Filter by:To study the effect of fractionated 1927-nm non ablative thulium laser in reduction of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) using a validated and reproducible model for studying PIH. - Determine if there is aa reduction in PIH in patients treated with three (3) monthly sessions of fractionated 1927-nm non ablative thulium laser - Determine if there is efficacy of post-procedure clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment in the management of PIH - Determine the histological and molecular changes that occur with laser and laser plus topical steroid treatment compared to untreated skin
In this randomized controlled trial, two different plant polar lipids are investigated with respect to their potential to affect acute and second meal glucose tolerance and appetite sensations. The effects are compared with a common non-polar commercial oil. The lipids are consumed spread on a white wheat bread. A white wheat bread without added lipids is included as a control product. The test products are consumed at breakfast, and test variables are investigated in the postprandial period after the test breakfast and also after a second meal standard lunch.
Validate the performance of Philips FAST SpO2 with Masimo Pulse Oximetry Sensors in determining functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) using arterial saturation (SaO2) as a reference in the range of 70-100% in subjects of varying skin pigmentation.
The purpose of this trial is to study the brain response using functional MRI (fMRI) before and after varying doses of insulin given through the nose. The magnetic resonance imaging uses a very strong magnet to produce images of participant's brain. It becomes a functional MRI when the study team looks at the activity within the brain (blood flow / change in metabolism).
This is a first-in-human, randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to investigate how different doses of CAN10 are tolerated, taken up by the body and how long CAN10 stays in the body. In the first part of the study, the single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts, CAN10 will be given as a single intravenous dose to healthy subjects. In the second part of the study, the multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts, CAN10 will be given as repeated subcutaneous doses to participants with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
Doppler ultrasound is generally considered to provide reliable femoral blood flow measurements between rest and exercise, and the blood flow response to exercise is widely believed to be reduced in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the test-retest reliability of the method during one-leg knee extensor exercise has not previously been compared between matched healthy individuals.
The purpose of this research study is to develop a model to help distinguish patients at high-risk for developing persistent post-traumatic headache from patients who experience headache recovery. Researchers will do this by comparing the brain images, clinical data, and speech of healthy controls to people who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic headache.
Expressive writing involves writing about one's deepest thoughts and feelings surrounding an emotional event. The current literature on the efficacy of expressive writing is mixed and warrants further investigation into how, when, and for whom expressive writing is an effective intervention. The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of expressive writing interventions in young adults when people imagine that they're writing to themselves vs. a loved one. Participants will carry out an expressive writing exercise for 14 consecutive days. Participants are randomized into 3 groups: Self, Other, and Control. The Self group is instructed to write as if they were talking to themselves. The Other group is instructed to direct their writing to someone they feel close to. The Control group is asked to write down a factual description of their routine that day, and direct this writing to themselves. We will recruit participants until we have usable data from 53 participants per group (i.e., 159 in total).
Sauna bathing is a popular, low-cost, and easily accessible type of whole-body thermotherapy that has been used for social, religious, health, and hygienic reasons for thousands of years. There is strong evidence to support the various physiological and psychological benefits of sauna bathing. The positive effects of regular sauna use have been explained by a number of mechanisms of action, including increased cardiac output, reduced peripheral vascular resistance and other physiological changes in cardiovascular parameters such as decreased systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, the psychological impact of sauna bathing may occur due to a combination of factors that include the release of endorphins, relaxation, placebo effects, and psychological and social interactions that likely occur around frequent sauna activity. Taken together, it is possible that acute and regular sauna bathing may impact sleep quality.
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study is to determine whether it is possible to gauge the pattern of somatostatin secretion by measuring plasma concentrations of pro-somatostatin 1-64 (a stable peptide that is released in equimolar amounts alongside somatostatin) as a surrogate marker. During the study the release of somatostatin will be manipulated by changing the luminal pH of the stomach. Healthy participants will be studied in a randomized on two occasions. The day before both two study visits participants will ingest a capsule in the morning and a capsule in the evening. On one day the capsule will contain a proton pump inhibitor (Esomeprazol) to elevate the luminal pH of the stomach and on the other day the capsule will be a placebo. On the study days participants will ingest, in the mornng after an overnight fast, a coca cola zero + lemon juice to lower the luminal pH which willelicit the release of somatostatin. Blood samples will be collected before and after the ingestion of coca cola.
