Filter by:Currently, there are different strategies to prevent the effect of beverages and foods on blood glucose levels after ingestion. In this sense, polyphenols are a promising field; these compounds are secondary metabolites produced by plants, vegetables, and fruits; of these compounds, gallic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol stand out for their antihyperglycemic characteristics through a) complex formation, b) enzymatic inhibition, c) affecting transport and, d) stimulation of the secretion of intestinal satiety hormones. Vachellia farnesiana (VF) is a shrub distributed in arid, semi-arid, and tropical regions of Mexico and the world. The polyphenols of the fruits of VF in pre-clinical studies by this research group have shown important antioxidant activity and antihyperglycemic effects. The present proposal aims to evaluate the effect of the polyphenolic extract of Vachellia farnesiana on glycemic response and to monitor liver and renal function tests as a safety control in healthy volunteers through developing a Phase I clinical study.
The current standard of care for limiting the movement of mechanically ventilated critical care patients is the use of physical wrist restraints, which are both ineffective in preventing removal of invasive and adjunct respiratory support devices and have a multitude of negative physical and psychological consequences for the patient. The objective of the proposed research is to test an innovative device designed to allow more freedom of movement of mechanically ventilated patients without bending of the arms, thereby preventing removal of adjunct mechanical ventilation devices and invasive monitoring equipment.
Subjects who normally use tampons will use Tulipon device during one menstrual cycle. Baseline and post usage clinical evaluation will be performed for safety testing.
The pathogen reduction system for whole blood using amustaline (S-303) and glutathione (GSH) hast a potential to decrease transfusion-transmitted infection. There is a scientific basis to hypothesize, that cells containing DNA and RNA such as bacteria, viruses and parasites that could be present in blood collected from asymptomatic infected donors are inactivated in the treated whole blood and therefore reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections. The aim of the study is to assess the safety of whole blood treated with amustaline and glutathione and transfused in patients with anemia. This is a first-in-human-subjects study. Whole blood (WB) products treated with the amustaline (S-303) and glutathione (GSH) pathogen reduction technology have not been evaluated in human beings. However, red blood cells concentrates treated with amustaline and GSH have been evaluated in multiple clinical studies. The study described in this protocol is a randomized, controlled, open-label Phase I clinical trial. 20 patients will be randomized into either the Test or Control arm in a ratio of 1:1. 10 patients assigned to the Test arm will receive one amustaline/GSH treated whole blood product. 10 patients assigned to the Control arm will receive the Standard of Care (SOC), either one red blood cell (RBC) component or one whole blood product.
In this study patients are randomized between same-day discharge and overnight stay after undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy or myomectomy. The goal is to both compare patients' satisfaction and safety and quality of life (QOL) as well as financial consequences between the two groups. The investigators hope to demonstrate that same-day discharge is safe and feasible for most patients with the same level of satisfaction and safety and QOL compared to overnight stay. And also the investigators seek to determine which demographic, medical, social and intra-operative factors influence duration of admission, satisfaction, safety and QOL.
The aim of current study is to compare safety and efficacy of lansoprazole/domperidone 30/30 mg sustained release capsules (brand name: Duolans) and lansoprazole 30 mg micropellet capsules (brand name: Lasotab) in GERD patients in terms of cardiac safety.
