Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a hereditary disease of bone metabolism that is not yet curable. Clinical phenotype is variable and reaches from demineralization of bone, deformation of the skeleton, microsomia and gait abnormality to breathing difficulties. Symptoms of the adult form are low-traumatic

The primary aims of the pilot study are to streamline the infrastructure, machinery, and clinical experience with the balloon before the start of the randomized trial. The inclusion and exclusion criteria, and measurement points will be similar for the two studies. The primary endpoints of the pilot

1. Current Knowledge and Rationale Gastro-esophageal (GE) cancers are a highly aggressive disease and are one of the major causes of cancer-related death in the world. Despite improvements in surgical and radiation techniques and the availability of newer agents, the prognosis of recurrent GE

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) consists of blood extravasation into the space between arachnoid and pia mater. Bleeding is a consequence of cerebral aneurysm rupture in most cases. It particularly affects females with an average age of 55 years. Despite incidence being only 9 cases out of 1000 people

Charcot's neuroarthropathy has been identified since 1883, yet we have much to learn about the pathophysiology and evidence based treatment options. Active CNO is characterised by repetitive trauma leading to inflammation in an insensate foot. This includes polypeptide receptor activator of nuclear

Background information on trial preparation The bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is an anaerobic gram-positive rod that among other areas exists as a part of the body's normal intestinal flora. In the intestine the bacteria breaks down carbohydrates to form lactic acid. The bacteria is tolerant

Hypothesis Implementation of a sedentary lifestyle with almost no physical activity in otherwise physical active individuals undergoing knee orthopaedic surgical procedures will during 6 weeks (4 to 8 weeks) - derange insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness - decrease disposition index - imply

Introduction This study will evaluate the effect on glucose, lipid and bone metabolism following conservative orthopaedic procedures in patients who suffered from acute Achilles tendon rupture. The sedentary rehabilitation period following these procedures may impact negatively upon glucose, lipid

The interesting material properties, such as good mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, low density, porosity adaptable, are closely associated to the intrinsic characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), of which BP is made . The high surface development of CNT, in addition to promoting

The Buckypaper (BP) is an innovative material that has attracted the attention of many research groups engaged in the study of its possible applications in various technological fields preliminary to human experimentation. In fact the experimentation, preliminary conducted on animal model, will be

Investigators will link and relate clinical data to a multiple "omics" analysis in patients developing persistent chronic symptoms (defined as pain that persists 3 months or more), after an episode of acute LBP. The development of persistent chronic pain will be assessed at 3 months after the acute

Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNIs) and Renal Fibrosis. CNIs including CsA and tacrolimus are the cornerstone of maintenance immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation. These drugs are so effective that newer generation CNIs such as Voclosporin (Isotechnika Pharma, Inc, Edmonton, Alberta) are in

This was a prospective, randomized, single centre, single-blind study. Patients were randomized (1:1) to use Low-osmolar contrast media or iso-osmolar contrast media for TACE. On the morning of 2th and 5th days after TACE, a hematologic check was performed, the hematologic check including serum
