Filter by:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation of exon 7, in 95% of cases, encoding the gene for the motor neuron survival protein called SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron) located on chromosome 5q. Patients with an SMA-5q mutation suffer from progressive muscle deficiency and subsequent atrophy induced by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. Gene therapy is now available for the management of spinal muscular atrophy and nusinersen is the first approved treatment. Nusinersen has been granted marketing authorization in France since May 30, 2017. Nusinersen has a high level of medical service rendered (MSR) for types I, II, and III, but the improvement in medical service rendered (IMSR) is assessed as moderate for types I and II. For Type III, IMSR is not known.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre study, with parallel groups, to determine the efficacy and safety of a new low-concentration estriol formulation (ITFE-2026 0.005%) for application by vaginal route in the treatment of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy. Primary objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of 0.005% Estriol vaginal gel by evaluation of the change in the maturation value of the vaginal epithelium (MV) after 12 weeks of treatment. Secondary objectives: - To determine the variation of the vaginal pH, as well as symptoms and signs suggestive of vaginal atrophy after 12 weeks of treatment. - To study the variation of the MV, pH and symptoms and signs suggestive of vaginal atrophy after an initial observation period of 3 weeks. - To evaluate the safety of 0.005% Estriol vaginal gel - To evaluate the acceptability of 0.005% Estriol vaginal gel
Horizontal ridge augmentation using either cortical bone plate technique or cortico-cancellous block graft was the aim of the study. Bone quality was analyzed histomorphomterically, and horizontal dimensional changes were assessed using CBCT.
Subjects will be randomized to receive up to 1cc of Juvéderm Vollure on one side of their face and up to 1cc of Saline on the other. On Day 30, this treatment with the same left-right assignment can be repeated. Subjects will return 24-48 hours after their first treatment to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, and to be assessed by blinded evaluators regarding short term adverse events. Subjects will fill out a 30 day subject diary and also return 30 and 90 days after their last treatment to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, complete the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and to be assessed on the QGSGS and for long-term adverse events by blinded evaluators. At 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months, the subjects will return to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, and to be assessed by blinded evaluators for long-term efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether identification of misfolded proteins in the skin will help to determine what sort of parkinsonism someone has. We seek to demonstrate whether someone has a synucleinopathy such as Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), or dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB), as opposed to a tauopathy such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or corticobasal degeneration (CBD) or no parkinsonism at all (control).
Skeletal muscle plays several different roles in the promotion and maintenance of health and well-being. The loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging, chronic muscle wasting diseases, and physical inactivity puts people at an increased risk of frailty and becoming insulin resistant, and therefore imposes a significant burden on health care spending. Resistance exercise participation has proven particularly effective for increasing muscle mass and strength. This effectiveness can be used by health care practitioners in a rehabilitation setting to promote the recovery of individuals who have undergone involuntary periods of muscular unloading (i.e. limb immobilization caused by a sports injury or reconstructive surgery). However, there is large variability in the amount of muscle mass and strength that people gain following participation in resistance exercise. Some individuals fail to increase the size of their muscle (low responders) whereas others show vary large increases in muscle size (high responders) in response to the same resistance training program. People also show differences in the amount of muscle tissue they lose when they have a limb immobilized. To circumvent variability across individuals, the investigators utilized a within-person paired Hypertrophy and Atrophy ('HYPAT') strategy that reduced response heterogeneity by ~40% (Available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3445673). Specifically, one leg performed resistance training for 10 weeks to induce hypertrophy, whereas the other leg underwent single-leg immobilization for 2 weeks to induce atrophy. The primary goal of the study will be to gain insight into the molecular responses to an acute period of single-leg immobilization and resistance exercise (8 days). The investigators will use an integrated systems biology approach to monitor the individual rates of over one hundred different muscle proteins.
Up to twenty (20) healthy pre- and post-menopausal women with self-reported vaginal laxity will be enrolled in the study.
Background: Lateral maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is a predictable bone regeneration technique in case of atrophy of the posterior-upper maxilla. Aimed at obtaining quantity and quality of bone suitable for receiving osseointegrated implants, its success is largely due to the skill of the surgeon, but also to the characteristics of the biomaterial used. Methods: Twenty-four patients needing MSA were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated to 3 different groups: Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral (ABBM) as control, Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) with or without hyaluronic acid (HA) as test groups. Nine months after MSA bone biopsies were harvested for the histomorphometric analysis. Secondary outcomes were mean bone gain, intraoperative and post-operative complications, implant insertion torque, implant failure and patient related outcome measures (PROMs).
The study purpose is conducting follow-up surveillance for the incidence of adverse events and efficacy of subjects participated in phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CS10BR05) in subjects with Multiple System Atrophy until 60 months from administering investigational product (IP).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the neurophysiological contributors to muscle function following ACL Reconstruction and the influence of motor control biofeedback exercise on measures of muscle function. The research team hypothesizes that the application of motor biofeedback will increase cortical excitability of the quadriceps compared to the passive movement of the knee. This is a single session cross-over intervention study with a 1-week washout period between treatment arms.
