Filter by:To explore the feasibility, safety, health and psychological benefits of a 12-week high intensity exercise programme in a young group of individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This will pave the way for a large-scale randomised study of safety of exercise in HCM, the results of which will strengthen the evidence base for exercise recommendations.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Cardea SOLO Compared to 12 lead EKG for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis in ESUS patients with Left Atrial Enlargement.
After tooth extraction, shrinkage of the bone is expected with 50% reduction of alveolar width. Patients at least 3months after tooth extraction and in need of single oral implant placement in the anterior maxilla with both neighboring teeth present, were invited to participate in an inter-subject RCT if insufficient residual alveolar bone was left for proper implant placement. Guided bone regeneration has been used to recreate bone volume. A combination of xenogenous bone (Creos Xenogain , Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) and autologous bone chips in a 1:1 ratio, is protected by a membrane fixated in the bone. A resorbable, non-stable membrane (Creos Xenoprotect, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) or non-resorbable titanium reinforced d-PTFE membrane (Creos Syntoprotect , Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) can be used. This study aims to compare the effectivity of the two membranes by measuring changes in bone dimensions. The resorbable membrane has the advantage that it does not need to be removed, whereas the titanium reinforced membrane can protect the rebuilt volume better against external forces. Patients start to take systemic antibiotics (Amoxicilline 1g) and anti-inflammatory medication (ibuprofen 600 mg) 1h pre-operatively. Following local anesthesia (Septanest special, Septodont, Saint Maur des Fossés, France) and oral disinfection (Corsodyl mouth rinse, GSK, Wavre, Belgium), a large mucoperiosteal flap will be raised with two vertical releasing on each side of the edentulous space and at the distal aspect of the second neighboring tooth. The flap extends to the base of the alveolar process to allow full access. Autogenous bone chips are harvested from the retromolar area with bone scrapers and/or from an edentulous site using ACM bone collector (NeoBiotech, Guro-gu Seoul, Republic of Korea). DBBM particles (Xenogain, Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) soaked in blood are mixed with autogenous bone chips to a ratio of 1/1. After having made multiple bone perforations at the buccal aspect of the recipient site, the mixture of bone chips and DBBM is applied. An individualized collagen membrane (Xenoprotect, Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) or a non-resorbable titanium reinforced d-PTFE membrane is attached on top using membrane fixation pins. Prior to fixation of the final pin, bone grafting material is additionally applied from the lateral aspect to ensure that it is properly packed under the membrane and fully stable. Following release of the periosteum and muscle insertion, tension-free primary wound closure is achieved with horizontal mattress 4/0 titanium reinforced d-PTFE sutures and single 6/0 monofilament sutures. Patients continue the intake of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication for 7 days and use an oral mouthrinse during 2 weeks. Sutures are removed after 2 weeks, and an implant is installed after 9 months following 3D implant planning. A sample size calculation indicated 17 patients to be included per group. To compensate for one drop-out, 18 patients would be treated with collagen membrane and 18 would be treated with titanium reinforced d-PTFE. Changes in horizontal bone dimensions over time is the primary outcome. Prior to surgery, immediately after GBR, at 9 months, at 3 years and 5 years a CBCT is taken. Every CBCT is superimposed to the baseline CBCT in designated software and horizontal buccal bone dimensions are measured. Secondary outcomes include - Membrane exposure - Intrasurgical changes in bone crest width over time - Intrasurgical assessment of bone quality at implant placement at the palatal, midcrestal and buccal aspect - Need for re-grafting at implant placement - Need for soft tissue grafting at implant placement - Need for augmentation of keratinized mucosa at implant placement - Volumetric increase in buccal bone at 3 and 5 years - Peri-implant health at 3 and 5 years by means of intra-oral radiograph - Esthetic outcomes at 3 and 5 years - Histomorphometric analysis on 20 cases (10 per group)
In 12 patients with corticalization and hypertrophic pseudarthrosis were present after dynamization, the old nail was removed and nail exchange was performed with a longer and larger diameter nail to pass the region formed in the cortex approximately 2-3cm inferior from the old nail.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a 30-week course of mavacamten and the long-term effects of mavacamten in Japanese participants with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
The particularity of adenoids, as a reservoir of bacterial pathogens and immune molecules, is known to be significantly involved in children with otitis media with effusion (OME). As an important carrier of intercellular substance transfer and signal transduction, exosomes with different biological functions can be secreted by different types of cells. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the clinical transmitter of exosomes to OME, especially in its pathophysiologic development. In this study, the investigators try to elucidate the biological functions of exosomes in children with adenoid hypertrophy accompanied by OME. Patients with adenoid hypertrophy or otitis media will be separated into three groups: those with adenoid hypertrophy, with otitis media and with adenoid hypertrophy and otitis media both, as well as a healthy control group. Participants in the four groups will have their middle ear effusion, nasopharyngeal secretion, and peripheral blood samples taken, from which exosomes will be separated for further analysis. Adenoidectomy will be conducted in adenoid hypertrophy accompanied by OME and adenoid hypertrophy alone and their adenoid tissue will be collected. Blood will be collected again 3 months after surgery and middle ear and nasopharyngeal examinations will be performed. Exosomes will be isolated for follow-up studies as before surgery. Investigators will also use proteome research, exosome biomarkers, and high-throughput sequencing to examine the pathophysiology of OME, particularly inflammation-related etiology, in order to provide novel ideas for OME diagnosis and treatment.
The proposed mechanistic trial will test the effect of dietary sodium reduction on cardiac and vascular structure and function in those with elevated blood pressure or hypertension. Findings from this study will fill the knowledge gap on the underlying mechanisms of dietary sodium intake on cardiovascular disease risk in addition to blood pressure and could provide further evidence on sodium reduction for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
MIST+ is studying a nasal spray to see if it will reduce the need for surgery for snoring. Children aged 3-12 are invited to take part. Snoring affects up to 10% of children and can cause sleeping problems and concentration or behavioural issues in the daytime. Currently the most common treatment for snoring is surgery to remove the tonsils and/or adenoids, however many children wait a long time to see a specialist. This research is trying to find if nasal sprays can help children with snoring, and whether this can reduce the need for surgery.
