Multiple Myeloma is an incurable cancer. Therapies for it include oral chemotherapy pills. It is unknown whether patients regularly and correctly take these anti-myeloma pills. This study wants to measure the rate of adults with MM taking anti-myeloma pills correctly. The investigators also want to use a teaching tool to see if it will help patients feel more satisfied and more confident in taking their anti-myeloma pills correctly. The investigators hope to use this data from this small study to eventually do a larger study in this area.
This study is a phase I /II adaptive clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and the Immunogenicity of Ad5-nCoV in healthy adults from 18 to <55 and 65 to <85 years of age，with the randomized, observer-blind, dose-escalation design
This study will determine the effectiveness and safety of S-Ketamine in depression patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy.
Regional anaesthesia is the performance of spinal, epidural or peripheral nerve blocks to allow patients to undergo surgery awake and to provide post-operative pain relief. Anaesthetists inject local anaesthetic using specialist needles close to nerves to prevent transmission of pain. Hand-held ultrasound is often used by anaesthetists to direct these needles to the correct position i.e. close to, but not in the nerve itself. If the needle is not adequately seen using the hand-held ultrasound it may pierce the nerve causing permanent nerve damage and significant patient harm. Within the time and resource constraints of postgraduate medical training, it would be advantageous to optimise expertise acquisition of practical skills with a cheap, self-directed educational intervention. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether gaze training is associated with improved performance of an ultrasound-guided needle task. The investigators hypothesise that improved gaze control will translate to better technical performance of an ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia task.
Single-center, observational registry study with a prospective and retrospective arm to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary CLI teams and protocol on amputation rates, vascular studies, revascularization, in-hospital and long-term outcomes.
The use of Cyclodestruction procedures has been extended to patients with non-refractory glaucoma and good vision. Our aim is to compare the safety and efficacy of three cyclodestructive treatments; High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Cyclocoagulation versus micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) versus transscleral continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation (CW-CPC) for the treatment of Primary open angle glaucoma.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and prescription drug use. Research on certain dietary supplements looks promising as a way to help reduce risk factors. Previous studies showed that CoQ10 levels were decreased in cardiovascular patients and worsening of mitochondrial dysfunction was observed. The overall objective of this study is to determine if supplementing with CoQ10 can reduce inflammatory risk factors in adults with cardiac surgery, independent of other dietary or physical activity changes.
Purpose: To investigate the growth and development status for children of 1 ~ 3 years old in China, and to explore and analyze the influencing factors of infant growth. Mother's health status would also be investigated simultaneously. Methods and analysis: This is a multicenter prospective cohort study. Participants were all from the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS), which is a multicenter prospective cohort study we conducted before. In simple terms, pregnant women during the first trimester (5~13 weeks' gestational age) were included from 25 July 2017 to 26 November 2018. Related information were collected by electronic self-administered questionnaire, including general information, environmental exposure assessment, physical activity assessment, dietary and nutritional assessment, depression assessment, sleep quality assessment and economic burden assessment. Subsequently, objective medical information, obstetric and neonatal outcomes were collected through hospital information system (HIS). To further assess the mothers' and infants' health status, a new multicenter prospective cohort study, including more than 1000 participants of the CPWCS from 5 hospitals of 5 different provinces in China, will be conducted. Through the electronic self-administered questionnaire surveys and laboratory testing methods, information about infants' feeding, sleeping, defecating, oral health, early development and common allergic diseases will be collected. And we will also assess mothers' current health habits and status, such as sleeping, diet, anxiety, physical activity, and oral health. SAS statistical software will be used for data analysis. Ethics and Dissemination Permission for the study was obtained from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Review Committee of Department of Scientific Research, School of Basic Medicine, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals or disseminated through conference presentations.
Neonatal jaundice is the most common reason for rehospitalization after postnatal discharge. Jaundice due to breastfeeding failure is an important subtype of pathological neonatal jaundice. Typically, it occurs with lactation failure, which results in dehydration (reducing urine output), significant weight loss (>10% of birth weight) and sometimes hypernatremia, during the first postnatal week. Jaundice caused by breastfeeding failure is observed in one third (31.8%) of total cases of pathological neonatal jaundice requiring rehospitalization. Jaundice lasts for an average of 6.8 days and the length of hospital stay takes up to 3 days. Jaundice due to breastfeeding failure requires focused efforts for a program structured with breastfeeding education and special breastfeeding support. This support causes the role of nurses to become even more important. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of support provided for breastfeeding and the feeding of infants' with breast milk on hospitalization due to jaundice. Research Hypotheses: H0: The support provided for breastfeeding and the feeding of infants' with breast milk has no effect on hospitalization due to jaundice. H1: The support provided for breastfeeding and the feeding of infants' with breast milk affects the consequences of hospitalization due to jaundice.
Patients hospitalized at the rehabilitation department at the hospital will fill a questionnaire regarding dizziness and ear diseases, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and then will be examined by an ENT physician, followed by a video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) study.
