Filter by:The personalized nutrition and exercise app was designed for use by individuals living with chronic conditions. The pilot study examines the acceptance and use of the online, interactive program to support self-management in cirrhosis.
A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, non-inferiority study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of SINOMED SR for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erenumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
The purpose of this study is to assesses the efficacy of oral supplementation with glutamine over three months on several amino acids and lactate concentration measured in cerebrospinal fluid and cerebral lactate measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
This research is studying the use of a new drug to learn about its safety and efficacy as a treatment for hepatic encephalopathy. Eligible participants will be enrolled and given oral antibiotics followed by 14 days of the study drug (placebo vs.VE303). There will be visits as well as other procedures to collect blood and stool samples, and have tests of your cognition (thinking) for this research study. The hypothesis is that VE303 will safely and effectively improve cognitive function in patients with a history of overt hepatic encephalopathy.
Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) often struggle with complex impairments, including cognitive (such as memory and attention), social, emotional and behavioral challenges. There is a lack of evidence-based knowledge about rehabilitation for children with ABI in the chronic phase. The current study, the CICI Study, is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) directed towards children with ABI and their families in the chronic phase. The study will be conducted in close collaboration with schools and local health care providers. The CICI Study focuses on the child's and parents' individually identified target outcome areas and rehabilitation goals. The intervention aims to enhance everyday functioning in the home and school environment by attaining rehabilitation goals in areas noted as challenging by the participants. The efficacy of the CICI-intervention will be measured in terms of goal attainment, burden of brain injury related symptoms, parenting self-efficacy, unmet health care needs, as well as several aspects of child, parent and family functioning.
Determine if the daily docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)/eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplement will reduce serum levels of biomarkers of sub-concussion injuries over a course of American football season among collegiate football athletes.
3D FLAIR, 3D T1 FAT SAT, coronal T2 and coronal T1 dixon sequences were usually used to assess visual deficits in MRI. Optic nerve examination is preferably performed using a coronal T2 sequence in order to detect a hypersignal suggestive of inflammation whereas brain examination is preferably performed using a 3D FLAIR sequence to highlight signs of spatial dissemination and lesions suggestive of multiple slerosis (MS). Recently, a study based on a small number of patients showed the interest of 3D FLAIR in the detection of the hypersignal of the optic nerve.The objective of this retrospective study is to determine whether a single 3D FLAIR sequence allows simultaneous exploration of the optic nerve and the brain for the positive diagnosis of optic neuropathy and/or MS.
The purpose of study to assess the short-term efficacy and safety of probiotic E.coli Nissle 1917 strain comparing to lactulose and rifaximin in patients with mild (Stage 1-2) or minimal hepatic encephalopathy
Sleep disturbances are common among patients with liver cirrhosis, but the reasons are not well understood. In this project the investigators evaluated whether an increase in blood ammonia in patients with cirrhosis had an impact on sleep quality and the function of retinal ganglion cells measured by pupillary response to blue light.
