Filter by:This is a prospective randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 6 months' duration evaluating the effect of fenofibrate (200 mg/day) in females with polycystic ovary syndrome and mild hypertriglyceridemia. The investigators primary objective will be to determine whether fenofibrate will reduce hepatic adiposity as measured using MRI, and our secondary outcomes will be to delineate the impact of fenofibrate on biochemical or clinical parameters for insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive status.
Evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of an octreotide implant for the treatment of the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) are medical conditions that occur when there is severe inflammation and increased fluids in both lungs, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly. Hospital treatment for a person with ALI/ARDS often includes the use of a breathing machine, or ventilator, until the person is able to breathe without assistance. Initiating proper nutrition through a feeding tube early in a person's hospital stay may help to improve recovery, but the optimal timing, composition, and amount of feeding treatments remain unknown. This study will evaluate whether early or delayed full-calorie feeding through a feeding tube is more effective in reducing recovery time and increasing survival rates in people with ALI/ARDS.
The objective of this study is as follows: - Perform genetic analysis to define the prevalence of each of the known gene mutations in an unselected cohort of patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) - Perform a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular status to determine the incidence of any cardiac abnormalities in patients with FSGS - Determine if patients with mutations in specific proteins are more likely to have cardiovascular abnormalities - Initiate long-term follow up in all patients to determine whether cardiac prognosis is related to any specific genetic abnormality
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) became an important and prevalent illness in recent years. The population occidental becomes fat each time, and this symptom is associated the biggest risk for the OSAS. Snore presence is extremely associated with OSAS. Snoring is present in about 90 - 95% of the patients with OSAS. Objectives: Evaluate the influence in the Stanford classification as predictor factor of gravity of the OSAS. Materials and Methods: They evaluated and classified 107 patients, Classification of Mallampati, Friedman, Classification of Stanford and how much the gravity of the OSAS for the AIH.
Introduction: OSAS is an important disease in the actual medic scene. It is important for correlation with chronic cardiovascular disease that leaves an increase in morbimortality and socioeconomic disability to patients with apnea. Objectives: Determinate the correlation between Friedman Classification and the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) gravity through AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) in patients with OSAS for surgical indication and evaluation. Materials and Methods: The investigators evaluated and classified 84 patients, in the scale of Epworth, Friedman and how much the gravity of the SAHOS for the AHI.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of anti-idursulfase antibodies on idursulfase safety (measured by infusion related adverse events) between patients who develop anti-idursulfase antibodies and patients who do not after long-term idursulfase enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine (decitabine) given in combination with Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) can help to control Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or Myelofibrosis (MF). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may experience abdominal pain as a result of pain signals in the bowel and how these signals are processed in the brain. Studies using brain imaging (pictures) have shown that IBS patients with more pain diagnoses (i.e. fibromyalgia, migraines, etc.) have greater activity in the regions of the brain responsible for the emotional and thought processing of pain signals. This could possibly make bowel sensations and bowel difficulties feel abnormal or more noticeable, in turn causing more severe IBS symptoms. The purpose of this protocol is to explore the role of pain diagnoses and their affect on brain activity in IBS patients. The investigators will also examine the use of a medication, desipramine, which is known to affect these brain regions, in IBS patients.
This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind, multi-center, Phase II clinical study to test the safety and efficacy of a recombinant chimeric anti-tissue factor antibody (ALT-836) versus placebo in patients with sepsis and acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). This study was divided into two parts and the first part of the study has been completed. In the first part of the study, sixty patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive one dose of the study drug or placebo. In the second part of the study, ninety patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive a multi-dose treatment regimen of single doses every 72 hours up to a maximum of 4 doses of the study drug or placebo, provided there are no safety concerns.
