The efficacy of natural foods such as freeze-dried mare's milk (Saumal) in post-COVID syndrome therapy has not been studied. The literature review has shown that researchers have focused more on evidence-based medications and less on natural products. Some raw foods, such as freeze-dried mare's milk, contribute to forming complete immune complexes and have antioxidant, membrane stabilizing, and antiviral effects. The use of Saumal proved its effectiveness in patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C. After 4 weeks of using freeze-dried mare's milk, the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiome was increased. The content of bacteria secreting short-chain fatty acids also increased. The study aims to confirm these effects at the gene level in patients who underwent COVID-19. This study will allow us to develop a highly evidence-based component of rehabilitation therapy in patients after COVID-19.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are not have specific clinical signs, they masquerade as other diseases, and are difficult to diagnose using only clinical manifestations or routine laboratory tests. IEM most commonly manifest in early infancy and childhood. Despite the fact that most IEM are rare in the population, they occupy one of the first places in the structure of childhood pathology, early infant mortality and disability. IEM often remains undiagnosed, while timely diagnosis and timely treatment started can prevent severe systemic damage leading to death and disability. The appointment of a special treatment (diet therapy, cofactors, enzyme replacement therapy) prevents or significantly inhibits the development of the pathological process, especially if the diagnosis is made in the early stages of the disease. To start pathogenetic treatment as early as possible, it is necessary to diagnose IEM as accurately and as early as possible. Among the diseases included in mass screening programs IEM are especially important due to the development of disability and early mortality in the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, as well as a high risk of recurrence in burdened families. In this connection, the main goals of mass screening - the prevention of disability in children and the reduction of early infant mortality - dictate the need to introduce modern technologies for preclinical diagnosis of IEM. Based on the results of the study, it is planned to scientifically substantiate the need for the introduction of selective screening of children for hereditary metabolic diseases using the technology of tandem mass spectrometry in the Republic of Kazakhstan for timely diagnosis, therapy of IEM and prevention of disability. The introduction of a selective newborn screening program for IEM should always be preceded by a study aimed at studying the prevalence of the disease in a certain region, determining regional reference values of the studied metabolites. Local incidence and outcome data can be used to persuade health officials to prioritize screening in health care spending. The main scientific question and hypothesis of the project is whether it is necessary to introduce tandem mass spectrometry technology in the neonatal screening program for IEM.
The combined use of dexamethasone and oxymetazoline has a vasoconstrictive, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect when applied topically in diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The main goal of this research is Evaluation of the effectiveness of Dospray® nasal spray in the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis. The study will involve 126 patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis: 1. Patients taking Dospray = 63 2. Patients on other alternative treatment = 63 Duration of Patient Participation - 7-10 days (duration of treatment for an individual patient).
The goal of this exploratory phase I/II single-center clinical trial is to evaluate effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of Intravenous D-isoascorbic Acid (D-VC) With Arsenic Trioxide in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Who Have Exhausted Standard Therapy The main questions are to learn about effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of Intravenous D-isoascorbic Acid (D-VC) With Arsenic Trioxide. The study aims to: 1. Assess the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of D-isoascorbic acid (D-VC) with a single intravenous injection in the monotherapy regimen and in the sequential administration regimen with arsenic trioxide (ATO) in patients on standard therapy for advanced/metastatic malignancies (Phase I) 2. Evaluate the efficacy and safety of D-isoascorbic acid (D-VC) with repeated intravenous administration in the mode of sequential administration with arsenic trioxide (ATO) in patients who have exhausted standard therapy for advanced/metastatic colorectal cancer (Phase II) In phase I participants will receive single intravenous administration as monotherapy of D-isoascorbic acid (D-VC) with dose escalation (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 g/kg/day) and with arsenic trioxide (ATO). Patients who have satisfactorily tolerated the study drug in combination with arsenic trioxide (ATO) in a phase I study are transferred to a phase II clinical trial. To study the safety and efficacy of the study drug in phase II, D-VC after the administration of ATO will be implemented in 2 groups: Study group 1: ATO (at a dose of 0.15 mg / kg / day) after intravenous administration after 2 hours D-VC intravenously once a day at the maximum tolerated dose, determined at the end of phase I for at least 15 patients. Group 2 standard therapy: 15 patients. For the phase I researchers will compare laboratory tests (including clinical biochemistry and hematology), vital signs, clinical adverse events (diseases, symptoms and complaints) and other specific safety tests (for example, an electrocardiogram, ophthalmic examination) between groups. They will also measure the degree to which overt adverse reactions can be subjectively tolerated by the subject of the study. For the phase II researchers will compare degrees of tumor volume reduction on CT; objective response rate (ORR) based on BICR according to RECIST v1.1 between test and standard therapy groups. They will also continue evaluation of safety and tolerability of ATO + D-VC combination therapy.
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
Central Asia (CA) represents the most rapidly growing HIV epidemic region worldwide, concentrated in people who inject drugs (PWID) and their sexual partners, and scaling up opioid agonist therapies (OAT) in this region is the most cost-effective strategy to prevent new HIV infections, and more effective when combined with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The investigators propose to use the Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) implementation strategy to scale-up OAT in three diverse Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and guided by the Exploration-Planning-Implementation-Sustainment (EPIS) framework. Understanding the trajectories of implementation and scale-up in this context may emerge through creating communities of practice, especially when cohesion and competence evolves, and may guide other healthcare delivery challenges in the region (e.g., HIV, TB); as well as build important regional expertise and understanding implementation trajectories should help support OAT program sustainability.
