There are about 5551 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ZYIL1 oral capsule twice a day for 12 weeks for treatment of mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis resistant or intolerant to oral aminosalicylates.
Glycogen storage disorders (GSD) are a class of inborn metabolic abnormalities characterized by enzymatic defects in glycogen production or breakdown and are one of commonest metabolic disorders of the childhood. Their pathogenesis mostly involves the liver and muscles and can range in severity from minor disorders with a typical lifespan to those that are fatal in infancy. Different GSDs, such as type 0a, I, III (most common type), IV, VI, IX, and XI (based on specific gene variants) are now referred to as hepatic GSDs involving liver (+ muscle). GSDs show clinically in a wide range of ways, and they have typically been identified by combining clinical symptoms, biochemical data, and pathological findings. But due to lack of multicentre evaluation, there is persistent scarcity of data with regard to the overall spectrum of genetic defects in Indian children presenting with GSD, their natural course and genotype-phenotype correlation. Also, there is limited data on common genetic variations in Indian population causing hepatic glycogen storage diseases. An Indian GSD registry is needed to describe the spectrum, natural course, genotype-phenotype correlation, outcome and response to medical therapy in Indian children with GSDs. The study would be the first to extensively describe the genotype of Indian children with GSD and their natural course. Being a multicentric study, the results generated would therefore be applicable to the whole of the country. Understanding the prevalent genotypes in Indian population and their related phenotype would help both the individual management decisions of these patients and further policy making for their diagnosis and treatment. Results from this study could thus guide appropriate decision making based on outcome and help choose the modality of treatment for the individual patient - medical, or liver transplantation.
The value of clinical cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) within healthcare settings has been established in the last decade. CPET methods remain highly relevant in the COVID-19 endemic phase and should be used to assess those recovering from COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This diagnostic tool could play an integral role in disease prognostication and evaluate the integrative response to incremental exercise. Date from such assessments can enable practitioners to characterise cardio-respiratory fitness and identify reasons for physical impairment or abnormal cardio-respiratory function. More than 50% of patients admitted to hospital will experience cardiorespiratory issues and significant morbidity during their recovery and will require significant rehabilitative support. In this context, measurements obtained from an assessment of cardio-respiratory responses to physiological stress could provide insight regarding the integrity of the pulmonary-vascular interface and characterisation of any impairment or abnormal cardio-respiratory function. Current approaches to rehabilitation are being developed on existing knowledge from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related illness. These provide important insight but do not provide insight into the novel challenges provided by COVID-19.
ACLF is defined differently in APASL,EASL and AASLD.APASL talks of reversibility in ACLF as per its definition and constitution of Homogenous population with ACLF.The definition of ACLF as per APASL is an acute hepatic insult manifesting as jaundice (serum bilirubin ≥ 5 mg/dL (85 micromol/L) and coagulopathy (INR ≥ 1.5 or prothrombin activity <40%) complicated within 4 weeks by clinical ascites and/or encephalopathy in a patient with previously diagnosed or undiagnosed chronic liver disease/cirrhosis, and is associated with a high 28-day mortality .From the point of view of intensivists, events in form of organ dysfunction , failure or mortality would cumulatively effect the outcome.Reversibility of ACLF syndrome is a feature of the ACLF defined by the AARC criteria, as nearly all the patients included are after the index presentation.With mitigation of the acute insult and over time, the hepatic reserve improves ,fibrosis regresses and the portal pressure decreases. Further, unlike patients with decompensated cirrhosis and similar to patients with ALF, the reversal of coagulopathy preceded the reversal of jaundice,that is ,median time to reversal of syndrome, i.e jaundice and coagulopathy was 7 (4-30)days versus 19 (7-60)days for jaundice, respectively. The median time for reversal of syndrome, i.e, jaundice and coagulopathy ,was 30 days. Baseline albumin, AARC score and Transient elastography predicted long term reversibility .The disease severity assessment is needed for prognostication and to guide the therapy. Furthermore,the available prediction scores have been validated at baseline,but none has been evaluated in a dynamic manner for prognostication in ACLF patients.A DYNAMIC Model that could predict the reversibility in ACLF is urgently required.

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is seen as a blunted contractile responsiveness to stress, and/or altered diastolic relaxation with electrophysiological abnormalities, in absence of known cardiac disease. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with risk of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) , septic shock. , heart failure in the perioperative period following liver transplantation, and after trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion . The echocardiographic E/e' ratio is a predictor of survival in LVDD, with multiple studies, including prospective data from our Centre. The inability of the heart to cope with stress or sepsis induced circulatory failure is a key concept of the increased mortality risk due to LVDD. In view of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes epidemic and an increasing number of patients being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, there is increased risk of developing cardiac dysfunction due to multiple comorbidities including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which are contributors to overall cardiovascular risk of mortality.
The rationale of this study is to establish a robust method for assessing sun protection product efficacy in preventing erythema and tanning. Employing both artificial ultraviolet-A Irradiation and natural direct sunlight exposure, the investigation seeks to provide a reliable methodology, ensuring reproducibility and enabling a direct comparison between these methods. Meticulously determining optimal UV dosages, the study prioritizes inducing skin responses for evaluation while avoiding adverse effects like blistering. The localized validation of UV exposure techniques, tailored to the Indian population, contributes significantly to the field by addressing diverse skin types and environmental conditions. By incorporating both artificial and natural (direct sunlight) UV exposure methods, the study aspires to enhance the safety and effectiveness of future dermatological investigations, benefiting both the scientific community and the broader population.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
Brain tumors involve different age groups with a wide range of tumor types involving different anatomical compartments of the brain. The evolution of the brain in vertebrates, including the most recent homo species (including humans), has occurred through increasing structural complexity in more evolved species. In the retrospective study, we will investigate the location of the tumors and different structural aspects of skull anatomy in patients with brain tumors. The information will be compared with the anatomical evolution of the brain and skull in vertebrates to look for possible associations, which can provide insights into evolutionary biology.
