There are about 4372 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Greece. 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.
This study is looking at semaglutide in combination with a potential new medicine (NNC0480-0389) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study is being conducted to see how well semaglutide, in combination with different doses of NNC0480-0389, work to lower blood sugar levels. Results from this study will be used to select the doses of the two medicines for other studies. Participants will either get: Semaglutide (a medicine doctors can already prescribe for treatment of type 2 diabetes) in combination with NNC0480-0389 (a potential new medicine) or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine that looks like the medicines but without any medicine). NNC0480-0389 alone, or semaglutide alone which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participant will need to take 2-3 injections once every week during the study. One injection will be with semaglutide or placebo and 1-2 injections will be with NNC0480-0389 or placebo. Participant must inject the study medicines themself into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. The study will last for about 41weeks. Participant will have 20 clinic visits. Participant will have blood samples taken at all clinic visits. At 3 clinic visits, participant will also have an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test to check participants heart. Participant will have their eyes checked before or at the start of the study and at the end of the study. Women can only take part in the study if they are not able to become pregnant
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Halliwick concept in the adapted Snoezelen multi-sensory environment, in the gross mobility of children belonging to the autism spectrum.
Dance for Parkinson's Disease® (DfPD®) is a structured dance program that has never been evaluated in Greek PD population. This study assesses for the first time the efficacy, safety and feasibility of DfPD® program in Greek PD patients. A total of 16 early-to-mid-stage PD patients underwent a total of 16 60-min classes of adjusted to Greek music and dance culture DfPD®, twice weekly, over 8 weeks. Assessments were performed at baseline and at the end of the study period and included quality of life, depressive symptoms, fatigue, cognitive functions, balance and body mass index. Safety and feasibility were also assessed.
Recently, the concept of physiological pacing has emerged in the clinical practice, in an attempt to prevent the deteriorating effects of right ventricular pacing in the long-term. Left bundle branch pacing seems to be a safe procedure with promising results that may prevent intraventricular dyssynchony compared with the conventional right ventricular pacing.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, 195 million people have been infected and 4.2 million have died from the disease or its side-effects. Physicians, healthcare scientists and medical staff continuously try to deal with overloaded hospital admissions, while in parallel, they try to identify meaningful correlations between the severity of infected patients with their symptoms, comorbidities and biomarkers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been used recently in many areas related to COVID-19 healthcare. The main goal is to manage effectively the wide variety of issues related to COVID-19 and its consequences. The existing applications of ML to COVID-19 healthcare are based on supervised classification which require a labeled training dataset, serving as reference point for learning, as well as predefined classes. However, the existing knowledge about COVID-19 and its consequences is still not solid and the points of common agreement among different scientific communities are still unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to follow an unsupervised clustering approach, where prior knowledge is not required (tabula rasa). More specifically, 268 hospitalized patients at the First Propaedeutic Department of Internal Medicine of AHEPA University Hospital of Thessaloniki were assessed in terms of 40 clinical variables (numerical and categorical), leading to a high-dimensionality dataset. Dimensionality reduction was performed by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the numerical part of the dataset and Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) on the categorical part of the dataset. Then, the Bayesian Information Criterion(BIC) was applied to Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) in order to identify the optimal number of clusters, under which, the best grouping of patients occurs. The proposed methodology identified 4 clusters of patients with similar clinical characteristics. The analysis revealed a cluster of asymptomatic patients that resulted in death at a rate of 23.8%. This striking result forces us to reconsider the relationship between the severity of COVID-19 clinical symptoms and patient's mortality.
This study ought to identify the occurence of the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the pumonary emoblism (PE) in patients undergoing elective primary THA & TKA
The modified Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mPAS) questionnaire as given in the article by Viola et al, will be used after permission from the authors, to investigate the preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing surgery during the 4th wave of the pandemic
The first phase of this study will be a parallel, 12-week treatment, Phase 2, double-blind, 4 arm study to assess the safety and effectiveness of 3 oral doses of SAR444671 (rilzabrutinib), i.e. dose A, B and C, compared with placebo for decreasing the frequency and severity of itch and urticaria in male and female participants aged 18 years inclusive or older with CSU. After completion of the double-blind phase of the study, participants will be given the option of enrolling in the 40-week open label extension (OLE) phase of the study. Participants will receive open-label rilzabrutinib at dose C (the dose may be modified based on the 12-week safety and efficacy data). Due to the fact that some participants may be receiving rilzabrutinib for the first time, all participants will be monitored at Week 14, Week 16, Week 20, and Week 24. Afterwards, participants will be monitored at Week 36 and Week 52.
Acidification of vaginal pH has been proposed as a potential factor that could help increase the efficacy of vaginal prostaglandins in labor induction. The aim of the present randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of an acidic vaginal pH on the progress of labor induction with dinoprostone (Prostaglandin E2 - PGE2) vaginal tablet.
