Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disabling neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and phonic tics. The studies proposed in this application will explore the endocrine mechanisms underlying two of the least well-understood biological characteristics of TS, namely its marked male predominance and stress susceptibility. In particular, our exploratory studies will characterize the steroid profile in TS-affected boys and girls to identify novel potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for this disorder.
Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) is a whole-food diet coupled with partial enteral nutrition. The main objective of this trial is to assess whether CDED is superior to corticosteroids, in terms of endoscopic response, in patients active CD. The primary endpoint is endoscopic response at week 16, without corticosteroids or further therapeutic intervention, assessed by a centralized, anonymous and blinded, double lecture panel of panenteric PillCam Crohn's Capsule. This is a multicentre, open-label, comparative, randomized, 2:1, controlled, single-blind, superiority trial. Patients included are aged 16 to 70 years, have mild to moderate, luminal, active CD, and have active endoscopic lesions. Eighty patients will be randomized between CDED (n=56) and corticosteroids (n=24) in centres in France, Israel and the Netherlands.
Live Attenuated freeze-dried Influenza Vaccine has been licensed for use in 2020 (Approval No.S20200002), the sponsor of this research submitted an new application for non freeze-dried Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine in 2021. The main objective of phase two trail is to evaluate the immunogenicity of LAVI (non freeze- dried). The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of LAVI (non freeze- dried).
IP: RD07 cell injection; Target disease：solid tumor; Protocol design： Single arm, open label, dose increasing design. The experiment was divided into two stages: dose increasing stage and dose extension stage. After the completion of the dose escalation phase (9 or 12 cases) and the conclusion of safety, the investigator can select the appropriate dose group according to the safety, tolerance, and treatment response to enter the dose expansion phase. Dose extension stage (24 and 27 cases) according to the indications in the crowd into three queues: respectively for the integration of a stomach and the stomach esophagus adenocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer and other solid tumor, expand stage each queue number of cases can be determined by the actual filter and into the group of patients, no separate regulation, but two phase of the total case must not exceed 36 cases.
Sarcopenia can occur or increase due to sedentary lifestyles, physical inactivity or chronic endocrine and inflammatory disorders, this pathology is much more frequent in older people due to the added risk factors and the fact that the physiological ageing process generates a pro-inflammatory situation and an alteration in the synthesis of hormones and myokines, it has been observed that the loss of strength causes functional deterioration and a significant increase in the person's dependence, reduces their functional status and quality of life, and may increase the risk of falls, thereby increasing mortality. The hipotesis of this study is that multicomponent training 3 times a week for 6 weeks, produces improvements in the functional capacity of elderly patients. This study has the objective is whether multicomponent training 3 times a week for 6 weeks produces improvements in the functional capacity of elderly patients. The methodology is a pilot clinical trial. The study population is people over 65 years of age, sedentary, with functional independence and with a state of health that allows them to carry out physical activity. The study is planned as a pilot study and will consist of 13 subjects in the experimental group (multicomponent training). The variables to be measured are anthropometric variables and variables of neuromuscular function an functionality. The intervention will be a training will be 3 times a week during 6 weeks, with a warm-up, a main block with aerobic work, strength work and training and coordination work, and finally a return to calm.
In agreement to the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) recommendations that support the importance of physical functioning as core outcome for pain this randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial will be the pilot forming the rational basis for the assessment of the efficacy in the use of Robotic rehabilitation system to prevent chronic post stroke pain development. In fact, according to working hypothesis, proprioceptive inputs with high-intensive bilateral movement training of the hemiplegic arm can improve recovery and plasticity, thus preventing chronic post-stroke pain from occurring within the 3-6 months following stroke.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men that is frequently associated with troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can be divided into storage phase symptoms (urinary frequency, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, urinary incontinence, etc.), voiding phase symptoms (interruption of urination, thinning of the urine line, straining to urinate, etc.), and post-void symptoms (incomplete sensation of urination, dribbling after urination, etc.).BPH is prevalent in as many as 40% of men in their fifties and 90% of men in their eighties.Yet, few effective therapiesare available for treating BPH/LUTS. Acupuncture may be an effective treatment option for BPH/LUTS.However, effects of acupuncture on BPH/LUTS remain uncertain because of the small sample sizes or other methodological limitations. The objective of this randomized,conventional electroacupuncture-controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of electroacupuncture at'four sacral points'for relieving symptoms of BPH/LUTS. The results will provide a robust conclusion with a highlevel of evidence.
This is a study of normal brain physiology in healthy human volunteers. The study aims to understand the physiology of connectivity between brain regions. To reach this aim, it delivers single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (spTMS) to one or two brain areas at a time while electroencephalography (EEG) is measured. When only one brain area is stimulated (uni-focal TMS), the goal is to record how many milliseconds it takes for the activity to spread from the stimulated area to other brain regions (conduction delay). When two brain areas are stimulated (bi-focal TMS), the TMS pulses are separated by a short millisecond-level time interval ("asynchrony") in a so-called paired associative stimulation (PAS) design. The central hypothesis is that PAS may increase or decrease connectivity between the stimulated areas depending on the asynchrony value. All techniques in the study are non-invasive and considered safe.
This study intends to further reveal the effect of RIC in stroke-related insomnia and explore its potential mechanisms.
Prompt identification of allograft failure (AF) is highly desirable to address patients to liver retransplantation, in order to maximize results and preserve patients safety. Recently, sophisticated kinetic models became available, offering the possibility to predict 90-day AF with unprecedented accuracy, by computing data from the first 10 days after liver transplant (LT). The growing utilization of extended criteria and cardiac death donors stimulates the transplant community to further refine such predictive models and validate them on a larger scale population of patients across the nations. This study aims to develop new algorithms for the timely prediction of AF at 90 and 365 days using a prospective international cohort from high-volume centers, to validate them on a large retrospective cohort, to identify the best time for retransplantation, to stratify the risk of AF according to the graft type (i.e. DBD, ECD, DCD, LD), to weigh the effect of risk-mitigation strategies, and to assess the correlation with post-LT morbidity and mortality.
