Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash, named UNISEPT® MOUTHWASH, regarding oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral hygiene improvement. Study participants have reported dry mouth and are scheduled for a diagnostic biopsy of minor labial salivary glands to investigate Sjögren's Syndrome, following consultation with their rheumatologist. This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that leads to healing by primary intention (i.e. wound edges are closely re-approximated with sutures). Researchers are comparing this mouthwash with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving dry mouth and/or oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The investigators will not know which one they are providing as the bottles will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation), improvement of dry mouth and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial consultation and the biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (such as measuring saliva) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided betamethasone and 5% dextrose injection, which is routinely applied in clinical practice, in patients with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Individuals diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome by a physical therapist based on MRI results and examination findings will be included in the study. 40 people will be randomly divided into blood flow restrictive exercise (BFRT) and structured exercise program (SEP) groups, 20 people in each group. Participants will receive two evaluations: before starting treatment and immediately after 4 weeks of treatment. Pain, shoulder ROM, shoulder functional level, quality of life, shoulder muscle strength, grip strength, and sleep quality evaluation will be performed. The treatment program will be 5 days a week for a total of 4 weeks. The treatment will be individualized by calculating the appropriate resistance loads for the exercise program. All participants will undergo progressive exercises in sessions conducted by a physiotherapist.
This registry has the aim to assess the use of different antithrombotic therapies, including untested drug combinations, routinely used during the hospitalization phase, with their timing, route and dose of administration, in consecutive patients discharged with a diagnosis NSTEMI or STEMI in Italian Cardiac care Units (CCUs) during a four-week study period.
The purpose of this study is to describe the treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and medical costs of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes patients in Japan.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) are studied. ARDS is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs making breathing difficult. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to health care. People who are admitted to ICU for serious illnesses, like ARDS, often experience new health problems during and after their ICU stays. These health problems that may include physical, mental, and/or emotional disorders, are called post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Identifying these new health problems early can help people by timely treatments and care. In this study, researchers want to identify any health problems that arise after ICU admission in people with ARDS in the United States (US). To do this, researchers will collect information on health problems, treatments, medicines, and healthcare visits in people with ARDS, 1 year before and after an ICU admission. They will then look to see whether the health problems are in areas that have been described as the post intensive care syndrome (PICS). In addition, they will measure healthcare related costs in the one year after admission and compare it to the one year prior to admission. Researchers will also compare this information with data collected for people with pneumonia who did not require ICU admission. This will help them to identify any new health problems arising due to ICU stays. The data will come from participants' medical claims information stored in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database from 2016 to 2022. The claims data will only be collected for people in the US. Researchers will collect data from participants admitted to ICU for ARDS for a maximum of 1 year before and after their stay.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if the sequential administration of focused shock wave therapy and of a rehabilitation program based on the strengthening of gluteal muscles is more effective than a standard shock wave treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Main scientific hypotheses of the project: 1. The level of intestinal microflora translocation markers and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage the in the blood serum correlates with the level of intra-abdominal pressure, regardless of the genesis of intra-abdominal hypertension. 2. The critical levels of intestinal microflora translocation markers and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage can be used for predicting an unfavorable outcome in the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. 3. The revealed critical level of intra-abdominal pressure is an additional prognostic sign in assessing the course of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. . Project objectives: 1. To evaluate the indicators of biomarkers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage in the systemic circulation during the development and course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction. Based on the obtained critical levels of markers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and markers of the intestinal wall damage, it will be possible to predict adverse outcomes in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. 2. To identify differences in the level of markers of bacterial translocation of the intestinal microflora and the level of markers of the intestinal wall damage in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension. In patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, the levels of biomarkers of bacterial translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage in the blood serum correlate with intra-abdominal pressure indicators, regardless of the etiology of intra-abdominal hypertension. 3. Assess the impact of the level of intra-abdominal pressure on the development and course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction. To assess the course of the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction, an additional prognostic marker is the determination of the critical level of intra-abdominal pressure. 4. Determine the critical levels of biomarkers of intestinal microflora translocation and biomarkers of intestinal wall damage to predict the outcome of diseases accompanied by the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The obtained critical levels of biomarkers of translocation of the intestinal microflora and biomarkers of the intestinal wall damage will be significant indicators in the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction for predicting an unfavorable outcome.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a daily prebiotic fibre blend can reduce systemic inflammation, dyslipidemia, and self-report measures of mental health in individuals with metabolic syndrome. This study will help shape a larger randomised controlled study (RCT) powered to assess efficacy in a bigger cohort of patients. Primary outcome measures will explore the efficacy of a prebiotic fibre blend on systemic inflammation. Secondary and exploratory outcomes measures will explore the efficacy of the prebiotic blend on clinical biomarkers associated with cardiometabolic risk factors, microbiota features, and mental health. Using these data, we will also estimate in-year savings for the NHS in the metabolic syndrome population on a per participant basis.
The study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) supplementation compared to placebo to prevent HFS by observing changes in serum COX 2, malondialdehyde (MDA), and TNF α levels in breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients undergoing capecitabine chemotherapy. Current study was designed as a single-center prospective randomized clinical trial. The patients were Stage III or Stage IV colorectal and breast cancer patients receiving capecitabine-based chemotherapy who enrolled in the trial voluntarily. All patients were divided randomly into three groups treated with EVOO, olive oil, or placebo. The incidence of hand foot syndrome was documented. The serum COX 2, malondialdehyde (MDA), and TNF α levels before and after chemotherapy was documented.
