More than 1.7 billion children worldwide experience violence in their upbringing. Prevalence rates are particularly high in Africa. Toxic stress associated with violence impacts the developing brain. This affects behavioral, social, and emotional functioning of children. The present project will test an intervention that simultaneously aims at reducing violence against children at home and at school. Within the project, (1) the feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness of the Intervention and (2) the initial effectiveness of reducing parental and teacher violence will be tested. To this end, a mixed-methods two-arm school-based pilot cluster-randomized controlled trial (CRCT) in Tanzania will be conducted. One unique and novel aspect of this project is to test a school-based intervention approach that targets both teachers and parents. A school-based approach including both teachers and parents has the following key advantages: (1) parents of different social, economic, and educational backgrounds can be motivated to participate and (2) using the existing infrastructure of schools reduces costs and will later improve the scalability of the program. The project is bringing together the global health, development economy, and psychological perspectives to promote our collaboration within the German global health community and with research and policy partners in Tanzania.
NNC0519-0130 is a new medicine to improve the treatment options for people living with type 2 diabetes and people with overweight. In this study one dose of NNC0519-0130 will be given and blood levels of NNC0519-0130 will be compared between people with reduced kidney function and people with normal kidney function. The study will last up to 52 days including a screening phase of up to 28 days prior to dosing.
This study aims to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different strategies of home-delivered HPV self-sampling, in comparison to the standard of care strategy, to increase adherence to cervical cancer screening. An experimental and population-based study will be implemented at three primary healthcare centers located in the Western Porto region: Cedofeita, Garcia de Orta, and Prelada. Eligible women will be randomized into a control group or an intervention group. The control group will correspond to the standard of care (invitation to screening in a clinical setting). The intervention group will be randomized into two subgroups: 1) a "directly mailed" group that will receive a self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post; 2) an "opt-in" group that will receive an invitation at home asking if they want to receive a self-sampling kit, with a pre-paid envelope to return the answer to this question. Women who answer "yes" will receive the self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post. Self-sampling samples will be subjected to HPV genotyping. In parallel, high-risk HPV positive women will be called in by their family doctors to undergo screening in a clinical setting so that they can continue their clinical follow-up in the conventional pathway.
A pragmatic observational proof-of-concept study which aims to determine the feasibility of a remote titration clinic, assisted by home blood pressure monitoring and digital solutions, and assess its impact on real-world outcomes. By incorporating home blood pressure monitoring, the study seeks to offer a promising solution for personalised drug titration and self-management, potentially enhancing patient outcomes while optimising Zestril utilisation
Prospective, non-pharmacological, single-center, non-profit observational study. The study design allows longitudinal evaluation of the immune response during the natural history of the infection and/or treatment, correlating the data with the outcome of the disease and antiviral therapies, which will be collected as study variables from the source documents. The study population will be patients suffering from chronic HBV infection with or without HBV-HDV co-infection followed at the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology of Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico. The present study is part of an international cooperation project between the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico (Milan, Italy) and the Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, financed by a grant (project MAECI-2023-23683653) and divided into two specific Work Packages: - WP 1 Milan team (WP1.1 - Clinical and virological phenotyping of CHB and CHD patients; WP1.2 - Clinical evaluation of rapid HBV T cell test in CHB and CHD populations) - WP 2 Singapore team (WP2.1 - Applicability of the rapid T cell assay approach; WP 2.2 - Optimization of the rapid T cell assay protocol) The primary objective of the study is to define the prevalence of specific T cell responses in patients with chronic HBV and HBV-HDV infection, through the application of a specific rapid T cell assay.
The researchers are doing this study to find out if HB-202/HB-201 is an effective treatment for people with HPV 16-positive head and neck squamous cell cancer (HPV 16+ HNSCC) who have received standard treatment for their disease but then tested positive for HPV 16-related tumor DNA in the blood through a test called NavDx. Participants will have no evidence of cancer on imaging scans (radiographically) or by medical examination (clinically). Past studies have shown that a positive NavDx test strongly suggests the possible presence of microscopic cancer, though we do not know if testing positive will definitely lead to the cancer coming back (recurrence). The NavDx blood test has not been approved by the FDA and is considered investigational.
The clinical performance of an an alkasite-based restorative material and two different resin composites will be evaluated and compared in non-carious cervical lesions. After recruiting participants with at least three non-carious cervical lesions, all restorations will be placed by a single clinician. Lesions will be divided in three groups: an alkasite-based restorative material (Cention N, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein (CN)), hybrid resin composite (Gradia Direct Anterior, GC, Tokyo, Japan (GD)) and a highly filled flowable resin composite ((G-aenial Universal Flo, GC, Tokyo, Japan (GF)). All restorative procedures will be conducted according to manufacturers' instructions. Restorations will be scored using FDI criteria. Descriptive statistics will be performed using chi-square tests.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an internet-based self-help program reduces burnout in teachers. The study will also evaluate the program's acceptability which means assessing the extent to which users complete the program and find it useful. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program reduce the level of burnout in teachers? - Does the program contribute to an increased sense of meaning for teachers? - How much of the program do teachers finish?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a new smell test works as well as the standard clinical smell test, if there is a link between sense of smell and variations in the retina, and if these results could be used as a way to identify early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether the test is as effective and reliable as the standard test - Whether there is a link between the results of the smell test and the structure of the back of the eye Participants will: - complete a short questionnaire - have pictures of the inside of their eyes taken - perform two smell tests
ELTGOL (Slow Expiration with the Opened Glottis in the Lateral posture) is an airway clearance technique performed in the lateral decubitus position. This technique focuses on optimizing ventilation of the infralateral lung (when the subject is lying in the lateral posture) to enhance local air-liquid interaction. Previous studies on ventilation differences between the infra- and supralateral lungs were conducted on healthy, young, male subjects, without the application of thoracic or abdominal pressure. This study aimed to assess ventilation distribution in right lateral recumbency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as healthy individuals, and investigate the impact of thoracic and abdominal manual pressures during ELTGOL on ventilation distribution.
