Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Preptin and amylin are pancreatic hormones which participate in glucose homeostasis. This study aims to evaluate how serum preptin and amylin levels are altered in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients and healthy women based on BMI groups .

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a physician-supervised non-surgical medical weight management program on prevalence of metabolic syndrome and to examine the relationship between program retention and levels of key indicators of metabolic syndrome among participants that self-enrolled to the program. A total of 479 overweight or obese participants aged 19 years or older were observed. The revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used to define metabolic syndrome.

The purpose of this multi-center observational study (utilizing the sites enrolling patients for the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS) [1U011HL125307-O1A1]) is to gather data regarding children with Down syndrome (DS) and Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) referred for treatment with adenotonsillectomy to inform a future randomized controlled trial in this population.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the ocular surface disease test results, anterior segment parameters, and ocular response analyzer (ORA) findings of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with those of healthy reproductive age female controls.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on insulin resistance, blood lipid profiles, body composition, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with obesity. Thirty-six postmenopausal women participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 18) or the control group (CON, n = 18). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition were measured before and after 12 weeks of EX or CON.

Researchers are trying to determine the best course of action regarding the dietary management with a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP diet) for irritable bowel syndrome.

Ninety women with PCOS candidate for ICSI were randomized to 2 groups:Group A: fresh samples of PCOS patients undergoing IVF (no= 45) and Group B: frozen samples of PCOS patients undergoing IVF (no= 45). Morphologically good embryos will be cultured in a culture dish and the supernatants will be collected freshly from culture system at day 3 and stored at -20 ̊ c until being tested. Morphologically good embryos scheduled for freezing will be cryopreserved for less than one year and thawed, the supernatant will be collected and stored at -20 ̊ c until being tested. Quantification of mtDNA in fresh and frozen culture media using qPCR technique.The template DNA prepared and the dilution standards prepared will be used for qPCR to determine the amount of MtDNA and nuclear DNA in the sample using QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR Kit

The aim of this study is to investigate serum SCUBE-1 and SCUBE-3 levels in PCOS and non-PCOS cases compared with non-PCOS healthy controls with similar age and body mass index

Plasma exchange procedures remove procoagulant and anticoagulant factors. Every procedure increases the risk of bleeding and repeated procedures increase the risk of bleeding mostly because lower fibrinogen levels. The aim of study is to define coagulation status of patient after plasmapheresis with different laboratory tests and to investigate the possibility of fibrinogen concentrate replacement for the correction of induced coagulation disorder.

The role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in the management of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is not precisely defined for children. The primary objective of this study was to describe the consequences of DISE in the therapeutic management for children with OSAHS. The secondary objectives were to analyze the correlation between the number of obstructive sites found during DISE, the value of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and the type of OSAHS.
