Sexual Dysfunction in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Associated Comorbidities...

Multiple SclerosisSexual Dysfunction

This work aims to: Investigate and correlate Sexual Dysfunction in relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis patients with specific focus on Specific neurologic deficit. Depressive symptoms. Comorbid factors. Fatigue symptoms. To investigate the impact of Sexual dysfunction on Sexual Quality of Life (SQoL). To search for possible gender difference.

Psychosocial Interventions in the Treatment of Youth With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus

Primary Objective is to evaluate the influence of psychosocial interventions in the treatment of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus by measuring the connection between these interventions to quality of life and to metabolic control. Secondary Objective is to provide an opportunity, through quality of life (QOL) questionnaires, for enhanced communication between the patient, family and diabetes care team and also an opportunity to resolve negative issues.

Neurocognitive Changes in Patients With Remitting Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Natalizumab...

Multiple SclerosisCognitive Impairment

Cognitive impairment is seen in about half of patients with relapsing remitting MS. Our knowledge about long term development of cognitive performance under natalizumab therapy is limited. We want to demonstrate with this study that patients treated with ntz improve in neurocognitive tests over the long term.

Clonal Mast Cell Disorders in Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that develops rapidly and can cause death. Some patients experience anaphylaxis is association with exercise, a disorder called exercise-induced anaphylaxis. A subset of patients with unexplained anaphylaxis, especially those with hypotension during the anaphylactic episodes, have been shown to have abnormal, clonal populations of a certain cell type, mast cells, in the bone marrow. This has been described in at least one patient with exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The investigators would like review the findings in a group of patients with exercise-induced anaphylaxis who have undergone evaluation for the presence of abnormal, clonal mast cells.

Cohort Study of Clinically Isolated Syndrome and Early Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisMS1 more

A majority of patients with multiple sclerosis initially presents with a single demyelinating event, e.g. in the optic nerves, brain, brainstem or spinal cord, referred to as a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). Not all patients with CIS get a relapse and develop multiple sclerosis but in those patients who do, irreversible damage of the central nervous system, e.g. axonal damage, is already detectable in that early stage of disease. Early initiation of immunomodulatory therapy is crucial for patients with clinically isolated syndrome who are at high risk for the development of multiple sclerosis. Vice versa identification of low risk patients could help to avoid an unnecessary therapy. In this prospective observational study we want to follow up patients with CIS and early multiple sclerosis over a period of four years and obtain clinical, laboratory and MRI - data in order to identify risk factors for relapses, prognostic factors and therapy response markers.

Bronchial Inflammation in Patients With Severe Immune Deficiency Under Immunoglobulin Treatment...

Immune Deficiency

The purpose of the clinical trial is to gain a more substantial understanding of bronchial inflammation in patients with severe primary immundeficiency under immunoglobulin therapy. It is intended to characterize the systemical such as the bronchial inflammation (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, TNF-a, NFkB, IFN-gamma, TGF-beta, TLR2 und TLR4)in children with severe immune deficiency in order to generate new treatment strategies based on the results. The methods being used for characterization purposes within this trial include specific lung function tests ( spirography, bodyplethysmographie w. helium) such as the analysis of eNO and eCO. Furthermore, sputum and serum samples are being analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR),(qRT-PCR) and by cytometric bead assay (CBA). Components of the innate immune system (mannose-binding protein, TLR recognition proteins and surfactant proteins) are genetically determined from sputum or blood respectively. In the conduct of the study the investigators will retrospectively and systematically evaluate the available high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) studies of affected patients.

Diagnostic Study of Temporal Arteritis

Temporal Arteritis

Despite a large and growing body of knowledge concerning the diagnosis of temporal arteritis, this potentially crippling disease still requires pathological diagnosis in practically every case. It seems likely that a correctly estimated clinical probability could help in evaluating imaging results in a way that might safely obviate temporal biopsy in a large segment of suspect cases. With this aim in view, we intend to identify useful clinical items and integrate them in an appropriate diagnostic pathway.

Analysis of Immunological Reactions to Foods in Birch Pollen-Allergic Patients

Allergic RhinitisFood Allergy

A high number of birch pollen-allergic individuals develop hypersensitivity reactions to certain foods, e.g. apples. This food allergy is due to immunological cross-reactivity. Birch pollen-related foods contain proteins, e.g. Mal d 1 in apple, that are structurally related with the major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1. Hence IgE antibodies and T lymphocytes specific for Bet v 1 recognize these food proteins which results in activation of the immune system and, consequently, in clinical symptoms. In the present study the investigators intend to investigate if and how the consumption of birch pollen-related food allergens affects birch pollen allergy. In other words, the investigators are interested to analyse whether Bet v 1-related food allergens activate Bet v 1-specific memory cells and thus, contribute to the maintenance of the pollen allergy outside the pollen season. Data obtained in this study will help to clarify the immunological and clinical role of cross-reactivity between pollen and food allergies and will reveal whether avoidance of such foods should be recommended for the patients. Finally, novel approaches for diagnosis and therapy of pollen-related food allergens can be developed.
