Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Although most of the information focuses on understanding how the ventilator produces lung damage, the pulmonary factors that predispose to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) have been less studied. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can adopt different morphological phenotypes, with its own clinical and mechanical characteristics. This morphological phenotypes may favor the development of VILI for same ventilatory strategy

Investigators propose a cross-sectional, observational pilot study to examine the contribution of stress, family dynamics, and peer relationships to quality of life (QOL) in adolescents with Tourette syndrome (TS). Investigators will recruit two groups of participants: 1) adolescents aged 13-17 years of age with TS and 2) adolescents aged 13-17 without any neurologic or psychiatric diagnoses. Participants and one of their parents/caregivers will complete a series of questionnaires screening for and quantifying the extent of stress and mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants will also complete instruments characterizing family interactions and peer relationships. Adolescents with TS will also undergo a semi-structured interview assessing the severity of their tics.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides valuable information to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) regarding lesion preparation, stent sizing, and stent optimization.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) results from compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow (colloquially termed the "funny bone"). CTS affects up to 6% of the population and 6000 patients undergo surgery annually in the UK. Surgery is the only proven treatment for CTS, although up to 30% of patients do not improve. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop a reliable test to diagnose CTS to improve the selection of patients for surgery. New techniques in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow the visualisation of nerve structure and function. Diffusion tensor MRI, also known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), can diagnose CTS with superior diagnostic accuracy and could enable the reliable diagnostic of CTS, improving the selection of patients for surgery. The study will include healthy volunteers (to refine the scanning sequence) and patients undergoing surgery for CTS. Patients will be scanned preoperatively and postoperatively using cutting-edge diffusion MRI techniques. The primary outcome will be change in the MRI-derived diffusion metrics following surgery. Secondary outcomes will consider how MRI relates to patient-reported outcomes and conventional clinical tests (ultrasound and nerve conduction studies). Leeds is the ideal location for this research because a) Leeds institutions are the most highly cited organisations in musculoskeletal research, b) Leeds houses the National Centre for Hyperpolarized MRI and a state-of-the-art MRI scanner, and c) Leeds is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for complex upper limb surgery.

Participants in the expanded access program are adults with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes who have no other treatment options available. The main aim of this program is to allow participants to have access to pevonedistat before FDA approval. This program will take place in the United States.

This is a pilot study of the Emerald device in Rett syndrome patients diagnosed with a confirmed MECP2 mutation. MC10 BioStamp nPoint patches will also be assessed with the goal to develop Rett-specific breathing algorithms

There are several clinical presentations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among the severe forms, pulmonary involvement with respiratory failure is common. Although severe lung involvement with SARS-CoV-2 meets the Berlin criteria for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), it differs from classic ARDS in that compliance (reflecting distensibility of the lung parenchyma) is frequently preserved. If the interest of Electrical Impedance Tomography has been demonstrated in classical ARDS, this is not the case in ARDS with COVID-19. However, the use of this technique in this particular patient population would make it possible to distinguish patients with severe hypoxemia linked to derecruitment from those without derecruitment, in whom hypoxemia is more likely to be linked to the loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction.

To translate and validate modifies polycystic ovary syndrome quality of life (MPCOQ) questionnaire into Urdu. To evaluate the reliability, validity and of Urdu version of modified polycystic ovary syndrome quality of life questionnaire (MPCOQ).

The Hyperventilation Provocation Test (HPTest) associated with end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2) measurement is a diagnostic tool for idiopathic hyperventilation syndrome (HVS). However, interpretation of HPTest remains unclear regarding the relevant PETCO2 values to consider and the occurrence of subjective symptoms. This case-control study aims to identify accurate HPTest measurements for the diagnosis of HVS, regardless of symptoms occurrence.

Patients who were admitted to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) outpatient clinic of our hospital between January 2017 and December 2020 and were treated with Major ozone autohemotherapy with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia syndrome will include to the study. Visual anolog scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnare (FIQ) and Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) scores of the patients before and after treatment were recorded. Statistical analysis of these outcome scores will be made.
