General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six
The epidemiological survey of chronic kidney disease in China shows that the current incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China is about 10.8%, with about 119 million patients. About 2% of patients will enter the stage of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require dialysis or kidney
Current treatments of periodontitis have limited efficacy since they fail to suppress microorganisms satisfactorily over time. The aim of present study was to investigate whether there are differences between initial treatment of chronic periodontitis (SRP) and SRP in conjunction with injectable
The study will be conducted in compliance with International Standard good clinical practices (GCPs) and the Declaration of Helsinki. The protocol was approved by local Institutional Review Board and registered in clinical trials.gov.
Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation Blood counts and liver
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of brain tumor arising from glial cells accounting for 52% of all parenchymal brain cancer cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors. GBM has pronounced mitotic activity, substantial tendency toward neoangiogenesis (microvascular proliferation),
The leading cause of death in the world is due to cardiovascular events, which originate from coronary artery stenosis therefore it affects myocardial blood flow and finally may cause infarction. ST-Segment elevation is an indicator of infarction (STEMI) in electrocardiography (ECG) besides cardiac
Recruitment will be a prospective study in patients with body mass index (BMI) of 23.5-30 kg/m2, aged between 18 and 65 years old. Each patient will be preoperatively screened (including psychologist assessment) and evaluated by the study multidisciplinary team before recruitment. The study will
Rationale: Individuals with motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) undergo dramatic changes in body composition in the first 18 months post-injury, including declines in bone mineral density (BMD) that increase lower-extremity fragility fracture risk, and increases in fat mass that increase
Subjects and methods Study product The test product is the pure D-allulose which is a rare sugar. The control product is the non-calorie sweetener erythritol.
Study design This is a single center, prospective, randomized, control trial. After informed consent is obtained, history taking and physical
Primary objectives:
- to assess the effect of discontinuation of alendronate (ALN) on C-terminal telopeptide crosslinks (CTX) and Type 1 procollagen amino-terminal-propeptide (P1NP) after 6 months
- to assess the effect of discontinuation of ALN on bone mineral density (BMD) on DXA scans at 2
When a tooth is avulsed, it is separated from its socket causing damage to the attachment apparatus. The periodontal ligament (pdl) is a group of specialized connective tissue fibers that attaches the cementum of the root (outer layer) to the alveolar bone. Avulsion can cause damage to the pdl and
Non-institutionalized outpatients under preventive care were voluntarily enrolled into the study. Participants were aged of 80 years or over, have never manifested myocardial infarction, stroke or peripheral arterial disease. Enrolled participants underwent a detailed clinical examination, including
Study background and rationale
Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL) and its decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) play key roles in regulating bone turnover. They are involved in the mechanism of "crosstalk" between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. After binding with RANK,
It is becoming apparent that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-associated fractures. A meta-analysis by Vestergaard showed that patients with type 1 DM have decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk. This study noted a
Objectives:
1. Assess the influence of immune system cells in the modulation of bone turnover in patients with RA, AS and healthy donors (Task 2).
2. Analyze the osteoclast precursors and their differentiation into fully functional osteoclasts in a subgroup of patients with RA, AS and healthy donors
