Filter by:This was a randomized controlled study. The infants enrolled were randomly divided into the IOE group (with Intermittent Oro-Esophageal Tube Feeding, n=25) and the PNG group (with Nasogastric Tube Feeding, n=23), all receiving systemic therapy. Before and after 4-week treatment, pulmonary infection, swallowing function, nutritional status and body weight between the two group were compared.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and efficacy of oral decitabine/cedazuridine in combination with magrolimab.
This study will determine if FSD201 reduces the average daily 24-hour recall pain intensity after 28 and 56 days of treatment in adults with chronic widespread musculoskeletal nociplastic pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Blood Flow Restriction therapy improves patient related outcomes in those diagnosed with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome compared to those in the sham comparator control group.
It is a single-center, open, single-arm, non-randomized investigator-initiated trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of recombinant adeno-associated virus administration for patients with Menkes syndrome.
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, also known as GTPS (Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome) is a complex clinical condition characterized by chronic and recurrent pain in the lateral region of the hip, near the greater trochanter of the femur. Biomechanical and anatomic-histologic interactions of the structures of the peri trochanteric space, in which, given the close anatomic-functional relationships, the origin can be traced to three different pathologic entities that may influence each other and fuel the progressive exacerbation of symptomatology. These are: external snap hip, trochanteric bursitis, and tendinopathies of the tendons of the gluteus mediums and gluteus minimums muscles. Recent studies regarding GTPS have shown that in most cases this condition is due to degenerative tendinopathy of the tendons of the gluteus minimums and gluteus mediums muscles. Tendinopathy is defined as a pathological condition associated with histological changes that may result in a change in the organization of collagen fibrils, relative increase in the percentage of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and no collagenous components of the ECM accompanied by neo-vascularization and inflammatory state. Tendinopathies thus result in painful symptomatology that very often also results in biomechanical functional deficit. Clinically, GTPS presents as pain that is often debilitating and exacerbated by activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and lying on the affected side at night, associated with a progressive loss of stenia in hip abduction movements. On objective examination, a point of tenderness (trigger point) is noted at the level of the region of the greater trochanter, which may radiate to the lumbar area and along the lateral aspect of the thigh to the ipsilateral knee and a difficulty on strength versus resistance tests in hip abduction movements. Although it is a very common syndrome, the treatment of painful grand trochanter syndrome, as well as that of tendinopathies in general, is still a major hurdle because the specific cellular pathogenetic and biomechanical etiopathogenetic mechanisms are still partly unknown and many treatments are empirical. Traditionally, the treatment of GTPS is initially conservative and includes rest, ice, NSAIDs and physiotherapy with stretching exercises of the fascia late. The use of corticosteroids, with systemic or local infiltrative intake, for the treatment of tendinopathies is highly controversial and, in any case, does not seem to have long-term efficacy. MD-Tissue Collagen Medical Device is an injectable medical device based on porcine collagen type I; the collagen content is 100µg/2mL. Porcine collagen is like human collagen and highly compatible; it has very low risks of inducing adverse effects and is therefore used in several clinical settings.
Endocrine diseases including Cushing's syndrome and phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) but not Conn's syndrome are associated with muscle wasting and weakness. The study's aim is to identify epigenetic determinants of muscle homeostasis in these conditions following medical treatment and adrenalectomy. This is an observational pilot study that will recruit 66 patients from 3 diagnostic groups: Cushing's syndrome (16), PPGL (20) and Conn's syndrome (30). Indices of muscle bulk and strength will be assessed at diagnosis and at outpatient follow-up 6-9 weeks after adrenalectomy. At these times blood and urine will be collected and a muscle biopsy taken from the operation site at the time of surgery. Pathway analysis in these samples will identify potentially novel signalling pathways contributing to muscle wasting via prolonged exposure to high levels of corticosteroid and catecholamines. This will highlight commonalities and differences in pathogenesis of muscle wasting from a variety of different causes. Finally, it will inform identification of novel therapies for muscle atrophy.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common condition with prevalence was up to 80%. Symptoms associated with GSM include vaginal or vulvar dryness, itchiness, dyspareunia, increased urinary frequency or urgency and dysuria. Although the symptoms are disturbing and causing a significant negative impact on quality of life, it is observed that only a minority of the women receive proper treatment. Treating these GSM-associated symptoms properly is important because these symptoms usually persist with time, unlike vasomotor symptoms of menopause which may subside spontaneously with time. The clinical efficacy and metabolism of vaginal DHEA has been evaluated in western population. However, there is lack of local data on the effectiveness of vaginal DHEA in treating Chinese women with GSM. Therefore, we aim at evaluating the clinical outcome of our participants who have moderate to severe symptoms of GSM who has been treated with vaginal DHEA.
In the current COVID-19 pandemic, many patients have an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Among mechanisms related to COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome, cytokine storm and secretion of IL-6 play a central role. ARDS management involves intubation for protective mechanical ventilation, deep sedation and curarisation. During intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization, improvement of hematosis induces a switch from a controlled ventilation mode to a withdrawal ventilation mode, such as Spontaneous Ventilation with Pressure Support (SP-PS) or Adaptative Support Ventilation (ASV). This step is essential prior to considering complete weaning from controlled ventilation and sometimes ends with a failure. In this case, deterioration of hematosis and/or ventilatory mechanics is observed. At the same time as withdrawal failure, the investigators observed biological inflammatory rebound in some patients. Therefore, influence of inflammatory biological parameters, including IL-6, on withdrawal failure, needs to be investigated. To this end, the investigators decide to dose different inflammatory markers - such as IL6, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Procalcitonin (PCT) - in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19, during standard of care. Indeed, in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome not due to COVID-19, the increase in IL6 is a negative prognosis during medical first aid but also when the mechanical ventilation is withdrawn. In addition, IL6 rise is associated with poor prognosis for patients with COVID-19 and longer stays in intensive care.
