Oral mucositis is a common side effect from paclitaxel treatment. It can be very painful and compromise nutrition and oral hygiene, and it may increase the risk of infection. Although oral mucositis is a common side effect to chemotherapy, no available treatment is yet available that can effectively
HYPOTHESIS Early administration of human erythropoietin (EPO) in preterm infants reduces perinatal injury to the brain and improves neurodevelopmental outcome at 24 months corrected age.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To determine whether cerebral outcome is improved if infants born between 28 0/7 and 34 6/7
Previous studies showed that the intrahepatic circulation in cirrhosis is not able to adapt to sudden increases in blood flow, such as that occurring after a meal, due to endothelial dysfunction. This leads to a brisk increase in portal pressure (estimated by the HVPG). This method is therefore
Natural products have long been used in traditional medicine and are promising sources for novel therapeutic agents, especially in treating oral diseases such as dental caries.
Previously, herbs are used in dentistry for prevention and curative purpose of dental caries. The main advantages of using
BACKGROUND:
Atherosclerosis is this nation's leading cause of death for males and females, and Blacks and whites. There is mounting evidence that the oxidation of blood low density lipoproteins (LDL) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. LDL oxidation can be prevented by
This study was designed as a single blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. Subjects were never told what dose of blueberry powder was given. Researchers handling samples and data did not know what dose of blueberry powder subjects received on test day 2 or 3. The frozen blueberry yogurt
The current study is a randomized-controlled clinical trial that follows CONSORT guideline. The current trial include 30 symptomatic OLP patients in two parallel groups (intervention - topical triamcinolone acetonide adhesive paste and Vitamin E capsule, control - topical triamcinolone acetonide
The regular practice of physical exercises promotes anti-inflammatory effects, which reduces the mortality from all causes, especially by cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, physical exercise induces acute inflammatory responses. Acute resistance exercises provoke mechanical and metabolic
Preclinical data obtained using an Caco-2 intestinal cell model and enzyme assays suggest phenolic-rich potato extracts decrease intestinal glucose transport. The aim is to determine if these effects extend to the the an in vivo situation. Specifically, the glycemic response following consumption of
Collectively, these studies will provide novel data and insight into the impact of heightened vasoconstrictor responses in BL on vascular function. Interested participants will be asked to come in the fasted state (a minimum of 3 hr since the last meal) and to have refrained from alcohol, caffeine,
There are two accepted medical modalities for glaucoma treatment. The first, is a local application of an intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering drug. The second, is the application of systemic drugs to improve vascular regulation. In the present study we would like to investigate whether this systemic
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) afflicts nearly one-third of the adult population with all races and ethnicities represented in CVD prevalence. Unfortunately, a disparity exists such that the black population (BL) is disproportionately affected compared to other groups, including the white population
While being benefited from the results of previous studies, the sample size of the research was type 1 error performance α=0.05 and type 2 error performance β=0.20. The power of the test was taken as 1-β=0.80 and the power analysis was statistically made with NCCS PAS 11 program. 200 individuals
BACKGROUND:
A finding from the Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study (CLAS), a clinical trial, indicated that common carotid intima-media thickness responded more rapidly and more markedly to LDL-C lowering treatment than angiographic coronary stenosis or carotid roughness. New data from a
