Aerobic exercises can produce immediate and short-term improvements in the immune response of leukocytes, T-lymphocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations, interleukins, and immunoglobulins. Even only a single session of aerobic exercises produces improvements in the utmost immune markers, such as T-lymphocytes, leukocytes, and immunoglobulins. Also, burned patients suffer from post-traumatic stress and stress can cause this alteration through its effect on increasing the amounts of serum corticosteroid and catecholamine hormones, thus a decrease in the immunity response might occur. Increasing the aerobic capacity can significantly improve the mood. This might be attributed to the effect of aerobic exercises on decreasing stress hormones, like corticosteroids and catecholamines hormones. The altered metabolism post major burn also affects the immune system in burn patients and the aerobic training enhances the metabolism, body composition and the lean mass and so, enhances the immune system. One of the most important factors for a good and effective immune system is the balanced diet especially diet rich in vitamin D, fibers, and multiple nuts and seeds such as almond, walnut, pistachio, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and sesame seed that have an crucial role in improving the immune system either acting on it directly or indirectly by enhancing the general heath of the body and the patients mood.
The study started after the second COVID-19 vaccination of the participant with blood spots appearing on the skin with severe arthritis. The study continued to the third-dose full vaccination of the participant with the recombined COVID-19 vaccination and afterwards. The study completed until intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the role of wheat and corn germ blended oils in regulating oxidative stress and immunomodulation in dyslipidaemic populations, to explore their effects on intestinal flora, antioxidant and immunomodulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does phytosterol-rich wheat corn germ blended oil affect oxidative stress and immune function in dyslipidaemic people compared to peanut oil? - How does phytosterol-rich wheat corn germ blended oil affect serum metabolites, serum fatty acid profile, and intestinal flora in dyslipidaemic populations compared to peanut oil? What are the specific mechanisms involved? Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups, the packaging of germ oil and peanut oil will have a uniform appearance, and participants will be instructed to replace their household cooking oils with the distributed cooking oil for three months, in addition to replacing all the canteens in the staff units with the trial oil for more than three months. Participants did not know who was the control oil, germ oil or peanut oil, and both were randomly distributed to different groups of participants by the third-party supervisors. Researchers will compare peanut oil to see if phytosterol-rich germ oil can improve oxidative stress and immune function in dyslipidaemic populations, in addition to exploring possible underlying mechanisms of improvement using multi-omics techniques.
A phase 2, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effect of tezepelumab on airway inflammation in patients with COPD.
In this study the response to vaccination and development of the immune system in very preterm infants upon the current vaccination schedule will be compared to healthy term infants.
The main objective is to determine the effect that supplementation with 4.8 g/day of w-3 FA [3.2g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1.6 g docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] have on the inflammatory state of obese patients (BMI ≥ 35.0 kg/m2), at the metabolic, cellular and molecular levels.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most promising approaches to fighting cancer. However, a substantial percentage of patients experience off-target adverse effects in the form of mild to severe inflammation in different organs, commonly called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). irAEs can lead to treatment discontinuation, or can be life-threatening in extreme cases. The causes of irAEs are largely unknown and there are no reliable predictive biomarkers. The Montreal Immune-Related Adverse Events (MIRAE) study collects clinical information and biospecimens (blood, tissue, stool) from cancer patients treated with ICI to facilitate research on the identification of predictive biomarkers of irAEs, their causes, and the design of effective management strategies.
In the PRINCE study we recruit healthy but also diseased pregnant women into a cohort study, followed by the assessment of children´s health and immunity at birth and during the first 10 years of life. This unique cohort allows for testing the impact of prenatal challenges on children´s health.
In light of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the investigators want to better study the immunological characteristics of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infections in adults. The investigators invite volunteers to participate in a clinical study to better understand what happens after an infection with SARS-CoV2. By collecting and analysing blood samples of people that were infected, the investigators want to evaluate whether or not the participants had an adaptive immune response with the producting of immunoglobulin. The investigators will evaluate the quality of the antibodies and their neutralising capacity. In a selected patient group with strong antibody response, the investigators will try to reproduce them in the lab after the collection of a larger blood sample (max 72 mL) of, in case of insufficient B-cells, a leucapheresis (after consent of the patient). These antibodies can be used in clinical trials to evaluate whether the investigators can cure patients faster or prevent disease by the utilisation of these antibodies. Aside from the aforementioned information the investigators will also collect clinical data such as: demographic information, medical history, routine lab results, radiographic imaging and medication use. After the completion of the study, the samples will be stored for 30 years with consent of the participants.
