Filter by:We and others have shown that many younger patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have orthostatic intolerance (OI), i.e., they can't tolerate prolonged standing. OI in ME/CFS is often accompanied by either postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in which standing results in an excessive heart rate, and neurally mediated hypotension (NMH) in which standing causes a fall in blood pressure and fainting. Intravenous fluids can alleviate these symptoms, but is difficult to administer; oral fluids fail to provide the same benefit. We would therefore like to test the effectiveness of an oral rehydration solution (ORS, W.H.O. formula) making use of co-transport of glucose and sodium, to reverse these symptoms in ME/CFS subjects with POTS or NMS, and will compare these results with healthy control subjects.
The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) may be a useful tool for investigating the in-vivo histology of ocular structures in patients with tear film pathology. In epiphora the investigators will image the proximal lacrimal system. In dry eye syndrome the investigators will image the lacrimal gland and also the buccal mucosa. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the appearance of the normal cornea and conjunctiva under OCT imaging.
The research project aims to try to answer the many questions raised by the identification of new early repolarization syndrome. The questions are varied with both taking optimal clinical management of patients, the frequency and significance of this anomaly in the population on the electrophysiological and molecular basis responsible for this electrocardiographic abnormality. To try to answer these many questions, the approach will be twofold: clinical and genetic. - Establishment of a clinical database containing information of patients who have been identified as carriers of the anomaly based on the initial clinical presentation in order to determine their prognoses. - Physiological approach will be based on a molecular approach to identify genetic abnormalities may be involved in this syndrome. - 200 asymptomatic patients and an unlimited number of patients who presented syncope or aborted sudden death will be included. A blood sample (15 ml) will be performed at inclusion.
The main goal of this French multicenter observational cohort study is to prospectively collect data assessing the impact of the Adaptative Servo-Ventilation treatment on the quality of sleep of patients with central or combined sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) out of Heart Failure (HF) with altered ejection fraction, with a predominant central SAS.
The present study was designed to evaluate, in premature babies with RDS breathing spontaneously, the efficacy of combined treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and aerosolized surfactant. The first objective of investigators is to assess the safety of surfactant nebulization in this clinical situation, and to find out whether treatment with aerosolized surfactant would reduce the need for mechanical ventilation. And other aim suggest that aerosolized dates compared with dates of INSURE (intubation-surfactant-extubation) and minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) method.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of electroacupuncture to dredge and regulate Dai Meridian combined with lifestyle modification are more effective than lifestyle modification only in the treatment of anovulation and hyperandrogenism due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with abdominal obesity.Two thirds of participants will receive electroacupuncture and lifestyle modification in combination, while the other one third will receive lifestyle modification only.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether giving injections of anakinra is a safe and well tolerated treatment to give as an adjunct to standard prescribed treatment for patients who are admitted to the hospital with signs of severe inflammation (macrophage activation syndrome) that is potentially life-threatening. Anakinra is a commercially available product (Kineret™) approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; it is a replica of a naturally occurring protein called Il-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), made by humans to inhibit and regulate the action of interleukin-1 (IL-1). IL-1 is a mediator of inflammation that when generated in excess amounts by immune system cells can result in severe dysfunction of multiple organs that can be life-threatening. The specific primary objectives of the study are to determine if giving anakinra results in no increased infection complications or mortality. Additional data will be collected to determine whether anakinra administration results in any other unanticipated side effects in this setting, and the effects of anakinra administration on inflammation markers, the overall dose of steroids required to treat the inflammation, and the length of hospital stay.
In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted on how to improve the treatment of patients in the Emergency Room (ER) complaining of chest pains. Great advances have been achieved recently regarding diagnostic methods aided by coronary CT angiopraphy (CCTA) and sensitive troponins. However, various questions about these methods still remain obscure and there is no effective comparison between them in patients with intermediate risk. The aim of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of sensitivity troponins in the detection of coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain and the intermediate probability of ACS compared with CCTA.
Multi-site, non-randomized Phase I/II study involving children and adults.
<Part I - Phase I trial> The phase I clinical trial is to identify the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) and DLT (Dose Limiting Toxicity) of CG200745 PPA. Initial dose of CG200745 PPA is 150 mg/m^2, and it will be extended to 225 mg/m^2, 300 mg/m^2 or it will be reduced to 75 mg/m^2 based on the results of the cohort of 3 to 6 subjects per dose level. Based on the 3+3 dose escalation study design, CG200745 PPA is to be administered according to the dose level. Each cohort consists of 3 or 6 subjects. <Part II - Phase II trial> In the phase II clinical trial, the subjects will be administered with the dose which is to be identified as a recommended dose based on the results of Phase I study. Each cycle consisted of 28 days, same as the phase I. The entire treatment period is 6 cycles and tumor assessment is to be evaluated at the end of every 2 cycles.
