This study will recruit 20 male and female athletes of endurance training background. They will participate in 50 minutes of vigorous activity on a treadmill with 3 blood draws (before exercising, 50 minutes into exercising, and 30 minutes after completion of exercising). After collection of the blood samples, the results will be analyzed for extracellular vesicles and biochemical changes within said extracellular vesicles.
This is a case report of a 14-year old female with no menstruation history.
This is an open-label observational trial to study the effectiveness of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on common symptoms of normal menstrual discomfort.
Being a parent of a child with medical complexity (CMC) poses an enormous stress because these CMC have a multisystem disease, a severe neurologic condition or cancer which may result in premature death. Parents may feel challenged, lacking in confidence and high level of stress when managing their daily caregiving activities and child's new symptom. Literature suggested that hope is believed to be the central agent in facilitating positive psychological change when parents are facing difficulties and feeling stress. Brief Hope Intervention (BHI) is an alternative method considered to be feasible in improving parental hope level meanwhile, decreasing their stress level associated with daily caregiving activities. The purpose of BHI is to help these parents to develop workable goals, and concentrate on problem solving skill along with achievable planned actions in order to terminate the stressors associated from the caregiving activities. This proposed pilot randomized controlled trial will test the feasibility and preliminary effect of the BHI in term of increasing the level of hope meanwhile decreasing the stress level of parents with a CMC. Eligibility, recruitment rates, and attrition rates will be collected in percentage to evaluate the feasibility of the study. Content analysis will be adopted to analysis the qualitative feedback on the acceptability of BHI from the parents. A repeated-measures, two-group design will be used to evaluate the preliminary effects between intervention and wait-listed control groups by comparing Brief Hope Intervention and wait-listed control groups receiving usual community care for 64 randomly selected parents over a 1-month follow-up. The outcome measures include parental hope and stress level. They will be measured before intervention, immediately after intervention and one-month after intervention. With positive outcomes found in this study, this intervention will be implemented in a larger scale to improve local psychological health service for parents with a CMC.
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of VCTX210A combination product in patients with T1D
Fluorescence is one of the most commonly used research and detection techniques in the field of biomedical science. The characteristics of fluorescent probe directly affect the performance and application of fluorescence analysis and imaging. Aggregation-Caused Quenching has limited the application of traditional fluorescent probes to some extent. This project intends to systematically evaluate the detection efficiency of new methods through the detection of biomarkers in clinical samples and the comparison with the detection methods of traditional biomarkers, so as to provide theoretical and experimental basis for the establishment of fast and simple biomarker detection technologies with new biological probes.
GFB-024 is intended for use in patients with kidney disease such as diabetic nephropathy. This study is the first time GFB-024 has been used in humans. The first part of the study will assess the safety of a single dose of GFB-024 in healthy overweight and obese volunteers and the effect of GFB-024 on the body as compared to an inactive placebo medication. The second part of the study will assess the safety of repeated doses of GFB-024 in participants with Type 2 diabetes and the effect of GFB-024 on the body as compared to an inactive placebo medication.
This prospective controlled interventional study aims to reveal the diversity of vitamin D metabolism in patients with certain endocrine disorders (Cushing's disease, acromegaly, primary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus type 1) compared to healthy adults. All patients will receive a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters will be performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of dulaglutide in Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes. The study duration is approximately 58 weeks.
