This trial aims to study the efficacy and safety of cannabidivarin (CBDV) in children with ASD.
In Singapore, hypertension is very common in the adult population. Hypertensive heart disease is a leading cause of heart failure and cardiovascular death. Current management relies primarily on achieving blood pressure targets. However, the optimal blood pressure goals are controversial and there are inherent difficulties in measuring blood pressure using external devices applied to peripheral arteries. As a result of (usually longstanding) hypertension, the heart thickens (i.e. hypertrophies) to maintain function. Ultimately, HF may occur due to long standing energy deficits, muscle injury/death and diffuse interstitial fibrosis (heart muscle scarring). In an ongoing study (REMODEL, ClinicalTrial.gov Identifier NCT02670031), we have been able to undertake preliminary analyses with respect to factors associated with the development of fibrosis. In this randomize controlled trial, we will be examining a novel therapy that has the potential to induce regression cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.
OCT image quality is necessary to provide accurate diagnostic information to ophthalmologists. The increasing resolution of imaging techniques will require ever more high standards of optical transmission through the cornea and tear film. Given that lubricant drops can improve optical transmission through the cornea, this study will attempt to quantify this. The primary objective is to assess the effect of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate on OCT image quality compared to the effect of blinking alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Cereset Research to improve autonomic function in participants with symptoms of stress, anxiety, or insomnia.
The study primary objective is to evaluate the effect of HC-1119 soft capsules versus placebo on overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients who have failed or become intolerant to the treatments with both abiraterone acetate and docetaxel, or who are not suitable for docetaxel treatment.
Centres: Three university hospitals and the primary care centres in their area in Madrid (Clínico San Carlos, La Paz, 12 de Octubre) Type of study: Randomized, multicentric, placebo-controlled, single-blind pilot study Main outcome: Nighttime blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients Objective: To investigate the effect of the addition of 10 mg daily of dapagliflozin to the treatment of diabetic patients compared to the addition of placebo on the change in nighttime blood pressure (measured by ABPM) over 12 weeks among patients withalbuminuria levels ≥ 30 and < 3000 mg/g creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.. Patients: 225 patients with a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and eGFR> 30mL/min x1,73m2, office BP above 140/70 mmHg, HbA1C 7.5-10%, albuminuria levels between 30 mg/g creatinine and 3000 mg/g creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Intervention: 10 mg once daily of dapagliflozin or placebo resembling dapagliflozin.
The largest epidemiologic study of Hispanic/Latino participants thus far, i.e., the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) documented that 80% of men and 71% of women have at least one major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. The American Heart Association emphasizes that current CVD prevention efforts are sparse and ineffectual in minority populations and acknowledges the need for new and more effective disease prevention strategies. This proof-of-concept study and pilot randomized clinical trial seeks to implement and evaluate a novel internet-based 5-week Positive Psychology (PP) Intervention (compared to an attention control condition) in Hispanic/Latino adults with uncontrolled hypertension, i.e., elevated 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, with primary interest in testing efficacy for clinically meaningful improvements in cardiovascular function.
Coronary heart disease, including acute coronary syndromes (ACS), is the leading cause of death in European countries. One of the basic elements of secondary and tertiary prevention of ACS is cardiac rehabilitation. The aims of the study are evaluation of the impact of cardiac rehabilitation on health state- especially on cardiovascular function parameters in patients after acute coronary syndrome and evaluation of the influence of the level of gene expression and polymorphisms of genes associated with ischemic heart disease on the course of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after ACS. The study will consist of a retrospective and prospective part. The retrospective part will include patients who have had acute coronary syndrome in the past and then - before being included in the study - have undergone cardiac rehabilitation. In the retrospective part, patients enrolled in the study will not undergo cardiac rehabilitation as a part of the study intervention. The prospective part will include patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome in the past and will undergo cardiac rehabilitation as the study intervention. After being included in the study, patients will undergo medical examination. Then subsequent procedures will be performed: anthropometric measurements; ECG; body composition analysis by bioimpedance; measurement of resting blood pressure, resting heart rate and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin; pulse wave analysis; transthoracic echocardiography of the heart; 24-hour blood pressure measurement by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM); 24-hour ECG recording using the Holter method; electrocardiographic exercise test on a treadmill and / or a six-minute walk test or other exercise test adequate to the patient's state of health; assessment of the quality of the diet; assessment of lifestyle, acceptance of disease and quality of life; assessment of the psychological profile. Subsequently patients taking part in the prospective part of the study will perform a cardiac rehabilitation program. After the cardiac rehabilitation program measurement procedures listed above will be repeated. Before and after the cardiac rehabilitation program blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will be collected. Blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will also be collected from patients taking part in the retrospective part of the study.
Liver transplantation is the best treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease and early unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, biliary complication after liver transplantation is still the Achilles' heel, especially in living donor liver transplantation. Early treatment with endoscopy can achieve satisfactory outcomes. Most of the time, biliary anastomotic stricture can be treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with balloon dilatation with or without plastic stent insertion. Although endoscopic treatment has been reported to have a successful rate of over 70%, multiple sessions of endoscopic treatment, typically 4 to 5 sessions, are frequently required before adequate stricture dilatation is achieved. This is likely secondary to suboptimal post-dilatation splintage. The most common and popular form of splintage is plastic stent insertion. Unfortunately, plastic biliary stent has a small calibre, and therefore even with multiple stents the configuration of buttressing would not provide a circumferential, evenly distributed buttressing effect at the dilated stricture site. Moreover, given the small calibre of the plastic stent, there is higher resistance on the inner surface of the stent, leading to a higher chance of stent blockage. Many studies have suggested that self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) is superior to plastic stent in terms of patency rate. However, SEMS is generally reserved for malignant stricture due to its permanent nature, as the traditional SEMS is not removable. Recently, retrievable SEMS (r-SEMS) has been developed, and its indications have been extended to include benign disease conditions. It has been reported that a series of 29 patients with biliary anastomotic stricture treated by r-SEMS, and they concluded that r-SEMS was safe and efficacious. Results of the preliminary study on 5 patients at our centre were favourable; all of the patients had no stricture after retrievable metallic stenting for at least 3 months and no complication was encountered.
As part of a graduated medical-surgical strategy, and in our practice, surgery for Dupuytren's disease appears as a second-line treatment indicated in a situation of failure after treatment with percutaneous needle aponeurotomy.The results of second-line surgery in terms of safety and efficacy have not been specifically evaluated in patients who underwent failed percutaneous needle aponeurotomy. This evaluation nevertheless appears necessary for the validation of a medical-surgical strategy during Dupuytren's disease.
