The aim of the study was to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of spa therapy on quality of life and pain in patients aged 65 years and older with osteoarthritis. 70 patients with osteoarthritis referred to spa treatment in south-eastern Poland were enrolled in the study. Spa treatment lasted 3 weeks. All the patients benefited from spa therapy. VAS pain scale, the Laitinen scale and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were used to assess the condition of the patients. The examinations were performed three times: at the beginning of the spa treatment, after three months and one year after the first examinations.
This is a phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose of carbon ion radiotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced, unresectable, pancreatic cancer.
Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) present limited performance of functional activities and activities of daily life. Kinesio taping has been definied as a promising technique for children with CP ans has been extensively used in clinical practice. However, several studies have found a low level of evidence of its effectiveness in healthy individuals. We aim to evaluate the effects of the immediate application of Kinesio taping on the activation of the rectus femoris and anterior tibialis muscles and on the duration of sit-to-stand movement in children with CP.
The objective of this clinical study is to assess the irritation and sensitisation potential of HAT1 topical products after repeated patch applications to healthy human participants by following conventional Repeated Insult (HRIPT), Cumulative Irritation (CIT), and Phototoxicity (PT) methodologies under the supervision of dermatologists.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on first molars banded for fixed orthodontic treatment.
This is an observational chart review of all patients with confirmed and probable diagnosis of mucormycosis at 19 centers across Indian hospital. Data will collect using a standardized CRF. All collected data will be entered into a database prior to analysis. Broadly data will be collected on demography, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome for each patient. Patient will continue to receive treatment as per treating physicians advise. Primary outcome for this study will be overall survival at 45 & 90 days.
Aim: To test the hypothesis that fluid adherence in patients on hemodialysis can be improved through nurses´ solution-focused communication with patients on issues of adherence. Design: Single-group quasi-experimental study. Method: A one-month baseline of inter-dialytic weight gain was taken for a group of 36 adult patients in a hospital hemodialysis unit. Then, the nurses of the unit received an 5-hour training in solution-focused communication on issues of fluid adherence and applied it with the patients of the sample. Inter-dialytic weight gains (IDWG) were measured during another month. Six months after the training, IDWG was again measured during one month.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of clinical discomfort and the issues experienced by patients and to use a software image program to compare wound healing during the 2-week period following gingivectomy performed with different techniques.
To evaluate long-term intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) following cataract surgery using Visante anterior segment OCT and iTrace Visual Function Analyzer.
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic (DHA) arachidonic acid (AA) are major building blocks for the lipid bilayer of neuronal and retinal membranes and play a crucial role in brain and visual development. Humans lack enzymes synthetizing DHA and AA precursors and thus rely upon dietary sources to achieve adequate intakes. Human milk (HM) feeding, either own mother's milk (OMM) or donor milk (DM), is the first nutritional choice for preterm infants and provides appropriate LCPUFAs amounts to support neurological and visual development of this fragile population. Due to their immaturity, preterm infants are often unable to coordinate sucking and swallowing, thus requiring tube feeding (TF) for prolonged time periods. During TF, fatty acids tend to separate from aqueous milk components and to adhere to the infusion set, thus reducing the delivery of HM lipid contents. To dare, however, a targeted evaluation of TF-related LCPUFAs losses has not been performed. This study aims to quantitatively assess, by means of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, the effect of bolus and different continuous feeding methods routinely adopted for preterm infants' enteral nutrition on the delivery of DHA and AA contained in human milk samples.
