There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. 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 goal of this interventional study is to create hepatocellular carcinoma organoids from liver bioptic samples of individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the feasibility of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids integrated with host gut microbiota and peripheral blood mononuclear cells - the molecular pattern of the organoid tumor microenvironment - the in vitro therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids
RASopathies are a group of syndromes caused by variants in genes belonging to the RAS/MAPK pathway. Pain is a neglected topic in RASopathies but it is frequently complained by affected individuals.
The prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) varies between 11.9% and 19.2% during the perinatal period. PPD refers to minor and major depression incidents that occur during pregnancy or shortly after (up until 12 months after birth). The symptoms of PPD embrace feeling sad or having a depressed mood, being uninterested in the new-born, unreasonable crying and fear of injuring or harming the baby. Consequently, PPD can negatively impact the mother's well-being and the baby's development. The impact on a child can be short for cognitive and motor development . Although medication is a feasible alternative, many women have constraints due to continuing breastfeeding. Therefore, exercise can be an alternative that could help to deal with PPD. Exercise can be used as a preventive or treatment of mild depression at an early stage and as an addition to a treatment plan for major depressive disorder. Exercising during pregnancy and postpartum improves psychological health and also benefits physical fitness, weight gain control and the prevention or reduction of musculoskeletal discomfort and pain. Therefore, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists has recommended that women during pregnancy and postpartum engage in moderate-intensity physical activity almost every day for 30 min a day
The aim of this multicenter nonrandomised study is to prospectively compare the clinical and radiographic results of two different techniques of surgical fixation of proximal humeral fractures: percutaneous pinning versus plate and screws.
A Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study to collect clinical data on safety and performance of all Teknimed Arthroplasty range of products: CEMFIX® and GENTAFIX® bone cements families and CEMSTOP® cement restrictor, and all their private labels. Teknimed bone cements and cement restrictor are legacy products, some marketed for more than 20 years. Their performance and safety have already been demonstrated by Post-Market Surveillance and previous clinical studies. The current Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up study aims to confirm these claims by collecting data in a "real-life" setting. The study is a retrospective and prospective global, single arm, non-controlled, multicentric, ambispective observational study. Patients will be followed as per local standard medical care of the site.
Recent studies have shown that the aperiodic part of the signal (neuronal avalanches) of electroencephalography (EEG) contains important information about the dynamics of neuronal networks. Indeed, this has helped to identify functionally altered areas in patients with temporal epilepsy by simply using the resting EEG signal. Furthermore, it has been seen that the propagation of neuronal avalanches (VNs) correlates with the morphological organization of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, NAs represent a measure with direct utility for studying functional reorganization pre and post drug/surgical treatment. In addition, the aperiodic portion of the signal may represent a noninvasive measure of the excitation/inhibition relationship, which is known of being altered both in epilepsy and in some rare neurodevelopmental syndromes (example: Angelman and Dup15q)
qNOX and ANI are two indexes evaluting the analgesia conduction during general anesthesia. No trials have compared them, so with this trial authors want to explore the correlations between them.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin alone on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and albuminuria. This study will evaluate the effect of the balcinrenone/dapagliflozin on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), compared with dapagliflozin in patients with CKD. This is a dose-finding study aiming to identify an optimal dose of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin for a future Phase III study in patients with CKD.
CONOX is a neuromonitoring EEG- device for sedation (qCON) and analgesia (qNOX) monitoring during general anesthesia. It is unknown on how the indicies can differentiate themselves so aim of this study is to determine the relationship bewtween the 2 indicies.
Low back pain, associated with intrinsic disorders of the spine, is a very frequent clinical condition that is accompanied by high morbidity with effects both on psychosocial aspects, and health care system. It occurs in approximately 80% of the population throughout their lives. Most low back pain is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) associated with neuroinflammation and pain. In this context, the study of sphingolipid metabolism can play an important role in the identification of new molecules responsible for the degenerative process. Sphingolipids, in fact, are a class of molecules that are implicated in multiple signal pathways, such as proliferation, degradation of the extracellular matrix, inflammatory state, apoptosis and migration. In particular, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), an intermediate of sphingolipid metabolism, acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator, predominantly in the extracellular environment, regulating important cellular properties related to inflammatory potential and pain. The objective of this study is to characterize the degenerative process in cells isolated from degenerated human intervertebral discs from both at cellular and molecular levels in order to identify new targets implicated in degenerative processes, including sphingolipid signaling pathway.
