Filter by:Eating too much salt raises blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The investigators do not fully understand why salt raises blood pressure, but storage of sodium in the body, particularly in the skin, may be important. For this reason, the investigators wish to study the link between skin sodium, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in patients with high blood pressure, of different ethnicities, using techniques such as skin biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results will provide detailed information on skin sodium storage and help us better understand the effects of blood pressure medications on these mechanisms. Ultimately, the investigators aim to develop personalized treatment guidelines for clinical use.
Allergy is a public health problem as more than 20% of western society is affected by it. Symptomatic treatment of allergy suffices with less severe allergy. Patients with more severe allergy should be treated with allergen immunotherapy (AIT). Present options of AIT are efficient but of long duration, associated with side effects and require much time from the patient. With Intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT), allergen is injected into the lymph node under ultrasound guidance. ILIT is complete after 3 treatment visits, may be more effective than and may have markedly fewer side effects than presently available methods of AIT. The investigators plan a randomized, parallel group, open-label, prospective case-control study to assess immunological changes in lymph node and peripheral blood after intralymphatic (ILIT) or subcutaneous (SCIT) immunotherapy with POLVAC. The intervention consists of one ultrasound-guided injection of allergen into inguinal lymph node or subcutaneous injection 1 cm next to the lymph node. Intervention quality (accuracy of injection) will be assessed by the administering physician during treatment and via video recording on the ultrasound device. Side effects associated with treatment will be recorded by the patients for 3 days after the injection. The effect of intralymphatic or subcutaneous injection on lymph node tissue and immunoglobulins E and G4 in serum as well as cellular analyses of lymph node tissue and peripheral blood will be determined in samples taken during the trial. The primary effect parameter is the effect of a single intralymphatic allergen injection on immunological parameters as well as allergen delivery to the lymph node as compared with a single subcutaneous injection.
Majority of children outgrow their allergies, however there are two different methods to re-introduce milk products in the infant diet either direct milk intake in escalating doses or milk ladder, starting with baked milk products instead of pure milk. This study aims to compare rate of tolerance after milk reintroduction among patient with cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) diagnosed by elimination re-challenge test after six months of elimination diet by milk ladder versus direct milk intake.
Primary Objective: To explore whether a 6-month course of Rezvilutamide in the triple therapy regimen is non-inferior to long-term Rezvilutamide treatment in improving radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in patients with high tumor burden metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate and compare the time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, time to next bone-related event, time to initiation of subsequent anti-prostate cancer treatment, and objective response rate (ORR) between the 6-month and long-term course of Rezvilutamide with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus docetaxel in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC. To assess and compare the incidence of adverse events between the 6-month and long-term course of Rezvilutamide with ADT plus docetaxel in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC. Exploratory Objectives: To observe the circulating tumor cell status at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC receiving the triple therapy regimen.
Penicillin allergy testing among surgical patients
The goal of this mechanism of disease study is to investigate the effect of flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), on the cough hypersensitivity associated with upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Q1: Does a single treatment with an approved therapeutic dose of flurbiprofen, an NSAID that prevents the production of prostaglandins, acutely reduce objective measures of cough hypersensitivity in participants with URTI? - Q2: Is the effect of flurbiprofen on cough hypersensitivity in URTI related to participant subjective ratings of acute cough severity? - Q3: Is the effect of flurbiprofen on cough hypersensitivity in URTI related to the levels of prostaglandins or other inflammatory markers measurable in upper airway secretions? Participants will be asked to undergo cough challenge testing, complete quality of life questionnaires, and have their nasal fluid, saliva and pharyngeal secretions sampled before and after a single treatment with flurbiprofen in the form of a lozenge or spray. Participants in the comparator arms of the study will instead receive a placebo lozenge or low dose flurbiprofen spray.
In the study, three videolaryngoscopes: UESCOPE VL 400 (Zhejiang UE Medical Corp. Zhejiang, China), I-View™ VL (Intersurgical Ltd, Wokingham, Berkshire, UK), Airtraq sp® (Prodol Meditec S.A, Vizcaya, Spain) were compared with the most widely used, classic Macintosh laryngoscope (HEINE Optotechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Gilch-ing, Germany) under simulated out-of-hospital conditions by people without clinical experience on a manikin model (Laerdal Airway Management Trainer Stavanger Norway manikin of universal difficulty), while using an endotracheal tube without and with a stylet. Simulated out-of-hospital conditions were created by placing the manikin at floor level. A random selection of 30 students of the third year of Emergency Medicine, full-time first-degree program at the Medical University of Lodz, Poland, were enrolled in the study. The following were assessed: intubation efficiency, time to ventilation (primary endpoints); intubation effort, intubator comfort, tooth damage and visibility of the glottis according to the Cormack-Lehane scale (secondary endpoints).
Forty-four patients with dentin sensibility after non-surgical scaling and root planning (SRP) will be randomly included in 2 groups: Experimental Group: SRP+ Photobiomodulation (PBM) (660nm, 100W, area 0,5cm2, 200w/cm2, 30 seconds, 3 J, 6J/cm2. The primary outcome of the study will be the assessment of dentinal sensitivity after 7 days of RAR measured with the visual analog scale (VAS). The cutoff of VAS is 3. Also, it will be assessed the impact of oral health on the participant's quality of life, with the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The use of analgesics (paracetamol) will be prescribed as needed and the amount of medication will be calculated. These outcomes will be evaluated after 7 days and 1 month of application
This single armed cohort study is aimed to assess the acceptance, durability and efficiency of glass-Ionomer sealing technique on hypersensitive MIH molars (TNI-3 & 4a/b/c) clinically shortly (15 minutes) after the application and after a time period of 3 months.
This study aims to determine the frequency of allergy to beef meat in children with allergy to cow's milk by serum measurement. Also, the study aims to assess the sensitivity and specificity of beef IgE in relation to gold standardized of elimination challenge test and to assess effect of eating of cooked meat on symptoms of allergy in those proven to have either CMA alone +/- beef allergy (by serology).
