Alirocumab in Patients With Sepsis

Sepsis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug alirocumab, which may lower cholesterol, can reduce the amount of inflammation caused by an infection that has caused either low blood pressure or difficulty breathing. Participants will be randomized to receive a single IV infusion of alirocumab or a placebo.

Single and Combined Effects of Behavioral, Academic, and Medication Treatments for ADHD in the Classroom...

ADHD

This study is the first to systematically evaluate the efficacy of single and combined academic accommodation, behavioral treatment, and medication treatment in a large sample of children with ADHD. Using a scientifically rigorous, cross-over design the impact of these approaches on ecologically valid measures of outcome (on-task behavior, quiz scores, academic productivity) will be assessed to inform effective school intervention.

Focal Muscular Vibration in Patients With Severe Acquired Brain Injury

Brain InjuriesSpasticity1 more

Severe acquired brain injury (sABI) is a group of disorders that cause long-term disability. Rehabilitation is essential to counteract bed immobilization, muscle failure, pain, and sensory deficits that can affect the clinical and rehabilitation pathway of these patients. Focal muscle vibration (FMV) is a tool that uses low-amplitude, high-frequency vibrations that when applied to muscle-tendon units. This technique, administered at specific frequencies, amplitudes and durations, can generate action potentials of the same frequency as the stimulus applied to the muscle or tendon. This makes it possible to activate selected afferent fibers and stimulate targeted brain areas with persistent effects over time (long-term potentiation). Regarding the effect of counteracting vibration spasticity, FMV is able to inhibit the reflex arc and induce reciprocal inhibition of functional agonist muscle. In addition, the strong proprioceptive stimulus generated by vibration is able to reach the primary motor and somatosensory cortex, enhancing cortical mechanisms that regulate co-contraction between agonist and antagonist muscles, thereby reducing muscle tone and joint stiffness. In many studies, this technique has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and joint stiffness by improving muscle contraction and motor control.

Colorado Oral Strengthening Device

Parkinson Disease

University of Colorado is looking for adults with Parkinson's disease to participate in a research study. The study aims to explore how a novel low technology device can achieve an increase in tongue strength comparable to standard of care exercise using tongue depressors but with the kinematics and simple biofeedback of existing high cost devices. Research has shown that tongue resistance exercises paired with biofeedback have resulted in improved tongue strength to support chewing, control of food and liquid in the mouth, and propulsion of material for a swallow.

Prospective Pilot ATOMS vs AUS

Post-Prostatectomy IncontinenceUrinary Stress Incontinence3 more

Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence (PPI) is a common complication affecting 1% to 40% of patients after surgery. When conservative treatments fail, the installation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been the treatment of choice for PPI since its introduction more than 50 years ago. Although small studies suggest inferior success rate of male slings compare to the AUS in moderate to severe male incontinence; recent studies, one prospective and one Canadian multicenter cohort study, have demonstrated adjustable transobturator male sling (ATOMS) as a safe and efficient alternative to treat PPI. Interestingly, the ATOMS does not required any operation manipulation from the user in order to void and it causes potentially less urethral erosion and less urethral atrophy than the AUS; although those findings were never compared head to head with the AUS. Therefore, we believe that a thorough prospective non-inferiority study comparing the outcomes and effectiveness of the ATOMS device versus the AUS in treating moderate to severe PPI could prove itself useful in guiding urologists and patients to choose their best treatment of male incontinence. The null hypothesis posed for the present study is that ATOMS is non inferior to AUS for the treatment of moderate to severe PPI using the non-inferiority margin of 15% to be of acceptable lower effectiveness. With regards to study methods, this will be a pilot prospective, randomized controlled trial, non-blinded with a non-inferiority design. This pilot study will take place at the CIUSSS de l'Estrie, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, with two surgeons. All male patients with moderate to severe incontinence after their prostate surgery, who are suitable for incontinence surgery will be screened for study eligibility respecting the exclusion and inclusion criteria. After written informed consent, enrolled patients will be randomized assigned (1:1) to one of the two interventions' arms (AUS or ATOMS). Sixty patients are estimated to be randomized in the two arms the day of their surgery with a computer-based algorithm sequence. By completing this pilot prospective study, we hope to provide concrete and scientifically significant evidence on the effectiveness of ATOMS in the treatment of moderate to severe PPI comparing with the AUS. Although both treatments are commonly used today, there has been little evidence comparing both devices side by side with more severe PPI. We therefore hope to make a global impact with said project.

Letrozole With and Without Simvastatin for the Treatment of Stage I-III Hormone Receptor Positive,...

Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v84 more

This early phase I trial tests whether letrozole with simvastatin works better than letrozole alone to stop tumor cell proliferation in patients with stage I-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative invasive breast cancer. Letrozole and simvastatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The addition of simvastatin to letrozole may be more effective at stopping the growth of cancer cells than letrozole alone.
