The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib as maintenace therapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma With Metastasis after Chemoradiotherapy, including progress free survival(PFS)、overall survival (OS)、Quality of life score (QoL) and evaluation of drug safety.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall feasibility in terms of safety, treatment tolerance and adherence as well as preliminarily address how effective this treatment model using the TPAD and overground training would be to reduce load asymmetry on the treadmill and promote increased stance symmetry on the paretic limb during overground gait.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 12 individuals in the chronic (>6 months) stages post stroke will be recruited from a voluntary stroke research database for participation. DESIGN: A non-randomized pilot study of feasibility will be used to establish the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of using the TPAD in combination with overground training to reduce load force asymmetry in this population. METHODS: Participants will undergo a series of three assessments within a one-week time frame prior to initiating intervention. Intervention using the TPAD and overground training will occur during week 2 over 5 consecutive visits (Mon-Fri). Participants will also complete short walks before and after the intervention with an instrumented system that records individual walking characteristics. Participants will return one-week after completing the intervention for a final test of walking and balance. Each study visit will be approximately 1-1.5 hours in duration, and total participation should be completed within three weeks. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: We anticipate this training paradigm will prove feasible and effective in reducing both load and stance asymmetry in a population of individuals with chronic stroke.
This study tests a culturally tailored lifestyle intervention designed to prevent, or delay onset of, T2DM in Mexican Americans with prediabetes. Half the participants take part in a lifestyle program that emphasizes preparing and eating healthy Mexican American foods and increasing physical activity; the other half take part in an "enhanced" usual care control group.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta(OI) is an inherited disorder characterised by extreme fragility of the bones. Bones often break from little or no apparent cause. Current available medicine can increase bone strength by making bones wider and "filling in" the holes in the bone walls that weaken it. These medicines are bisphosphonates, given either by a drip intravenously (eg pamidronate), or taken by mouth (eg risedronate). Their major action is to prevent bone breakdown by stopping the normal process of removing and then replacing old bone tissue, so in some parts of the bone, new bone formation is actually reduced. Most studies of bisphosphonates in children with OI have shown increased bone mineral density and improved exercise tolerance that could positively affect new bone formation; some have shown reduced fracture rate. Bone is highly responsive to mechanical stimulation. Whole body vibration (WBV) is a form of mechanical stimulation that has been shown to improve bone mineral density in some individuals with narrow bones. Little is known whether bisphosphonates affect the response of the skeleton to mechanical stimulation. We will determine the response to mechanical stimulation in children with OI by looking at bone turnover markers following WBV in those who are and are not treated with bisphosphonates. The results from this study will help us to understand whether skeleton in children with OI is normally responsive to mechanical stimulation, and whether bisphosphonates alter that responsiveness in a way that is either beneficial or not for increasing bone strength.
Background: About 10% of all newborns may have difficulty breathing and require support by trained personnel. In Peru, 90% of deliveries occur in health facilities; however there is not a national neonatal resuscitation and certification program for the public health sector. In addition, the Andes and the Amazon regions concentrate large rural remote areas, which further limit the implementation of training programs and the accomplishment of continuous certification. Neonatal resuscitation training through the use of information, communication and technology (ICT) tools running on a computer, tablet or mobile phone may overcome such limitations. This strategy allows online and offline access to educational resources, paving the way to more frequent and efficient training and certification processes. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a neonatal resuscitation training and certification program that uses a multi-platform ICT (MP-ICT) strategy on neonatal health care in remote areas. Methods: The investigators propose to conduct the study through a cluster-randomized trial, where the study and analysis units are the health care facility. Eligible facilities will include primary and secondary health care level facilities that are located in provinces with neonatal mortality rates higher than 15 per 1,000 live births. The investigators will compare the proportion of newborns with a heart rate ≥100 beats per minute at 2 minutes after birth in health care facilities that receive MP-ICT training and certification implementation, with those that receive conventional training and certification. Discussion: The investigators expect that the intervention show to be more effective than the current standard of care. The investigators are prepared to include it within a national neonatal resuscitation training and certification program to be implemented at national scale together with policymakers and other key stakeholders.
The aim of this study is to determine general practitionners' role in management of women with BRCA1/2 mutation. This study will be conduct between April 2017 and December 2017 at Montpellier University Hospital on women followed-up in the department of genetics and their general practitionners (GP). Patients and their GP will be called by the investigators and questionnaire will be given to them. Questionnaire includes questions for patients and their GP. The primary endpoint was to determine the rate of GP having sufficient knowledge of the adequate management of patients with BRCA1 / 2 mutation. Adequate knowledge includes : systematic search for a family history of cancer, knowing criteria required to refer women in oncogenetic department, and the ability to respond to patients' questions. Secondary endpoint was to determine women' opinion on their GP : whether or not well managed for their BRCA 1 / 2 mutation.
The Social ABCs is an evidence-based, developmentally informed, caregiver-mediated behavioural intervention for toddlers with suspected or confirmed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is based on principles of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT, grounded in Applied Behaviour Analysis), and responsive parenting. The two key targets of this program are functional verbal communication and positive caregiver-child affect sharing. This intervention takes place in the context of play and daily routines, and in all contexts is made to be fun, natural and motivating for the child. In both a pilot study and a recently completed randomized control trial, toddlers whose caregivers received training in the Social ABCs intervention showed significant gains in early language development (both responsivity and initiations), increased child smiling (mediated by parent smiling), and a trend toward increased social orienting (one important manifestation of social attention). Despite the social-communication benefits demonstrated through the Social ABCs, the research team is also motivated to foster the attentional abilities of toddlers with emerging ASD in response to compelling evidence that early attentional control abilities may play a central role in the emergence of ASD. Based on this knowledge, the current study targets not only social-communication challenges and affect sharing (as per the existing Social ABCs intervention), but also attentional control in toddlers with suspected or confirmed ASD. Using a structured, computerized attention-training protocol, this RCT evaluates the impact of supplementing the standard Social ABCs intervention with pre-intervention attentional control training.
After Ethics committee approval investigators decided to enroll 40 patients ASA I-II, 18-60 years of age undergoing maxillofascial, oral and double chin surgery to determine which nostril is more suitable for nasotracheal intubation with nasotracheal Airtraq. We primay aimed to compare the glottis visualization time, intubation time and total intubation times.
Today most fracture prevention measures targets the bone and osteoporosis. However, only about 20% of individuals with fractures have osteoporosis and at least 90% of all fractures are caused by a fall. Therefore, the present project builds on previous findings from our group identifying postural sway as an important risk factor for falls and aims to intervene against this risk factor in a randomized controlled trial targeting subjects at the highest risk for falls.
