There are about 435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Arab Emirates. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
In Health, mucosal inflammation is prevented by TLR (Toll like receptors) that interact with Specific MAMP (microbe associated molecular pattern). Currently about 13TLRs have been identified. Among them, TLR2 and 4 recognize most organisms . Periodontal disease is mixed infection resulting due to dysbiosis . When aggravated by systemic disease the role of TLRs is detrimental for the overall state of periodontal apparatus. Type 2 diabetes is one of the systemic disease which is seen a risk factor if uncontrolled can exaggerate the titer of TLR2 and TLR4 biomarkers . Various studies have been evaluated to determine the role of TLRs in autoimmune and periodontal conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine if both TLR2 and TLR4 play equal roles in periodontal disease and in cases where periodontal disease is complicated by the presence of systemic disease. Individual role of TLR2 and TLR4 in active disease will help determine treatment strategies and will also be able to predict potential biomarker in disease.
A multitude of stretching parameters are used in the clinical setting. However, there is no convincing evidence to suggest which parameters are most effective in the management of chronic myofascial pain syndrome .In this regard, although the stretching duration is considered one of the most important variables that can affect the treatment outcome, to date there is little agreement on the most effective stretching duration.Accordingly ,we will conduct this study to investigate the effect of different stretching duration on nerve root function ,central conduction time, and chronic myofascial pain management outcomes.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on sleep quality in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on objective and subjective quantitative sleep parameters, AD related outcomes, and daytime consequences of sleep deprivation. To continue to assess the safety and tolerability throughout the study.
VKH disease is a vision threatening condition.The investigators consider that ozurdex intravitreal implant is an effective line of treatment in recurrent VKH posterior uveitis.
This Retrospective cohort study with an overall objective of to perform a descriptive analysis of the asthma patient population in the Emirate of Dubai with respect to healthcare resource utilization, costs, and asthma-related treatment patterns and outcome.
SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring provides real-time insight into a patient's depth of anesthesia with bilateral data acquisition and processing of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Four active EEG leads collect data from the frontal lobe with a sensor position on the patient's forehead. Whenever a frontal approach for neurosurgical procedures is required or the frontal placement of the EEG is not indicated, it would not be possible to place the SedLine® . Numerous studies have analyzed the change of position and the application of alternative positions for other devices used in assessing the depth of anesthesia. Albeit, yet to date, there is no study that analyzed the application of alternative positions for the SedLine® sensor.
Investigators wants to analyze the differences considering the country of origin, ethnicity, characteristics, reproductive history and habits of participants undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) / intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment as well as the stimulation outcome in regards to stimulation dosages and egg cell yield.
A total of 650 dental records were selected from 6000 dental records of patients who had received dental treatment in the Dental Clinic, College of Dentistry, Ajman University(AU)-Fujairah Campus, between academic year,2015/2016 and 2016/2017
This study will measure the blood flow in the aa. uterinae in women, undergoing firstly ovarian stimulation for In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) / Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in Hormonal Replacement cycles (HRT) and Natural cycles (NC) for Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
In spite of the growing evidence for the beneficial effects of probiotics, their anti-obesity effects are not well examined. No previous studies were conducted in this research area in the UAE. Hence, the aims of this study are to 1) Investigate the link between metabolic derangements associated with obesity and levels of LPS and LBP; 2) Study the relatedness of low grade inflammation with the ME; 3) Investigate the food intake assessment; and 4) Investigate the effectiveness of probiotics supplement on the obesity, ME and inflammation. This project will have two phases: 1) a cross-sectional, in which 250 adults will be recruited for the collection of anthropometric measures, food intake, and fasting blood samples to measure serum LPS, LBP, Lipid profile, IR, insulin-like growth factor, hs-CRP, IL-6, and glucose. 2) Intervention phase, in which 50 overweight subjects will be randomly assigned to either receive a daily probiotic (25 subjects) or a placebo capsule (25 subjects) during the intervention period.
