There are about 48 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kyrgyzstan. 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 study evaluates respiratory acclimatization in healthy lowlanders staying for 3 weeks at 3200 m.
Randomized, placebo controlled trial evaluating efficacy of dexamethasone in preventing sleep related breathing disturbances in lowlanders with chronic obstructive lung disease travelling from 700 m to 3200 m.
Randomized, placebo controlled trial evaluating efficacy of dexamethasone in preventing acute mountain sickness in lowlanders with chronic obstructive lung disease travelling from 700 m to 3200 m.
A cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Kyrgyz Republic and WHO-EURO was established, for the implementation of a WHO Project to improve the quality of pediatric care in the referral hospitals. The pilot regions selected for this intervention are the three northern regions of Thalas, Chiu and Issik-Kul Region in Kyrgyz Republic. The MOH project will be implemented at a first stage in a group of 10 pilot hospitals, randomly selected among the existing hospitals in the above cited regions. Pilot Hospitals will be compared to "control hospitals", which are the hospitals in the region not receiving the intervention, using a pre-defined set of indicators of quality of care. The results of the present evaluation on the pilot hospitals will provide data that will inform the MOH on how better to scale up this project at a national scale.
High altitude pulmonary hypertension, a form of altitude illness that occurs in long-term residents at altitudes >2500 m, is characterized by dyspnea, hypoxemia, impaired exercise performance and hypertension in the pulmonary circulation. Whether sleep related breathing disturbances, common causes of nocturnal hypoxemia in lowlanders, are also prevalent in highlanders and promote pulmonary hypertension in highlanders is unknown. Therefore, the current study will investigate whether highlanders with high altitude pulmonary hypertension have a greater prevalence of sleep apnea than healthy highlanders and lowlanders.
The primary goal of this international non-interventional study is to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of vardenafil (film-coated tablet) in Erectile Dysfunction patients with the Metabolic Syndrome in daily clinical practice. It will include a large number of patients with various underlying conditions with different cultural and demographic backgrounds from different geographic areas.
Prospective, non-interventional, multi-center study. The observation period for each subject covers the treatment period with Gadovist®. For each patient, the treating physician or nurse documents demographics, medical data, safety parameters and treatment signs and symptoms at the visit. Patients with severe renal impairment will be followed-up after 3 month by phone call from the investigator if in line with routine practice. Data audit/monitoring by source data verification will be done in a subset of sites and patients
Body iron levels may be important in determining how the blood pressure in the lungs changes in response to low oxygen levels. At high altitude, where oxygen levels are low, some patients develop elevated lung blood pressure. The investigators hypothesize that, in high altitude residents with elevated lung blood pressure, iron supplementation will cause a reduction in lung blood pressure.
