There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. 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.
The only supportive therapy for patients with AKI is renal replacement therapy (RRT). In the ICU setting, continuous RRT (CRRT) is mostly favored. In a post-hoc analysis of the RICH trial (regional citrate versus systemic heparin anticoagulation for CRRT in critically ill patient with AKI), it was shown that the filter life span is associated with an increased rate of new infection and that the type of anticoagulants did not directly affect infection rate. The mechanisms of this infection rate is unknown.
Acute rehabilitation in critically ill patients can improve post-intensive care unit (post-ICU) physical function. Scientific evidence has considered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a promising approach for the early rehabilitation of patients during and/or after ICU. Neuromuscular electrostimulation can be an alternative form of muscle exercise that helps to gain strength in critically ill patients with COVID -19, due to the severe weakness that patients experience due to longer MV, analgesia and NMB duration. Thus, the general objective of evaluating the effects of an early rehabilitation protocol on the strength and functionality of patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 variants and specifically compare the effectiveness of NMES associated with the functional rehabilitation protocol(FR). Also, describe demographics, clinical status, ICU therapies, mortality estimates and Hospital outcomes, of every patients admitted in ICU during the observation periods.
The investigators evaluated the electroencephalographic pattern by the Sinek and Young scales during ICU stay and its correlation with cognitive impairment determined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) in septic patients after 3 months of ICU discharge..
The purpose of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of Carnipure tartrate (L-Carnitine and L-tartaric acid - LCLT) supplementation for SARS-Cov-2 infection
Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that affects around 40% of postmenopausal women and is therefore considered a public health problem. Conservative treatment is recommended, and pelvic floor muscle training (PMT) is considered the gold standard for this type of condition. However, other possibilities of exercises have been studied to achieve continence, such as Pilates exercises, which focus on the stabilizing muscles and request a voluntary contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor (PFM), it is believed that it can recruit fibers from these muscles, improving muscle function and episodes of urinary incontinence. However, the literature is still inconclusive regarding the effects of Pilates exercises on urinary incontinence and PFM function. Objective: To compare the effects of 3 months of muscle training, through TMAP and Pilates exercises on the improvement of UI in postmenopausal women. Methods: 40 postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence will be randomly assigned to two intervention groups: pelvic floor muscle training and Pilates exercises. The evaluations will be carried out before the interventions and after three months of them, and will involve the following instruments: urinary incontinence and aspects related to quality of life, assessed using the International Consultation of Urinary Incontinence questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF); 7-day voiding diary, used to identify possible modifiable factors related to urination and its frequency; Pad-test used to identify and quantify UI; Feeling Scale, to portray the affective valence of the exercises; Female Sexual Function Index, which will assess female sexual function; Manometric assessment of muscle strength and PFM endurance with Epi-no; and Manometric evaluation by bidigital palpation using the PERFECT test. Shapiro Wilk tests will be performed to verify normality, Student's t or Mann Whitney U test according to parametric or non-parametric distribution, ANCOVA for comparison between groups in the post-intervention, considering the 95% confidence interval (p<0.05) . The data will be processed in the SPSS 25.0 program.
Prevalence of Obesity and its association with Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM2) affect a significant percentage of the world's population with great socioeconomic impact, especially for developing countries. Several procedures and interventions are used in its treatment, and the most efficient and with a positive impact on the life of patients with severe obesity and DM2 is Bariatric Surgery. The objective of is analyze the activity of L cells according to the extension of the bilio-pancreatic loop in T2DM patients undergoing GDYR. This study 20 adults of both sexes, above 18 years,before and 6 moths after surgery baritric metabolic, randomized the bilio-pancreatic loop in a proportion of 1:1. Keywords: Roux-en-Y gastroplasty, Immunohistochemistry, L cell, GLP-1, type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to assess the antitumor activity and safety of JDQ443 single-agent as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbor a KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 expression < 1% regardless of STK11 mutation status (cohort A), or a PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% and an STK11 co-mutation (cohort B).
Recently, there has been an increase in the popularity of minimally invasive surgical techniques, including arthroscopic surgeries for shoulder procedures. Interscalene block is currently the gold standard technique for these surgeries, combined or not with general anesthesia. The last, when used in patients positioned in a beach chair can lead to serious hemodynamic and cerebral changes in the patients. Continuous non-invasive monitoring of the patient's cardiac output can provide data for better hemodynamics management compared to standard monitoring. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare hemodynamic changes (cardiac output, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation) and intraoperative cerebral oxygenation using peripheral cerebral saturation monitoring with continuous measurement of cardiac output or standard hemodynamic between two anesthetic techniques for shoulder surgery: interscalene block with sedation versus interscalene block with general anesthesia. The groups will be evaluated as follows: group 1 general anesthesia plus interscalene brachial plexus block and group 2 sedation plus interscalene brachial plexus block. Additionally, each group will be subdivided into two more groups, one with continuous hemodynamic monitoring and the other with standard hemodynamic monitoring, that is, a total of 4 groups in the study. The analyzed variables will include gender, age, ASA, medications in use, comorbidities. Furthermore, duration of procedure and in the anesthetic recovery room, blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, peripheral oxygen saturation, cerebral oxygen saturation, BIS value, cardiac index, etCO2 will be evaluated. Besides, length of hospital stay, delirium, behavioral status and postoperative complication will also be assessed.
Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare blood cancer, characterized by extensive fibrosis (scarring) of the bone marrow. It is one of a group of cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) in which bone marrow cells that produce blood cells develop and function abnormally. This study will evaluate treatment patterns, treatment outcomes, healthcare resource utilization in adult participants with Myelofibrosis. Data from approximately 1000 participants will be collected. No participants will be enrolled in this study. Participants' charts will be reviewed. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. The duration of the observation period is up to 156 weeks. There is no additional burden for participants in this trial. All visits must be completed prior to data extraction and participants will be followed for up to 156 weeks.
This randomized clinical trial evaluates the clinical and microbiological (microbial complexes and changes in the diversity of the submucosal biofilm) effects of MTZ+AMX as adjuncts to anti-infectious surgical treatment plus Er: YAG in the treatment of peri-implantitis.
