Filter by:This study began enrollment in 2003 with final report completed in October of 2015. This submission is being provided to acquire an NCT number. This study was successfully executed according to protocol with full enrollment and completion of 89.7% of subjects. Subjects were enrolled into a two arm study 1) Combined therapy (scaling and root planing plus Crest products) vs. 2) delayed treatment. Subjects were followed for 6 months and a wide and extensive battery of biological samples were collected to determine the effects of treatment on the local and systemic inflammatory response.
The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following non surgical periodontal treatment in patients affected by periodontitis and high blood pressure.
The aim of this study is to compare quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus full-mouth treatment (FM-SRP) in terms of acute-phase responses following no surgical periodontal treatment in obese patients affected by periodontitis.
Thirty-eight periodontitis- and diabetes-affected subjects will be randomly allocated to non surgical periodontal treatment with either Full-Mouth Approach (FM-SRP) or Quadrant approach (Q-SRP). Patients will be seen one day and three months (study completion) after treatment. The 24 hours appointment will be occurring after the entire completion of the FM-SRP or the first quadrant of the Q-SRP. In the latter group other sessions of treatment will be performed within the following 3 weeks. At baseline, 24 hours and three months, anthropometric, inflammatory and endothelial parameters will be collected. Periodontal parameters will be checked at baseline and at three months. Main outcome of the study is the level of C-reactive protein 24 hours after treatment.
The primary hypothesis that orthopaedic surgery induces a neuroinflammatory response within 48 hours after elective hip or knee surgery and that there is an association between exaggerated CNS inflammatory response or impaired inflammatory resolution and postoperative cognitive dysfunction within one week and at three months postoperatively.
This study has compared quadrant scaling and root planing (Q-SRP) versus intensive treatment performed within 24 hours (FM-SRP) in terms of acute phase responses following treatment of periodontal disease. The primary aim was to compare the differences in CRP acute increase following FM-SRP versus Q-SRP therapy (24 hours after therapy). Secondary outcomes included changes in a broad array of inflammatory and endothelial injury markers between groups. Patients were randomly assigned to either FM-SRP and Q-SRP. Data indicated that non-surgical periodontal therapy performed within 24 hours induced greater perturbations of systemic inflammation compared to conventional treatment.
Acute Migraine attacks can be related to vascular or coagulation activation. Previous studies found relative high incidence of prothrombotic events in Migraine. The present study intends to assess the coagulation system and activation in patients with Migraine during steady state phase and at the beginning of attacks and after 72 hours. A control group of patients with another acute neurologic event like convulsions will be also studied. Patients will be at pediatric age and teenagers.
A study will be conducted to determine if there is any cognitive benefit in elderly patients having open versus minimally invasive colon cancer surgery.
Prolonged fasting may increase the organic response to trauma. Carbohydrate-based drinks have been tested and they may reduce insulin resistance. No study so far has aimed to examine the possible benefits of whey protein drink in the composition of preoperative drinks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether erythrocyte mediated dexamethasone delivery reduces circulating inflammatory markers after coronary stent implantation and improves clinical and angiographic outcomes.
