Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Phase III lots of the CYD dengue vaccine in a pediatric population in Malaysia. Primary Objectives: - To describe the safety (in terms of solicited and unsolicited adverse events) of the CYD dengue vaccine in all participants after each injection. - To describe the antibody response to each dengue virus serotype post-injection 2 and post-injection 3.
Primary objectives: - To describe the immune response to each dengue serotype before and after each vaccination with sanofi pasteur's CYD dengue vaccine. - To evaluate the safety of each vaccination with sanofi pasteur's CYD dengue vaccine.
The purpose of this multination multicenter observational study is to determine the impact of fever and antipyretic on outcomes in critically ill patients.
Primary Objectives: - To evaluate safety after each CYD Dengue vaccination in terms of injection site and systemic reactogenicity. - To evaluate the occurrence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) throughout the trial period. - To evaluate the humoral immune response to each CYD Dengue serotype after each vaccination in a subset of participants. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the persistence of the humoral immune response during 4 years after the last vaccination in a subset of participants.
This trial evaluated the use of a tetravalent vaccine against dengue. Primary objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to dengue before and after each vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in adults, adolescents, and children. - To evaluate the safety of each vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in the 4 age cohorts. - To evaluate the persistence of antibodies against dengue during 5 years after the first vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in the 4 age cohorts.
The primary objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of CYD dengue vaccine after three injections in preventing symptomatic virologically-confirmed dengue (VCD) cases, regardless of the severity, due to any of the four serotypes in children aged 4 to 11 years at the time of inclusion. Secondary objectives included to assess: - Vaccine efficacy against severe VCD cases - Vaccine efficacy against VCD cases following at least two injections with CYD dengue vaccine - Immune response to CYD dengue vaccine - Safety profile of CYD dengue vaccine. Safety assessments include solicited reactions within 7 or 14 days after each injection, unsolicited adverse events within 28 days after each injection, and serious adverse events during the study period. Other objectives included: - Vaccine efficacy against VCD cases following at least one injection with CYD dengue vaccine - Vaccine efficacy against VCD cases due to each serotype - Participants with clinical signs and symptoms for VCD
The aim of the trial was to evaluate the use of a tetravalent vaccine, CYD dengue vaccine, against dengue disease. Primary Objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to dengue before and after each vaccination with dengue vaccine in two age cohorts of children (6 to 11 years and 2 to 5 years) previously vaccinated with yellow fever (YF) vaccine. - To evaluate the safety of each vaccination with dengue vaccine in two age cohorts of children (6 to 11 years and 2 to 5 years). - To describe viremia after the first and second vaccinations with dengue vaccine in a subgroup of 130 randomized participants (100 participants in Dengue Vaccine Group and 30 participants in Control Group) in two age cohorts of children (6 to 11 years and 2 to 5 years).
Hyperthermia - a warming of the tumor at 42-43 ° C - in combination with radiation and / or chemotherapy is a proven method of treatment for malignant tumors. The amplification of the effect of radiotherapy and various chemotherapeutic agents (platinum analogues, nitrogen-Lost derivatives, cytotoxic antibiotics) is experimentally demonstrated. Randomized clinical trials have shown a better chance of survival and better local tumor control without increasing the toxicity of combined treatment especially also in children's tumors. The combination of hyperthermia and radiation therapy is more effective than radiotherapy alone. Hyperthermal temperatures increase blood circulation in tumors as a response to stimulation with heat. Tumor tissue, having a minor circulation and being acidotic, is resistant to radiotherapy, but sensitive to hyperthermia, while tumor with a high blood flow is sensitivity to radiation. This positive interaction is a compelling reason for the combination of hyperthermia and ionized radiation. Hyperthermia, in combination with chemotherapy, increases the concentration of cytostatics in the tumor region, raising blood flow caused by warmth. In addition, hyperthermia increases toxicity of drugs in cells, being normally resistant to many drugs. Hyperthermia can synergistically be combined with chemotherapy treating "high risk" - tumors with curative intention. In addition to the clinical use of surface hyperthermia (BSD 500 - O), with appropriate treatment of tumors up to 3 cm deep from the surface of the body with established indications and palliative indication in advanced stages of cancer, a prospective, randomized study with quality-controlled thermometry shall establish the optimal sequence of Hyperthermia in combination with irradiation. Therefore the treatment sequence of once per weeks is compared to a sequence of three times per week.
Laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) is currently offered to infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who fail to conceive on clomiphene citrate (CC). However, using LOD before CC may result in a better reproductive outcome since LOD may reduce risks associated with CC such as miscarriages and multiple pregnancies. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of LOD and its potential value in improving the success rates in infertile women with PCOS. This study will recruit 72 women with PCOS suffering from infertility due to lack of ovulation from the infertility clinic. After initial assessment, patients will be given explanation about the study and will receive an information leaflet. They will then be randomized into two groups: Group1 (36 patients) will receive CC as per infertility clinic protocol to induce ovulation for up to 6 months. Group 2 (36 patients) will undergo laparoscopic ovarian diathermy under general anaesthetic. Blood samples will be taken from both groups before any treatment, shortly after treatment and at 3 and 6 months after treatment to measure various hormones. Patients will be contacted every month after treatment for follow up. The reproductive outcomes particularly the pregnancy and livebirth rates will be compared between the two groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether shortwave diathermy is effective in reducing knee pain and increasing function of the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
