Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

This study aims to evaluate whether dietary supplementation with fish oil can protect against the cardiopulmonary alterations linked to air pollution

The investigators wish to determine how suture spacing (5 mm vs. 10 mm) affects cosmetic outcome and development of "train tracking" in wounds. Linear wounds with sutures spaced closer together may not be as cosmetically appealing when compared to those that have larger spacing between sutures. Suturing closer together constricts blood flow and increases tension that ultimately results in more tissue necrosis and a less appealing outcome. The investigators also aim to conclude if 5 mm or 10 mm suture spacing results in less complications.

The primary objective is to contrast the degree to which increased consumption of dietary fiber vs. fermented food can decrease inflammation, increase microbiota diversity and can impact microbiota production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), potential normalizers of metabolic and immune dysfunction, in obese and non-obese adults.

We propose to examine Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) patients for evidence of airway inflammation as a first step to characterize the reported bronchodilator responsiveness. Airway biopsy studies are invasive and thus we propose to perform induced sputum studies to document the amount and type of inflammation present. Another ancillary non-invasive measure of airway inflammation that we will use is exhaled nitric oxide (NO). The primary objective of this study is to determine if CDH patients have any evidence of airway inflammation. The hypothesis of this study is that children with CDH do not have evidence of airway inflammation associated with bronchodilator responsiveness. Based on this information, treatment for CDH patients will hopefully be more accurate and appropriate for their specific needs.

The purpose of this study is to determine changes to knee joint loading, biological markers, and cartilage structure following a novel active feedback gait retraining program in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed patients.

This study intents to determine who will benefit from an intensive brief stress coping intervention week (ISCIW) as secondary prevention for real world affective disorder patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of milk or the milk constituents calcium and protein to a high-fat breakfast affects the postprandial lipid and inflammatory response.

This study is being done to learn about inflammation in the brain of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to determine if 11C-ER176 is able to accurately measure inflammation in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Both patients (with either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease) and healthy controls (participants without memory complaints or impairment) will be included in this study.

NutriPEPA2 is a randomized, single-blind, prospective, multicenter trial, in two parallel arms to confirm that the adsorbent PEPA membrane may decrease mortality related to inflammation and malnutrition encountered in HD or HDF-treated stage 5 renal failure compared to a non-adsorbent synthetic membrane.
