Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

This study investigates the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of telehealth-enhanced hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (THCR) compared with traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors. THCR is a novel, hybrid model that targets the same core components as traditional CR (e.g., exercise training, patient education, and risk factor management), but uses a mixture of telehealth, clinic-, and home-based activities to offer 24 CR sessions (5 clinic-based + 19 home-based) over 12 weeks.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are chronic myeloid hemopathies characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis (with peripheral cytopenias) and which contrast with a marrow of normal richness. MDS is considered one of the four most common blood diseases. The incidence is estimated at 4,059 cases / year in 2012 with an average age of 78 years in men and 81 years in women (INCA report, Cancers in France in 2015). The incidence increases with lengthening of the lifespan. The main risk of MDS is transformation to acute leukemia in 30 to 40% of cases. Treatment options depend on clinical, hematologic and chromosomal abnormalities. The prognosis is considered to be at low or high risk of developing acute leukemia. This distinction will therefore have an impact on the therapeutic solution (s). MDS exhibit clinical, morphological and genetic heterogeneity. It is therefore necessary to form subgroups of patients to better understand the physiopathogenesis of this pathology. The constitution of a biocollection will make it possible to search for clinical and biological prognostic markers in order to identify patients progressing to acute myeloid leukemia.

Down syndrome is one of the genetic disorders that affect postural control and balance in children. Balance involves controlling the position of the body in space to achieve stability and orientation. pilates exercises are one of several techniques that are used to improve balance and postural control in adults and children. the purpose of the study is To investigate the effect of Pilates exercises on balance and gross motor co-ordination in children with Down syndrome

Very few studies have evaluated the prevalence of small fiber neuropathy (SFN) during pathologies that may be responsible for small fibers damage. SUDOSCAN is a new rapid (2 minutes), automated, reproducible and non-invasive technology to assess small fiber neuropathy by sweat function. With quantitative and reproducible results, SUDOSCAN allows physicians to early detect and follow-up peripheral neuropathy to monitor disease progression and assess treatment efficacy for a better patient management. SUDOSCAN® could allow the identification of SFN in painful patients apart from another pathology already diagnosed responsible for SFN. The purpose of the study SUDOCU is to assess the prevalence of small fiber neuropathies (SFN) in patients with systemic autoimmune pathologies or unexplained pain syndrome.

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a relatively common condition affecting mostly otherwise healthy young women. These patients have high heart rate and disabling symptoms during standing. Quality of life may be poor. The sympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system help to maintain normal blood pressures and heart rates during activities of daily life. The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of sympathetic activation as a cause of orthostatic symptoms. The investigators will assess the effects of a blood pressure medication (Moxonidine) on the symptoms during standing. Moxonidine lowers sympathetic activity. The investigators believe patients with high resting sympathetic activity might benefit from Moxonidine. It might reduce high heart rate and improve symptoms during standing. This study should help clinicians and the growing population of patients with POTS gain a better understanding of this disorder and find more personalized treatment.

Iliotibial band syndrome is where a tendon called iliotibial band gets irritated or swollen from rubbing against hip or knee when it gets too tensed. Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome (ITBS) is the most common cause of lateral knee pain among athletes who are involved in sports that require continuous running or repetitive knee flexion and extension. The incidence ranges from 1.6% to 12% in runners. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of clamshells and frog pump exercises on gluteus medius strengthening and lower extremity function in runners with iliotibial band syndrome.

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the most common chronic cause of postural lightheadedness, and upright confusion afflicting many Americans, mostly young women. Many POTS patients hyperventilate by increasing their depth of breathing that produces tachycardia, alters blood flow and blood pooling in the body and importantly reduces brain blood flow causing "brain fog". In this proposal the investigators will demonstrate in young women that abnormal repeated brief impairment of blood pressure and brain flow just after standing sensitizes the body's oxygen sensor in POTS to respond as if it were in a low oxygen environment causing hyperventilation and its consequences. In this project the investigators will use various drugs that will help to understand the mechanisms that cause POTS in this unique subset of POTS patients who hyperventilate.

Metabolic syndrome is a raising concern globally, especially in developing countries such as Pakistan. To prevent its risk factors diet and lifestyle modification is major solution. Functional foods have additional benefits of treating disease while providing basic nutrients. Mulberry is a native fruit with the properties of functional food, it is rich in anthocyanin and different anti-obesity,anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic treating potential antioxidants. Mulberry will prove its therapeutic potential against the risk factors of metabolic syndrome.

This is a Phase 1/2, multinational, open-label, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of GNT0003 in patients with Crigler-Najjar aged ≥10 years and requiring phototherapy. Patients will received a single administration of GNT0003 and will be followed for safety and efficacy of approximately 60 months (5 years): a follow-up of approximately 12 months (48 weeks) a long term follow-up of approximately 48 months (4 years), in order to be in line with the latest EMEA Guideline on follow-up of patients administered with gene therapy medicinal products, released on 22 Oct.2009 by the Committee for medicinal products for human use.

To explore the effects of Partial Body Weight Support (PBWS) within an enriched play environment for infants with Down Syndrome (DS), who are not yet walking, to better understand how PWBS may impact their mobility; exploration; and overall activity level. Hypothesis1 A: Infants will demonstrate increased movement counts on an ActiGraph during intervention compared to a control phase. Hypothesis 1B: Infants will demonstrate a higher frequency of exploratory behaviors during the intervention as compared to a control phase. Hypothesis 2: Infants will demonstrate an increased rate of improvement in Gross Motor Function Measure scores after the intervention compared to a control phase. Hypothesis 3: Infants will demonstrate higher parent-reported mastery motivation on the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire after the intervention compared to a control phase.
