Filter by:The purpose of this study is to use CT motion pictures (4DCT) to visualize and record how much space there is between certain wrist joint bones, both without any resistance and with light resistance to the movement, during a single scanning visit.
This is a multi-center cross sectional epidemiological study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) in Chinese population.
This multi-center, randomized and exploratory clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effect of bone metabolism and blood sugar of evogliptin and dapagliflozin in the menopause female patients with osteopenia and type 2 diabetes. The trial will evaluate bone metabolism (bone markers and bone density) and blood sugar (AGE and glucose variability) after 12 weeks and 48 weeks. This clinical trial conducts in two arms, and each arm recruits 60 subjects.
COD lesions effect a wide range of different anatomical areas, show different volume and morphometric characteristics.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk of fractures than those without. The purpose of this study is to develop a non-invasive Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that can improve fracture risk prediction and provide early diagnosis for bone abnormalities in patients with CKD.
Currently the diagnosis of OA is based on radiographs and clinical findings, which is limited to detecting late-stage disease. There is a pressing, unmet clinical need for robust assessment of early changes in cartilage health. Towards this goal, extensive efforts are ongoing to develop quantitative MRI for cartilage matrix analysis. MR T1ρ and T2 relaxation times have shown to be promising imaging biomarkers for early cartilage degeneration and prediction of disease progression. However, many challenges remain to clinically applying these techniques, including lack of standardized acquisition and quantification methods, and long acquisition times. The study aims to develop novel, fast and reproducible MR T1ρ and T2 relaxation time imaging methods on MR systems from multiple vendors and establish a platform for standardization and cross validation of these measures as a tool for clinical trials using such techniques. Following method validation, patients at risk for osteoarthritis will be tested.
The primary objectives of this study are to: (1) determine the impact of glomerular disease on bone strength and (2) investigate the pathophysiologic underpinnings of impaired bone strength in glomerular disease.
This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone for treatment of adynamic bone disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Periodontal disease is an infectious-inflammatory disease that accommodates the supporting and supporting tissues of the teeth, with the formation of periodontal pockets, and this destruction can generate anatomical defects in the region of bifurcation. Treatment of these lesions is a challenge for the clinician, as this area has limited access to bacterial biofilm and calculus. The surgical regenerative therapy using bone grafts and membrane may be a viable option in cases of class II furcation defects. In this context, the objective of this case series is to evaluate tomographically and clinically the treatment of class II furcation defects using an absorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Perio) associated or not with inorganic bovine bone associated with collagen matrix (Bio-Oss® Collagen).
Methods of diagnostic and treatment of hormonal disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be developed and implemented in real clinical practice. As a result of the project, new scientific data will be obtained on the relationship of hyperprolactinemia and impaired functioning of the pituitary-gonadal axis, changes in functioning of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system will be revealed, and the characteristics of the thyroid and parathyroid status in patients with CKD will be determined, including receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) and after kidney transplantation, which will improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of hormonal disorders in the early stages of the disease, reduce the direct financial costs of the diagnostic and treatment process primarily due to the optimization of hormonal studies and treatment of the revealed disorders, as well as will prevent the progression of CKD and the severity of the condition of this category of patients due to the development of hormonal dysfunctions.
