Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sodium Fluoride imaging (using Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography - PET-CT) is able to predict disease progression in acute aortic syndrome.

This study aims to investigate the prevalence of subclinical oculomotor disorders in a population of patients with radiologically isolated syndrome.

The endometrium is a tissue with high capacity of renewal ("self-renewal"). This process is regulated by stem cells. Recent studies have shown that bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDSCs) contribute to tissues and organs regeneration, including the murine and human endometrium. Additionally, BMDSCs have the ability to differentiate into functional endometrial and stromal epithelial cells. Asherman's Syndrome (AS) also referred to as intrauterine adhesions (AIU), is an acquired uterine condition characterized by the formation of adhesions inside the uterus. In many cases the front and back walls of the uterus stick to one another. Most patients with AS have menstrual abnormalities, pelvic pain, recurrent miscarriage, and infertility, and psychological disorders. Currently, hysteroscopy is considered the gold standard of methods for the diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions. However, it has a limited capacity for treatment, especially in moderate or severe cases in which permanent infertility can occur. For the first time, our investigation group demonstrated the possibility of regenerating endometrial tissue through bone marrow-derived stem cells (Santamaria et al., 2016). This project aims to determine the safety, tolerability and biodistribution of IGX1 (CD133+ cells selected after mobilization and collection of peripheral blood progenitor cells - CPSP) afte rthe intraarterial injection in rats with induced Asherman's Syndrome. Therefore, the focus of this project is to satisfy the preclinical requirements set out by the the AEMPS (Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios) in relation to the Phase I/II clinical trial "Phase I-II clinical trial of advanced, prospective, open, non-randomized, uncontrolled (before-after study), explanatory, multicentre cell therapy , national, intervention with a single treatment group in patients of reproductive age with gestational desire diagnosed with Asherman's Syndrome grade II, III or IV, treated by autologous non-expanded bone marrow stem/progenitor cells selected (IGX1)" (IGX1-ENT-XS-16-01)

The investigators plan to investigate the consequences of late effects (radiation-induced survivorship syndromes) after radiotherapy in Gynecological and Prostate cancer survivors on return to work (Yes/No) and if RTW happened then time to RTW. In addition, whether general health, type of work (occupation), work environment factors, individual factors (lifestyle, socioeconomic status etc.), contribute to the adverse late effects of radiotherapy and these Gynecological cancer survivors have a higher risk for disability pension/long term sickness absence (NOT Return to work).

MicroRNAs were shown to play an important role in regulating pain-processing in a wide range of experimental models and clinical pain disorders. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate a set of Micro-RNAs as diagnostic biomarkers of pain intensity in adolescents with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and to correlate with inflammatory markers and pain related comorbidities.

Feasibility of Improving Risk Stratification in Brugada Syndrome (BrS), retrospective cohort study To study the reproducibility and specificity of V-CoS for activation heterogeneities predisposing to VT/VF in a larger series of BrS patients and determining the incidence of low V-CoS score in a larger cohort of control patients. Population of 10 patients undergoing ablation for non-VT arrhythmia, 10 patients with atrial fibrillation, 10 relatives of BrS sufferers, who have confirmation of no pathology,10 patients with previous out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ischaemia, but with full revascularisation and recovery of left ventricular function, 10 elite athletes, 50 BrS sufferers with previous sudden cardiac death or appropriate Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy for VT/VF. DURATION 3 years

The investigators will prospectively evaluate tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery for amyloid in the soft tissue that is removed. Patients who have tissue that stains positive for amyloid will undergo cardiac testing to look for evidence of cardiac involvement.

It is acknowledged that IL-18, as a product of the inflammasome, is involved in host defence against viral and bacterial stimuli by modulating the immune response. The aim of this study was to determine IL-18 levels in serum of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and to investigate whether corticosteroid attenuate its levels. In addition, to explore the effect of corticosteroid therapy on the prognosis of ARDS.

The purpose of the study is to determine if a continuous feeding regimen as compared to an intermittent bolus feeding regimen leads to improved weight gain in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) after stage 1 procedures.

The purpose of the study is to assess short and long term outcomes of acute coronary syndrome in patients with non obstructive coronary atherosclerosis, to optimize the algorithm for diagnosis and to evaluate its effectiveness
