Filter by:This study is being conducted in order to understand the safety and effects of different doses of EDG-7500 either as a single or multiple dose in adult patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A hypertrophic scar is a serious health concern in the industrialized world. Two groups of patients were treated with standard medical care. The experimental group received additional laser therapy. scar assessment was measured immediately before treatment, after 3, and 7 months. T test for comparison before-treatment between the control and study groups. ANOVA with repeated measures test for comparison among other measures.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of clear aligners on the symptoms and signs reported by bruxism patients. The aim of the investigators is to evaluate the effect of treatment on the masticatory muscles and the changes related to the tropism of the masseter muscles using Bruxoff ® device, before and after the beginning of the therapy. Bruxoff ® is a holter that assesses the contractions of the masseter muscles and the heart during sleep. The plan is to compare treatment with clear aligners for bruxism and non-bruxism patients. The results will allow the investigators to evaluate the progress of clear aligner therapy in bruxism patients and compare them with those of non-bruxism patients.
The aim of our study is to compare endoscopic submucosal resection Turbinoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy regarding clinical and radiological evaluation and its possible complications in the treatment of Chronic inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AI-ECG algorithm for HCM in detecting HCM and in differentiating it from athlete's heart using not only the standard 12-lead ECG, but also ECGs obtained with the Apple Watch and Alivecor KardiaMobile devices.
The study aims to establish a diagnostic model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common clinical genetic-related disease, with a global incidence of 0.2%-0.5%, but only a few cases (10-20%) have been clinically diagnosed. About 70% of them are hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), these HOCM patients have significant clinical symptoms, including progressively increasing fatigue, angina, exertional dyspnea, and syncope. Conservative medications are used to treat the vast majority of patients. Invasive therapy, which includes surgical myectomy, percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA), percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) and percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is introduced to patients with refractory symptoms or drug resistance. However, surgical operations are complicated and high risk procedures with high mortality. Interventional approaches are very difficult to perform and therefore the application is limited. Previous researches have shown that interventricular septal radiofrequency ablation could effectively reduce the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOTG), thereby treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This device is based on the same radiofrequency ablation energy principle, however, the catheter is introduced into the right ventricle and performs ablation treatment on the hypertrophic interventricular septum, which is potentially a lower risk route of access for septal ablation than currently attempted interventional approaches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intramyocardial septal ablation catheters in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Background: Some people have a condition in which the wall (septum) that separates the two main pumping chambers of the heart is too thick. This thick septum causes a condition called "left ventricular outflow tract obstruction" (LVOTO), which reduces blood flow out of the heart. LVOTO can cause serious heart disease; symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, heart failure, or death. Researchers want to find better ways to treat LVOTO. Objective: To test a new procedure where excess tissue is sliced away from the septum in people with LVOTO. This procedure is called "septal scoring along midline endocardium" (SESAME). Eligibility: Adults aged 21 years with LVOTO. Design: Participants will have baseline tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart structure and function. They will take a walking test and answer questions about how their heart condition affects their life. Participants will stay in the hospital 2 to 6 days for the SESAME procedure. They will be completely or partially asleep for the procedure. A tube will be inserted into the mouth and down the throat to take pictures of the heart. Pictures may also be taken with a tube inserted inside the heart. Next, tubes will be inserted into the groin and guided through the blood vessels up to the heart. Guidewires will be inserted into the heart. Doctors will watch the path the wires take with x-rays and ultrasound. When the wire is in the correct place, it will be electrified to slice excess tissue away from the septum. Participants will have 3 follow-up visits within 1 year....
Tonsillectomy ± adenoidectomy (T&A) is one of the most common surgical operations with over 500,000 pediatric T&As performed annually in the United States. Unfortunately, despite advances in anesthetic and surgical techniques, moderate-severe post-tonsillectomy pain (PTP) remains a significant problem affecting up to 62% of children. PTP is thought to arise from pharyngeal mucosal inflammation, which produces local nerve irritation and pharyngeal muscle spasm. Patient factors and surgical techniques also play major roles. Race is an important phenotypic risk factor for moderately severe early PTP. The underlying molecular basis of this differential pain experience is presently unknown. This gap in knowledge means that therapies are poorly targeted and often unsuccessful. Indeed, treatment options for PTP have not advanced substantively for many years. Metabolomics provides novel opportunities to investigate common and unique "metabolic signature" of PTP through the analysis of low molecular weight compounds produced in response to tissue injury. Therefore, the central themes of this proposal are that (1) PTP is a complex process that may be determined by molecular level factors such as preoperative systemic inflammation and metabolic profile, and (2) these molecular level factors may explain the excess burden of PTP among minority children. Here the investigators seek to utilize a combined clinical, biological and untargeted metabolomics approach to identify candidate small and large serum molecules that may influence the frequency and severity of PTP in children across racial groups. This approach to exploring the molecular basis of PTP is novel and knowledge from the study should substantially enhance understanding of the mechanisms underlying pediatric PTP - and narrow the racial disparities in post-operative pain.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a pathology with a highly variable course, ranging from patients who are asymptomatic throughout their lives to those who experience sudden death and/or terminal heart failure. The main objective is to develop and validate an algorithm (constructed through supervised learning) using cardiac imaging data to predict the risk of cardiovascular events in sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
