There are about 4010 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Argentina. 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.
Ecological time-series study using secondary databases.
This study examines the use of an AI-powered virtual assistant for quickly identifying and handling neurological emergencies, particularly in places with limited medical resources. The research aimed to check if this AI tool is safe and accurate enough to move on to more advanced testing stages. In a first-of-its-kind trial, the virtual assistant was tested with patients having urgent neurological issues. Neurologists first reviewed the AI's recommendations using clinical records and then assessed its performance directly with patients. The findings were as follows: neurologists agreed with the AI's decisions nearly all the time, and the AI outperformed earlier versions of Chat GPT in every tested aspect. Patients and doctors found the AI to be highly effective, rating it as excellent or very good in most cases. This suggests the AI could significantly enhance how quickly and accurately neurological emergencies are dealt with, although further trials are needed before it can be widely used.
The study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile, safety profile, and immunogenic potential of adalimumab of a new citrate-free formulation of adalimumab (Adalimumab Richmond) [Test Product] vs. Humira® AC Pen [Reference Product]
Hanita Lenses new Intensity IOL and Intensity Toric were been designed to have very high efficiency of light leading to a high MTF, wide focal ranges of far, intermediate and near vision and minimal loss of light energy. The main purpose of this study is to collect existing post-operative data based on standard of care follow up visits at the clinic.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if Plateth-rich plasma would provide improved pain relief and function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to standard treatment of corticosterone injections. Researchers will compare a control group of patients treated with a corticosterone injection with a case group of patients treated with Plateth-rich plasma injection. The purpose of this study is to perform a double-blind randomized controlled trial, comparing PRP with corticosteroids to provide pain relief and improve function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The hypothesis of this study is that PRP would provide improved pain relief and function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to standard treatment of CS injections.
The use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has increased. Diaphragmatic ultrasonography is a tool that, as a noninvasive complement to esophageal pressure (Pes) measurement, allows the evaluation of diaphragm function and reflects, through the diaphragm thickening fraction (DTf), the magnitude of diaphragmatic fiber recruitment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of HFNC therapy on the DTf in healthy subjects. Second, this study aimed to assess the behavior of the respiratory rate (RR) and the work of breathing in these subjects.
This clinical study will assess the safety and performance of Intensity SL IOL, 1 year post operation. The study will also evaluate the patient satisfaction of the implanted patients.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a tumor originating from parafollicular C cells of the thyroid. (1) Representing 1 to 7% of all thyroid carcinoma cases (2, 3, 4). It can occur in two clinical forms, the sporadic or non-hereditary, in 75-80% of patients, and the hereditary form in the remaining 20-25%. It can be part of different clinical syndromes depending on the organs involved: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) and Familial Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (FCM) whose clinical expression is only CMT. A distinctive characteristic of this tumor is its capacity to secrete calcitonin (CT), which, measured in serum, sanctions suspicion of this pathology (5-8) leading to diagnostic studies to confirm CMT. For the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules, ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a useful and safe procedure; however, its sensitivity to exclude CMT is low (9-15). In 2015, a meta-analysis of 15 studies (16) found that the accuracy of FNAC in diagnosing CMT was around 50%. For this reason, other studies have indicated that the measurement of calcitonin in the fine-needle lavage aspirate fluid of thyroid nodules (CT-guided FNAC), which have suspected medullary carcinoma, can significantly improve the accuracy in the diagnosis of MTC (17 -19). Therefore, clinical practice guidelines recommend its determination in patients with suspected MTC (1,2). The diagnostic importance of pre-surgical medullary carcinoma lies mainly in two points: first, it changes the surgical approach of the patients, and second, it allows one to rule out associated pathologies such as hyperparathyroidism and pheochromocytoma, which are associated when the entity is hereditary. The performance of CT-guided FNAC by the chemiluminescent (CL) method has been widely disseminated. However, to the best of our knowledge, to date there are no data available on the appropriate cut-off value of CT-guided FNAC with calcitonin electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunometric assay method. As previously stated, it is of particular interest to determine the calcitonin cut-off point in needle washing by electrochemiluminescence method that allows diagnosing medullary carcinoma. Clarifying this point allows improving the approach to patients in whom medullary carcinoma is suspected. This work seeks to determine the cut-off point of CT-guided FNAC for the diagnosis of CMT with the ECL assay method.
The general objective of this observational study is identify and describe the type, frequency, and severity of sexual dysfunction in patients with lung cancer and generate strategies for clinical management and oncological follow-up directed and based on the specific findings in this population. The recruitment will be carried out from July 2023 and will be carried out until December 2023, the analysis of the information will be carried out from January to March 2024.
The objective of this clinical trial is to compare the health conditions of the participating population before and after an intervention with Resveratrol enriched wine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. • The consumption of wine enriched with resveratrol could slow down or reverse the biological age ? 2. • The consumption of wine enriched with resveratrol could improve body composition fat mass / muscle mass ? The participants will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the clinical trial and will adopt only one change in their habits, that is, change the usual wine they consume with their meals for a wine enriched with resveratrol, in a moderate measure, 250 cc for men and 125 cc/day for women. The design of the study will be that each volunteer is their own control, pre and post intervention.
