Filter by:A 12-week, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to explore the effect of add-on sulforaphane (SFN) to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for major depressive disorder (MDD). This study also aims to explore the value of niacin skin flush response test in MDD. One hundred adults diagnosed with MDD will be recruited. Then all the patients will be randomly assigned to SSRI only group and SSRI plus SFN group. Clinical symptoms and side-effects will be evaluated using the 17-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (17-HDRS), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS), and Asberg's Rating Scale for Side Effects (SERS) at baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 after treatment. Fifty healthy subjects will be recruited as control group. For all subjects, testing of niacin skin flush response and serum levels of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf-2), p-Nrf2, Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1), malondialdehyde (MDA) and erythrocyte glutathion peroxidase (GPX) will be performed at baseline and endpoint. The primary outcome is the reduction rate in 17-HDRS total score from baseline to the end of the study. The secondary outcomes include changes in niacin skin flush response test and levels of serum markers. All the data will be analyzed by SPSS software.
Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is a drainage method for biliary obstruction. Patients with a PTBD catheter often need multiple re-interventions because of symptoms of catheter obstruction such as pain, jaundice, pruritus, leakage and/or fever. The onset of these symptoms results in hospital visits, opening of the external catheter of an internal external PTBD and re-interventions. The investigators hypothesize that daily flushing of an internal external biliary catheter will increase the time-to-symptom-onset.
The purpose of this Study is to find out if Iyengar-Yoga has a rejuvenating effect on women after menopause. The biofunctional status of the study participants will be assessed before and after a 12-week yoga program.
Objective: In this study, our aim will be investigating the pregnancy results in unexplained infertile women undergoing ICSI, by flushing the endometrial cavity with folliculer fluid, that we maintain mature follicules inside them in oocyte retrieval day. Study Design: 100 subfertile women who applied to Zeynep Kamil Hospital, In Vitro Fertilization Center between October 2016 to May 2017 will be randomized with computer generated programme. The patients will be divided into two groups; follicular fluid group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The inclusion criterias are: age between 20-39 years, basal FSH level < 10 mIU/ml, body mass index<35 kg/m2 and E2 levels in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day between 1000-4000 pg/ml. Patients meets these criteria will be included to the study programme. The exclusion criteria are determined as below: previously diagnosed endometriosis, uterine leiomyomas, hydrosalpinx, endocrinological disorders; previous history of implantation failure in IVF/ICSI cycles and severe male factor infertility.
To evaluate the efficacy of flushing the uterine cavity with lidocaine before Hysterosalpingo-Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) to reduce procedure-related pain.
An exploratory open-label study of rosacea patients to study the efficacy and tolerability of erenumab in the prophylactic treatment of persistent redness and flushing attributed to rosacea. Approximately 30 subjects will be included in the study and receive erenumab 140 mg for three months. The study will begin June 2020 and is expected to last nine months.
Ten to 15 percent of couples in their reproductive lifetime face fertility problems which is defined by WHO as the absence of pregnancy after minimal 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. The three most frequent causes of subfertility are: sperm defects, ovulation disorders and tubal pathology. In order to exclude tubal pathology, tubal patency tests are performed under ultrasound guidance with foam (hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (Hyfosy)) or with contrast/water (hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (Hycosy)). This trial will investigate whether tubal flushing with an oil-soluble contrast medium (OSCM) can increase the likelihood of a spontaneous conception after tubal patency testing with Hyfosy under ultrasound guidance compared to no additional flushing in a population of infertile women between 18 and 40 years of age with absence of pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or who have three cycles of donor insemination without pregnancy or three ovulatory ovulation induction cycles without pregnancy. The use of Lipiodol Ultra Fluide® is off-label in Hyfosy. This multicenter, randomised, open-label, comparative and pragmatic trial compares 2 arms which will be randomised 1:1: - Intervention group: Tubal flush with 5-10mL oil-soluble contrast medium (Lipiodol Ultra Fluide®, Guerbet, France) immediately after Hyfosy - Control group: No additional intervention after Hyfosy The study comprises a screening period of maximum 8 weeks (w-8 to d1), randomisation (w-8 to d1), a start study visit at which the Hyfosy is performed (d1) and a fertility treatment period of 6 months (d1-w26). If the woman is not pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till 12 months (w52). If the participant is pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till maximal 4 months after live birth or miscarriage. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of live birth, with the first day of the last menstrual cycle in which the patient conceives within 6 months after Hyfosy. Secondary endpoints consist of reproductive outcomes, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, neonatal mortality, major congenital anomaly, neonatal outcomes and thyroid function, pregnancy complications, number of complications during or immediately after the intervention, pain score of the Hyfosy and additional flush, thyroid function of the mother, general and disease-specific quality of life.
Heparin diluent or normal saline is generally used as the arterial tube flushing in clinical practice, but there is no consensus on the choice of flushing fluid. Heparin can affect the blood coagulation function, and even lead to heparin-related thrombocytopenia, increasing the risk of perioperative embolism. Sonoclot is a blood viscoelasticity test, which can provide comprehensive information on the coagulation's cascade and the entire process and be quicker and more effective than routine laboratory coagulation tests. In this research, the coagulation and platelet function analyzer called Sonoclot is used to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of pressurized heparin on the coagulation and platelet function of perioperative patients, which can provide a reference for the clinical choice of appropriate arterial flushing.
One hundred forty patients with male factor infertility are randomized into two groups. In the study group, flushing the endometrial cavity with 2ml of clear follicular fluid with granulose cells will be performed using an IUI catheter after ovum pick-up While in the control group, no flushing of the endometrial cavity with FF is done. The implantation rates and pregnancy rates in both groups will be assessed.
