Filter by:The general purpose of the present pathophysiological study is to investigate the relation between cognitive impairment observed after an acute coronary syndrome and the presence of cerebral anatomo-functional abnormalities. This study will improve the investigators' understanding of the disease and will help in early diagnosis and prevention of vascular dementia in this population.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, clinical findings and electrophysiological examination. Several conservative and surgical treatment options have been described. Studies of surgical versus conservative treatment in mild carpal tunnel syndrome have not been done and it is still unclear whether or not surgical treatment is better than conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to research has surgery better outcome in mild CTS than conservative treatment. Patient satisfactory, clinical and electrophysiologic outcomes, direct and indirect costs will be evaluated.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether Viusid administration improves malnutrition, atherosclerosis, erythropoietin response and the frequency of infection episodes in subjects with Chronic Inflammatory Syndrome under hemodialysis treatment. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 60 weeks. All patients enrolled in the study will be receiving the standard treatment for Chronic Inflammatory Syndrome including hemodialysis and administration of a hypercaloric and hyperproteic diet. Efficacy assessment will be carried out 12 weeks after the end of Viusid or placebo treatment.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition characterised by abdominal pain or discomfort and altered bowel habit affecting up to 10% of the population. There are several groups of patients that are based on differing bowel patterns including IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) and those with post infective IBS (PI-IBS) whose symptoms begin after an acute infection. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used in bread making has been shown to reduce the duration of infectious diarrhoea. Part of the benefit maybe that it can destroy bacterial toxins. Recent studies suggest an increase in proteases (chemicals which breakdown proteins) in the stool of patients with IBS-D. The investigators think that this yeast may benefit patients with IBS-D and PI-IBS by reducing the amount of protease in stool. This is important because proteases have been shown to be potentially important in generating some of the discomfort experienced by patients. The investigators will study patients with chronic IBS-D who will receive 2 weeks treatment with the yeast or placebo followed by a 4 week gap and then a further 2 week treatment with placebo or the yeast, with the treatments allocated randomly. The investigators will also study 30 subjects who still have persistent loose bowel function 6 weeks after an infection with Campylobacter jejuni, one of the commonest causes of gastroenteritis in the UK. Subjects will be randomised to take either the yeast or placebo for 4 weeks . In both studies, the investigators will examine the effect of treatment on stool proteases, stool frequency and consistency and abdominal discomfort; the investigators will also take blood samples to examine some aspects of immune system function. The results of the study may suggest how yeast provides a benefit in patients with IBS and diarrhea and will provide data for a larger clinical trial.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, erlotinib has on the patient and their myelodysplastic syndrome. Erlotinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat non-small cell lung cancer; however, erlotinib use in this study is considered investigational as the FDA has not approved it for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome.
This study is being done to see if Lyrica helps people with irritable bowel syndrome.
A subset of patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome exhibit symptoms of neurally mediated hypotension. While the underlying pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome is not precisely understood, a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is thought to play a role in this subset of patients. In several small studies, subjects within this subset have noted improvement in their chronic fatigue symptoms when treated for their neurally mediated hypotension. As droxidopa acts on the autonomic nervous system and has been shown to ameliorate symptoms of neurally mediated hypotension, it is hypothesized that droxidopa could aid in the treatment of chronic fatigue symptoms. Neurally mediated hypotension has been associated with patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. Droxidopa meanwhile has been approved in Japan for the treatment of the symptoms of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. As such, it is hypothesized that regulating the autonomic nervous system in patients with Chronic fatigue syndrome may prove to be clinically beneficial.
As part of a palliative therapy concept, feasibility, toxicity, and effectiveness of treatment with the combination of Valproic acid and lenalidomide in Myelodysplastic Syndrome patients with a favorable risk profile will be investigated.
Five factor consisting of Metabolic syndrome is closely linked by insulin resistance. Until now, several studies have been performed about effects of Korea red ginseng on hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, but not metabolic syndrome. The investigators hypothesize that Korean red ginseng could improve each constituents of metabolic syndrome, arterial stiffness, and inflammatory markers. The aim of this study is to determine effects of Korean red ginseng on cardiovascular risks in subjects with metabolic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of sirolimus in the treatment of children and young adults with complicated vascular anomalies will prove to be safe and provide objective response resulting in improved clinical status and quality of life.
