NCT00649792

NCT01007682
This study aims at identifying risk factors for the development of intrusive reexperiencing symptoms. In particular, the investigators examine the influence of working memory capacity and thought suppression on the occurrence of unpleasant memories of a negative experience. Hypothesis: People with high working memory capacities (HWMC) are able to successfully suppress memories of an unpleasant experience (presentation of a distressing movie). In contrast, in people with low working memory capacities (LWMC), attempts to suppress memories of an unpleasant experience inadvertently lead to an increase of these memories. Study phase one: Assessment of working memory capacity in 200 healthy participants by means of a computerized task. Selection of 50 participants with HWMC and of 50 participants with LWMC who participate in study phase two. Study phase two: Presentation of a distressing movie and subsequent assessment of memories of the movie during several days in the daily life of participants. Comparison of 4 groups regarding the frequency of instructions in daily life:(group 1: HWMC participants who are instructed to suppress thoughts of the movie, group 2: LWMC participants who are instructed to suppress thoughts of the movie, group 3: HWMC participants who are instructed to allow the occurence of thoughts of the movie, group 4: LWMC participants who are instructed to allow the occurence of thoughts of the movie)
NCT01547988
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a group-based functional and specific balance training program on balance function in healthy older adults. It is commonly considered difficult to improve balance function in healthy older adults. The program included dual-task exercises; physical training exercises and a cognitive task (e.g. reading or reciting a story) performed simultaneously, as well as perturbation exercises, where balance is challenged in unexpected ways. The investigators hypothesized that following the proposed training, older adults would improve their speed of taking a step in both single and dual task conditions, refine their ability to control balance when standing still and improve their self-reported physical function.
NCT00146614
The purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) after non-myeloablative transplantation can be reduced by using a combination of three immune suppressive medication; sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate.
NCT00024544
The purpose of the study is to evaluate an investigational medication to treat chronic asthma. The research is being conducted at 20 clinical research sites in the US and is open to both men and women ages 18 to 70 years. Participants in the study will have a number of visits to a research site over an 8-month period. All study-related care and medication is provided to qualified participants at no cost. This includes all visits, examinations and laboratory work.
NCT00289523
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential early EEG predictors of an individual's response to treatment with antidepressant medications. Objectives: * Prospectively confirm accuracy of current EEG biomarker algorithm * Determine preferred clinical intervention for subjects with negative indicator * Identify predictors of worsening suicide ideation
NCT00661817
Obesity is a serious health problem that is a contributing factor for heart disease and high blood pressure. This study will evaluate a lifestyle modification program that aims to encourage weight loss and improve the health of people with high blood pressure from low income and minority communities.
NCT00768040
To assess the efficacy of oral aliskiren as a therapy for diabetic macular edema
NCT01451099
Evaluate the ability of Ji Gami(TM) DO to induce hair growth in male and female subjects with hair loss.
NCT01451047
To evaluate the ability of injections of Ji Gami(TM) and Ji Gami(TM) DO to induce hair growth in male and female subjects with hair loss
NCT01451021
Evaluate the ability of injections of Ji Gami(TM) and Ji Gami(TM) DO to induce hair growth in male and female subjects with hair loss.
NCT00718042
Protocol designed to test blood samples from blood donors of whole blood and blood components using a new investigational screening test (PRISM Chagas) that detects antibody to T. cruzi (Chagas infection). Results will be compared to the current T. cruzi antibody screening assay. Specimens positive with the screening assay will be further tested with a new investigational Chagas confirmatory assay \[Enzyme Strip Assay (ESA) Chagas\]. Additional specimens collected under separate protocols or sourced from suppliers will also be provided to the clinical sites for testing with PRISM Chagas assay and ESA Chagas.
NCT00616330
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a vaginal product compared with that of other vaginal products in the treatment of vaginal infections.
NCT00758953
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an investigational medication compared with placebo in the treatment of pain associated with endometriosis.
NCT00590590
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two vaginal products compared with that of placebo to determine if the two products are better than placebo in the relief of vaginal discomfort.
NCT00110721
This is a Phase II, multi-center study of GM-CT-01 which has been shown to increase the anti-tumor activity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in mice. 5-FU is a chemotherapy drug commonly used in cancer patients. In this Phase II study, patients with colon cancer which has spread, despite treatment with approved therapies, will receive GM-CT-01 plus 5-FU in monthly cycles for at least 2 cycles or until their disease progresses.
NCT01545492
INTRODUCTION: CHIPS-Child is a parallel, ancillary study to the CHIPS randomized controlled trial (RCT). CHIPS is designed to determine whether 'less tight' control \[target diastolic BP (dBP) 100mmHg\] or 'tight' control \[target dBP 85mmHg\] of non-proteinuric hypertension in pregnancy is better for the baby without increasing maternal risk. CHIPS-Child is a follow up study at 12 m corrected post-gestational age (± 2 m) limited to non-invasive examination \[anthropometry, hair cortisol, buccal swabs for epigenetic testing and a maternal questionnaire about infant feeding practices and background\]. Annual contact will be maintained in years 2-5 and contact will include annual parental measurement of the child's height, weight and waist circumference. OBJECTIVE: To directly test, for the first time in humans, whether differential blood pressure (BP) control in pregnancy has developmental programming effects, independent of birthweight. We predict that, like famine or protein malnutrition, 'tight' (vs. 'less tight') control of maternal BP will be associated with fetal under-nutrition and effects will be consistent with developmental programming.
NCT00391911
Rhabdomyolysis has many causes including trauma, muscle crush injuries, lack of blood supply to an arm or leg, burns, seizures, drugs and hereditary disorders. Rhabdomyolysis causes the breakdown of muscle cells and the release of a molecule called myoglobin. Myoglobin is very harmful to the kidneys and can lead to kidney failure. Continuous dialysis has been shown to remove the myoglobin molecule from the blood in patients with rhabdomyolysis. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been used in patients receiving contrast dye for x-rays and has shown less worsening of kidney function compared to patients not receiving NAC. Early and aggressive treatment of patients with rhabdomyolysis with standard therapy, continuous dialysis and a drug called N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may prevent the development of acute kidney failure. Patients who develop kidney failure from this disorder are often critically ill and have a much higher chance of not surviving than those who do not develop kidney failure. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of NAC and Continuous Veno-Venous hemo(dia)filtration (CRRT)early in the course of rhabdomyolysis (in addition to standard therapy)decreases the chance of developing acute renal failure
