NCT07436871
Cataract is the leading cause of reversible vision loss, while glaucoma remains the primary cause of irreversible blindness, often impairing contrast sensitivity (CS), glare tolerance, and dark adaptation. These visual challenges are particularly relevant when selecting intraocular lenses (IOLs) for glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery. Monofocal IOLs are the safest and most commonly used option for glaucoma patients due to their optical simplicity and low incidence of photic phenomena, though they do not provide spectacle independence for near or intermediate vision. Multifocal IOLs (MFIOLs), while offering greater spectacle independence, are relatively contraindicated in glaucoma due to increased visual disturbances like glare and halos. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs offer an intermediate solution, using advanced optics to provide a continuous range of vision and fewer photic disturbances than MFIOLs. EDOF lenses have demonstrated good uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuity in patients with mild to moderate glaucoma, with promising CS outcomes and high patient satisfaction. However, findings on CS performance remain inconsistent across studies. Given these considerations, this study seeks to determine whether EDOF IOLs can be a viable alternative to monofocal lenses in glaucoma patients, potentially expanding their options for spectacle independence without compromising visual quality. The trial, conducted at OMIQ (Barcelona), will directly compare an EDOF IOL and a monofocal IOL made from the same material to assess their effects on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and photic phenomena in this specific patient population.

NCT07434102
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the ultrasound assessment of the angle formed between the terminal segment of the Umbilical Venous and the initial segment of the Ductus Venosus (DV)play a role in Umbilical Venous Catheterization (UVC). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the Umbilical Venous-Ductus Venosus angle on Point-of-care ultrasonography improve the prediction and success of UVC placement in neonates ? The secondary aim was to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided navigation with corrective maneuvers for correct UVC placement.
NCT06769061
Objectives: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of acupuncture on reducing Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) in gynaecological cancer patients who have received carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy combination. Results of this pilot trial will provide preliminary information for a potential a larger scale multicentre study. Hypothesis: Acupuncture can significantly reduce CIPN in gynaecological cancer patients treated with chemotherapy Design and subjects: This is a pilot, prospective randomised controlled trial. This is an exploratory trial to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of acupuncture in reducing CIPN in gynaecological cancer patients. Eligible patients will be 1:1:1 randomised to three groups: electroacupuncture group, sham acupuncture group and waiting-list (usual care) control group. For electroacupuncture and sham acupuncture groups, the assessors and the patients will be blinded to the treatment given. 1. Electroacupuncture group - patients will receive 6 weeks of electroacupuncture, 2 sessions per week, by a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner from the School of Chinese Medicine. 2. Sham acupuncture group - patients will receive 6 weeks of sham acupuncture similar to the above. 3. Waiting-list (usual care) control group - patients will not receive any treatment. Main outcomes: Acupuncture effects will be assessed at baseline and 3, 6,12 weeks post intervention by: 1. Patient reported outcome measures: FACT/GOG-Ntx questionnaire for assessing CIPN symptoms and EORTC-QLQ-C30 and CIPN20 questionnaires for assessing quality of life symptom 2. Clinician reported outcome measures: NCI-CTCAE grading for CIPN by clinicians and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test as an objective measurement of CIPN. Data analysis: Intention to treat analysis will be carried out. Baseline demographics will be compared between the 3 groups. Change from baseline total score will be calculated and analysed using 2-sample t-test. 95% CI will be reported for treatment differences. Score for different subcategories will be analysed in a similar manner. Data collected at week 6 will be used for outcome analysis. P\<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Acupuncture efficacy, effectiveness and placebo effect will be indicated by comparison of acupuncture vs. sham acupuncture, acupuncture vs. waiting-list, and sham acupuncture vs. waiting-list, respectively. Expected results: Patients in the acupuncture arm will have reduced numbness and peripheral neuropathy and improved quality of life without any adverse event.

