The Effect of GLP-1 Agonists Versus OCs on Reproductive Disorders and Cardiovascular Risks in Overweight...
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)Overweight1 morePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that affects one in 10 women of childbearing age, which is usually characterized by hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems such as hyperandrogenism and obesity. Diane 35 pills are classified as oral contraceptives, which effectively reduces circulating androgens and are treatment for hyperandrogenism caused androgenic skin symptoms and irregular menstrual cycles. GLP-1 Receptor Agonist(e.g. exenatide, liraglutide) have the effects of lowering blood sugar and weight control by inhibiting of gastric emptying and reducing food intake. This study aims to evaluate the effect of metformin-GLP-1 Receptor agonist combination versus metformin-Diane-35 combination treatment on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risks in overweight polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.

High-tech Acupuncture for Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue SyndromeTo study the relationship between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and heart rate (HR) and its variability (HRV). To compare the curative effects and the HR/HRV indices between applicationa of different acupoints as well as different treatments (acupuncture and moxibustion).
Valproic Acid for Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
Idiopathic Nephrotic SyndromeFocal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis1 moreThe trial investigates the use of VPA (Valproic Acid) for the treatment of adult patients with biopsy proven idiopathic focal segmentel glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or minimal change disease (MCD). VPA used as an add-on to steroids might induce clinical remission in a first category of patients and potentially reduce the dose of maintenance immunosuppression required to maintain remission thereafter. In a second category of patients VPA might allow the reduction or even cessation of immunosuppression while clinical remission is maintained.
