There are about 5012 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Mexico. 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.
Randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) supplemented with lipid emulsions containing 0.1-0.2 g omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA)/kg body weight/day for 7 days on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a marker of lipoperoxidation of reactive species, compared with a control group (without n-3 PUFA) in patients with intestinal failure (IF).
The widely observed inverse relationship between smoking and Parkinson's Disease (PD) and the results of numerous preclinical studies indicating neuroprotective effects of nicotine, suggest a possible novel intervention in PD. In our opinion, an optimal nicotinic therapy in PD would consist of pulsatile nicotine delivery (e.g. via nasal spray) similar to pulsatile nicotine obtained via smoking. The investigators believe that pulsatile stimulation of the central nicotinic receptors (achievable via nasal spray) would affect the dynamic of the nicotinic receptors much more desirably and similar to smoking compared to continuous nicotine administration via patch, which might result in continuous nicotinic receptor desensitization. Thus, this pilot trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy of nicotine nasal spray (Nicotrol NS®) in symptomatology of PD. For this purpose, a total of 6 non-smoking patients at intermediate disease stages (2-3 of Hoehn and Yahr scale) and receiving conventional therapy for PD will be recruited at the "Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía, (Manuel Velasco Suárez)" in Mexico City. Nicotrol NS® in incremental dosing (up to 10 mg/day) regimens will be added to the current medications to each patient during the first week. This will be maintained for up to 1 month. Motor and non-motor aspects of PD will be evaluated. The investigators expect significant improvement of motor and non-motor symptoms in all patients receiving Nicotrol NS® during therapy and a reversal during withdrawal.
Within the context of intensive care units (ICU), enteral nutrition (NE) is an essential tool in the management of critical patients. Gastrointestinal dysfunction causes significant difficulties in implementing enteral nutrition, and constitutes one of the main medical or non-avoidable causes to avoid enteral feeding in critically ill patients. Gastric ultrasound is a validated tool to non-invasively evaluate gastric volume and content. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of this test in critically ill patients for initiation and tolerance of the enteral feeding.
Surgical management of Morbid Obesity is increasingly frequent. A low-calorie diet is recommended with the main goal of reducing intrahepatic fat infiltration, fat tissue and making easier the surgery. Information the use pharmacological interventions during the preoperative period in this population are rare.
This study sought to determine if the inadequate protein intake per meal (defined as eating <30 g protein or 0.4 g protein/kg body mass) at specific meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) is associated with functionality in middle to older aged Mexican adults. Functionality was evaluated with self-reported questionnaires to assess their functionality score for different activities of daily living.
Assessment of PF-06700841 in participants with moderate to severe active, generalized Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that have inadequate response to standard of care.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of cefepime/VNRX-5133 compared with meropenem in both eradication of bacteria and in symptomatic response in patients with cUTIs.
The objective of this cluster-randomized efficacy feeding trial was to determine the effects of consuming iron-biofortified beans (Fe-Beans) on iron status in children, compared to control beans (Control-Beans). A cluster-randomized trial of biofortified beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L), bred to enhance iron content, was conducted for 6 months.
The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical performance of habitual wearers of methafilcon A toric lenses after a refit with fanfilcon A toric lenses for 1-month of daily wear.
The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical performance of habitual wearers of methafilcon A aspheric lenses after a refit with fanfilcon A sphere lenses for 4 weeks of daily wear.
