There are about 5618 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.
This in- vivo study was conducted to evaluate the response of human pulp tissue following direct pulp capping using four different pulp capping agents in premolars scheduled for extraction in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
The aim of this randomised control trial is to compare the effect of different concentrations of NaOCl on outcome of partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. clinical and radiographic outcome of partial pulpotomy following use of 5% and 3% NaOCl in mature permanent teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis. 2. OHRQoL and pain experience after use of 5% and 3% NaOCl during partial pulpotomy in teeth with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis.
SUMMARY TITLE: "Effect of endodontic treatment on inflammatory markers, disease activity and periapical healing in rheumatoid arthritis patients with apical periodontitis" RATIONALE: Chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis as subjects present with elevated serum levels of numerous cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, 1L-12, IL-17, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, RANK and RANK Ligand. Periodontal and pulpal inflammation are two major low grade chronic inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity. Apical periodontitis extends from the chronic inflammatory process that originated in the dental pulp to surround the apex of the tooth. Thus Rheumatoid arthritis and apical periodontitis converge upon common pathway of inflammation. The scientific literature has also shown to provide potential link between endodontic infection and rheumatoid arthritis. The evidence of increased prevalence of apical periodontitis in subjects of rheumatoid arthritis is provided mainly by cross-sectional and case control studies. Interventional studies have been performed in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease, with results depicting beneficial effect of periodontal therapy in patients of rheumatoid arthritis. To best of our knowledge no interventional study has been performed to assess the healing pattern of apical periodontitis in subjects of rheumatoid arthritis and subsequently effect of endodontic intervention on inflammatory profile and disease burden in the same.
The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the efficacy of Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF-1) on bone regeneration in intrabony defects.
Both isoflurane and propofol are being used to give anaesthesia for living donor liver transplant in our institute. Propofol when compared to isoflurane has advantages like early awakening from anaesthesia, reduced nausea, vomiting in the postoperative period. Propofol also has antioxidant properties. Because of its antioxidant properties propofol may have a protective effect against oxidative stress and ischemia reperfusion injury in major organs during liver transplant surgery. However, there are no studies showing the effect of isoflurane and propofol on Intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative liver and kidney functions.Thus, we are conducting this study to know the effect of these agents on intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative liver and kidney function.
In 2012, the World Health Assembly (WHA) endorsed the proposed Polio Endgame Strategy, which includes withdrawal of the Sabin-virus type 2 antigen-responsible for an estimated 95% of vaccine derived cases of polio by replacing the trivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) in the routine immunization schedule with a bivalent OPV that lacks the type 2 Sabin virus. Since the WHA resolution, all countries that were solely using OPV have either introduced Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) into their routine immunization schedule or decided to introduce IPV but have been unable to secure supply. The global demand for IPV has therefore substantially increased in just a few years. Many initiatives are ongoing to meet the increasing demand for IPV. One potential approach is the reduction of the amount of antigen per vaccine dose. Therefore, to enhance the affordability, effectiveness and accessibility of IPV. SIIPL has manufactured hexavalent combination vaccine containing diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b and a reduced dose of three IPV antigens. Based on available published data, reduction of the antigen content of each of the three poliovirus types in IPV is feasible, without substantially compromising the immunogenicity of the vaccine. Advantages of a reduction in antigen content are two-fold: increased availability of IPV and reduced cost, both of major importance for the global eradication programme.
The objective of this post marketing observational registry is to evaluate clinical outcomes (safety and performance) in an all-comers population with coronary artery disease (CAD) treated with the Polymer Free Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent Vivo ISAR and planned for an abbreviated (≤ 3 months) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimen.
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.
