Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. The study is also evaluating side effects of vedolizumab in the children and teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
MOBI-1 is a multicenter clinical trial that will evaluate the use of the Infrascanner for the monitoring of traumatic intracranial hematomas.
Neutrophil elastase (NE) released by neutrophils play an important role in inflammatory cascade and lung tissue injury of ARDS.Inhibition of NE is expected to prevent the pathophysiological process of ARDS and alleviate lung injury. Siverestat sodium is a specific inhibitor of NE, which has been proved by basic and observational clinical studies to be effective in alleviating lung injury of ARDS, but there is a lack of prospective multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials.Therefore, this study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of sivelestat sodium in the treatment of ARDS patients with SIRS in a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial
Background: CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy) is a genetic disorder. It causes narrowing of the small blood vessels and can lead to strokes and dementia. Researchers want to monitor people with CADASIL over time. Objective: To learn more about how CADASIL affects a person s blood vessels over time. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have CADASIL, and healthy volunteers. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical record review. Participants will have 4 study visits over 9 years. Visits will last 6 8 hours per day, for 2 4 days. Participants will give blood and urine samples. They will have an electrocardiogram to record their heart s electrical activity. They will fill out a family tree. They will have tests that measure mental abilities like memory and attention. They may have a skin biopsy. They may have a lumbar puncture. Participants will have an eye exam. Their pupils will be dilated. They will receive a dye via intravenous (IV) line. Pictures will be taken of their eyes. Participants will have an imaging scan of their brain. They may receive a contrast agent via IV. Participants blood flow and blood vessel flexibility will be measured. In one test, a probe will be pressed against the skin of the their wrist, neck, and groin. In another test, they will hold one arm still while a microscope makes videos of the blood flow through a fingernail. In another test, they will perform light exercise or other activities while wearing an elastic band around their head or probes placed on their arm or leg. Healthy volunteers will complete some of the above tests.
The World Health Organization advocates for breastfeeding as the best source of food for optimal infant development, which reduces the risk of infant mortality and morbidity. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of a father-involvement breastfeeding telephone support intervention on prevalence and duration of exclusive breastfeeding, postnatal depression and parent-infant bonding. The intervention consists of four weekly 20-30 minutes telephone-administered counselling sessions on breastfeeding, delivered individually in the first month postpartum for mothers and fathers. We expect that women who receive the intervention will have a higher rate and longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding, fewer depressive symptoms and better parent-child relationship. The knowledge gained from this study can provide direction for the development of flexible, accessible and culturally sensitive interventions to promote breastfeeding and mental health in Chinese society.
The objective of this randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of consuming a pediatric oral nutritional supplement (ONS) plus dietary counseling for 120 days on anthropometric growth, strength, and nutritional status, compared with dietary counseling alone in undernourished children in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a personalized light exposure schedule for Shift Work Disorder (SWD) in night shift workers compared to a non-personalized light exposure schedule.
This is a parallel arm, Phase 3, double-blind, double-dummy, active-comparator, 2 arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily oral venglustat versus intravenous Cerezyme infusions every two weeks for improvement or stabilization of the neurological manifestations and maintenance of systemic disease stability in participants aged ≥12 and <18 years and adult patients with Gaucher disease Type 3 (GD3) who have been treated with Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) for at least 3 years.
Background: Current techniques used to measure the health and function of a person s nerves and muscles are generally effective, but they do have limits. Researchers are looking for ways to improve the ability to observe nerves and muscles and how they function in this natural history protocol. Objective: To study the use of ultrasound (sound waves) to learn more about nerves and muscles. Eligibility: Healthy adults, aged 18 and older, with no history of stroke, nerve or muscular disorders, or spine surgery are also needed. A smaller population of adults aged 18 and older who have a neuromuscular disorder or show symptoms of nerve or muscle disorder will also be evaluated. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical record review. Participants will have up to 5 outpatient clinic visits. Most participants will have 1 or 2 visits. Visits will last for less than 3-4 hours each. During each visit, participants will give a brief medical history and have a physical exam. Participants will have ultrasounds to get pictures and measurements of their nerves and muscles. Gel will be applied to their skin. A probe will be placed on the skin surface. Sound waves sent through the probe will be used to create pictures. Participants may have nerve conduction studies. Wires will be taped to the skin surface near a muscle or nerve in the arm or leg. The nerve will be stimulated with a small electric current that feels like a rubber band flick. The response will be recorded through the wires.
This study will determine if occupational therapy or the combination of occupational therapy and virtual reality is the better treatment for chronic low back pain (CLBP)patients.
