Filter by:Vitamin D has been considered to possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity which may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis (CP) and coronary heart disease (CHD). This study investigated the association between serum vitamin D levels and periodontitis in patients with CP and with CHD. Furthermore, the objective was to determine if periodontitis and CHD had an impact on serum vitamin D levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of patisiran in participants with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) with disease progression after liver transplant.
From May 2016 till May 2018 all breast cancer patients with operable disease submitted to surgery after neoadjuvant treatment would be divided in four groups considering initially clinical axillary stage, axillary procedure that was done, axillary response to preoperative systemic treatment and pathological axillary stage. In first postoperative year all patients will be monitored for appearance of locoregional and distant recurrence.
The primary purpose of the study is to characterize the current standard of care, clinical course, and outcomes of pregnant women and their offspring at high risk for early onset severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (EOS-HDFN).
This phase II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68 DOTA-NeoBOMB1 and gallium Ga 68 PSMA-R2 positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work in diagnosing participants with prostate cancer that has come back. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68 DOTA-NeoBOMB1 and gallium Ga 68 PSMA-R2 PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
This study will explore the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) on disease progression in subjects aged 2 through 5 years with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for F508del (F/F).
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG), a significant risk factor for diabetes mellitus (DM), is commonly encountered in the primary care setting and represents an important target for DM prevention. However, data on the long term risk of progression from IFG to DM among Chinese subjects and associated risk factors are currently lacking; appropriate DM prevention programme for this group cannot be yet established. This is a prospective cohort study that aims to estimate the incidence of progression to diabetes mellitus (DM) among Chinese primary care patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) over a 3-year period and evaluate putative risk factors. A prospective cohort of around 700 non-diabetic Chinese adults who had IFG (i.e. fasting glucose level between 5.6 to 6.9mmol/L) and received baseline assessment between May 2013 and March 2015 at 3 public primary care clinics across Hong Kong will be invited for a 36-month-follow-up glycaemic status assessment (i.e. to repeat 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HbA1c test). The OGTT results will be used as the gold standard for the diagnosis of DM, normoglycaemia, IFG and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) state. Demographics and lifestyle of the subjects including age, gender, occupation, education level, socio-economic status, smoking and drinking history, diet, exercise, work-sleep pattern, stress, quality of life and family history will be collected using standardized questionnaire. Participant's medical history and drug history will be retrieved from the Clinical Management System (CMS) of the Hospital Authority. Lipid profile, blood pressure, waist circumference and body mass index will also be assessed. Logistic regression model will be performed to determine if these variables are associated with progression from IFG to DM. The primary outcome is the incidence of DM among the IFG study population. The secondary outcomes are the risks of developing DM among subjects with isolated IFG or combined IFG/IGT and determinants of progression to DM. Knowledge on the natural history of isolated IFG or combined IFG/IGT among Hong Kong Chinese primary care patients and the significant modifiable associated risk factors for progression to DM will enable primary care researchers to design optimal management programme for diabetes prevention among these high risk patients.
In this follow-up trial, MRI and CT images of the lung will be acquired prospectively in a subcohort of 370 patients, three years after they successfully participated in the first COSYCONET subtrial with CT and MRI ("MR-COPD I", NCT (clinical.Trials.gov identifier) 02629432). The objective is to obtain longitudinal data from a well-characterized collective of COPD patients in order to identify suitable image-based biomarkers to improve the prognosis of disease progression of COPD in comparison to clinical tests
What Comes After Fulvestrant? A Real World Multicenter Retrospective Study-Treatment After Progression of Fulvestrant Among Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients in China.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation among cholesterol uptake capacity which measure HDL functionality, neoathrosclerosis and target-lesion revascularization.
