NCT ID: NCT03964766 Not yet recruiting - Infection Clinical Trials

Pulpectomy of Primary Molars With Rotary Instrumentation Versus Manual Instrumentation

Start date: December 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

One of the major concerns in pediatric dentistry is premature loss of necrotic primary teeth which may cause a deleterious effect on the growth of the facial skeletal complex. In order to sustain the primary tooth as a natural space maintainer, pulpectomy is considered the treatment of choice. The essential part of endodontic treatment is to shape and clean the root canal effectively from infected tissue with microbial reduction, whilst maintaining the original configuration without creating any procedural errors . Even though, manual instrumentation as used for that purpose in deciduous teeth, presents some limitation concerning root canal cleaning, anatomical fidelity and chair-side time. To achieve successful pulpectomy technique for the primary dentition in a fast and simple procedure, with short chair time as well as effective debridement of the root canals, rotary instrumentation is one of the methods recommended over the manual.

This is a post-marketing, non-interventional, single-arm, prospective registry study in adult patients with chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) in China. Patients will be recruited consecutively from the study sites during the enrollment period. The enrolled patients will be undertaking TKI discontinuation under the conditions of informed consent and frequent monitoring according to the clinical guideline.

NCT ID: NCT02638467 Completed - Leukemia Clinical Trials

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Failing TKIs Therapy

Start date: November 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia undergo treatment with TK inhibitors (TKI). A possible cause of TK failure is represented by the insufficient recovery of normal Ph- hematopoiesis during TKI treatment, with consequent severe cytopenias that limit TKI adequate administration. Although rare, this event happens in a proportion of 4-5% of CML patients. Our hypothesis is to circumvent this peculiar condition by providing a normal hematopoiesis from a HLA-matched donor (Human Leukocyte Antigen). The transplant procedure is therefore intended in providing a sustained hematopoiesis that will allow an early treatment with an adequate dosing of TKI. The transplant procedure planned in our study is built on all available evidences to provide the lowest incidence of acute and chronic GvHD (Graft-versus-host disease). Therefore, a bone marrow will be the preferential source and a GvHD prophylaxis based on Anti-thrombocyte globulin (ATG) and Cyclosporine/Methotrexate will be used according to standard current experience in the field of family and unrelated donors. The pre-transplant TKI will be continued until aplasia will develop, in order to decrease the tumor load as much as possible.The use of TKIs shortly after transplant carries the risk of inhibiting the newly transplanted hematopoietic cells, as Kit, an important kinase in normal bone marrow cells, is frequently blocked by Abl inhibitors. The use of bosutinib as post-transplant therapy is justified by the lack of Kit inhibition that distinguishes bosutinib from all other TKIs, and which could allow a minimal inhibitory activity against the transplanted normal bone marrow.

NCT ID: NCT02577120 Suspended - Clinical trials for Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Wound Healing Endpoint and Recurrence

Start date: January 8, 2019
Phase: Phase 4

Patients enrolled in the study will be followed for 16 weeks for wound closure (Phase A), and will then begin Phase B. 265 clinically diagnosed infected burn or chronic wound patients will be recruited for this study in Phase A. Based on the expectation that 89% of these wounds will heal within 16 weeks of enrollment, 234 of these patients will continue with the study for Phase B.

NCT ID: NCT01182792 Active, not recruiting - Chronic Clinical Trials

Chronic Mountain Sickness, Systemic Vascular Function

CMS
Start date: October 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Diseases associated with chronic hypoxemia like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or emphysema, represent major medical and socio-economical problems and one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western countries. Recently, is has been shown that cardiovascular (CV) diseases contribute highly to the morbidity and mortality of these patients. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggest that systemic vascular dysfunction play a central role in the mediation of the increased CV risk in patients with COPD. However the underlying mechanisms of vascular dysfunction in these patients are incompletely understood. Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is characterized by chronic hypoxemia related at least in part to hypoventilation; it affects relatively young adults, and may therefore allow to study the effects of chronic hypoxemia. The investigators therefore will assess systemic vascular function and test the hypothesis that increased oxidative stress is responsible for this dysfunction. Since polyglobulia is a hallmark of chronic hypoxemia and has been suggested to affect vascular function, the investigators will test the effects of hemodilution on vascular function. Then, the investigators will test the effects of acute oxygen application and 1 month antioxidative dietary supplement on vascular function. Preliminary data suggest that offspring of CMS patients may display pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction. Antioxidant administration is know to improve vascular function. We will test the acute effect of Vitamin C in this setting. Finally, since there is considerable inter-individual variability of pulmonary artery pressure among CMS patients and the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO)is increased in clinical conditions associated with pulmonary hypertension and hypoxemia, we will assess the prevalence of PFO in healthy high altitude dwellers and in CMS patients and its effects on pulmonary artery pressure at rest and during mild exercise.

NCT ID: NCT01117870 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Assess the Effectiveness of Pulse RadioFrequency in Patients With Chronic Lumbar Radicular Pain

Start date: July 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pulsed RadioFrequency (PRF) is a relatively new technique derived from a well established and proven intervention, thermal radiofrequency (RF). Both procedures are used in the treatment of chronic pain. Unlike RF treatment, PRF does no direct damage to the nerve. During PRF treatment, electrical energy is applied with a small needle to the affected nerve using a pulsed time cycle that delivers short bursts of RF current. This study is interested in looking at the efficacy of PRF for chronic lumbar radicular pain (CLR) and to assess whether a larger scale clinical study with the same methods can be used.
