NCT ID: NCT06206928 Not yet recruiting - Cesarean Section Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Mitochondrial Enzyme Activity in Cesarean Section Patients

Start date: January 20, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The goal of this observational study is to learn about in effects of trace element metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme activities and thiol/disulfide balance in patients who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • What is the effect of trace element metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme activities and thiol/disulfide balance in patients undergoing cesarean section under regional anesthesia? A 10 ml blood sample will be taken from the participants to analyze the biochemical parameters mentioned before and after the operation. Pre- and post-operative values will be compared.

NCT ID: NCT03646019 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Serum Oxidative Status as a Potential Predictor of Coronary Artery Disease.

Start date: September 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death and disability in developed countries.Human studies revealed a significant association between serum oxidative status using PON1, TBARS and thiol levels and the presence of CAD and its severity. However, these studies were addressing the severity of CAD depending on coronary angiography of patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction, Non ST elevation myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, while part of them even had a history of CAD. Others where admitted for an elective coronary angiography for suspected stable CAD while only few patients were assessed for atypical chest pain. This study thus aims to assess the relationship between PON1 activity, TBARS and thiol levels and the existence of CAD and its severity in patients with no previous history of CAD presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain but with no evidence of acute myocardial infarction or acute E.C.G ischemic changes. Assessment with a Cardiac CT scan instead of coronary angiography will allow the investigators to study the status of coronary atherosclerosis and calcium burden in all participants, including those presenting with atypical chest pain that most probably will not be referred by physicians to a coronary angiography. Further sub groups analysis will estimate this relationship particularly in low-intermediate risk groups depending on 3 different validated scoring systems - TIMI, GRACE and HEART score.
