Filter by:Long-term follow-up of unilateral microtia patients implanted with AUR-201.
AUR-201 is indicated for the treatment of Grade II, III, or IV unilateral microtia in patients 8 to 29 years of age.
Alcohol use is increasingly prevalent in modern society and is known to cause cognitive impairment and dysregulation of inflammatory responses. In the present study, the investigators want to perform a randomised controlled trials to test whether nitrate could change the oral microbiota and benefit the cognitive impairment in alcohol dependence patients. The investigators survey the oral bacterial communities in saliva samples of 70 alcohol dependent patients following 14 days of dietary inorganic nitrate (nitrate-rich beetroot juice, ~750 mg NO3- /d) and placebo (nitrate-depleted beetroot juice, ~1 mg NO3- /d) supplementation.
Nutritional status is a measurable and modifiable factor that is often not considered during treatment and its clinical impact undervalued due in part to the heavy demands on clinicians in low and middle income countries to deliver therapy to large numbers of patients. The proposed study will create a biobank of clinical data and biological specimens which will foster future studies on cancer progression and prognosis as well as toxicities during treatment which may impact survivorship and late-effects. Eligible patients must be between 3 years and 18 years of age at time of assent/consent, have newly diagnosed B- or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or mixed phenotype acute leukemia confirmed by pathology report, and must be receiving treatment at one of the participating centers. Patients receiving hematopoietic cell transplant will be excluded. Institutions were selected to ensure representation of several global health indicators related to nutritional status and wealth classification according to the World Bank. Data related to demographic variables (socioeconomic status, food security), lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity), nutritional anthropometrics (height, weight and arm anthropometry), and nutritional biological indices (stool and blood) will be collected at designated timepoints throughout treatment and one year after the end of treatment.
The goal of this research is to compare alterations of gut microbiota and fecal metabolomics alterations between inflammatory bowel disease patients infected with or without Clostridioides difficile. The main questions it aim to answer are: which bacterial genus or fecal metabolites can discriminate IBD patients infected or more likely to be infected with Clostridioides difficile and their role in the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile. type of study: observational study participant population/health conditions 1. population diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease 2. Having diarrhea Participants will be included in this research. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare healthy people without IBD or any diarrhea to see if disease or diarrhea would affect the gut microbiota and metabolites.
Among people living with HIV, heavy drinking increases the risk of heart disease and death. Studies suggest that alcohol changes the number and kind of bacteria in your gut and these changes increase the risk of heart disease and death. This randomized controlled trial will determine whether a pill containing healthy gut bacteria can increase the number good bacteria in the gut, lower levels of inflammation, and lower the risk of heart disease and death.
The study involves patients with microtia of certain criteria will undergo tissue expansion by silicone bags in the postauricular region then Medpor implants will be applied undercover of the expanded skin for reconstruction of the auricule instead of the costal cartilage graft
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a six-week period personalised food intervention with prebiotic supplementation on intense exercise performance in healthy, recreationally active adults.
Background: Children with microtia complain of severe postoperative pain during early postoperative days after rib cartilage harvest for auricular reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of intercostal nerve block (ICNB) and paravertebral block(PV) for preventing postoperative pain after rib cartilage graft for auricular reconstruction in children with microtia. Methods: In this prospective randomized study, 144 children will be enrolled in this study and randomized into 3 groups:48 patients will received ultrasound-guided ICNB(UG-ICNB group);48 patients will receive ICNB under direct vision (DV-ICNB group) and 48 patients will receive paravertebral block(PV group) undergoing postoperative pain control using either preventive ICNB followed by catheter-based infusion (33 patients, study group) or intravenous (IV) analgesia alone (33 patients, control group). ICNB will be performed by injecting 1% lidocaine plus 1/200000 epinephrine 3ml into each of three intercostal spaces before perichondrial dissection. PV will be carried out by injecting 1% lidocaine plus 1/200000 epinephrine 9ml into T7 paravertebral space just after induction of anesthesia.before wound closure.Each patient receive patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) after surgery.Severity of pain,nausea,vomiting and other side effects would be assessed for the postoperative period of 48 hours.
This study examine oral bisphenol A consumption on muscle insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose suppression. Half of the participants will receive a diet plus BPA and the other half will receive a diet plus no bisphenol A.
