Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune chronic disease. It has two forms Primary Sjogren's syndrome charactrized by dry eyes and dry mouth. Secondary Sjogren's syndrome characterized by rheumatoid diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and lupus erythematosus. SS patients are most liable to oral candidiasis , so they need prophylaxis aganist oral candidiasis. Probiotic bacteria are live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts confer benefits to health.Probiotics are commonly used as a prophylaxis aganist oral candidosis.

The primary aims of this study are: To determine the feasibility of deploying mindBEAGLE, a portable, bedside EEG-based system, in the Intensive Care Unit in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) or locked-in syndrome (LIS); To determine if mindBEAGLE neurophysiologic markers of cognitive function correlate with bedside behavioral assessments of consciousness; To determine if mindBEAGLE neurophysiologic markers of cognitive function correlate with functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers of consciousness; To determine if mindBEAGLE can serve as an assistive communication device for people with LIS.

COVID-19 (coronavirus 2019) disease has led to a large number of hospital admissions, many of which require admission to intensive care (ICU). Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is defined as deterioration or worsening of previous deterioration in the mental, physical or cognitive status that appears as a consequence of a critical illness and which persists after acute hospital care. Also, there is evidence that patients who survive a critical illness have a high prevalence of moderate to extreme chronic pain. Patients with COVID-19 disease are an especially susceptible population to develop PICS due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors have significant long-term deterioration in mental, cognitive, and functional health. This study hypothesis is that a specific care program based on early therapeutic education and psychological intervention improves the quality of life of patients at risk of developing PICS and chronic pain after COVID-19 disease.

Tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies impair sympathetic innervation leading to keratitis. In this study, the investigators have shown the significant association between severity of keratitis and presence of tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies.

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether providing a targeted heart health education campaign to regions at high risk of heart attacks will improve ACS patient's symptom recognition and response. The intervention will be will be evaluated according to a cluster randomized, stepped wedged design. The clusters are eight local government areas (LGAs) in Victoria, Australia. The main primary outcome will be assessed in consecutive patients presenting to emergency departments from the six LGAs throughout the study period with an ED diagnoses of acute coronary syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence at 3.5 months of age of dumping syndrome in children operated at birth for oesophageal atresia type III et IV.

To compare the clinical outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticagrelor vs. ticagrelor monotherapy at 3 months after PCI in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome in patients with acromegaly is about 70%. It seems that comorbidities of arterial hypertension or type 2 diabetes are more severe in patients with acromegaly and sleep apnea syndrome. Besides sleep apnea syndrome associated to acromegaly gives rise to few symptoms, that explains it is under diagnosed. The mechanisms of the association are based on maxillofacial modifications linked to acromegaly, a thickening of soft tissues with deposits of glyco-aminoglycanes but probably also because of the associated obesity, of the potential existence of a goiter and a muscular dystrophy of the dilatative muscles of the pharynx. At present, no study clearly documented prevalence of acromegaly in a diagnostic consultation for sleep apnea syndrome.

The objective of this research is to determine the incidence of microbial overgrowth of the small intestine before and after a gastric bypass. For this purpose, the study is based on the analysis of the expired hydrogen H2 with gas chromatography before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

A French University team (M. Jeanne, MD, and M. LOGIER, Ph D) have developed a pain assessment tool based on the analysis of the variability heart rate which evaluates the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI). This index is intended to give a quantification of pain. The aim of the present study is to assess the validity of the ANI parameter in patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome treated with a nerve block (reversible pain).
