Filter by:HARKIT I-Care is a mobile application developed by the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) to leverage patients in achieving their targets for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The application contains various features, including exercise tracking and reminder, medication reminder, and updated educational content on cardiovascular health. Additionally, patients can log and record their blood pressure, heart rate, smoking behavior, Quality of Life, and laboratory parameters such as blood sugar and cholesterol. Our research aims to investigate whether implementing this app in post-acute coronary syndrome patients could improve their survival rate, hospitalization rate, medication adherence, and Quality of Life, along with improving their laboratory parameters to be within desirable targets.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jing Fang Wu Mei Wan Jiawei Fang in the treatment of idiopathic blepharospasm using a clinical randomized controlled trial method.
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral taking of baclofen in therapeutic dosage for 60 days is equally effective as injection of botulinum toxin type "A" in the area of trigger points of the pelvic muscles.
The aim is to re-validate a FTIR spectroscopy test for measuring lung maturity/Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) before conducting a RCT using this test to guide surfactant treatment of preterm infants. The test has been validated previously (NCT03235882) but needs re-validation due to continued improvement in accuracy and since the test is now developed into a Point of Care test (POC-test). The purpose is to accurately predict RDS using Lecithin/Sphingomyelin ratio (L/S ratio determined by a rapid FTIR in a newly developed point of care test (POC-test) on fresh gastric aspirates using retrospective analysis. The FAST 2 Validation Study is a part of the FAST 2 Trial consisting of a validation study and a subsequent randomized clinical trial, that will be registered separately on clinicaltrials.gov (NTC XXXXXXXXX)
Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a growing health concern, with up to 25% of the worlds population having the syndrome. MetSyn is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes development, and is independently associated with all-cause mortality, making it an important disease target. The primary treatment for MetSyn is exercise and weight loss, along with medically necessary treatment. Exercise, along with dietary changes such as increased fiber and polyphenol intake can positively impact many of the metabolic abnormalities seen with MetSyn. For example, polyphenols have been shown to decrease lipid concentration and improved glucose clearance as well as decreased oxidative stress and inflammation. Powdered tart cherry capsules, which contain the skin of the fruit, provides polysaccharides (fiber) that would likely act as a substrate for gut bacteria degradation, providing energy substrates and barrier integrity to the colonocytes and increasing the bioavailability of the polyphenols to other cells in the body. However there have been no long-term investigations into the use of powdered tart cherry supplements in MetSyn, therefore we aim to determine if 60 days tart cherry supplementation modify criteria for MetSyn in currently diagnosed individuals including body mass, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipid levels and blood glucose control.
A phase 2a multi-center, open-label single dose level study of TPN-101 in Patients with Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) and the associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been spreading all around the world for past 3 years. Some of these convalescent individuals experienced long- term sequelae termed 'long COVID', or 'post- acute COVID-19 syndrome'(PACS). Common manifestations are systemic, neuropsychiatric, cardio- respiratory and gastrointestinal [1]. The prevalence of gastrointestinal PACS was 2-5% in different literatures [2][3]. The risk factors of gastrointestinal PACS include anosmia, ageusia, and presence of chronic bowel disease, dyspeptic symptoms and the psychological comorbidity [4]. Previous articles have discussed pathogenesis of PACS, which was associated with increasing serum cytokine level and persisted inflammatory status [5]. Whereas, the influence of chronic inflammation to target organ has not been well studied. Liu et al explored the gut microbiota dynamics in patients with PACS, which revealed higher levels of Ruminococcus gnavus, Bacteroides vulgatus and lower levels of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii [6]. Another article established the association between multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and zonulin-dependent loss of gut mucosal barrier [7]. According to previous studies, infectious enteritis may cause subsequent post infectious irritable bowel syndrome [8][9], which was associated with increased gut permeability, T-lymphocyte, Mast cell and proinflammatory cytokine [10][11]. It is reasonable that gastrointestinal PACS might be also associated with dysfunction of gut mucosal barrier. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a new endoscopic imaging tool that enables visualization of gut mucosa changes. The gut permeability could be accessed by CLE in patient with irritable bowel syndrome [12]. This study aimed to explore the association between gut permeability and gastrointestinal PACS.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of anakinra in dengue patients with hyperinflammation as compared to placebo Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Anakinra in moderate-severe dengue patients with hyperinflammation. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the safety of anakinra therapy in dengue with hyperinflammation - To assess the effect of anakinra therapy in patients with dengue on physiological, clinical and virological parameters - To assess the immunomodulation effects of anakinra in dengue - Immune cell signatures in dengue with and without anakinra - To assess difference in gene expression between treatment group compared to non-treatment population
The Eisenmenger syndrome corresponds to the most advanced form of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease. The syndrome causes chronic hypoxemia, with an increase in erythrocyte mass, which predisposes to thrombotic complications. Pentoxifylline is a xanthine derivative and it is considered as a hemorrheological agent with described effects of reduction in erythrocyte and platelet aggregation, adhesion and activation of leukocytes, and endothelial damage. The main objective of this study is to verify if the chronic oral administration of pentoxifylline to Eisenmenger patients induces an increase in the circulating levels of thrombomodulin, a naturally occurring proteoglycan with anticoagulant, anti thrombotic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Although new techniques like extracorporeal blood purification have lately emerged, septic patients still have very high hospital mortality rates. Sepsis can be induced by either viremia, bacteriemia or in some cases both. Many studies have reported the effectiveness of different hemadsorbers, but patient sample sizes have been inadequate for definitive conclusions. Secondly, there are still no clear inclusion criteria as well as criteria for when to cease hemadsorption mostly due to immune dysregulation or cascade coagulation disorders. The aim of this observational prospective registry is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of septic ICU patients and to evaluate which cluster of these patients should benefit most with this therapy.
