Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a compressive peripheral neuropathy, characterized by pain, tingling sensation and paresthesia in the territory of the median nerve, symptoms modulated by psychosocial factors (eg, catastrophic thinking, depression, anxiety). The objective of the study is to determine those psychological and social components that influence the symptoms and function of patients with CTS. An observational cross-sectional design will be performed in patients with CTS. The patients will be selected consecutively in two hospitals of the South East Metropolitan Health Service (Santiago, Chile). The study variables will include: Perception of pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the extent of symptoms will be evaluated using the Katz diagram; Functional assessment using the abbreviated version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QuickDASH); Catastrophic thinking as a response to pain using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), fear of movement using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and emotional state was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Both are valid and reliable measures used to evaluate the influence of psychosocial factors in patients with CTS. Individual subject factors including duration of symptoms, type of work (desk / non-desk), BMI, age, gender, educational level and economic income will be collected through an interview process.

The investigators aimed to establish a prospective cohort of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery from April 2021 to September 2022, in Wuhan. The ARDS events, ventilation time, time of extubation, oxygenation index for 3 days after operation were observed. Plasma samples were collected before CPB, and several time points after CPB. Dynamic differential proteins of ARDS after CPB were screened by DIA (Data independent acquisition) proteomics. Quantitative protein marker concentration was used to predict the occurrence of ARDS after operation, the model discrimination and calibration was assessed.

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is defined by a chronic oral pain affecting especially postmenopausal women. Its physiopathology is still unknown and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this syndrome, such as neurological, hormonal or inflammatory process. The recent development of salivary metabolomic profiling in oral diseases has led to the identification of potential pathways in such disorders. The aim of this study is to analyze the salivary metabolomic in BMS patients compared to healthy controls.

Our aim is to compare between intestinal ultrasound and double-balloon enteroscopy in the diagnosis of malabsorption syndrome.

The primary objectives of this study are: To determine the proportion of children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related death, rehospitalization or major complications after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and/or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and To determine immunologic mechanisms and immune signatures associated with disease spectrum and subsequent clinical course during the year of follow-up.

The study 'Survival rates and long-term outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to Norwegian ICUs' is a national observational study, including patients admitted to a Norwegian ICU between March 2020 and March 2021. The study will describe survival rates, clinical characteristics and health challenges experienced by survivors the first year after ICU admission caused by COVID-19 disease.

Mirizzi syndrome is an infrequent complication of long-standing cholelithiasis. Extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct is usually caused by an impacted stone in Hartmann's pouch or cystic duct resulting in the development of cholecystobiliary fistula. This syndrome is classified based on the presence and severity of cholecystobiliary fistula. Mirizzi syndrome is challenging to diagnose preoperatively and may require complex biliary surgical procedures for resolution. Endoscopic treatment is a safe alternative with a high success rate. Single-operator cholangioscopy combined with lithotripsy has been shown to have a 90-100% success rate in the treatment of biliary stones. Herein, A single center experience treating Mirizzi syndrome with single-operator cholangioscopy guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy is presented. Difficult management of Mirizzi syndrome has led to research of new treatment options to minimize the risk of high rate complications. Single-operator cholangioscopy in combination with laser lithotripsy is an adequate and safe alternative for the treatment of this condition.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor, sleep-related disorder characterized by urgency to move the legs during inactivity or resting state. Although the exact mechanism is not clearly understood, sleep disturbances and dopamine deficiency may regarded as a potential contributing factor for autonomic dysfunction. The objective of the study is to evaluate autonomic functions and determine possible associations between autonomic dysfunction with clinical factors in patients with RLS.

A retrospective study on clinical and radiological findings in ME/CFS

The objectives of this intermediate-size expanded access protocol are to assess the safety and efficacy of remestemcel-L in participants with MIS-C associated with COVID-19.
