Microneedling With Topical Preparations in the Treatment of Atrophic Post-acne Scars
Acne Scars - Mixed Atrophic and HypertrophicTo examine the anti-scarring effect of topical glycolic acid 35% combined with microneedling against that of topical insulin combined with microneedling for post acne scars
A Laser and Topical Treatment Combination in the Vulvo-vaginal Atrophy Management in Breast Cancer...
Female Urogenital DiseasesBreast Cancer FemaleThe genito-urinary syndrome of menopause severely affects patients with a history of gynecological cancer, especially those diagnosed with breast cancer. At the present time, we do not have solid scientific evidence on treatments that can be effective and safe to address this pathology. Based on the above, we have developed our working hypothesis where it is postulated that the microfractionated laser treatment of C02, in conjunction with topical regenerative treatment, constitute an effective alternative in the management of vulvo-vaginal atrophy in oncological patients who have contraindicated hormonal treatments.
High-Speed Resistance Training Program in Independent Older Adults
Old Age; AtrophyAgingThe aims of the present investigation are: a) to determine the effects of a 16-weeks high-speed resistance training program on health parameters in independent older adults; and b) to verify the durability of the effects after 6 and 12 months after the intervention.
Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells Mobilization for Treatment of Abnormal Endometrium
Asherman SyndromeAtrophic Endometrium1 moreThis study will assess the use of autologous bone marrow stem cells mobilization using 1,1'-[1,4-phenylenebis-(methylene)]-bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (PLERIXAFOR) as an effective medical therapy for the treatment of Asherman's Syndrome (AS), Atrophic Endometrium (AE) and Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF).
Treatment of Vaginal Atrophy With Low Intensity Nanosecond Neodymium Laser
Postmenopausal PeriodVaginal Atrophy1 moreThe aim of study is characteristic of changes in the vaginal wall after treatment of neodymium laser radiation with a wavelength of 1064 nm. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: vaginal health index, perineometry, measurement of the vaginal wall thickness by ultrasound, Doppler sonography of the vaginal walls vessels, optical coherence tomography, biopsy, cytological and immunocytochemical methods. The King's Health Questionnaire will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 100 participants with and 20 participants without postmenopausal atrophy will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: laser treatment (study group), topical hormones treatment (control group 1) and no treatment (control group 2) by 70, 30 and 20 participants in each group respectively. The time intervals between special tests and the tests themselves will be the same for all groups. Thus, a direct comparison between conventional treatment (topical hormones), laser treatment of the vaginal atrophy and normal condition without treatment will be made. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the initial state of not less than thirty percent of participants, and improvement in condition on average compared with the control group.
A Study of Multiple Doses of Nusinersen (ISIS 396443) Delivered to Infants With Genetically Diagnosed...
Spinal Muscular AtrophyThe primary objective of the study is to examine the efficacy of multiple doses of Nusinersen administered intrathecally in preventing or delaying the need for respiratory intervention or death in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Secondary objectives of this study are to examine the effects of Nusinersen in infants with genetically diagnosed and presymptomatic SMA.
Role of Metformin on Muscle Health of Older Adults
Muscle AtrophyInsulin ResistanceMuscle atrophy and insulin resistance are common after bed rest in healthy older adults. Metformin treatment has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and attenuate muscle loss in insulin resistance adults though the mechanisms are not fully known. Metformin used as a preventive strategy to maintain muscle and metabolic health in bed ridden older adults has not been investigated.
Specified Drug-Use Survey of Leuprorelin Acetate Injection Kit 11.25 mg "All-Case Investigation:...
Spinal and Bulbar Muscular AtrophyThe purpose of this survey is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of leuprorelin acetate injection kit 11.25 mg in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) in the routine clinical setting.
