Filter by:"The understanding of the two sugars, glucose and fructose, has been thoroughly investigated regarding their impact on human metabolism during exercise. The consumption of the sugar galactose is an intriguing alternative and can be beneficial, especially for individuals with type 1 Diabetes, as it reduces the need for insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Additionally, galactose oxidation rates during exercise are only 50-60% compared to glucose, primarily due to liver storage and/or the requirement for conversion to glucose in the liver before oxidation. This delay in metabolism can prevent hyperglycemia before exercise and provide extended protection against episodes of hypoglycemia during and after exercise through a moderate and prolonged glycemic response. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate whether galactose is taken up by skeletal muscles and the heart in response to exercise or hyperinsulinemia. Using non-invasive 18F-FDGal PET, the investigators will examine this in a randomized controlled study design. The results could contribute to updating dietary recommendations, particularly for individuals with type 1 diabetes who struggle to maintain normal blood sugar levels during and after exercise."
This study was conducted to determine safety and efficacy of topically applied cream containing combination of niacinamide, arbutin, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract for its skin brightening effect on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation among the Malaysian population. The study duration is 20 weeks and the skin assessment will be carried out at baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 16 and week 20.The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. To determine the efficacy of topical cream containing natural plant extracts, niacinamide, and arbutin for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation among Malaysians. 2. To investigate the safety of topical cream containing natural plant extracts, niacinamide, and arbutin for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation among Malaysians. 3. To assess the participants satisfaction of using topical cream containing natural plant extracts, niacinamide, and arbutin for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation among Malaysians.
Aim: Evaluate whether sonicating the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) with transcranial focused ultrasound modifies functional connectivity between the NAc and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). In this single visit, open-label pilot trial, we plan to evaluate whether transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS), delivered to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) within the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner will impact resting state functional connectivity between the NAc and functionally connected brain regions like the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in up to 10 healthy individuals. HYPOTHESIS : tFUS will reduce prefrontal cortex (PFC)-NAc functional connectivity, in healthy individuals. We will investigate this hypothesis by administering tFUS within to MRI scanner to healthy individuals and conduct resting state functional neuroimaging before- and after the tFUS stimulation.
This protocol is part of a larger project, COMPRare (COMPlement-mediated Rare kidney diseases), which has been financed on behalf of the EJP RD (European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases) program of EU and is leaded by a scientific consortium from 7 European countries. The partners (P) of the consortium are: P1. Radboudumc Amalia Children's Hospital (The Netherlands) P2. Semmelweis University (Hungary) P3. Cordeliers Research Center (France) P4. Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine (Germany) P5. Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri (Italy) P6. Lund University (Sweden) P7. Lille University (France) The general aim of the project is to define new diagnostic tools for complement activation in order to improve patients stratification and follow-up, thereby affecting time and choice of treatment in patients with aHUS and C3G. Particularly, the specific objectives of the COMPRare are: - To develop new standardized analytic assays thereby identifying specific complement prognostic biomarkers for early diagnosis, classification, improved monitoring and treatment of patients with aHUS and C3G; - To in-depth characterize patients' complement abnormalities in blood, in patient-derived cells and in kidney biopsies; - To identify strategies to classify VUS/LPV - To find new pathophysiological pathways involved in aHUS and C3G for further improving disease diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. The results of these studies will form the basis of personalized treatment with existing and upcoming complement inhibitory drugs for these rare complement-mediated kidney diseases.
This is a first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy subjects. The trial consisted of two parts: part 1: single ascending dose (SAD) study and part 2: multiple ascending dose (MAD) study. Each part had multiple Intravenous infusion administration dose groups. Prior to the formal initiation of the dose-escalation trial, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics of a pretest dose (pilot dose) of 2 mg will be evaluated in 2 subjects (both administered BG136 for injection)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare corresponding inter- and intraindividual pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles including assessments of safety & tolerability of three different doses against a placebo control.
In this research study, the investigators are using examining how brain activity (electrical and blood flow) changes during tests of emotional processing and attention and memory in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Investigators are also using non-invasive brain stimulation to probe different parts of the brain and measuring brain activity (electrical and blood flow). This study includes healthy participants and researchers hope this will help us develop improved brain-based treatments for emotional difficulties like depression.
The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of heat and humidity on cognition and health. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: type of study: interventional participant population: 20-40years, both gender, healthy Participants will be exposed for 4 different sessions of 8 hours at a time, to 32˚ C or 25˚ C in combination with relative humidity of 30 %RH or 70 %RH.
The investigators are doing this research study to compare whole body aerobic training with isolated leg training (with weights) and its impact on effectiveness in symptoms and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
The main objective of this study is to determine whether administration of ketanserin (40 mg), olanzapine (10 mg), and lorazepam (2 mg) after administration of LSD (150 µg) attenuates and shortens the subjective LSD response (any drug effect) compared to administration of LSD (150 µg) alone
