Filter by:Epidural analgesia is associated with maternal intra-partum fever during labor. Intermittent epidural injections appear to reduce the incidence of maternal intra-partum fever compared to continuous epidural infusion during labor analgesia. However, the optimal combination of bolus volume and administrating interval has not yet been compared. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial was to determine how intermittent epidural bolus reduced the incidence of maternal intra-partum fever compared with continuous epidural infusion during labor.
The purpose of this study is to determine energy expenditure and sleep in response to protein/carbohydrate and fat ratio of the diet over a short-term and long-term period of time.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the probiotic KE-99 Lactobacillus casei when administered with omega-3 fish oil on probiotic viability, fecal make-up and gastrointestinal (GI) health in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of Altaire Gel forming solution and Refresh Tears in mild-moderate dry eye patients.
Recently, several conditioning regimens did not include total body irradiation (TBI) anymore, especially in the case of young children due to cognitive sequelae and late effects on growth and height. Thus, such effective chemotherapy conditioning regimens were developed to avoid these complications. Busulfan is one of the major drugs used in these treatments, but, is also administered in high dose chemotherapy followed by autograft. In both situations, long term pulmonary side effects were diagnosed in a few cases. Even if the occurrence is not very frequent, the clinical management is a real challenge regarding the reduced quality of life and life expectancy of these patients. Up to now, no correlation was done between respiratory sequelae and busulfan pharmacokinetics. Hence, in the investigators' pediatric onco-hematological unit, a prospective study will begin and last three years to assess the respiratory side effects due to busulfan and their potential links with individual drug pharmacokinetic measures. These results will be compared to patients treated with TBI during the same period of time.
This is a study designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with L-carnitine will improve the quality of life and some specific symptoms and signs in patients with renal failure submitted to hemodialysis.
