In cohort studies, a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) has been consistently associated with reduced dementia incidence. The efficacy of a MDP to prevent dementia has never been directly demonstrated by RCTs, with existing research limited to cognition as a secondary outcome. Furthermore, despite their likely additive effects, the combined impact of Physical Activity (PA) and a MDP on dementia risk is unknown. MedEx-UK is a RCT that will evaluate the feasibility of a multi-domain intervention to increase Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) adherence and physical activity (PA) in a group of older UK adults who are at above average risk of dementia.
Neck pain, dizziness and headache are common symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The efficacy of cervical spine and vestibular-ocular system impairments intervention need to be determined. In this randomized clinical trial, a 6-week personalized clinical rehabilitation program on subacute mTBI will be compare to a conventional approach. The rehabilitation program will include cervical spine exercise combined with manual therapy as well as vestibular-ocular rehabilitation. Overall symptoms will be measured by the Post-Concussion Symptoms Scale (PCSS). Disability and symptoms severity related with neck pain, headache and dizziness will also be evaluated after the treatment period and at 6-week post-treatment.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are one of the greatest causes of death to mothers and babies. These disorders affect 1 out of every 10 pregnancies, the rate is increasing in the United States, and rate of recurrence is as high as 50%. Treatments to prevent hypertensive disorders of pregnancy from happening in future pregnancies are limited. There are currently no effective interventions to prevent hypertension recurrence in pregnancy that do not involve medications. Mindfulness interventions hold great potential as a medication-free approach to prevent the recurrence of hypertension in pregnant women with histories of hypertensive disorders. However, traditional group-based mindfulness training interventions, requiring 2.5 hours of class attendance for 8 weeks plus a full-day retreat, are very difficult for pregnant women with medical conditions to attend. The goal of the current study is to determine if phone-delivered mindfulness training is an acceptable intervention among pregnant women with histories of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. 20 pregnant women with histories of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy will be randomly picked to participate in an 8-week phone-delivered mindfulness training intervention (N=10) or usual care (N=10). All women will undergo blood pressure monitoring before and after the intervention. The investigators predict that phone-delivered mindfulness training will reduce risk for hypertension recurrence.
The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of cannabis on the analgesic and abuse-liability effects of a sub-threshold dose of a commonly used analgesic.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if a health coaching intervention that includes exercise, good dietary habits, and good relaxation methods helps overweight men improve health and lose weight. The investigator's hope is to enroll 30 men in this research study.
Haemorrhagic stroke, an emergency caused by bleeding in the brain, often leads to death or long-term disability. A quarter of these patients are taking blood-thinning drugs (antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin) because they are at risk of a heart attack or ischaemic stroke. Patients taking these drugs are more likely to die or be disabled if they have a haemorrhagic stroke. At present, there is no effective treatment for reversing their effects. Desmopressin is a drug which may reverse the effects of antiplatelet drugs and stop bleeding. The investigators would like to run a large randomised trial to see if Desmopressin can reduce the number of people who die or are disabled after haemorrhagic stroke.
Hypothermia on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is common. The investigators propose that rewarming hypothermic (≤ 35 C) patients admitted to the intensive care unit following procedures using CPB with heated humidified breathing circuits (HHBC) in addition to conventional forced air warming blankets will shorten time to normothermia. Secondarily it may shorten time to extubation, improve coagulopathy, and metabolic derangements seen with hypothermia.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of measuring beat-by-beat diastolic blood pressure from a non-invasive, cuffless and non-obtrusive watch-like optical device worn at the wrist.
The investigators aim to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a pre-meal snack to reduce the postprandial glycemia (PPG) excursion after a breakfast consumption in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The investigators also want to investigate the impact of a postprandial exercise to reduce the PPG excursion. An improvement in PPG excursions can improve the condition of CF patients primarily by delaying the onset of cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) and / or by reducing the risk of lung function loss.
After semirigid or flexible ureteroscopy operations where a DJ stent was placed, there is diversity in practice of placing a urethral catheter. The presence of vesico-ureteral reflux due to DJ stents has been proven to exist and can cause flank pain and UTI due to retrograde urine flow. The main purpose to place a urethral catheter is to keep a low-pressure bladder in order to prevent reflux alongside the DJ stent. However, this practice doesn't have an evidence-based support on the literature and some surgeons also advice patients to void frequently in the early postoperative period to avoid these aforementioned complications. The purpose of this study is to compare the 2 different approaches after ureteroscopy and DJ stent placement by evaluating the patient-reported outcomes along with laboratory tests.
