Filter by:The objective of this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 investigation is to evaluate the safety and potential clinical effect of AAV2-GDNF delivered to the putamen in subjects with either a possible or probable diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy.
A deficient alveolar ridge segment in prepara¬tion for implant placement can be regenerated by several techniques. The type of graft material for each patient depends on many factors such as the anatomy, the morphology of the bone defect, type of prosthodontic rehabilitation and patient or clinician preferences. Bone graft material should have three properties that made it ideal: a) osteoconduction, it provides scaffolds for bone regeneration; b) osteoinduction, it promotes the recruitment of bone-forming cells and formation of bone and c) osteogenesis, induction of cells in the graft to promote regeneration of the bone. Despite of the development of different types of graft material, autogenous bone is still the gold standard for bone augmentation because it exhibits these three mentioned properties. Although it has many advantages, autologous bone has some disadvantages such as high resorption rate up to 50 %, limited source and donor site morbidity. Allografts, xenografts and alloplastic bone graft are materials that are used in everyday practice and over long period, but their disadvantages are numerous in comparison with autologous bone. Allografts can be carrier of some disease and show lack of osteoproliferation, while alloplasts and xenografts show only osteoconduction. According to these facts, it is obvious that there is a need for development an alternative graft material that will surpass these disadvantages.The reconstruction of deficient alveolar ridge defect by the lateral bone augmentation prior to the dental implant placement is predictable and commonly used method. Except animal studies, recent clinical studies showed that there is no difference in the osseointegration of titanium implants in deficient alveolar ridges reconstructed with autogenous cortical bone blocks or autogenous teeth.
The overall objective is to evaluate the validity of bedside US of QMLT and MF-BIA by comparing measurements from US and MF-BIA to those estimates of lean body mass obtained from CT Scan of abdomen when done for clinical reasons. The investigators expect to observe a high degree of correlation between these 3 baseline measures and the changes in US measures and MF-BIA over time to correlate with changes to CT Scan measures of lean body mass.
The reverse Nordic curl is a body-weight exercise which mainly works the quadriceps and hip flexors. It has a large eccentric component, meaning the muscles are working whilst lengthening. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the reverse Nordic curl exercise on Quadriceps femoris muscles injuries among soccer players. It hypothesized that reverse Nordic curl exercise has a beneficial effect in terms of Quadriceps femoris muscles injury prevention.
The study is an open-label uncontrolled single-center study for the evaluation of the Performance characteristics (efficacy and safety) of the dermal filler "MMG-23-04-2019" on the female genital area for the medicinal, functional and reconstructive indications.
This project will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized cohort study. The investigators will select patients with vulvovaginal atrophy who have indications for treatment, and set up the experimental group (Peninsula temperature-controlled radiofrequency therapeutic apparatus group) and the control group (promestriene vaginal soft capsules group). Changes in vaginal exfoliated cell maturity index (MV), score of vaginal symptoms and signs, vaginal health index score (VHIS), female sexual function index score (FSFI), visual analogue score (VAS) before and after treatment, and adverse effects will be observed to analyze the safety and efficacy of temperature-controlled radiofrequency therapy for vulvovaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.
This study is being conducted in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to determine if intravitreal (IVT) injections of ANX007 reduce GA lesion growth rate. The results will be used to guide further development of ANX007 in participants with geographic atrophy. The total duration of participation is expected to be approximately 19 months.
The study is an open-label uncontrolled single-center study for the evaluation of the Performance characteristics (efficacy and safety) of the dermal filler "MMI-22-04-2019" on the female genital area for the aesthetic, medicinal, functional and reconstructive indications.
The Motor Function Measure (MFM), a reliable tool assessing motor function and its progression in most neuromuscular diseases, is widely used in France in many teams. It can be used regardless of the severity of the motor impairment or the ambulatory status of the patient, allowing its use throughout the whole follow-up period of the patient, even in case of the loss of walking. Two versions of the MFM exist, one composed of 32 items validated for patients from 6 years old (MFM-32) and a shorter version composed of 20 items validated for patients between 2 and 6 years old (MFM-20). In order to show the possible use of MFM-20 as early as the age of 2 years to validly and reliably monitor the evolution of the motor function of children treated with Nusinersen, we propose in this project to study the sensitivity to treatment-induced change of MFM-20 and the validity of the scale in this population.
This study is designed to investigate the safety, PK/PD, biomarker and early clinical effects of repeat GEM103 IVT injections.
