STUDY 1: Functional and Metabolic Parameters in participants with NAFLD Participants will undertake two study visits, within a 14-day period. One of the visits will involve MR assessments that will take up to three hours in total. The second visit will involve a postprandial study day using stable
Design The Institutional Review Board of a tertiary care hospital approved the study (IRB No. 201600576A3). A randomized controlled trial was performed in stroke patients with different exercise regimens and was blind to the assessors. The study was conducted from August 2016 to June 2018.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinopathy which affects 5-10% of reproductive age women (1). The three main features of the syndrome are polycystic ovaries, high levels of androgen in blood and chronic an-ovulation/oligo-an ovulation (2). Women with PCOS have a greater risk of
The Central Hypothesis The central hypothesis of this study is that amino acids sourced from soy protein, a lysine rich, non-animal dietary substrate can serve as a major nutrient source for bacterial phyla capable of butyrate synthesis in the gut, and that soy protein has a protective effect for
Periodontal diseases is a chronic inflammatory diseases initiated by microbial infection that leads to a host response resulting in inflammatory breakdown of tooth supporting, osseous and soft tissue structures YKL-40 also called as human cartilage glycoprotein-39(HC-gp39), an acute phase protein is
In a prospective, randomized clinical trial of de novo mandibular fracture patients requiring intraoral surgical repair with plating, the investigators will:
1. Compare the effects of supplemental vitamin C to placebo on soft tissue wound healing, measured by a) biomarkers of soft tissue repair
The "strong pulse disease" was treated by acupuncture, phlebotomy and leeches from 2600 to c. Modern history began when in 1628 William Harvey described the circulatory system and in 1733 stephen hales made the first blood pressure measurement. In 1896 was recognized as a clinical entity, thanks to
The administration of the tranexamic acid (TRAXA), an antifibrinolytic, blocks primary fibrinolysis, and thus the haemorrhage, in the early postoperative period. Significant surgical operations, as well as trauma, initiate a similar dynamic homeostatic mechanism between the creation of a clot
Chronic neutrophilic inflammation is a feature of bronchiectasis and the levels of neutrophilic inflammation predict the risk of future exacerbations. Neutrophilic inflammation is highest in participants with P. aeruginosa and other Gram negative pathogens and inflammation can be suppressed by
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) plays a major role for the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Targeted treatment of IR in affected tissues is, however, almost non-existing, except for weight-loss and physical activity. The central hypothesis of
The investigators propose to examine the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonist Liraglutide on autonomic sudomotor function and endothelial and neurovascular functions as well as markers of inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary objective will be changes in peripheral
Inhalation aztreonam (AZLI) is an aerosolized formulation of the monobactam antibiotic aztreonam with lysine as a synthetic substance in place of arginine. This substitution was made as arginine, which is in the intravenous (IV) formulation of aztreonam, can cause airway inflammation as seen in
