Penicillin AllergyDemonstration project to implement penicillin allergy testing in STD outpatients using a questionnaire and pen allergy testing
Efficacy of Desensitizers in Reducing Post-operative Sensitivity Following Composite Restorations...
SensitivityComposite is one of the common aesthetic restorations used in the dentistry. With the advancements in the biomaterials the application of the composites has broadened. However due to various factors the composites are associated with dental sensitivity. Hence in our study we evaluate and compare the effectiveness of three desensitizing agents in reducing the post-treatment sensitivity for class I composite restoration.
STEP-IT-UP - Peanut Allergy Study for Infants
Peanut AllergyFood AllergyMulticenter randomized (1:1) trial of strict avoidance versus sub-threshold dietary introduction of peanut in peanut allergic infants 4-14 months of age who react at a minimum cumulative dose of at least 430 mg of peanut protein at initial oral food challenge (OFC) for 12 months, followed by cross-over to sub-threshold dietary introduction of peanut in those randomized initially to avoidance.
Sugar-sweetened Beverages Influence Benefits of Exercise in Overweight Adults
InflammationInsulin SensitivityThe objective of this study was to determine how metabolic and inflammatory effects of physical exercise in overweight individuals are altered when sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are consumed after physical exercise. A randomized, controlled crossover trial was performed in which participants performed exercise with and without the ingestions of SSB during exercise or a non-exercise control condition to evaluate metabolic and inflammatory responses one day after the exercise and or SSB treatment.

A Clinical Study to Investigate the Effect of a Partially Hydrolysed Infant Formula With Added Synbiotics...
ImmunityWith the rising prevalence of allergic diseases and the subsequent risk of developing other immune-related disorders, primary prevention of allergy has become a major priority. It is generally acknowledged that breastfeeding is one of the main pillars in allergy prevention. Infant formulas based on hydrolysed proteins have been developed to be used by infants at increased risk of developing allergy in case a mother is unable or chooses not to breastfeed her infant. It has recently been demonstrated that the gut microbiota composition and microbiota activity of infants receiving an infant formula based on partially hydrolysed proteins, supplemented with oligosaccharides, is more similar to breastfed infants than to infants receiving standard cow's milk formula, demonstrated by increased levels of bifidobacteria. However the interaction between microbial changes impacted by an hypoallergenic concept and its influence on early life immune development should be further explored. The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate the bifidogenic effect of a hypoallergenic formula supplemented with prebiotics and probiotics compared to standard infant formula in infants at increased risk of developing allergic disease. This study will secondary assess the effects of this concept on the development of allergic manifestations up to the age of 12 months, which will be verified in a separate clinical study MAESTRO as primary outcome. Furthermore, the effects on growth and safety will be studied.
Feasibility Trial in Men With Hormone Sensitive Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer
Hormone Sensitive Oligometastatic Prostate CancerPatients with hormone sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer (≤ 5 metastatic tumours outside of regional pelvic nodes with no more than 3 in any organ system) and no previous treatment to prostate will be treated with intermittent androgen deprivation therapy +/- chemotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy to all metastases, and either radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy.
Comparison of Difference Histamine Concentration (1, 5 and 10 mg/ml) for Skin Prick Test Positive...
Immediate HypersensitivitySkin prick test (SPT) was used for diagnostic test for type 1 hypersensitivity. The efficacy and safety of SPT were proved. The positive control of SPT is histamine. In Thailand, the most common concentration of histamine for SPT is 10 mg/ml. However, in some practice they use other concentration (1, 2.5 mg/ml). This study will find the proper concentration of histamine for positive control use in SPT.
Dexamethasone Regimens for Prophylaxis of Paclitaxel-associated Hypersensitivity Reaction
Hypersensitivity ReactionComparison of the efficacy and side effects of intravenous and oral regimens of dexamethasone for prophylaxis of paclitaxel-associated hypersensitivity reactions in primary ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer patients receiving first cycle of combination paclitaxel and carboplatin.
Walnut Oral Immunotherapy for Tree Nut Allergy
Nut HypersensitivitiesThe purpose of this study is to determine if walnut oral immunotherapy can be used in subjects allergic to tree nuts to decrease their tree nut allergy and induce changes in their immune system.
