Active clinical trials for "Hypoxia"

This clinical study evaluates the effect of 500 mg of 2S-hesperidin for 8 weeks on performance (power generated in different metabolic zones), body composition (fat and muscle mass) and biochemical (antioxidant, inflammatory status) and metabolic (capillary blood in finger) markers in amateur cyclists. Our hypothesis is that chronic intake of 2S-hesperidin can improve performance (maximum power generated). To justify this hypothesis, we measured the parameters mentioned above, which could establish a cause-effect relationship between 2S-hesperidin intake and possible yield improvement.

Background: Inhibiting the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) has been observed to reduce risk of cardiovascular events and kidney failure in type 2 diabetes. The exact mechanisms of the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibition (SGLT2i) are still unknown. Kidney hypoxia has been demonstrated in diabetic kidney disease and SGLT2i is thought to relieve hypoxia in the kidneys. Mitochondrial dysfunction and autonomic dysfunction might also contribute to kidney hypoxia. Objective: The primary aim of the study is to assess the acute effects of SGLT2 inhibition on parameters reflecting oxygenation and oxygen consumption of the human kidney in persons with type 1 diabetes. Exploratory aims are to investigate acute changes in oxygen availability and oxygen access to the kidneys after SGLT2i. This include measures of peripheral blood oxygenation, mitochondrial function and autonomic function. Methods: Acute intervention study with oral dapagliflozin given in two doses each of 50 mg or matching placebo as intervention. Kidney oxygenation and perfusion parameters will be assessed by blood-oxygen-dependant level magnetic resonance imaging. Mitochondrial function will be assessed by extracellular flux analysis on lymphocytes. Autonomic function will be assessed by measuring baroreflex sensitivity. Design: Randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over intervention study. Study population: Fifteen healthy controls are recruited by advertisement and 15 patients with type 1 diabetes recruited from Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. Endpoints: Primary end-point: Renal cortical and medullary oxygenation (T2*). Exploratory end-points: Renal cortical and medullary perfusion, renal artery flow, renal oxygen consumption, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2), arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), lymphocyte mitochondrial function, baroreflex sensitivity. Timeframe: Inclusion of patients from January 2020. Last patient last visit January 2021. Data analysis completed spring 2021, presentation autumn 2021 and publications Winter 2021.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the tolerability of CL2020 cells in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy neonates with hypothermia therapy. In addition, we will evaluate the efficacy of CL2020 cells for infant development.

Hypoxic Challenge Testing (HCT) is the recommended method for inflight hypoxia risk assessment. Onboard oxygen administration remains controversial. The Federal Aviation Administration approved portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) for onboard oxygen supply but there is lack of evidence about the use, especially in children. The aim of our study is to establish the effectiveness and safety of POCs in infants undergoing HCT.

This is a randomized control pilot study to assess the effect of intermittent hypoxia therapy on functional capacity vs conventional care in old patients with functional impairment admitted to a Phase 2 in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation program.

REAL-MOXY is a set of 5 mixed methods studies designed to understand how oxygen and pulse oximetry are used (or not used) at a facility level, to identify opportunities and barriers for strengthening oxygen systems for beneficiaries, users and managers.

In recent years, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been implicated in PD pathophysiology. Intermittent hypoxia therapy (IHT) is an upcoming treatment used by elite athletes as well as fragile individuals in clinical settings that works by improving exercise tolerance, neuroplasticity and inducing hypoxic preconditioning (HPC). HPC might improve the oxidative stress response in PD on the long-term. In addition, preclinical evidence suggests beneficial short-term effects such as influence on dopamine and noradrenalin release. Anecdotal evidence indeed suggests that visiting high-altitude areas improves PD symptoms and it is hypothesized that this effect results from decreased oxygen pressure at high altitudes. The safety and feasibility of (intermittent) hypoxia therapy on PD symptoms will be assessed in an exploratory phase I randomized-controlled trial.

The goal of the proposed pilot study is to determine which method can detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined timepoints during endo-CABG. Additionally, the investigators want to examine the influence of mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing endo-CABG.

In contrast to toxic CO concentrations, low-dose CO acts as a signaling molecule and can exert many complex cytoprotective effects. Therefore, the effects of low-dose CO are being investigated and developed as a new treatment method for use in various disease processes. However, these studies are mostly in vivo and in vitro studies and clinical studies have not reached a sufficient number. In this study, the effect of subclinical COHB levels on biomarkers such as TAS, TOS, HIF-1α will be evaluated.

This study will test the safety and efficacy of an infusion of a baby's own (autologous) umbilical cord blood as compared with placebo in babies born with history and signs of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
