Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

The study is a single-centre, prospective, observational cross-sectional imaging study aimed to determine if macrophage-mediated inflammation can be visualised in the aorta of patients with aortic dissection (AD) using ultrasmall super paramagnetic iron oxides (USPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Investigate systemic inflammation in liver cirrhosis patients

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is caused by abnormal immune response mediated by autoimmune antibodies of patients, which can be detected by a serial of autoimmune antibodies[4,5,6,7]. At present, the traditional infection diagnosis mainly relies on microbial culture method, which has the characteristics of long cycle, high cost, low detection rate and complex detection process. About 30-60% of encephalitis have unknown etiology[2,3]. On the other hand, the diagnosis and classification of noninfectious encephalitis mainly depend on the detection of autoimmune antibodies, the scope of diagnosis and differential diagnosis is limited, and the relationship between autoimmune encephalitis and infection factors is still unclear. Metagenomics sequencing (mNGS) is a new method that does not rely on microbial culture and can directly detect pathogenic nucleic acids. It has the characteristics of fast, accurate, high throughput, no preference for different pathogen detection, and can detect known and unknown pathogens at the same time. Nowadays, mNGS is widely used in the field of pathogen detection.

In this observational study, 60 subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and eligible, as per good clinical practice, for therapy with SGLT-2 inhibitor, will be randomized to receive a SGLT-2 inhibitor or a fixed dose combination of SGLT-2 inhibitor with a DPP4-inihibitor for 12 weeks. Measures will be performed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment, as per good clinical practice.

Patients older than 18 years of age, with COVID-19 related ARDS (C-ARDS) hospitalized in the ICU and invasively mechanically ventilated will be included in the study. This is an observational cohort study. After informed consent by the next of kin, and within the first 72 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation a blood and a Broncho Alveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) sample will be collected. If the patients remain invasively mechanically ventilated a second and third blood and BALF sample will be collected every 7-10 days.

This study aims to investigate the role of gut microbiome pattern and inflammation marker NF-ҡB in young-onset colorectal cancer

This study assesses the impact of diastolic heart failure on exercise capacity in women who have a previous coronary condition. All the participants will go through the same evaluation.

Sepsis is still a challenge for clinicians since the detailed pathomechanism are still unknown and until now early markers for sepsis are not defined yet. Immunological pathways and new mediators defined in animal models are not yet investigated in patients with sepsis. Therefore the investigators will measure new mediators in patients with septic shock.

To investigate the difference of PE inflammation/apoptosis-associated markers between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy To investigate the difference of neutrophil apoptosis in exudative PE between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy To investigate the change of apoptosis pattern of PE neutrophil, before and after TB antigen stimulation, and compare the difference between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy To investigate diagnostic aid of the inflammation/apoptosis-associated markers and apoptosis pattern of PE neutrophil for tuberculous pleurisy

A study will be conducted to determine if there is any cognitive benefit in elderly patients having open versus minimally invasive colon cancer surgery.
