Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The global burden and threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a major health challenge that undermines social and economic development throughout the world. Cardiovascular disease including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) currently accounts for 17.9 million deaths a year. Low and middle-income countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have undergone a rapid epidemiological transition over the last few decades and now have a burden of disease increasingly dominated by NCDs. The global burden of disease report for 2017 revealed a 71.4% increase in cardiovascular disease in SSA, predicting a large increase in mortality. Unfortunately, reliable population-level data regarding the incidence, prevalence and demographics of ACS in SSA are limited. The investigators propose to set up and conduct a multi-centre, prospective, observational registry to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, presentation, management and outcomes of patients admitted with ACS in Cape Town and the Garden Route Health District, Western Cape Province, South Africa. The registry is designed to shed insight on the current burden and impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the Western Cape.

Nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is prevalent in critical illness; it is associated with poor outcomes. However, few studies have focused on the relationship between NTIS and short bowel syndrome (SBS). The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, etiology, and prognosis of NTIS and its correlation in clinical variables in adult patients with SBS.

Secondary tethered cord syndrome (STCS) has been diagnosed with signs of progressive deterioration in urological or neuroorthopedic systems following primary tethering surgery. However, there is no convincing urological diagnostic clue for STCS.

Marfan syndrome (MS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) encoding the protein fibrillin-1. Fibrillin is the main component of microfibrils, elements found in all of the body's tissues, and this pathology is characterized by the multitude of its clinical manifestations. These patients may develop aneurysms in the aortic root and one of the main factors of morbidity in patients with MS is aortic dissection. Prevention mainly involves preventive aortic surgery. However, the repercussions are global and can affect the functioning of other tissues such as skeletal muscle tissue, bone tissue, lung tissue and the eyes. The association of skeletal (scoliosis, hyperlaxity), muscular and ocular disorders is clearly associated with an impairment in the quality of life. These disorders are associated with pain and disability which affect professional activity, leisure and family life. Physical activity could represent a relevant alternative for these patients. A recent animal study suggests that moderate training is beneficial.

In this case-control study, 23 patients diagnosed as PS by diagnostic injection with ultrasound guidance were selected as the study group. 22 patients who were excluded from the diagnosis of PS and had anteroposterior (AP) direct radiographic imaging were evaluated as the control group. On the AP Pelvic graph, the femoral neck-shaft angle, the distances between predetermined bony landmarks were measured blindly without knowing the diagnosis, and the findings were compared statistically. This study aims to evaluate whether the anatomical structure of the pelvis predisposes to the etiopathogenesis of the piriformis syndrome.

Evidence suggests coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with an increased incidence of thromboembolic manifestations. Various guidelines on managing antithrombotics in COVID-19 either provided conflicting guidance or unclear recommendations for post-discharge thromboprophylaxis. The investigators aim to collect the current practices in India among physicians on antithrombotic therapy for hospitalised patients with COVID-19 and after discharge from the hospital.

It is well known that the frequency of cardiometabolic diseases are increased in patients with Klinefelter Syndrome. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance and is also associated with various cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of this study to investigate the TyG index levels and its relationship with insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction in patients with KS.

Sarcopenia is a progressive condition characterized by decline in muscle strength and muscle mass. Although the mechanism of sarcopenia has not been fully elucidated, it may be caused by protein-poor diet, vitamin D deficiency, hormonal changes, increase in inflammatory cytokine level and oxidative stress. For this reason, it is thought that determining the prevalence of sarcopenia in rheumatological diseases with chronic inflammation and protecting patients from possible comorbidities with appropriate interventions may be an important factor in maintaining and improving the functional levels and quality of life of patients. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence and its associated factors of sarcopenia in individuals with primary Sjögren's Syndrome.

The most common entrapment neuropathy symptoms, the diagnosis of CTS, is determined by examination findings and by means of the results of electro-diagnostic test. With an increase in disease severity, trap neuropathy, whose symptoms are more pronounced at night, negatively affects the daily life of the person. Deterioration in sleep quality may cause depression and anxiety. Conflicting results have been found in the studies related to these findings. However, no study was found in which daytime sleepiness was evaluated in terms of CTS. The investigators aim in this study is to evaluate the relationship between CTS severity and depression, anxiety, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.

Studies have suggested that Obese patients with metabolic syndrome(MetS)were correlated with knee joint degeneration and osteoarthritis. However, no studies demonstrate the relationship between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus lesions and its knee function.The aim is to detect the correlation between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus injuries.
