Filter by:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked genetic disorder that causes severe neurological development disorder. In its classic form, it seems to affect almost exclusively females with an incidence of up to one in 10,000 females. Patients affected by Rett Syndrome can present a wide range of symptoms, in different combinations and of varying intensity, such as slowed growth of head circumference, abnormalities in walking and balance, loss of functional use of the hands often replaced by repetitive and stereotyped hand movements like "hand washing", loss of communicative-relational skills including expressive language, epilepsy, breathing abnormalities, and osteo-muscular alterations. In light of the growing potential of clinical therapies, identification and early diagnosis are considered essential. Many disease modification strategies have been achieved through translational research studies and clinical trials that have allowed the recognition of the most effective therapeutic and clinical interventions to date. This study arises from the need to advance in the understanding of the pathogenesis of RTT through a multicentric collaboration in order to (a) identify early biomarkers of RTT (b) delve into the alterations of interconnectivity, crucial for understanding the loss of motor functions and language through systematic collection of anamnestic, genetic, and clinical-instrumental data. The aim is to provide a valuable contribution to the study of the clinical phenotype of Rett and the identification of early interventions.
Pathogenic variants in subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) have been identified not only in mothers of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) babies but also in women with reproductive disturbances such as failed pregnancy attempts and recurrent pregnancy loss. Based on the higher incidence of BWS in children born from Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), this project aims to investigate incidence and molecular mechanism of pathogenic variants of SCMC in women with reproductive disorders. Study objectives will be (i) assess the incidence of these variants as a cause of differences in reproductive outcomes in the infertile female population and mothers of children with BWS; (ii) identify methylation changes in women with reproductive problems including those with offspring affected by BWS; (iii) determine the molecular causes underlying female infertility and imprinting disorder associated with damaging SCMC gene variants by employing a mouse model.
The Diagnostic Experience of Male Rett Syndrome collects information on the lived experiences of parents or caregivers to boys with Rett Syndrome. Key information examined includes the process of getting a male Rett syndrome diagnosis, your son's systems of care, and your priorities for his health needs. Enrolled participants will complete an online survey with questions about having a son with Rett Syndrome. The Diagnostic Experience of Male Rett Syndrome study is available to parents or caregivers to boys (alive or passed) with Rett Syndrome. Compensation is not provided.
This study is planned to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of OM-89 in Patients with Recurrent Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS)
The overall aim of the study is to improve understanding of refeeding syndrome (RFS) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) using metabolomics. Patients are included as part of a prospective multicenter observational study on phosphate disorders in the ICU. Blood samples are collected day 1-7 of ICU stay. Samples from patients who develop refeeding hypophosphatemia and matched controls without hypophosphatemia are analysed for metabolomics and proteomics. Untargeted analyses will be performed to identify the affected metabolic pathways. The investigators will also perform AUROC analyses to identify potential biomarkers for early detection of RFS.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the best way to manage evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).
We aimed to investigate serum uric acid levels in patients with different phenotype of policystic ovary syndrome and to compare healthy controls.
This is a non-randomized pilot study to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a transdiagnostic psychological intervention for primary care patients in Region Stockholm, Sweden, who suffer from persistent and disabling fatigue.
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a disease caused by disrupted immune function. People with HLH are prone to fevers and illnesses, which can be fatal. Some people develop a genetic form of this disease (pHLH), but researchers do not understand why some other people develop a nongenetic form (sHLH). They also do not have good ways to diagnose and treat sHLH. Objective: To learn about sHLH and why some people get it and others do not. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with sHLH. Design: Participants will be admitted to the study based on a review of their medical records. Those who join will have at least 3 clinical evaluations over 9 to 12 months. These may occur during an inpatient hospitalization if they require medical care or in the outpatient clinic. Participants will also have a physical exam at each visit. Up to half a cup of blood will be drawn at each visit. Participants may also have their blood drawn by their own doctors, who will send the samples to the researchers. Researchers may also contact these participants by telephone or video calls. The blood will be used for clinical tests as well as research. No new treatments will be administered as part of this study; however, standard medications and treatments may be recommended. Participants may opt to continue their visits once a year for 3 more years. Participants may also opt for an extra clinial evaluation 1 week after starting a new treatment....
Patients diagnosed with a diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome performed according to the ACR/EULAR criteria will be included in the study. Sjogren's syndrome diagnosis will be performed following a complete diagnostic work-up involving rheumatologic assessment, glandular functional tests, and blood testing for anti-Ro(SSA) antibodies. Conventional ultrasonography of major salivary glands and ultra-high frequency ultrasonography (70 MHz) of minor salivary glands will be performed, and the scans assessed using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) scoring system (Score 0 normal glandular tissue, Score 1 mild glandular alteration, fine echogenicity or diffuse hypo-echogenicity, Score 2 moderate glandular alteration and focal hypoechoic areas with partial conservation of normal parenchyma, Score 3 diffuse presence of hypoechoic areas in the absence of normal glandular parenchyma with glandular fibrosis. Focus Score will be assessed following biopsy of minor salivary glands.
