There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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 purpose of this study is to investigate the cost of treatment and adverse efffects therof corresponds to quality of life improvements and expected wheightloss.
The aim of this study is to screen a well characterized patient population with ventricular tachycardia of unknown origin and treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for mutations in the calmodulin genes.
Atelectasis is common during and after general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesized that a ventilation strategy with a combination of 1) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and 2) a reduced end-expiratory oxygen fraction (FETO2) before commencing mask ventilation with CPAP after extubation would reduce the area of postoperative atelectasis.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with 600 mg of BID BI 207127 in combination with 120 mg QD Faldaprevir and RBV compared to a Telaprevir-based regimen along with PegIFN and RBV in chronically infected HCV GT1 treatment naïve patients, including patients with compensated cirrhosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the early changes in gut hormonal, and other metabolites with known relations to the glycemic homeostasis. The study mainly focus on these responses to food in the diabetic patient, compared to the non-diabetic, after gastric bypass surgery. Also aiming for recording changes in the earliest postoperative phase.
This study compares Spironolactone, a non-selective aldosterone antagonist, with Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone antagonist, regarding efficacy and hormonal side effects when treating male cirrhotic patients with uncomplicated ascites over a 6 month period. The investigators hypothesis is that Eplerenone is as effective as Spironolactone as treatment of ascites with less side effects such as painful gynecomastia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of anesthesia on the esophageal body in obese patients before and during anesthesia.
The purpose with this study is to investigate whether gastric bypass surgery and the following weight reduction impact the tone in esophageal sphincters and the esophageal function. In a previous study our group used high resolution solid-state manometry to investigate the pressure in the esophagus and esophageal sphincters in obese patients going through laparoscopic bariatric surgery. These studies showed that the barrier pressure between the stomach and esophagus is significantly lower in obese compared to lean patients. In this study the investigators will examine these patients once more, now after weight reduction to see whether the barrier pressure is back to normal compared to lean patients.
Double bypass (hepaticojejunostomy + gastrojejunostomy) is compared to stent strategy in patients planned for curative pancreatic resection in whom peroperative findings makes resection impossible.
The overall aim is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a self-help program via internet aiming at preventing development and maintenance of cancer-related emotional distress among adolescents with cancer.
