Filter by:In this observational study, the investigators will examine the changes in body composition in HIV-infected subjects before and after initiation of HIV treatment, and look at the correlations with changes in cardiometabolic indices such as endothelial function and coronary calcium scoring.
In this study, eligible patients with the medical indications (facial lipoatrophy, morphological asymmetry of the face, or debilitating scars) will be treated with Princess® VOLUME, and then will return for follow-up assessments 2, 4, 24, and 36 weeks after the treatment. A touch-up treatment may be done 2 weeks after the treatment if deemed appropriate by the Investigator.
In this study, eligible patients with the medical indications (facial lipoatrophy, morphological asymmetry of the face, or debilitating scars) will be treated with Princess® FILLER, and then will return for follow-up assessments 2, 4 and 24 weeks after the treatment. A touch-up treatment may be done 2 weeks after the treatment.
The investigators hypothesized that pneumococcal vaccination with either the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine PPV-23 (Pneumovax-23) alone or the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV-13 (Prevnar-13) followed by PPV-23 results in a similar antibody levels/functional antibody activity and induce similar pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS)-specific B cell response in HIV positive individuals > 50 years of age, HIV positive individuals 21-40 years of age as compared to HIV negative > 50 years of age. The investigators immunized the study groups HIV+ persons >50, HIV+ persons 21-40 and controls (HIV negative) with PCV 13 followed by PPV23 and HIV>50 with PPV alone and examined immune responses to polysaccharide (PPS) 23 (F),14, 3, 7 (F) and 19 (A) using polysaccharide specific ELISA and opsonophagocytic assays (OPA). Pre- and post-immunization peripheral blood samples were obtained. Extensive B cell phenotype analysis using fluorescent antibodies was used to characterize PPS-labeled B cells. Specific phenotypes were correlated with antibody levels and OPA and compared to populations immunized with PPV
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a zinc-free insulin is an effective treatment option for lipoatrophy in patients with type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and insulin pump (CSII, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) therapy.
Studying patients with rare adipose tissue disorders may help the investigators to better understand the pathophysiology of diabetes and dyslipidemia in relation to adiposity, and thus have an enormous impact on public health.
The project aims to compare the use of carboxiterapia ( therapeutic administration of carbon dioxide) with the use of active TENS and placebo TENS using the VAS scale as a parameter. The therapy used was started in the 30s , with carbonated water baths, and , lately, is involved in the therapeutic arsenal of numerous diseases , Both for treatment of diseases when for aesthetic treatments , especially for the gynoid lipodystrophy. However, the therapy presents CO2 in clinical practice, limiting factors for its use , such as pain at the injection site , small bruises or welts due to several punctures and feeling of crepitus. To try to combat these " side effects " that can last up to 30 minutes, the TENS was used in order to determine whether the use of this electric current helps at improvement of discomfort.
A subset of patients with NAFLD that have not been extensively studied are those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Currently, there is no FDA approved treatment for NAFLD or NASH. Additionally, there have been no significant clinical trials for HIV patients with NAFLD and there are no approved treatment options. We plan to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to examine the efficacy of 600 mg of Aramchol daily (including 200 mg tablet and 400 mg tablet) versus identical placebo given over 12 weeks to improve HIV-associated hepatic steatosis as measured by a validated and accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technique.
The study investigators' aim is to determine the long term safety and efficacy of Metreleptin (Myalept,) in promoting amelioration of metabolic abnormalities in patients with all forms of partial lipodystrophy. Patients will be offered this protocol under the following condition: Subjects have completed University of Michigan research protocol MB002-014 and have shown improved clinical benefit as judged by clinical criteria set forth in this protocol.
This Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, healthy volunteer study tested the safety, tolerability, and plasma pharmacokinetics of two different concentrations of TAT4 Gel administered once daily to 50 cm2 of skin for 14 days.
