There are about 1039 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Slovenia. 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 the study is: 1. to analyze the success of operative stabilization of the patellar joint with the reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in terms of the subjective status of the knee, the general quality of life, and physical activity 2. to study the influence of specific preoperative (demographic and anamnestic data of the patient, radiological parameters of the knee joint) and intra-operative factors (place of femoral insertion of MPFL graft, patella height, degree of damage to the cartilaginous surfaces of the knee joint) on the subjective outcome of surgical treatment.
This study will collect information on side effects and how well Esperoct® (turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP)) works during long-term treatment (prophylaxis) in males with haemophilia A. Participants in this study will get the same treatment as they would normally get, if they were not participating in the study. All visits at the clinic are done in the same way as participants are used to, when visiting their doctor. During visits at the clinic participants might be asked for some relevant tests if considered useful by the study doctor. During the visits the study doctor might ask if participants had any side effects since the last study visit. Participants will be asked to note down in their own diary the number of bleeds and how these were treated, as well as their regular prophylaxis. Participation in the study will last for about 5-7 years, depending on when participants join the study. Participants are free to leave the study at any time and for any reason. This will not affect their current and future medical care.
The rationale of the ROSY-O study is to continue to provide study treatment for patients who have participated in a parent study with olaparib and who are continuing to derive clinical benefit from treatment at the end of such studies, as judged by the Investigator.
The study will evaluate the effect of intradermal injection of stromal vascular fraction into suture line on wound healing and scarring.
Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT), osteoarthrosis and impingement/instability syndrome are most common ankle joint pathologies. This study analyses outcome after various different operative treatment of aforementioned pathologies. Investigators hypothesis is that patient characteristics, type of lesion and surgical technique affect the result of treatment. The investigators will compare subjective (questionnaire) and objective (clinical examination) status of patient before and after operation.
Investigators will prospectively include 40 postmenopausal women with secondary osteoporosis due to primary hyperparathyroidism who have refused surgery. Participants will be randomized in two groups and treated either with zoledronic acid 5 mg iv once a year or with denosumab 60 mg sc every 6 months. Investigators will compare the effect of both drugs on bone turnover markers and basic laboratory parameters after 3, 12 and 24 months of treatment, and on the bone mineral density after 12 and 24 months of treatment. All participants will take cholecalciferol 800 - 1000 IU daily.
The EuroSIDA study is a prospective observational cohort study of 23,000+ patients followed in 100+ clinics in 35 European countries, Israel and Argentina. The study is the largest pan-European cohort study and few studies of a comparable design are available on a global scale. The EuroSIDA study is an ongoing collaboration and patients have been enrolled into the study through 11 cohorts since 1994. The main objective of the study remains the same as in 1994: to prospectively study, clinical, therapeutic, demographic, virological and laboratory data from HIV-1 positive persons across Europe in order to determine their long-term virological, immunological and clinical outcomes. Historically, EuroSIDA has been crucial in reporting key changes in the HIV epidemic, such as the dramatic changes in morbidity and mortality when combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) was first introduced. As new anti-HCV treatment is introduced to HIV/HCV co-infected patients, it is important for EuroSIDA to remain in the forefront of investigating the treatment benefits and adverse effects. All study documents, study status, newsletters, scientific publications and presentations are available online and are updated continuously at project website. In general terms, the objective of the EuroSIDA study is to continue a long-term, prospective collection of clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data as well as plasma on a large cohort of consecutive HIV infected patients from across Europe in order to (1) assess the factors associated with the clinical, immunological and virological course of HIV infection and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities, and (2) continue to provide and develop a surveillance system to describe temporal changes and regional differences in the clinical course of HIV and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities in Europe.
Postoperative brain damage and neuropsychological disorders have been observed in 30 - 80 % of patients after heart surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).They can persist up to a year after cardiac surgery and are associated with increased hospital mortality and prolonged intrahospital stay. Hypoperfusion,hyperthermia,atrial fibrillation,genetic predisposition and systemic inflammatory response associated with CPB have been identified as pathophysiological mechanisms.However, some authors consider cerebral embolisation to be the prevalent mechanism of intraoperative brain injury after cardiac surgery,as gaseous or solid cerebral emboli can cause ischemia, inflammation and edema,consequently causing cerebral infarctions usually resulting with stroke,coma,encephalopathy, delirium and cognitive decline. Additionally,they may impair cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). Aortic valve replacement (AVR) preformed by full sternotomy is the standard approach in the treatment of aortic valve disease. Minimally invasive (MIS) aortic valve replacement has been shown to reduce postoperative mortality, morbidity, and pain while providing faster recovery, a shorter hospital stay, and better cosmetic results. However, due to technically more demanding procedure, MIS may lead to prolonged CPB time and incomplete de-airing of the heart with an increased risk for cerebral gas embolization. Therefore, the choice of MIS might bear an augmented risk for brain injury. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) enables real time detection of intraoperative emboli in the cerebral arteries seen as microembolic signals (MES), and is an essential neuromonitoring tool. Several studies demonstrated correlation between the number of MES and the occurrence as well as severity of postoperative neurological complications. However, the factors contributing to brain injury have not been elucidated in those studies. The investigators speculate that impairment of CVR is an important mechanism that persists and prolongs the duration of brain injury into postoperative period. The aim of the study is to compare two surgical approaches used for AVR, with focus on the number of MES and their impact on levels of protein S100B (marker of brain tissue damage),postoperative CVR and cognitive function With the results,the investigators aim to help surgeons in selecting the appropriate technique for AVR in individual participants,as well as to clarify the effect of aortic valve surgery on the brain.
