Filter by: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 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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to test whether active vitamin D (calcitriol) protects bones from weakening and protects blood vessels from calcium deposits over the first year of kidney transplantation.
Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been suggested to influence fetal and neonatal health. The role of placenta in vitamin D regulation is known but alteration of Vitamin D levels at placental pathologies is unknown. Placental calcification is usually thought to be a physiological aging process. Nevertheless, it can be a pathological change resulting from the effects of environmental factors on the placenta. The aim of the investigators study was to evaluate the relationship between placental calcification and maternal and cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 [25(OH)D] and calcium concentrations in low-risk obstetric population at term and their consequences.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the SAPIEN XTâ„¢ THV with the associated delivery system for inoperable patients with severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Lunar iXDA scanning with the use of a computer software program can make accurate measurements of the length of leg bones compared to conventional x-rays.
