The objectives of the study are: 1. Evaluation of the safety profile of imatinib mesylate in patients with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome resistant or refractory to, or intolerant of, prednisone, hydroxyurea or interferon-alpha, or untreated patients carrying the Fip1L1-PDGFRA fusion protein. 2. Evaluation of the efficacy of imatinib mesylate in patients with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome 3. Analysis of patient's blood samples for the detection of activated kinases.
Metabolic syndrome is commonly defined as a set of risk factors and abnormalities that markedly increase the risk of cardiovascular events. Its relevance has been confirmed by a recent population-based survey of subjects aged 40-79 years indicating that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Italy is 34.1% if diagnosed using WHO criteria and 17.8% if diagnosed using the NCEP-ATPIII criteria. On the basis of the above considerations, the aim of this study is to promote the use of the SCORE algorithm for estimating cardiovascular risk, and to evaluate its evolution in patients with metabolic syndrome after the implementation of a multifactorial preventive strategy, with particular reference to the correction of lifestyle, hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Evaluation of the effect of tegaserod treatment on small intestinal motility and flow pattern in female IBS-C patients.
The metabolic syndrome is a classification for patients with a constellation of risk factors which may include abdominal obesity, hypertension, elevated blood lipids and sugar. Three or more of these factors together constitute the metabolic syndrome and place these patients at a greater risk for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine whether two common drugs to lower blood pressure, whether used separately or in combination, have different effects on blood sugar levels in patients diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome.
This is a randomized controlled, parallel group, open label versus "no treatment" trial which evaluate the efficacy of rhGH on weaning off parenteral nutrition in children with short bowel syndrome.The total follow-up is 14 months; 4 months for each group after randomization; At the end of the first four months: the treated group will be followed within 6 months, the untreated group will receive compassionately rhGH for 4 months and followed-up for 6 months after the end of the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is 1) to determine whether a comprehensive self-management intervention is effective in a sample that includes men and women with irritable bowel syndrome, and 2) to determine whether the comprehensive self-management intervention is as effective when delivered over the telephone as compared to a face-to-face approach.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early mechanical ventilation can prevent hospital acquired pneumonia in adults with Guillain Barré Syndrome.
The goal of this study is to determine the genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We will first look for genes in the Icelandic population, where large family trees are known and it is easier to search for genes. We will then determine whether these same genes are important in U.S. PCOS patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide is a safe and effective treatment for complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS).
