In septic shock, the intensity and duration of low blood pressure can lead to a critical reduction in renal tissue perfusion and lead to the onset of more or less severe Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Vasorin (Vasn) is a protein strongly expressed in large vessels and kidneys, whose …

SGLT2 inhibitors such as ertugliflozin improve blood pressure and kidney outcomes in people living with diabetes through incompletely understood mechanisms, however, not all patients treated with SGLT2 inhibition have improved outcomes. Changes in kidney sodium handling is among …

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is often complicated by Right Ventricular Dysfunction (RVD), and the incidence can be as high as 64%. The mechanism includes pulmonary vascular dysfunction and right heart systolic dysfunction. Pulmonary vascular dysfunction includes acu…

The purpose of this study is to assess both the feasibility and efficacy of a 6-week mobile-application-based neuromuscular training program in high school athletes by measuring adherence rates and examining changes in agility and neuromuscular control. Outcomes were measured bot…

In 2020, 11.6% of newborns are delivered prematurely in Taiwan. Excessive sputum is a common symptom of respiratory complications in premature infants. Effective methods for reducing sputum secretion in premature infants need to be urgently explored.

This study evaluates the effect of two flushing agents (epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)) during full pulpotomy using two different calcium silicate-based materials (MTA and premixed bioceramic putty) on postoperative pain, success rate and dentin b…

The goal of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate and compare the short-term effects of two intracanal medicaments-calcium hydroxide and a tobramycin-dexamethasone combination (Tobradex)-on postoperative pain following emergency root canal treatment in adult patients wi…

Periodontitis is a chronic, multifactorial disease primarily driven by the accumulation of bacterial deposits. Treatment involves the mechanical removal of the biofilm, traditionally performed by scaling and root planing (SRP). However, SRP is time-consuming and can cause irrever…

This study aims to determine the effect of using Coolsense, which is created using the proven effect of cold application during insulin injection, and Buzzy, which is a combination of vibration and cold application, in reducing pain and anxiety in children diagnosed with Type 1 d…

The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral internal capsule (VC) for participants with treatment refractory opioid use disorder (OUD) who have cognitive,…

the efficacy and safety of low intensity shock wave therapy (LiSWT) as an ED treatment. Olsen et al. demonstrated that LiSWT might be a possible solution in some ED patients of organic origin . The clinical results revealed that LiSWT was beneficial to ED patients nonresponsive t…

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is one of the most reported myotendinous pathologies due to overuse in the literature. In the general adult population, its incidence is 2.35 cases per 1,000 patients, with no difference between men and women. The international literature reports that u…

The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether pulmonary limitations that increase the oxygen (O2) cost of breathing impact dyspnea on exertion (DOE) and peak exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and obesity. As per investigator's hypothesis, obesity is likely a …

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a group positive psychology-based educational program can reduce fear of cancer recurrence in women with a history of breast cancer who have completed primary treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy). The main questi…

The primary objective is to determine the prognostic value of markers of ROS and cAMP-PKA signaling to assess disease severity and progression in patients with ADPKD.

African-Americans have disparately limited access to optimal cancer care. They have the highest overall cancer death rate and shortest survival time of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. Elucidation of disparities in access to cancer care are important since previou…

Purpose: The study aimed to determine whether adding extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to a standardized physiotherapy program provides additional benefits for patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. Specifically, it examined effects on pain intensity, pressure pain th…

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the feasibility and preliminary impact of a pilot financial reimbursement intervention for women with breast cancer living in the Deep South who are eligible for a clinical trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can we r…

Sometimes, it is necessary to re-learn a previously learned movement behavior, for example, a bad posture during the golf drive or while playing the piano. Unlearning or relearning an intensively trained behavior is particularly important if the behavior is hampering recovery, fo…
