This is a Phase 2, , randomized (1:1:1), placebo-controlled, 2-weeks, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the mechanistic effect of oral administration of potent inhibitor of neutrophil elastase(Inhaled All trans retinoic acid and inhaled isotretinoin in
In-patients
1. Determine the frequency of low serum Vit D levels (<50 nmol/L) in COVID-19 patients.
2. Determine the relationship between baseline vitamin D status and disease severity, laboratory biochemical tests of white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte count,
The study aims are:
- Task 1: pathophysiological characterization of CFRD with assessment of the relative contribution of the insulin resistance and the β-cellular secretion impairment through the use of a Minimum Model applied to OGTT for the evaluation of insulin sensitivity and secretion
- Task
In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the
It has been reported that nearly half of the patients who are hospitalized for Covid-19 pneumonia have on admission old age or comorbidities.
In particular, hypertension was present in 30% of the cases, diabetes in 19%, coronary heart disease in 8% and chronic obstructive lung disease in 3% of the
Patient population and setting. We will identify all patients undergoing their first PD catheter insertion during the study period, at 20 participating centers in Canada and the USA (see Appendix 1). A total of 800 cases have been captured to date during our pilot study and an additional 1,520 cases
Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
To identify determinants of recovery from ICUAW and to discover the effects of ICUAW on physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after critical illness. This phenomenon has become more evident over recent years and still requires extensive research.
ICUAW is an umbrella term for
1.1 Basic information Pneumonia is still the most important infectious disease in terms of morbidity and mortality and is one of the most common causes of hospitalization for acute respiratory failure. The aim of this trial is to compare the use of High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) oxygenation versus
The aim of the study is to compare effects of high 0.8 FiO2 and low 0.4 FiO2 in patients are undergoing supratentorial craniotomy surgery primarily on postoperative surgical wound infection and secondarily on postoperative pulmonary complications.
The study will be performed prospectively in patient
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is acknowledged as a highly effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Usually single fecal infusion achieves satisfactory cure rates of recurrent CDI). However, several retrospective studies show that severe clinical picture of
Research target:To explore exercise intervention in patients with diabetic nephropathy (intervention time for 3 years), the events in the primary end point was observed (double serum creatinine, ESRD dialysis) and secondary events (reduced urinary protein and retinopathy progression, cardiovascular
BACKGROUND Interest in vitamin D has seen an unprecedented revival sparked by the finding that vitamin D has pleiotropic effects. The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) is widely present in different cell types and organs and regulates more than 200 genes.
The link between vitamin D and critical
We will recruit COPD patients in stable condition (free of exacerbation of the disease for a month), 40 without chronic respiratory failure and 40 with home oxygen therapy.
The patients will be proposed to perform the following tests and to fill in questionnaires:
