Potassium Nitrate and Post-bleaching Sensitivity
Medicaments Substances in Therapeutic UseThis study will determine the effectiveness of the use of desensitivity gels prior in office bleaching on risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity caused by in-office bleaching using 35% hydrogen peroxide and using different types of potassium nitrate. Materials and Methods: Seventy five patients will be selected for this triple-blind, randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical trial. 10 minutes prior to bleaching procedure, patients will receive the the potassium nitrate 2% or placebo gel application on vestibular surface and Toothpaste 15 days before start the bleaching procedure (group 1: placebo gel + Colgate toothpaste; Group 2: Placebo gel + Nitrate toothpaste Sensodyne and Group 3: Potassium Nitrate + Colgate toothpaste). The whitening treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide will be carried out in two sessions with a 7-day interval. Tooth sensitivity will be assessed before, during and 24 hours after the procedure using analog visual and verbal scales. Color alteration will be assessed by a Vita Guide scale at the end of the last session. Relative risk to sensitivity will be calculated and adjusted by session; while comparison of overall risk will performed by McNemar's test. Data on the sensitivity level and color shade will be subjected to the Friedman, Wilcoxon (α = 0.05). If necessary, multiple comparation will be done using Tukey's test.
Comparison of Efficacy of 5% Fluorocalcium Phosphosilicate Dentifrice and Potassium Nitrate Dentifrice...
Dentinal HypersensitivityAim of this study was to assess and compare the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate and dentifrice containing potassium nitrate on Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH) compared to a placebo over a period of 6 weeks.
Desensitization to Reduce Oral Hypersensitivity and Improve Intake for Children With Feeding Disorders...
Feeding DisorderMany children with feeding disorders frequently gag, vomit, spit out their food, and/or hold food in their cheeks. These behaviors make it difficult for children to eat enough food to grow. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific behavioral feeding intervention called desensitization is an effective intervention to improve oral intake in children with feeding disorders by decreasing gagging, vomiting, spitting, and holding food in the cheeks. The study will enroll eligible children (6) and their caretakers (6) in the study and they will receive behavioral feeding treatment. All treatment sessions will be videotaped and the study will last a maximum 8 weeks after the first treatment visit, or until treatment goals have been met.
PALISADE Follow-on Study (ARC004)
Peanut AllergyThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AR101 through oral immunotherapy (OIT) in peanut-allergic children and adults who have completed the ARC003 study.
Investigation of the Effects of Sedentary Behaviour and Moderate Exercise on Glucose Tolerance and...
Sedentary LifestyleInsulin Sensitivity1 moreIndividuals with pre-diabetes or diabetes would benefit from low impact methods that would improve their insulin sensitivity and aid in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Physical activity helps the body decrease its insulin resistance and burn excess sugar. Many diabetics also suffer from obesity and specific forms or durations of physical exercise may not be viable options for these individuals. Determining whether short bursts of moderate exercise improve blood glucose levels in healthy humans may identify a further method for diabetics to improve their glucose homeostasis. The aim of this study is to determine the most effective moderate exercise that can be completed in 3 minutes and its effectiveness on improving glucose handling, in response to a single day of standardized high-fat and high-carbohydrate feeding in comparison to periods of prolonged sitting.

Asparaginase Encapsulated in Erythrocytes for Patients With ALL and Hypersensitivity to PEG-asparaginase...
Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaPegylated-asparaginase (PEG-ASP) is an important part of the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Unfortunately 13% of patients develops allergy and further treatment is impossible. Furthermore, 6% of patients have developed antibodies (silent inactivation) and have no effect of the PEG-ASP treatment. Truncated asparaginase therapy is associated with inferior event-free survival outcomes, in particular relapse in central nervous system (CNS). Eryaspase is a new formulation of asparaginase encapsulated in erythrocytes. The erythrocyte membrane protects asparaginase against fast degradation and elimination processes. The encapsulation eliminates the direct somatic contact, and it is hypothesized that this provides the potential to prolong the activity of the enzyme and reduce toxicities.
The Application of Microcurrent in Athletes
Training GroupSensitivityThe aim of this investigation is to analyse the potential benefits of wearing a new commercially available microcurrent device combined with different exercise training modalities on exercise outcomes, body composition, recovery including muscle damage, general markers of health and immune function in athletes.
Effects of Sargassum Horneri Extract on Patients With Hypersensitivity
Skin HypersensitivityThe investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of Sargassum Horneri Extract in patients with skin hypersensitivity for 12 weeks.
Diet, Insulin Sensitivity, and Postprandial Metabolism
OverweightObesity1 moreThis randomized, controlled trial aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which a plant-based dietary intervention causes weight loss. Using a low-fat, plant-based diet for 16 weeks, along with an untreated control for comparison, the study will measure changes in body weight, body composition, intramyocellular and/or intrahepatocellular lipid, and changes in association to body weight.
