Overall the study investigates organ crosstalk during exercise. More specifically, the study investigates the role of IL-6 in regulating glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid kinetics at whole body level and in skeletal muscle, liver, and brain. Furthermore, the study investigates the uptake and release of extracellular vesicles in skeletal muscle, liver, and brain in reponse to exercise.
The objective of this study is to prospectively compare decongestive therapy administered by the Reprieve DMS system to Optimal Diuretic Therapy (ODT) in the treatment of patients diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The main objective is to determine if the Reprieve DMS is non-inferior to state-of-the-art urine sodium guided aggressive diuretic titration in two European HF centers of excellence.
Studies in the literature are limited both throughout Turkey and in general. For this reason, as a result of the study that we will create, it will provide us with information for bladder protective treatments in patients who do not respond to BCG therapy in bladder cancer patients.
The hypothesis of this study is that the physiologic effects of these (PEP/ HFOO) resources may have positive effects in this population of children with acute respiratory illness. Thinking about this physical and physiological issue and due to the absence of a study that has evaluated the effectiveness of these instruments in patients with pneumonia, the objective of this study is to evaluate the short-term effects OOAF and mask of EPAP in children hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia.
Reverse total shoulder replacement surgery (RTSA) is performed for individuals with advanced arthritis of the shoulder who also have tears in their rotator cuff muscles. A metal hemisphere is placed in the shoulder blade, and a plastic cup on a stem is placed in the upper arm. This orientation is opposite to the normal anatomy, giving rise to the term "reverse" shoulder replacement. While RTSA has a good clinical track record, no studies have examined how well fixed the implanted components are within patients.
A new operation technique was established ("reversed gap technique" for implantation of total knee arthroplasties. Based on the encouraging results of a pilot study, the clinical outcome shall be evaluated using the conventional "gap technique" as control in a RCT study.
Study Design: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial. Study Population: The study population will be a consecutive series of participants attending the Early Cancer Detection Unit (ECDU) at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. 80 women who are scheduled to undergo a hysteroscopic myomectomy will be included and will be randomized into two groups: Group A: women will undergo a hysteroscopic myomectomy with the use of (TXA) Kapron in the distention medium Group B: women will undergo hysteroscopic myomectomy with the use of placebo(normal saline in the distention medium). Randomization will be performed using a Computer-generated randomization system. The allocated groups will be concealed in serially-numbered sealed opaque envelopes that will only be opened after recruitment. Patient allocation will be performed prior to the induction of anesthesia by an independent person, who will not otherwise be involved in this study. The trial will be appropriately blinded; the participants, outcome assessors and the surgeon performing the procedure will be blinded to the medication type, which will be used inside the distention medium. Therefore, this study will be a randomized double blind prospective clinical Methodology: 1. Informed written consent obtained from the participant. 2. History 1. Personal history 2. Menstrual history 3. Detailed obstetric history 4. Surgical intervention especially uterine surgeries and any post-operative complication 5. History of drug intake, especially hormonal treatment or anticoagulant therapy. 3. Routine preoperative investigations in addition to a serum pregnancy test if pregnancy is suspected. 4. Physical examination including general, abdominal and pelvic examination. 5. Hysteroscopy will be performed in the early proliferative phase using normal saline as a distention medium. 6. Only in intervention group (TXA group) KAPRON (Tranexamic acid) will be added to the injected media. - In intervention group 500 mg of Kapron for every 500 ml of distending media will be added. - In the control group, placebo .i.e. ,normal saline in the same form will be injected inside every 500 ml of the distention medium. 7. The trial will be appropriately blinded; the participants, outcome assessors and the surgeon performing the procedure will be blinded to the medication type, which will be used inside the distention medium. Therefore, our study will be a randomized double blind prospective clinical trial. 8. Intraoperative bleeding and quality of view will be observed. 9. A blood sample will be taken from each participant in both groups after 24 hours from the end of the operation for both hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Types of outcome measures: Primary outcome measures: Estimated Blood loss defined as comparing the hematocrit and hemoglobin at base line (preoperative ) and 24 hours after surgery with the Tranexamic acid compared to the control group. Secondary outcome measures: The quality of view, duration of surgery, the volume of injected media, intraoperative complications and the success of the completion of the operation will be secondary outcomes.
Elderly residing in elderly-only households are more vulnerable as they are socially isolated, suffer from poorer health outcomes, and are less likely to adopt health-promoting behaviors. While multi-dimensional preventive home visits provide older adults with the individualized care to cope with living in their homes, group-based education promotes peer learning and allows for social interaction. Elderly residing in elderly-only households can reap the benefits derived from the coaction of preventive home visits and group-based education, providing them with the personalized care to age healthily in their homes and a platform to develop social connectedness with their peers. This study uses the combination of preventive home visit and group-based education program to promote healthy aging in elderly living in elderly-only households. Using a randomized controlled trial, the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week health promotion and risk prevention program, named Salutogenic Healthy Aging Program Embracement (SHAPE) for elderly-only households. Participants in the experimental group will receive 2 home visits, 10-weekly group-based activity sessions and a SHAPE health-promotion booklet. A process evaluation using face-to-face interviews will also be conducted for elderly receiving SHAPE to explore their views on the program. The use of salutogenic model breaks away from the negatively connoted conventional biomedical model and addresses on optimization of positive health. Ultimately, the SHAPE intervention seeks to identify, equip and strengthen resources for elderly-only households, encouraging the adaption of health-promoting and risk-preventing actions to achieve better health outcomes and higher quality of life.
Ischaemic stroke causes significant morbidity and mortality and is a leading cause of disability within an ageing United Kingdom (UK) population. Proximal anterior circulation occlusion is associated with a particularly poor prognosis, but its management has undergone a paradigm shift following clinical introduction of endovascular recanalization, establishing rapid reperfusion of the ischaemic penumbra. Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is highly effective at attenuating cerebral infarction in basic research studies and has the potential to further improve patient outcome if used as an adjunct to invasive revascularisation strategies. We aim to trial remote ischaemic conditioning at the time of revascularisation, and then daily for the duration of the seven-day in-patient stay, compared to a sham conditioning procedure. This pilot, single-centre study will determine efficacy/ tolerability of RIC to reduce cerebral infarction (primary endpoint: determined by brain magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and improve functional status (secondary end-points: National Institutes of Health Stroke Severity (NIHSS); European Quality of Life questionnaire EurQoL), with the data providing the necessary parameters for power calculations and leveraging charitable funding for a subsequent multi-centre study.
This is a controlled preminary trial intended to increase the implantation rate of IVF cycles, by using more than one known procedure, endometrial scratching, evaluating the status of the adhesive factors as αVβ3 integrin, L-selectin ligand MECA-79, E-cadherin and ICAM-1, as a determinant for intervention by G-CSF, according to a score that can be done on a small sample obtained during scratching, then give G-CSF for the scores less than 4 intrauterine and subcutaneously.
