the feasibility of the study design in primary care offices. Patient outcome data will provide a more precise estimate of power for a larger, classic randomized trial to determine if such a study can be reasonably undertaken within primary care practices. Aims: The aims of this pilot study are to: 1) Evaluate how well Genova Diagnostics (GDx) IBS tests can be integrated into primary care, 2) examine the effects of the Genova Diagnostics (GDx) test on treatment, and 3) observe and track patients' health, quality of life and clinical outcomes related to IBS during the study period.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of pinaverium and an herbal medication for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Pinaverium has been in many countries, but there is no randomized, double-blind, large sample size, and placebo-controlled study on this medication yet. Tong Xie Yao Fang (Formula for pain and diarrhea) is a historically and contemporarily used traditional Chinese medicine that can be used for IBS. The hypothesis is that the two remedies are effective and safe for IBS treatment when tested by modern clinical standards and criteria.
POEMS syndrome is a rare form of B cell dyscrasia combining a proliferation usually of plasma cells, a polyneuropathy, osteocondensing bone lesions and multiple other clinical signs. Lenalidomide appears to be particularly efficient in this pathology. The investigators propose a phase II multicentre protocol, based on the use of lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone in patients presenting a POEMS syndrome, either de novo or resistant or in relapse. Patients who can be treated by local radiation or intensive treatment with stem cell support will undergo 2 cycles of the lenalidomide-dexamethasone (Len-Dex) combination before radiation or intensive treatment (Group 1), the other patients will undergo 9 cycles of the Len-Dex combination (Group 2). A biological study is coupled with this clinical protocol in order to define the best biological markers predicting clinical responses, to better understand the POEMS pathophysiological mechanisms and to set up a bank of samples which can be used to study this rare pathology.
The results of studies conducted until now does not determine what the best way to treat infertility in the first line with patients with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study objective is to determine the best treatment for such patients. The long-term consequence health of women with PCOS are multiple. The woman with PCOS has a risk of developing metabolic diseases, heart diseases, diabetes Type II or anovulatory infertility. The insulin resistance plays an important role in all this medical condition. Clomiphene Citrate (CC) remains the first line treatment to induce ovulation in women with PCOS and anovulatory infertility.
