Filter by:There is growing evidence that nutritional intervention with dietary polyphenols can positively modulate the gut microbiota to improve cardiometabolic health. Whether the beneficial effects of blueberries on obesity and the metabolic syndrome can be linked to their potential impact on the gut microbiota and intestinal integrity remains speculative at this time. Moreover, the mechanisms of action underlying health benefits associated to blueberry consumption are still unknown. The investigators are thus proposing to combine the study of metagenomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics to test whether a prebiotic activity of highbush blueberries can play a role in the prevention of obesity-linked metabolic syndrome in a clinical setting.
This study will evaluate the safety of autologous T cells that have been immunized ex vivo with patient-specific MDS stem cell neoantigens in patients with MDS.
Central nervous system (CNS) changes associated with pain have been difficult to measure until the development of functional neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET). We have previously observed asymmetry in the thalamus associated with chronic pain that altered during acupuncture therapy. Imaging studies of therapeutic techniques for chronic pain in animals and humans have been quite limited. This study will be the first to utilize FDG PET-MRI imaging of both the brain and body in order to assess CNS changes and peripheral body changes related to chronic pain and its potential management.
The purpose of this study is to determine, in preterm infants less than 37 weeks gestation with respiratory distress who are ventilated in the first 48 hours after birth, if mid frequency ventilation strategy using ventilator rate of ≥ 60 to ≤ 150 per minute compared with standard frequency ventilation strategy using ventilator rates of ≥ 20 to < 60 per minute will increase the number of alive ventilator-free days after randomization and reduce the risk of ventilator induced lung injury.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death despite huge primary and secondary prevention policies with a strong economic burden. The primary objectives of the ILERVAS project are: (i) to identify unknown factors involved in the presence of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and hidden kidney disease in a low/moderate cardiovascular risk population; (ii) to identify unknown factors involved in the progression of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and hidden kidney disease in a low/moderate cardiovascular risk population; (iii) to Assess of the impact of arterial ultrasound on cardiovascular events and mortality in a low/moderate cardiovascular risk population. METHODS: Randomized intervention study. From 2015 to 2018, 16,660 participants (8,330 in the intervention group (Mobile Unit Follow-up Group) and 8,330 in the no intervention group (Electronic Medical History Follow-up Group )) aged between 45 and 70 years without a previous history of cardiovascular disease and with at least one cardiovascular risk factor will be randomly selected across the province of Lleida, Spain.
Background. Sympathetically maintained pain (SMP) can be effectively relieved by light irradiation to the area near stellate ganglion (SGI), which is applied as an alternative to sympathetic blockade. The clinical efficiency of SGI on heart rate variability (HRV) and its association with pain outcome need to be further identified. Objectives. This study is aimed to identify the effects of SGI on pain, HRV indices, quality of life, and function outcomes. Design. A prospective, double blind, randomized designed study Setting. An outpatient pain medicine clinic Subjects and Methods. A total of 44 patients will be enrolled and randomized to their allocations: the experimental group (EG, n=22) and control group (CG, n=22). All patients in EG will receive 12 sessions (twice a week) of standard SGI, while those in CG go through the same protocol except a shame irradiation is applied. Pain, HRV variables, quality of life, and function outcoms are measured before and after SGI in each session. All measures at the first-half and second-half courses are analyzed.
This is an exploratory, double blinded cross-over study of the D1 antagonist ecopipam treat patients currently having dopamine agonist induced augmentation in restless legs syndrome. Each arm is 6 weeks composed of an unforced titration up to 100mg/day separated by a 2-week wash-out period. Efficacy points will include the IRLS, augmentation scales, sleep scales, clinical impressions and fatigue/mood scales.
Interventional, comparative, open label, single-center study to demonstrate that an early (from 6 months of age) and systematic (every 6 months) screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by polysomnography (PSG) in children with Down Syndrome during the first 3 years of life is associated with an improved neurocognitive development at the age of 3 years.
We would like to see if Hyperbaric Oxygen can help improve the symptoms that result from Post Concussive Syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common neuropathic compression syndrome of the upper limbs, caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. There is no gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of STC. The diagnosis can be based on clinical findings and electrodiagnostic tests. Treatment options can be divided into surgical and non-surgical procedures. Surgical interventions include open carpal tunnel release, mini incision or release of the endoscopic carpal tunnel. Nonsurgical include daily activities modification, oral anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral corticosteroids, splints, corticosteroid injections or other options (laser therapy, ultrasound or acupuncture) The aim of this study is to compare randomly, conservative treatment for CTS with night splint of the wrist versus local infiltration of corticosteroids after a min-imum period of six months follow-up. Patients will be divided into two groups: night orthesis group that will receive the prescription to purchase the orthesis and guide the use of it; and infiltration group of patients will be referred to the Moema Alvorada Hospital to carry out infiltration. These patients will be evaluated before application, one week, one month, three months and six months after intervention.
