Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

Severe aortic valve stenosis is known to affect heart haemodynamics, endothelial function and body inflammation markers. Our aim is to investigate the weather transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis affects heart rate variability, inflammation markers and endothelial function.

Integration of the Vascular Nursing Team of the Department of Haematooncology, University Hospital Ostrava for the needs of all clinical departments of the hospital. Assessment of local signs of inflammation in patients of the Department of Haematooncology and other clinical departments of the University Hospital Ostrava.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether daily 5 mg tadalafil over eight weeks affects to Lymphocyte/Monocyte ratio (LMR) and Monocyte/High-Density Lipoprotein ratio (MHR) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Thirty-one patients with organic ED and 31 healthy controls between July 2017 and November 2018 were included in this retrospective study. To avoid bias, the patients were randomly selected and the controls were also incorporated consecutively. The presence of ED was determined according to the International Erectile Function Index-5 (IIEF-5). The patients and the controls were evaluated in terms of IIEF-5, complete blood count, serum biochemistry, LMR, and MHR.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of anti-checkpoint immunotherapy on type 2 inflammation via a retrospective analysis of % eosinophilia.

Crohn's disease(CD),a type of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), is a chronic intestinal recurrent inflammatory disease involving the entire digestive tract. And Ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody against the p40 subunit of interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, is a newly targeted drug approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease in recent years.Based on the high-throughput imaging characteristic analysis technique, this study quantitatively analyzed the transmural inflammation of Crohn's disease, and discussed its prognostic value in the treatment of Ustekinumab, and further analyzed the increment of its relative clinical index.

The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple and inexpensive marker of the inflammatory response. NLR is affected not only by surgical trauma but also by the anesthetic method. The method of anesthesia can affect NLR, thereby modulating the inflammatory response and surgical outcomes. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between blood NLR and anesthesia techniques in patients undergoing forearm surgery, and the secondary aim was to evaluate the relationship between Platelet/lymphocyte ratio (TLR), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and anesthesia techniques.

This study raises two main hypotheses: 1) Asthmatics patients who present with bronchial hypersecretion differ phenotypically from asthmatic patients without hypersecretion and 2) mucins in asthmatic patients with hypersecretion of bronchial mucus and the expression of TLRs differ from non-mucus hypersecretory asthmatics patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine how chronic inflammation influences skeletal muscle protein metabolism and metabolic function in humans. The investigators will evaluate acute responsiveness to a single bout of exercise in men and women who are either lean or overweight/obese. The investigators will explore the relationship between circulating inflammatory markers and anabolic, proteomic, and transcriptional responses to acute exercise. The investigators will measure skeletal muscle protein synthesis in the postabsorptive state and in response to a single bout of exercise.

Discovery of differences in the host response in patients with systemic inflammation and sepsis, and identification of novel, specific markers by using a longitudinal clinico-transcriptomic approach.

Obesity is associated with alterations in brain structure and cognitive impairment and is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. The mechanisms underlying obesity related decline in cognitive function are not fully understood. The long-term goal of this project is to understand how obesity affects cognitive function, with the aim to develop new ways to prevent and treat obesity related cognitive decline
