SCN8A Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy SyndromeExtension Study to Evaluate how safe and tolerable the drug NBI-921352 is when used as Adjunctive Therapy in Subjects With SCN8A Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy Syndrome (SCN8A-DEE).
Aggressive Smoking Cessation Trial (ASAP)
Acute Coronary SyndromeThe ASAP Trial is a 5-year, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial that will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aggressive smoking cessation therapy initiated in-hospital following ACS. It will recruit 798 adult patients smoking on average at least 10 conventional (tobacco) cigarettes per day who are motivated to quit smoking and have been diagnosed with ACS requiring hospitalization. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to one of two treatment arms: (1) combination therapy of varenicline and nicotine e-cigarettes plus counseling or (2) varenicline plus counseling for 12 weeks, with 52-week follow-up.
The Effect of Foot Bath on PMS, Sleep and Quality of Life Among University Students With PMS
Premenstrual SyndromePremenstrual syndrome is a cyclical disorder characterized by physical and emotional symptoms that appear in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subside within a few days with the onset of menstruation. Non-pharmacological methods should be recommended first to women who experience PMS symptoms. For this purpose, it is planned to apply foot bath to university students with premenstrual syndrome. The study was planned as a randomized controlled single-blind study. The universe of the research will be female students studying at Ordu University Faculty of Education in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the first stage of the study, female students who are 18 years of age and older and who voluntarily agree to participate in the research will be taken without making a sample selection. Considering the possibility of data loss during the research process, it was planned to work on 39 intervention and 39 control groups, including a total of 78 women In the collection of data; Personal Information Form, Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be used. PSQI and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be applied to students in the intervention group. The foot bath will be applied for 3 months, starting 7-10 days before the menstrual cycle, that is, in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Students will be asked to fill out the Footbath Monitoring Form in order to assess whether they have taken a footbath. Those who apply foot bath at least 7 times will be included in the study. In case of less than seven students, the student will be excluded from the research and the new student who meets the criteria will be included in the research. At the end of each cycle, PMSÖ, PSQI and SF-36 will be administered to the students by the researcher. When the students in the Control Group are determined, PSQI and SF-36 will be applied by the researcher, and then PMSÖ, PSQI and SF-36 will be applied at the end of each cycle.
Splanchnic Venous Capacitance in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects ≈3 million young people, characterized by chronic presyncopal symptoms characterized by dizziness, lightheadedness, and orthostatic tachycardia that occur while standing. Across-sectional survey found that 25% of these patients complains that meals rich in carbohydrates are among the factors that further exacerbate POTS's symptoms and cause a myriad of gastrointestinal symptoms. The splanchnic circulation is the largest blood volume reservoir of the human body, storing ≈25% of the total blood volume and contributing to sudden, and large, fluctuations in the stroke volume (SV). These orthostatic changes in systemic hemodynamics are particularly magnified after meals, due to increased blood volume sequestration triggered by the release of gastrointestinal peptides with vasodilatory properties. The purpose of this study is to determine if the worsening orthostatic tachycardia and symptoms after glucose ingestion in POTS patients are due to a greater increase in splanchnic venous capacitance and excessive blood pooling on standing as compare to Healthy controls
Cardiovascular Autonomic and Immune Mechanism of Post COVID-19 Tachycardia Syndrome
Post-acute COVID-19 SyndromePostural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)2 moreThe term post-acute COVID-19 syndrome or Long COVID is a disabling syndrome that persists beyond the 3-month convalescence period after COVID-19 infections. This syndrome affects mostly women (~80%), present with chronic tachycardia and Orthostatic intolerance symptoms without any identifiable cause. In addition, non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and "brain fog", commonly described in POTS patients are also present in this novel condition, recently named post-COVID-19 tachycardia syndrome, POTS variant. Reduced Vagal activity and unresolved inflammation is post-COVID-19 POTS is hypothesized as the cause of Long COVID

Pulmonary Function Using Non-invasive Forced Oscillometry
InfantPremature9 moreThe purpose of this observational study is to measure pulmonary function in term and preterm infants with and without pulmonary disease including respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, transient tachypnea of the newborn, meconium aspiration syndrome, and response to treatments given to newborn infants with lung diseases using a non-invasive airway oscillometry system.
Animal and Plant Proteins and Glucose Metabolism
Metabolic SyndromeMetabolic Syndrome2 moreThe goal of this proposal is to determine the effect of a high protein diet in which the increase in protein intake is derived from different sources (animal vs plant and protein-rich whole foods vs protein isolates) on: i) liver and muscle insulin sensitivity; ii) the metabolic response to a meal, and iii) 24-h plasma concentration profiles of glucose, glucoregulatory hormones, and protein-derived metabolites purported to cause metabolic dysfunction.
Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Chiglitazar Sodium in PCOS With T2DM
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) of Bilateral OvariesT2DPurpose and significance: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Chiglitazar sodium in polycystic ovary syndrome with type 2 diabetes Methods: From October 2022 to September 2024, a total of 142 PCOS with T2DM patients admitted to Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were recruited. Participants are randomized in a ratio of 1:1 into two treatment groups of 71 participants: ① control group;②experimental group. After randomization, the control group was treated with lifestyle intervention+ metformin+ orlistat (obese patients)+ pioglitazone, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with lifestyle intervention+ metformin+ orlistat (obese patients)+ Chiglitazar (32mg QD) until the end of follow-up. The treatment and follow-up period totaled 3 months. Observe the body weight, menstrual cycle and blood glucose control and other related indicators. Type of study: randomized controlled, prospective, intervention study.
Colchicine in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting After Acute Coronary Syndrome...
Coronary Artery DiseaseAcute Coronary Syndrome5 moreThe present study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of perioperative colchicine with regard to operative complications, in patients with acute coronary syndrome and indication for cardiac post-surgical revascularization. Patients will be selected and randomized while still in the emergency room and medication (colchicine 0.5mg every 12 hours or placebo) will be started within 24 hours of randomization, being maintained for 30 days after surgery.
