Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

The aim of the project is to study the persistence of inflammation after addition of an interleukin-5 (IL-5) blocker in severe eosinophilic asthma as a study of untreated pathways in these patients.

Being south Asian or centrally obese may be associated with an increased risk of inflammation. The investigators are seeking to investigate whether this is the case by recruiting white European and south Asian men who are lean or have central obesity. Further, the investigators wish to investigate whether physical activity influences the associations.

The impact of the environment on human health is considerable. An important factor is the effect of temperature on the human body, where either the effects of short-term exposure to extreme temperatures (cryotherapy, sauna, etc.) or the long-term environmental impact are monitored. The study was focused on research of the long-term effect of repeated CWI on atherogenesis, lipid parameters and fat distribution.

American Indian populations continue to suffer disproportionately from health problems including such nutrition-related chronic diseases as diabetes and heart disease. This research project will therefore investigate how a traditional Indigenous food called chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) impacts epigenetic and metabolic health in relation to resiliency markers in American Indian participants. The process of research with American Indian communities is significant in that it can inform best practices in community engagement orientations, approaches, and models in future research settings.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between Week 6 vedolizumab therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and Week 30 Faecal calprotectin (FCP).

A comparison of acute tart cherry formations (juice vs. powdered) and doses (single vs. twice daily) on inflammation and oxidative capacity.

Due to short hospital stay, rapid return to work, less pain, and good cosmetic results, laparoscopic hysterectomy ( LH) has substantially increased the era of hysterectomy procedures especially for the last two decades. The main reason for this is probably that LH leads to fewer inflammatory responses when compared to open abdominal hysterectomy. Although the inflammatory response is supposed to be lower with total laparoscopic hysteroscopy (TLH), unpredictable inflammatory response as a result of the operation has been still unenlightened and it can be associated with hospital stay.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women, primarily affecting the reproductive system, with substantial collateral negative health effects on metabolic, psychological, and cardiovascular functions. Patients with this syndrome are at higher risk of developing insulin resistance (IR), obesity, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and endometrial carcinoma.IR and hyperinsulinemia are responsible for the low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. Periodontitis, an immuno-inflammatory disease, is a result of interaction between bacterial attack and host inflammatory response, causing inflammation of supporting tissues of the teeth leading to tissue destruction and tooth loss. Chronic low-grade inflammation is emerging as a plausible etiologic mechanism linking periodontal disease and many systemic diseases. Previous cross-sectional studies described a possible relationship between PCOS and periodontitis and the impact of PCOS on gingival inflammation and vice-versa in terms of increased inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-6, IL-17 and TNF-α). In PCOS females, there is an alteration of various hormone levels in the body. Female sex steroid hormones play a key role in periodontal disease progression and periodontal and implant wound healing. Human gingiva has the capacity to metabolize hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Moreover, gingival tissue exhibits receptors for such hormones and it is considered as a target organ for their direct action. These hormones might act on gingival cells by changing the effectiveness of the epithelial barrier to bacterial injury or by affecting the collagen maintenance and repair. To avoid periodontal implications as these hormonal changes can worsen the vulnerability to plaque-induced periodontal disease. So, present study is going to conduct in females with PCOS and periodontitis at different age groups like adolescent and adult age groups. AIM - Assessment of impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on periodontal status of women of adolescent and adult age groups.

A prospective study will be conducted to evaluate inflammatory activity in lacrimal glands due to Sjögren's syndrome on Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI), gray scale ultrasound (US), color Doppler US and Power Doppler US.

This study is a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with ESRD on HD or CAPD based RRTs at Moewardi General Hospital in Surakarta, Indonesia from January to March 2021. Subjects were randomized to either a Channa striata or a placebo group and were given a three times daily dosage of 500 mg of Channa striatus extract or 500 mg maltodextrin, respectively for 21 days. Serum albumin and hs-CRP were measured at the baseline, and at the end of the study
