Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of pirfenidone in chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This study included 40 adult patients (≥ 18 years) with a diagnosis of chronic progressive hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The included patients were divided into 2 groups 20 patients in each one. Group 1: will receive pirfenidone in addition to the conventional treatment Group 2: will be maintained on conventional treatment. Forced vital capacity (FVC),6 minutes walking test(6MWT), oxygen tension in the arterial blood (PaO2), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ ) were measured before and after 6 months of a pirfenidone treatment trial. Results

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a self etch adhesive resin and two desensitizing agents(Calcium phosphate, 5% glutaraldehyde) in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity on the quality of life of individuals.

The most important cause of mortality and morbidity with the geriatric population is loss of balance and the consequent falls, which is seen very often. The goal of our study is to examine the effects of plantar sensation education-based exercises on balance and falls.Materials and methods: 16 healthy, voluntary nursing home residents with the average age 77.50±5.5. Individuals had plantar sensory exercises 40 min sessions for 3 days/week during eight weeks. The study was planned as a self-controlled prospective study. Functional balance was evaluated using Berg Balance Scale, dynamic balance was evaluated using 30 Second Chair Stand Test, static balance and fall risk were assessed using Biodex Balance System.

Study to demonstrate hypoallergenicity of a hydrolysed protein infant formula in a population of children with confirmed cow's milk allergy.

This clinical trial was conducted to compare the desensitizing effect of toothpaste containing the active ingredient of an extract of Galla chinensis and toothpaste containing fluoride in patients with dentin hypersensitivity.

As Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a challenging serious condition especially when it necessitates intubation to deliver mechanical ventilation which is a fundamental strategy for supporting the respiratory function when the patient can't bear all work of breathing. Even if it represents a life-saving procedure, mechanical ventilation (MV) is associated to life-threatening complications as respiratory muscle dysfunction, and atrophy that lead to long stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and higher mortality. Weaning difficulty is experienced in nearly 30 percent of critically ill patients. The decision to extubate mechanically ventilated patients should be aimed at preventing both the risk of premature liberation from MV which is associated with poor outcome and the risk of delayed extubation which increases the complications of prolonged MV and there is increasing evidence that MV itself may adversely affect the diaphragm's structure and function, which has been termed ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). The combination of positive pressure ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure may unload the diaphragm which leads to changes in myofibril length and rapid atrophy that occurs within hours of MV, caused by an imbalance between protein synthesis and proteolysis, lead to a large reduction in the inspiratory pressure generated by the diaphragm.

A randomised, examiner blind, two treatment arm, stratified, parallel design, single-site study in subjects with at least two sensitive teeth to compare the efficacy of a test dentifrice against that of a control dentifrice in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity.

Teeth sensitivity is the most popular symptom when using At-Home tooth whitening. Tri calcium phosphate containing pastes may affect the efficacy and postoperative sensitivity associated with At-Home vital tooth whitening using 20% carbamide peroxide

Local allergic rhinitis (LAR) is relatively new disease. The question of effect of allergen specific immunotherapy on LAR is open. The randomized, double blind placebo controlled trial of birch subcutaneous AIT on LAR were performed in twenty eight patients. The therapy was performed during 24 months in proportion 15 patients with AIT and 13 placebo. The primary endpoint was decreased of symptoms medication score (SMS). Additionally monitoring serum specific IgE, specific IgG4 and nasal specific IgE (nsIgE) to Bet v1 and parameters of safety and quality of life were provided.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of AR101 through oral immunotherapy (OIT) in peanut-allergic children.
