Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

Observational study, monocentric, prospective, descriptive and comparative (eye operated vs fellow eye).

The aim of this study is to investigate the inflammatory and maturation processes of immature myeloid cells (IMC) in the vaginal tissue in women with advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) (stage III-IV) and in normal non-POP controls. We hypothesize that the processes contributing to POP may be related to immune response and changes in myeloid cell populations and the cytokine environment.

This is a prospective cohort blinded study with the aim to investigate the prevalence and clinical impact of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease, and its association with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and depressive disorders. In addition, CMD and CSVD linkage to systemic inflammation and endothelial function will also be investigated.

The goal of this project, is to better understand the fluctuation of the level of uric acid in traumatized patients by making serial measurements during their hospitalization in the intensive care unit. In addition, the determinants (e.g. type of trauma, diseases, interventions) of the blood level of uric acid and its association with the development of organ failure will be sought.

The aim:1) To test the correlation of pCLE-obtained features with histological findings in UC; comparing the real-time conventional colonoscopy Baron score with CLE assessment. 2) To test the accuracy of the investigators previously proposed simplified four-grade classification system of crypt architecture in evaluating inflammation activity in UC by pCLE.

The aim of the study is to compare the neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR), platelets to lymphocytes ratio (PLR), eosinophils to lymphocytes ratio (ELR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C reactive protein (CRP) which are the hematological parameters associated with systemic inflammation in acute and subacute/chronic low back pain. Secondary purpose; evaluation of the prognostic roles of hematological parameters associated with systemic inflammation in low back pain in predicting chronicity.This study is a retrospective case-control study. The data of patients who applied to the emergency department with the complaint of acute (less than 4 weeks) low back pain or to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic with the complaint of subacute (lasting 4-12 weeks) or chronic (longer than 12 weeks) non-specific low back pain in the last 3 years will be scanned. The data of patients who applied with complaints other than medical conditions known to be associated with painful conditions and/or inflammatory response will be screened as a control group. The data of patients between the ages of 18-65 will be included in the study. In conclusion, the data of 150 patients who presented with acute non-specific low back pain, 150 patients who presented with subacute/chronic non-specific low back pain and 150 participants as the control group will be included in the study for use in analysis. Participants' age, gender, duration of low back pain (days), if evaluated, conditions associated with low back pain in cases with subacute/chronic pain, ESR, CRP, RDW, MPV, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, eosinophil count and platelet count in blood tests at admission examinations will be recorded. NLR will be calculated by dividing the number of neutrophils by the number of lymphocytes, PLR by dividing the number of platelets by the number of lymphocytes, ELR by dividing the number of eosinophils by the number of lymphocytes, and SII by the formula "platelet numberxneutrophil number/lymphocyte number".

During the past years many investigators have focused on the immunological changes in sepsis disease, and great attention has been paid to the development of practicable means of immunomonitoring. Little is known about diagnostic and prognostic vascular biomarkers during the time course of patients with sepsis.

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between the severity of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis/non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH/NAFLD) in naïve and hepatitis C (HCV) positive patients and the amplitude of alpha-defensin immunohistochemical staining in liver biopsy.

Study on patients with CNS infections.

The purpose of this study is explore the impact of lung cancer surgery on inflammation and function of the right side of the heart.
