Filter by:To determine the feasibility of an 8-week fucoidan supplement intervention for patients with fatigue post-cancer treatment and assess changes in fatigue, frailty, and inflammation.
The goal of this registry study is to optimize the results with intraocular lens implants used in cataract surgery.
This study aims to evaluate how savoring influences reward and threat processes and downstream inflammation. Savoring is designed to enhance positive affect, which may blunt stress responses and reduce downstream inflammation. The investigators aim to examine changes in the brain following the savoring intervention. The investigators are particularly interested in changes in brain activity that are correlated with changes in inflammation-related markers in the blood. In this single-armed pilot trial, the investigators will assess how savoring alters reactivity to rewarding and threatening experiences, and then examine related changes in downstream inflammation. The investigators intend to recruit 20 undergraduate students to complete a 7-week standardized savoring intervention. Participants will complete brain scans, daily diaries, questionnaires, a behavioral task, and blood collection at pre- and post-intervention assessments.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of home treatment with a postbiotic-based gel for the management of periodontal inflammation in patients with Down syndrome. Patients will be enrolled at the S.C. Odontostomatologia dell'Azienda Ospedaliera "Ordine Mauriziano di Torino", Turin, Italy. After the collection of the periodontal clinical indexes (BoP%, PCR%, dental mobility, mMGI, compliance and satisfaction questionnaire), patients will undergo a professional mechanical debridement with ultrasonic instruments and glycine powders. Then, they will be randomly divided into two groups according to the home treatment: - in the Trial group Biorepair Plus Parodontgel Intensive (containing microRepair®, hyaluronic acid, Lactobacillus Ferment and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder) will be used once a day for all the duration of the study - in the Control group, a placebo gel without (active ingredients) will be used once a day for all the duration of the study. Indexes will be re-evaluated after 1 (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 months. The professional mechanical debridement will be performed again at T3 timepoint.
The participants were divided into two groups : group one ( Trunatomy file group)(n=10) was mechanically prepared the canals by Trunatomy file and group two ( Edgeendo x7 file group) ( n=10) was prepared the canals by Edgeendo x7 file, the participants were assessed pain preoperatively and postoperatively by Visual Analog Scale(VAS)
Morbid obesity emerges as a problem that causes serious complications and increased mortality rates. The most effective treatment for morbid obesity today is surgical treatment. The most preferred type of surgery in morbid obesity surgery in Turkey and around the world is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). While postoperative complications are divided into early and late complications, complications that develop during surgery and in the postoperative period before discharge are defined as perioperative complications. Early surgical complications after LSG include complications such as staple line bleeding, leaks, pulmonary thromboembolism, and torsion of the remnant stomach. It is important to detect these complications, which can be controlled with early intervention in the perioperative period. Monitoring blood parameters and monitoring inflammation are methods that are easily accessible and provide rapid evaluation. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which are used in the evaluation and detection of postoperative complications, have shed light on studies in this direction. Pan immune inflammation value (PIV) is calculated from blood parameters and has been used to evaluate prognosis and chemotherapy results in colorectal cancer. In this study, the diagnostic importance of changes in NLR, PLR, and PIV values in the preoperative and postoperative periods will be investigated in detecting complications that develop in the perioperative period before discharge in patients who underwent LSG.
Acute muscle strain injuries occur both during sports, in leisure time activities and during manual occupation and represent a major clinical challenge and has societal economic costs. The recovery time is long and a substantial injury recurrence is observed. Despite current best evidence rehabilitation with early mechanical loading, a significant loss of muscle mass, fatty infiltration and formation of scar tissue is reported. Animal models and human in vitro experiments suggest that inflammation is vital in the early period after an injury, however an inhibition of inflammatory processes is beneficial for healing. We investigate here whether a pharmacological inhibition of inflammatory pathways in the 2nd week following a muscle strain injury will provide a better clinical outcome and an advantageous cellular profile than rehabilitative training alone would.
Patients undergoing open colorectal surgery were randomly divided into two groups: Intravenous Lidocaine (IV-Lido) vs Intravenous Ketamine (IV-Keta). For the IV-Lido group, patients received a loading dose of Lidocaine than a continuous infusion over twenty-four hours. For the IV-Keta goup, patients received a loading dose of Ketamine than a continuous injection of Ketamine over twenty-four hours. Plasma concentrations of Interleukin-6(IL-6) were measured preoperatively before anesthetic induction and at twenty-four hour post operatively.
A phase I clinical research study aimed at determining mechanisms that regulate airway mucosal inflammation in asthma endotypes using intranasal administration of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide from E. coli) in healthy controls and subjects diagnosed with asthma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of using the SinuSonic on psychological and physical well-being in adults who have nasal/sinus congestion. The study aims are: - Aim #1: to evaluate the effect of the SinuSonic on physical and psychological well-being in individuals with chronic nasal congestion; - Aim #2: to evaluate the relationship between autonomic reactivity and psychological well-being (i.e., anxiety and depression) in individuals with chronic nasal congestion; - Exploratory Aim: to evaluate the impact of adverse experiences on physical and psychological well-being in individuals who experience chronic nasal congestion. Participants will be asked to complete self-report measures of physical health, mental health and autonomic regulation before using SinuSonic (i.e., baseline research session) and after 5 weeks of directed use (post-intervention). Demographic information and adverse experiences will be documented during the baseline research session. Participants will be asked to document (weekly) current nasal symptoms and SinuSonic usage.