This interventional crossover study examines the effect of exercise timing relative to meal intake on postprandial glucose responses in healthy, physically active young adults. Participants complete five experimental conditions involving endurance exercise performed before or after breakfast or dinner, as well as a non-exercise control condition, while wearing a continuous glucose monitoring device. Postprandial glucose responses are assessed for the three consecutive meals following each exercise session. Following morning exercise, outcomes are assessed after breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the same day. Following evening exercise, outcomes are assessed after dinner on the same day and after breakfast and lunch on the subsequent day. All meals are standardized and consumed at fixed clock times.
NCT07433946
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized two-arm interventional nutritional study evaluating the effects of partial enteral nutrition (LH VIOLA) in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at risk of malnutrition. A total of 146 patients (73 per arm) will be enrolled across 4 centers. IBD, including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, is associated with malabsorption, weight loss, sarcopenia, and malnutrition, which negatively impact quality of life and treatment outcomes. Nutritional assessment using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) will identify patients at risk. Participants will be randomized to receive either nutritional counseling alone or counseling plus oral LH VIOLA supplementation (≥412 kcal/day) for 16 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate maintenance or recovery of body weight at 16 weeks. Secondary objectives include assessment of weight at 24 weeks, muscle strength (handgrip), body composition and metabolic parameters (BIA/BIVA, vitamin B12/D, pre-albumin), quality of life (SF-12), economic impact, adherence, gastrointestinal tolerability, and reduction in malnutrition risk (MUST score). The study duration per patient is 24 weeks (16 weeks of intervention plus 8 weeks follow-up), with a total study duration of 18 months. The sample size is powered to detect an increase from 40% to 65% in patients achieving weight maintenance or gain at 16 weeks, accounting for a 15% dropout rate.

NCT07432542
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether closing the pelvic floor peritoneum during laparoscopic radical resection of mid-low rectal cancer can reduce the incidence of postoperative ileus. This study will also assess the impact of pelvic floor peritoneal closure on patient recovery and quality of life after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can closing the pelvic floor peritoneum reduce the incidence of ileus within 30 days after surgery in patients with mid-low rectal cancer? 2. What is the impact of pelvic floor peritoneal closure on postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage and pelvic infection? 3. How do the two surgical approaches differ in their effects on patients' postoperative anal function, urinary function, and quality of life? Researchers will compare two approaches after laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer: closing the pelvic floor peritoneum versus not closing it, to observe which method more effectively prevents postoperative ileus. Participants will: 1. Undergo laparoscopic radical resection with anus preservation for mid-low rectal cancer 2. Receive either pelvic floor peritoneal closure or non-closure treatment based on random assignment 3. Attend regular follow-up visits to evaluate intestinal function recovery and occurrence of complications 4. Complete quality of life questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 scale) at 6 months after surgery

NCT07430124
This prospective trial aims to compare the effects of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on airway pressures and oxygenation in adult patients undergoing balloon dilatation under direct laryngoscopy. Airway procedures performed under general anesthesia are associated with unique respiratory mechanics and limited ventilation conditions, making the choice of an optimal ventilation strategy particularly important. Adult patients aged 18-65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III will be allocated to receive either FCV or VCV during surgery. Ventilatory parameters, airway pressures, pulmonary compliance, and arterial blood gas values will be recorded at predefined intraoperative time points. The primary outcome is the PaO₂ measured 20 minutes under an FiO₂ of 0.8-1.0 after starting the ventilation under general anesthesia, reflecting early intraoperative oxygenation under stable conditions. By providing comparative data on respiratory mechanics and oxygenation, this study aims to contribute to the identification of lung-protective ventilation strategies in patients undergoing balloon dilatation under direct laryngoscopy.
NCT06599697
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded phase 2 exploratory clinical trial of intravenously administered pooled human immunoglobulin (IVIG) in anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) immune mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). Planned enrollment is 12 individuals with active anti-HMGCR IMNM meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Assuming 20% drop-out, the investigators anticipate 10 participants will complete all study assessments. Enrolled participants will be randomized 1:1 to either IVIG 2g/kg or placebo (0.9% sodium chloride at equivalent volume) at weeks 0, 4, and 8. The primary efficacy and co-primary safety and tolerability endpoints will be assessed at week 12. After the randomized phase of the trial, all participants will be offered to continue on to an open-label extension phase in which participants will receive IVIG at weeks 12, 16, and 20. Participants will then return at week 24 for a final non-infusion visit to reassess safety, tolerability, and efficacy outcome.
