NCT01356420
The purpose of this study is to learn about Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS). SLOS is an inherited condition that is caused by the body not making an enzyme as it should. The body needs the enzyme to help make cholesterol. SLOS can cause many health problems including slow growth and development, eating disorders, sleep disorders, behavior disorders, and eye diseases. Severe SLOS leads to birth defects and mental retardation and in many cases early death. The investigators plan to measure cholesterol and other sterol levels, perform clinical observations, whole body testing and imaging (brain MRIs), to learn more about the disease and its progression, differences in the clinical features among individuals with SLOS, and look at the effect of cholesterol supplementation in this condition. The study is an interventional study to characterize disease progression and correlations between clinical, biochemical and physiological features of the disease. The main hypothesis is that dietary cholesterol supplementation does not improve features of SLOS related to the brain (e.g. IQ, behavior).
NCT02250183
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey dressing relative to SANTYL® ointment dressing on time to heal, bacterial growth in the wound, patient satisfaction, and treatment costs in patients with partial thickness burns. The study has four hypotheses: 1. It is hypothesized that MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey will result in significantly faster wound healing (i.e., fewer days) when compared to SANTYL®. 2. It is hypothesized that MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey sites will yield significantly fewer positive cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria when compared to SANTYL® sites. 3. It is hypothesized that patients will provide significantly higher patient care satisfaction ratings regarding their MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey sites when compared to ratings with regard to their SANTYL® sites. 4. It is hypothesized that treatment costs, across participants, will be significantly lower for MEDIHONEY® Gel with Active leptospermum honey than for SANTYL®.
