Active clinical trials for "Premature Birth"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of on-demand therapy with CDFR0812-15/25mg and CDFR0812-15/50mg compared to on-demand therapy with single-drug administration of Clomipramine HCl 15mg in Korean Male Patients Diagnosed with Premature Ejaculation

This is an open label, single arm, single center investigation to assess the safety and efficacy of purified adult autologous bone marrow derived specific populations of stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells injected into the ovaries (intraovarian injection), through a 12 week follow-up period. The investigators' chosen model of study is based on increasing the efficiency of the approach by choosing an autologous model which preserves the genetic composition of an individual that is vital in infertility conditions. Additionally the approach involves transplanting a combination of specific purified stem cell types which all aid in ovarian function recovery.

Several reports have shown the utility of PVC ablation with cryo catheters. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes and safety of Cryo vs. RF for PVCs.

The purpose of this study is to correlate the composite PIPP-R (Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised) scale and the parasympathetic nervous system (heart rate variability).

Preterm birth (PTB), defined as birth between 20 and 36 6/7 weeks, is responsible for the majority of the neonatal morbidity and mortality in the United States, and 35% of all U.S. healthcare spending on infants. Globally, about 28% of the 4 million annual neonatal deaths are directly attributable to PTB. Preterm labor (PTL) is the final pathway for about 50% of all PTB. Tocolytic agents are drugs that can slow or stop labor contractions in the attempt to delay births preceded by PTL. Primary tocolysis is defined as tocolysis given on initial presentation of women with PTL. In most of these women, PTL stops, but as their risk of PTB remains high, some have advocated use of maintenance tocolysis, i.e. tocolysis after arrested PTL. So far, no maintenance tocolytic agent has been shown to be beneficial in preventing PTB. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance tocolysis with Arabin pessary compared to standard care in singleton gestations with arrested PTL and with short transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) cervical length (CL) <25mm

The aim of study is to examine the relationship between lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of the arterial wall in patients with premature coronary heart disease, to study genetic polymorphisms that determine lipid subfractions concentration on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in patients with early coronary heart disease, to study the effect of alirocumab and evolocumab on lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of arterial wall in patients with early coronary atherosclerosis and to study the influence of NOS-3 gene expression on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in the same patients. Impaired blood fat metabolism and chronic inflammation are intertwined as possible causes of atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and a prognostic predictor in patients after myocardial infarction, but recent research suggests that subtilisin-kexin convertase type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are the only drugs that significantly reduce serum Lp (a) concentration. However, there are no data on the relationship between Lp (a) values and polymorphisms for Lp (a), indicators of inflammation and impaired arterial function, and response to treatment with various PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with early coronary heart disease.

Research Objectives: Establish a prediction and scoring system for twin premature birth. To investigate the curative effect of 200mg,400mg and 600mg of vaginal progesterone in the prevention of twin premature birth. To investigate the effect of stress cervical ligation in preventing premature delivery of twins. The optimal dose of atosiban for the treatment of twin premature birth. The influence of delivery mode on twin premature infants under 32 weeks.

Therefore, this study will aim to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of the on-demand use of combined dapoxetine with tadalafil and combined dapoxetine with lidocaine 5% spray in treatment of patients with lifelong premature ejaculation and non-responding to dapoxetine alone.

DESIGN: Observational prospective study. INCLUSION CRITERIA: All women are 18 years old of age or older with high risk for preterm birth, based on clinical history, and between 18.0 weeks and 23.6 weeks of pregnancy. SAMPLE SIZE: 214 asymptomatic high risk pregnant women. METHODOLOGY: Patient selection, obtaining of informed consent, randomization for cervical placement of pessary. Current follow-up until delivery. Pessary is removed at 37 week or before in some specific situations. MAIN OUTCOME: sPTB <370 weeks of gestation. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: Pregnancy outcomes and a neonatal composite morbidity. EXPECTED RESULTS: Cervical pessary reduces sPB below 37 weeks in high risk of preterm birth population.

The primary objective of this study, is to determine the effect of a Cup pessary, a device that is currently readily available in the USA and similar in design to the Arabin pessary, on the incidence of delivery prior to 37 weeks in women with a history of prior spontaneous birth (before 37 weeks) and incidentally found to have a cervix less than 25 mm in length prior to 23 weeks.
