Filter by:RATIONALE: Pompe disease (PD) is a recessive genetic disorder wherein the body cannot break down glycogen due to a mutation in the acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) gene, which encodes for acid alpha-glucosidase. The adult/late onset form (LOPD) leads to glycogen accumulation and autophagic buildup, causing progressive muscle weakness that leads to wheelchair dependence, reduced quality of life and premature death due to cardiorespiratory insufficiency. While nutritional strategies, such as the low carbohydrate/high protein and ketogenic diets, have been used clinically, they are difficult to maintain and have limited benefits. Multi-ingredient supplementation (MIS) allows for targeting of several underlying pathogenic pathways and may be more convenient than traditional dietary strategies, thereby improving both adherence and LOPD pathology.
Objective: the pre-hospital management of cancers is little known in General Medicine. The first lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of health facilities. Investigators were interested in the diagnosis and care pathway of digestive cancers in post-confinement in General Medicine in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Duration of Treatment: 7 days, 2 times per day. Following Randomization on Week 1 Day 1, Subjects will continue to have televisits and rate symptoms and upright activity weekly during a 5 week follow up. Subjects will be followed via in clinic visits at week 2/day 8 (+3/-0 days) and Week 6 / day 36, (+3/-3days). Subjects will receive a weekly televisit during Week 3 / day 15 (+3/-3), Week 4 / day 22 (+3/-3), and Week 5 / day 29 (+3/-3).
The overall study objectives outlined in this study are to derive 129Xe MRI pulmonary vascular biomarker signatures that differentiate common subtypes of PAH and to determine the ability of 129Xe MRI to longitudinally monitor disease progression and response to therapy in PAH, with the aid of additional assessments, such as labs, echocardiography, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD).
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study
A brief survey for the public to determine interest in health surveillance and disease detection
In this study, we will prospectively recruit 100,000 individuals, including gastric cancer patients who have not undergone any anti-tumor treatment and non-gastric cancer participants. We will construct a diagnostic model for malignant tumors based on the combination of tongue imaging, tongue coating, saliva, and fecal multi-omics data (including metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.). Additionally, it will explore the relationship between oral and intestinal microbiota and the development of malignant tumors.
Combining the results of previous studies and based on the clinical practice in our center, we designed the Venetoclax in combination with 3days-Decitabine regimen for induction therapy in elderly or unfit AML patients with a primary diagnosis, and set Venetoclax in combination with Azacitidine (VIALE-A) as a control group to compare the efficacy and safety and to provide evidence for the optimal selection of the clinical treatment regimen. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: To assess whether Venetoclax in combination with 3 days-diascitabine versus standard dose Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine improves event-free survival (EFS) in elderly or adult patients with unfit AML during the maximum follow-up period. Event-free survival was defined as the absence of events such as treatment failure, intolerance withdrawal, all-cause death, or achievement of CR or CRi, or relapse after MLFS, whichever occurred first, between patients' randomization and the maximum follow-up period. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve CR or CRi, MLFS after 2 courses of induction therapy.
Multiple site studies with the recruitment of other sub-investigators and sites. It's sobering to consider how chronic illness makes us more vulnerable to suicidal thoughts and behavior. However, the existence of multiple risk factors also means that there are numerous ways to intervene. Addressing and improving even one risk area will reverberate and improve other areas and the quality of life. RIVER Foundation is completing a 500-participant pilot study researching the safety of oral and nasal ketamine at home with no therapy. The pilot study examined three psychological scales: P.H.Q. 9, G.A.D. 7, and PCL5 scores. The interim report will be available in Nov 2023 with a final report in June 2024. The lack of knowledge for the average medical practitioner makes ketamine a boutique medicine, often costly and unaffordable to those in need. Yet daily medical providers are eliminating ketamine as a choice in the treatment of chronic conditions. The pilot study demonstrated the who, and where. The who, was adults with a chronic condition. The pilot study demonstrated the majority of those who could use ketamine are not receiving it due to cost. According to the 500-participant study, ketamine is safe and effective for at-home use thus demonstrating the where (at home with no supervision).
With aging, brain aging leads to a general decline in cognitive ability, and the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) increases. The prevalence of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism also increased with age. The imbalance of glucose and lipid metabolism is closely related to brain aging related conditions and diseases, and the relationship between glucose and lipid metabolism and brain aging has not been fully elucidated. Phase 1: Baseline investigation (community-based survey) Aims: To investigate whether glucose and lipids are the risk factors for brain aging-related conditions, such as mild cognitive impairment. Subjects and Methods: A community-based survey will be carried out in 10000 natural population aged >=50 years selected from 10-12 communities stratified according to geographic regions (Ciyao, Huafeng, Dongzhuang, Heshan, Geshi, Jiangji, Gangcheng, Fushan, Dongshu, Sidian, Baxianqiao, and Xiangyin, etc) in Ningyang County, Taian City, Shandong Province. A comprehensive examination including questionnaire (including the MMSE and ADL evaluation for the participants), anthropometric measurements, biochemical analysis will be performed in each study participant. In particular, the investigators randomly selected 1000-2000 participants performing MRI of the brain to evaluate the brain aging related conditions. Phase 2: Cohort follow-up Aims : To examine glucose and lipids metabolism levels and their changes that modify the risk of brain aging-related conditions. Subjects and Methods: To recruit and follow all 10000 participants for at least 3-5 years. In particular, all 1000-2000 participants with the baseline MRI examination will perform the MRI examination again for the follow-up.
