Filter by:This study aim to observe the preventive effect and the long term safety of low calcium dialysis on coronary artery calcification in Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
The primary objective of the current study is to determine whether Ataciguat (HMR1766) slows progression of valve calcification in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. Secondary and tertiary objectives are to determine whether Ataciguat slows progression of aortic valve function, reduces systemic inflammation, and prevents left ventricular dysfunction in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of chewing gum containing maltitol, on re-mineralization of early caries following daily chewing for 6 months by school children, compared to a xylitol gum, gum base and a no gum group.
Central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were measured using a Complior Analyse device in Short and Long-term after kidney transplantation.
Central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were measured using a Complior Analyse device before and immediately after the end of the dialysis session.
The blood concentration of the protein RANKL could be predictive of the calcification of the leg arteries, which is a major complication occurring during diabetes. The objective of the DIACART study is to show that blood RANKL concentration predict the progression of calcification of the leg arteries in diabetic patients, independently of other cardiovascular risk factors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of removal of the calcification in calcific tendinitis of the shoulder (supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus tendon) by aspiration with a needle and syringe (barbotage) and a corticosteroid injection is more effective than corticosteroid or sham injection alone.
This study is designed to validate the hypothesis that the treatment of rosuvastatin could increase the score of Calcification of Coronary artery(CAC) density in coronary artery disease(CAD) patients with diabetes mellitus.CAD patients with diabetes who confirmed CAC will receive rosuvastatin (20mg/d) therapy for 24 months.
Ossification of nuchal ligament often observed in patient with chronic neck pain, previous study showed ossification of nuchal ligament was associated with cervical spondylosis and radiculopathy. Patient with chronic neck pain was divided into two groups according to the presence of ossification of nuchal ligament on cervical radiographic images. This study is to evaluate and compare the neck function including range of motion, neck strength and pressure pain threshold, radiography characteristics and functional disability between two groups.
Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease and an important public-health problem. Surgical or interventional aortic valve replacement are based on symptoms and measures of valvular and ventricular function using echocardiography.There is no uniform pattern of progression. Instead, marked differences not only between individuals, but also during the time course of the disease can be observed. Several prospective studies have been performed to enhance the predictability of disease behavior. Individually it is still prone to large errors and hard to predict aortic stenosis progression. Therefore, in patients with aortic sclerosis without severe stenosis, it is desirable to find a strong predictor of rapid disease progression. This would allow anticipating cardiovascular deterioration by identifying individuals at particular risk. Study Hypothesis In patients with aortic sclerosis, increased serum calcification propensity, as measured by the T50-Test, is related to the amount of stenosis progression in one year.
