Filter by:Background: COVID-19 left consequences in different organs from months to years requiring different types of rehabilitation. In fact, a severe loss in the lung function, and in the respiratory and peripheral muscle strength is commonly observed in post-COVID-19 patients. Objectives: Thus, the present study investigated whether 30 days of supplementation with a nutritional blend (ImmuneRecov®; composition: whey protein concentrate, astaxanthin, creatine, selenium, vitamin C, glutamic acid, tryptophan, magnesium) would help to minimize the respiratory (lung function) and muscular (respiratory and peripheral muscles) sequelae in post-COVID-19 patients.
This is a multicenter, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-comparison study conducted at sites in the United States (US) in subjects undergoing routine unilateral cataract extraction and lens replacement (CELR) surgery via phacoemulsification
Persistent viral infection with viral reservoirs and detection of circulating spike protein after the initial acute illness is one potential pathogenic mechanism for Long COVID. This mechanism may be susceptible to antiviral therapy that blocks viral replication, which has the potential to alleviate long COVID symptoms. This trial will study the safety and efficacy of Ensitrelvir (S-217622), an antiviral, to treat individuals with Long COVID in an adult population.
The LION Study is a prospective, single-center phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and distribution of Laquinimod administered as topical eye drops for two weeks in human participants.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter ablation using pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in an established treatment strategy for AF. Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal ablation modality which has recently been introduced in clinical practice with the aim of improving PVI efficacy and safety. The aim of this study is to analyse whether PFA generates a lower inflammatory reaction as compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
The aim of our study is to evaluate the prognostic roles of serum albumin level and systemic inflammation-related indices, including and not including serum albumin level, in the radiological progression of gonarthrosis. In this retrospective study, between 10.01.2017 and 10.01.2022, the data of the patients between the ages of 50-80, who applied to Ufuk University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of knee pain and met the clinical criteria of the American Rheumatology Association for gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis) (knee pain on many days of the previous month, crepitation with active joint movement, morning stiffness lasting ≤ 30 minutes, age ≥38 years, bone enlargement of the knee on examination),and whose knee radiography and blood tests were evaluated at admission were scanned.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of 12 weeks of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango on glucose control, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition in individuals with prediabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on indicators of glycemic control including fasting glucose and HgbA1c? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on fasting blood insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on lipids including LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on oxidative stress including oxidized LDL-cholesterol and 8-iso-PGF2-alpha? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on markers of inflammation including c-reactive protein, e-selectin, ICAM and VCAM? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on percent body fat, fat mass, and lean mass? Participants will be asked to: - Consume 1.5 cups of mango per day for 12 weeks, take a 4 week break, and then avoid consuming mangos for 12 weeks - Attend a prerandomization clinic prior to study - Attend three (3) clinics where blood will be drawn during weeks 0, 12, and 28 of the study - Attend eight (8) clinics where anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body composition) will be conducted and interaction with study clinicians will occur during weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 of the study - Complete questionnaires and surveys in person and remotely, including six (6) 24-hour dietary recalls. Researchers will compare the 12 weeks participants consume mango to the 12 weeks the participants are not consuming mango to see if there are differences in glycemic indicators, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition between the two time periods.
Show that there is a relationship between arterial stiffness and aortic parietal inflammation and that this relationship is different in the three age groups with aortic parietal inflammation occurring earlier than arterial stiffness.
The goal of this observational study is to define the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with intestinal bowel disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Evaluate the influence of chronic rhinosinusitis on the quality of life of patients with intestinal bowel disease - Evaluate any relationships between chronic rhinosinusitis and the clinical course of intestinal bowel disease -Evaluate the influence of chronic rhinosinusitis on the response to biologic therapies for intestinal bowel disease - Evaluate mucosal barrier damage in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and intestinal bowel disease by collecting blood and stool samples according to clinical practice - Presence of enterotoxin sensitization to S. Aureus in patients with intestinal bowel disease - Histopathological evaluation: reevaluation of biopsy slides performed according to clinical practice will be performed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and intestinal bowel disease in order to quantify the proportion of eosinophilic infiltrate at the intestinal level and to assess any differences from the population with intestinal bowel disease only. Patients with intestinal bowel disease afferent to our outpatient chronic inflammatory bowel disease clinic at CEMAD will be enrolled.
Depression in people living with HIV is associated with worse care engagement, drug adherence, and higher rates of pre-mature mortality. The prevalence of depression is three times greater in those with HIV than comparable controls. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) enables immune reconstitution, those with depression do worse clinically than those without depression even when controlling for HIV stage. However, treating depression in HIV-infected persons is challenging. Even among those virologically suppressed on ART, a significant percentage are resistant to standard pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy for depression. The reasons for this are complex and poorly understood. An emerging body of evidence indicates that inflammation may perpetuate depression. Given people with HIV have ongoing increased inflammation, this could help explain part of why depression rates are so high in people with HIV. Treatments for HIV-associated depression would likely be more effective if they were anti- inflammatory in nature. One possible treatment is exercise. Exercise is acutely pro-inflammatory due to catabolism but in the long term is anti-inflammatory. However, few studies have investigated exercise as a treatment for HIV-associated depression. The study objective is to perform a feasibility study to evaluate a larger trial evaluating the efficacy of exercise as an intervention for depression in people with HIV.
