A Study of the C3 Inhibitor AMY-101 in Patients With ARDS Due to COVID-19 (SAVE)
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Due to SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Severe COVID19)The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of AMY-101, a potent C3 inhibitor, for the management of patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. We will assess the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). The study will assess the impact of AMY-101 in patients with severe COVID19; specifically, it will assess the impact of AMY-101 1) on survival without ARDS and without oxygen requirement at day 21 and 2) on the clinical status of the patients at day 21.
Metformin Versus Vildagliptin in Reducing Risk of Metabolic Syndrome Complications Progression
Metabolic SyndromeDiabete Type 21 moreSeveral crosssectional and prospective studies have shown that metabolic syndrome and its related components are associated with both prevalent and incident CKD . Although the mechanisms for these cardiovascular benefits of Metformin and vildagliptin remain unclear, they extend well beyond glycemic lowering, and therefore are probably best considered diverse "cardiometabolic" pharmaceuticals rather than simply type 2 diabetes drugs. Metformin and vildagliptin have known vasculoprotective actions, but the value of these drugs on drug-naïve diabetic patients during 24 week use warrants investigation. The investigator's purpose was to observe their effects on weight control, Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Metabolic Syndrome risk, and diabetic nephrooathy Progression.

Avazzia HVPC Bio-Electrical Stimulation Technology (BEST™) Microcurrent CTS RCT
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeA clinical study at Activated Family Chiropractic & Wellness, is being proposed to test the efficacy of a novel electrical stimulation platform named the Pro-Sport Ultra® designed by AVAZZIA to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).
Efficacy of Acupuncture in Refractory Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel SyndromeThe trial aims to examine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The investigators will include 170 participants to receive acupuncture plus usual care or sham acupuncture plus usual care. Twelve sessions of acupuncture will be delivered to participants over a period of 4 weeks. The primary outcome is defined as proportion of participants with adequate relief of global IBS symptoms at week 8, which is defined as >50% reduction in IBS-SSS scale.
Effect of Shortwave Diathermy and Therapeutic Ultrasound on Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome Among...
Medial Tibial Stress SyndromeMedial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) also known as shin splints or tibial periostitis is a common injury in athletes and soldiers/cadets with incidences ranging between 4% and 35% in these populations . It is characterized by pain in the middle and lower end of tibia; the pain is usually elicited by practicing sports or other physical activities. The criteria for diagnosis for MTSS were established by Yates and White. Although the prognosis of MTSS is usually benign, it can evolve to chronicity and be disabling. Several studies have demonstrated the effects of different medical treatment in athletes and cadets with MTSS. Study will correspond to the demonstration of treatment options for medial tibial stress syndrome that lie in the domain of Physical Therapy. Therapeutic Ultrasound and Shortwave Diathermy.
Capsaicin for the Treatment of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis SyndromeThis study aims to determine if capsaicin cream offers symptomatic relief to patients suffering from Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (condition that leads to repeated and severe bouts of vomiting).
Metabolic Myopathy in Endocrinopathy
Cushing SyndromePheochromocytoma2 moreEndocrine diseases including Cushing's syndrome and phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) but not Conn's syndrome are associated with muscle wasting and weakness. The study's aim is to identify epigenetic determinants of muscle homeostasis in these conditions following medical treatment and adrenalectomy. This is an observational pilot study that will recruit 66 patients from 3 diagnostic groups: Cushing's syndrome (16), PPGL (20) and Conn's syndrome (30). Indices of muscle bulk and strength will be assessed at diagnosis and at outpatient follow-up 6-9 weeks after adrenalectomy. At these times blood and urine will be collected and a muscle biopsy taken from the operation site at the time of surgery. Pathway analysis in these samples will identify potentially novel signalling pathways contributing to muscle wasting via prolonged exposure to high levels of corticosteroid and catecholamines. This will highlight commonalities and differences in pathogenesis of muscle wasting from a variety of different causes. Finally, it will inform identification of novel therapies for muscle atrophy.
The Role of Probiotics PS128 in Movement Disorders
Rett SyndromeTourette Syndrome1 morePediatric movement disorders comprise of a large number of different neurological diseases including Rett syndrome (RTT) and Tourette syndrome. Studies in the literature as well as our preliminary reports showed that Rett syndrome and Tourette syndrome/Tic disorders are associated with a dysbiosis of the gut microbiota compared to normal control. Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 is a diet supplement that available for human consumption. Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 had showed psychotropic effects such as ameliorate anxiety- and depression-like behaviors as well as altered the level of neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain in animal models, which might be through microbiota-gut-brain axis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to access the possible neurobehavior effects of Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 in Rett syndrome and Tic disorders/Tourette syndrome.
