Filter by:The amount of active ingredient in tablet form of flurbiprofen is higher than that in the oral spray form. Therefore, based on the hypothesis that the side effects that may occur depending on the dose can be reduced, this clinical study investigated whether tablet and spray form flurbiprofen would have similar effects on postoperative pain in primarily closed soft tissue wounds in the oral region.
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a group of clinical syndromes. Treatment options are very limited. The results of a previous clinical study showed good efficacy and a high safety profile of herombopag in improving thrombocytopenia, but this result needs to be supported by more data. In our study, patients who were willing to participate in this study and were diagnosed with transfusion-dependent non-heavy aplastic anemia were randomized to the rhTPO combined with herombopag + cyclosporine group and given rhTPO (at a dose of 1500 U by subcutaneous injection once daily for 7 d, 28 d for 3 courses) +Herombopag(10 mg/day for 3 months) + cyclosporine (3-5 mg/kg/d for 3 months). -5 mg/kg/d for at least 6 months) and herombopag + cyclosporine (10 mg/day for 3 months) + cyclosporine (3-5 mg/kg/d for at least 6 months) in the herombopag+ cyclosporine group to observe the efficacy and safety.
This study aims to find effective dose of remimazolam for inducing loss of consciousness in children aged 2 to 8 years old. We will explore ED90 of remimazolam for loss of consciousness in 2 minutes after intravenous injection, via a up-and-down method with biased-coin design.
Wide variability in the antiplatelet effects of aspirin may lead to recurrent thromboembolic events. Several pilot studies have suggested potential benefits of taking aspirin at bedtime rather than in the morning. The primary objective of this study is to examine whether aspirin administration at bedtime versus in the morning provides a superior reduction in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events among patients with or without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, who are already taking aspirin.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as either renal damage and/ or a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for more than 3 months. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is defined as GFR below 15 mL/min/1.73 m2. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an insidious disease that develops early in the course of CKD and increase in severity as the GFR deteriorates. High serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) are known to cause high turnover bone disease, i.e. osteitis fibrosa and have also been reported to increase the mortality risk in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Standard therapy for SHPT includes dietary calcium supplementation, active vitamin D, and phosphate binders; however, these are often insufficient to allow patients to achieve their serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and calcium-phosphorus product (Ca × P) targets. Recent preclinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with calcimimetics that increase the sensitivity of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) to calcium can reverse the alterations in CaR and vitamin D receptor expression and parathyroid cell proliferation that are associated with SHPT. Calcimimetics such as cinacalect are positive allosteric modulators of the calcium-sensing receptor that increase its sensitivity by lowering the threshold for activation by extracellular calcium ions. The calcimimetic cinacalcet mainly increases the sensitivity of the CaR to extracellular Ca, thus inhibiting the release of PTH, although, as recently shown, it also decreases PTH synthesis. Growth hormone (GH) indirectly promotes the growth of child by stimulating the production of insulin like growth factor (IGF-1), many children with renal disease have normal or elevated level of GH in their blood otherwise the levels of IGF-1 are low because the approximately 98% of IGF-1 is always bound to one of binding proteins (BP) inside the liver, so this accumulated protein will reduce the function of IGF-1. Using cinacalcet in controlling hyperparathyroidism may reduce growth problems in children with ESRD with regular hemodialysis.
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the anaesthetic efficacy of 1.8 and 3.6 mL of Articaine for inferior alveolar nerve block when treating mandibular molars with Irreversible Pulpitis
This is an exploratory study to describe the pharmacokinetics of the azithromycin oral and rectal oleogel in humans compared to the reference oral drug to (Zithromax) assess the impact of the novel formulation on bioavailability. The investigators will perform a randomized, balanced, single dose, three-treatment, three-period, crossover oral bioavailability study under fasted conditions to evaluate the safety and tolerability of azithromycin oleogel and compare the bioavailability of the azithromycin oleogel to the reference drug.
To observe the sedative effect and safety of remiazolam combined with small dose of esketamine in painless bidirectional endoscopy in children, and to provide a more reasonable and safe sedative and analgesic regimen for children's gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Can antibiotic drugs be administered faster and make acceptable serum concentrations if we give short but multiple infusions compared to long and fewer infusions? In this study we will compare giving meropenem 1 gram 6 times daily in 15 minutes infusions to the recommended 2 gram 3 times daily in 3 hours infusions. In patients in the intensive care unit, the need for intravenous access is of essence. If 6 short infusions results in the same serum concentrations as 3 long infusions, we will increase intravenous access from 15 to 22.5 hours daily.
A five-year prospective observational cohort study. The study is focused on observing the relation between static germline variants and therapeutic response in Indian children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The project is an International multicenter setup. This collaborative research project between Switzerland and India includes one main center in Geneva that has conceptualized, designed, received grants for the study and two investigating centers in India (Puducherry and New-Delhi) involved in study design, patient care and recruitment for this specific study. All the participants for the study will be recruited form these two centers in India, and no patient recruitment is planned at main center i.e. Geneva. The study will be conducted in two phases. The first aims to investigate genetic predisposition (static germline variants) to early chemotherapy treatment related toxicities (TRTs). The second aims to investigate somatic genetic markers associated with the efficacy of steroid treatment among patients undergoing the standardized IciCLe-ALL-14 treatment protocol. A total of 500 children with ALL will be recruited to investigate primary objective of the study i.e. TRT, and a subset of 250 patients will be included to investigate another research question i.e. response to steroid therapy.
