A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of USL255 as Adjunctive Therapy in Patients With Refractory Partial-Onset Seizures

A Pilot Study to Assess the Efficacy and Effectiveness of High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) in Preventing Pulmonary Exacerbations in Children With Muscle Weakness and Restrictive Lung Disease To further demonstrate that airway clearance provided by Vest therapy reduces the frequency of respiratory exacerbations requiring hospitalization or antibiotic utilization in patients with muscle weakness and restrictive lung disease.

London study to determine if acupuncture helps delayed gastric emptying

University of Weatern Ontario, Canada study to estimate to what extent computerized fetal heart rate (FHR) parameters are affected by labor and to estimate the relationship between FHR parameters and the degree of fetal metabolic acidosis in laboring patients at term. Study concluded that in term pregnant women with reassuring FHR tracing, labor causes an increase in both short- and long-term FHR variation, which was abolished in the presence of nonreassuring FHR tracing. Computer-derived FHR parameters studied during the last hour of labor were not correlated with the degree of metabolic acidosis as measured in the umbilical artery at birth.

Johns Hopkins study - Study concluded that daily Potasssium Citrate wards off Kidney Stones in Seizure patients on High Fat Diet

2010 Ongoing study being conducted by NICHD - STAN Fetal Heart Monitor trial at clinicaltrials.gov - Research to test a new instrument, called a fetal STAN monitor, that may be used during labor to monitor the electrical activity of the baby's heart. This new instrument is designed to help the doctor determine how well the baby is doing during labor. It will be used along with the existing electronic fetal monitor used to measure the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions during birth. The specific purpose of this research study is to see if this new instrument (fetal STAN monitor) will have an impact on newborn health.

University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey 2007 Study documents Widespread Repair of Neonatal Brain Injury from Adult Stem Cells - Neuroscientists at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School have discovered that the neonatal brain possesses a previously unknown capacity to replace damaged neurons in multiple brain regions. Furthermore, their research reveals that the production of these new neurons lasts for at least five months following injury.Levison's study reveals that in addition to neurons acquiring new or different responsibilities, that another adaptive response, one that has not been suspected, occurs. Their data show that large numbers of new neurons are produced from the brain's resident stem cells during their recovery from injury. These findings suggest that these new neurons are further increasing the infant brain's ability to repair itself after injury.

Study Abstract: Based on a qualitative research project guided by grounded theory methodology, this article describes parents' participation in home therapy programs recommended by physical and occupational therapists. The study involved in-depth interviews with 8 parents and 4 therapists of children with cerebral palsy. The parents reported that in the initial stages of adjustment to the diagnosis, they were typically overwhelmed by their situation and unable to participate in providing activities at home for their child

Nonprofit membership organization of basic scientists and physicians who study the brain and nervous system. World's largest organization of scientists devoted to the study of the brain.

Information on ongoing study being sponsored by Medical College of Georgia to test the safety and effectiveness of cord blood infusion in children with motor disabilities due to cerebral palsy.

The Oregon Evidence-based Practice Center (Oregon EPC) conducts systematic reviews of healthcare topics for federal and state agencies and private foundations. These reviews report the evidence from clinical research studies and the quality of the evidence for use by policymakers in decisions on guidelines and coverage issues

Mayo study to evaluate a potential new treatment for epilepsy. Researchers want to learn if the investigational drug called perampanel is safe and can help people with partial seizures who are already taking seizure medications and the current seizure medications are not enough to control those seizures. Perampanel is being tested as a possible add-on drug for people with seizures who are taking other seizure medications.

Mayo study to look for genes that are the cause of epilepsy and to look for genes that have an impact on the effectiveness of over the counter and prescription medicines used to treat epilepsy.

Study being conducted to learn about the effects (both good and bad) of a brain stimulating device known as the External Responsive Neurostimulating System. This is an investigational device that was designed to detect seizure activity and give an electrical stimulation to the brain to try to stop it

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Study Shows Using Bar-Code Technology with eMAR Reduces Medication Administration and Transcription Errors. Press Release, May 5, 2010. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Rockville, MD.

Objective of the study is to describe the change in GerdQ sum scores, after a 4-week period of systematic treatment with PPIs(using GerdQ questionnaire). The secondary objectives are: to measure the response at the current treatment after a 4-week period of systematic treatment and to identify the percentage of patients which require alterations of their treatment (GerdQ questionnaire)"

Completed study comparing the blood drug levels of two prescribed medications, Immediate-release omeprazole 40 mg powder and delayed-release omeprazole 40 mg capsule to determine which drug is better absorbed in patients with a slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis). Delayed-release omeprazole has a protective coating to prevent the drug omeprazole from being neutralized by stomach acid. Immediate-release omeprazole has sodium bicarbonate (antacid) which neutralizes the stomach acid, eliminating the need for a protective coating. Immediate-release omeprazole suspension may have a more rapid pharmacokinetic profile and greater overall drug absorption in gastroparesis.

Completed study assessed the pharmacokinetics and safety of dexlansoprazole, once daily (QD), in pediatric subjects with symptomatic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

Study is to obtain preliminary information about the efficacy and potential adverse effects of platelet concentrate injections in patients undergoing arthroscopic Sub-acromial Decompression (SD), arthroscopic Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint resection, and arthroscopic Rotator Cuff (RC) repair. Investigators wish to determine whether the PRP shows efficacy in healing and learn of possible side-effects
