It is a cross-sectional, without risk or constraint, monocentric study on the viability of the main bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men who have sex with men (MSM). The main objective is to evaluate the proportion of pharyngeal, urogenital and anal specimens detected positive by nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium that contain viable bacteria in MSM.
The main goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of VR-TRAC (Virtual Reality TRaining for Aggression Control) for reducing aggression in a prison-based population. The study-design is a single-blind randomized controlled trial, comparing VR-TRAC to waiting-list control condition (WL). 128 male detainees with aggression regulation problems in the last month (measured with the Aggression Questionnaire [AQ]) and a minimum age of 18 years, recruited from the Penitentiary Institution (P.I.) Vught, the Netherlands will participate in this study. They are randomly allocated to VR-TRAC or control condition WL. The treatment group fills in questionnaires, participates in role-plays and follows the VR-TRAC. The control group filles in the same questionnaires as the treatment group and also participates in the role-plays, but does not participate in the VR-TRAC. Participants receive Care As Usual (CAU) when necessary. To measure the effect of VR-TRAC on aggression, three different types of measurements are used: staff observation, self-report and performance-based. Self-report questionnaires will be scored on three different moments during the study: before the treatment starts, at the end of the treatment, and two- months after the treatment ended. Throughout the sessions, participants are also asked to answer questions to evaluate the sessions. Lastly, to measure the effectiveness of the skills trained in the VR-TRAC, performance-based assessments (role-play tests and vignettes) will be conducted before and after the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a single SC dose of BxC-I17e in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD)
This clinical trial aims to compare a Mixed Reality Viewer in the preoperative informed consent process to standard fracture visualization. The participants population are patients with an indication for surgery of a distal radius fracture, upper ankle fracture or proximal humerus fracture using plate osteosynthesis. The main questions aim to answer are: - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient understanding? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient satisfaction? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer reduce patient preoperative anxiety? Participants will have their fracture presented via the Mixed Reality Viewer. Researchers will compare standard fracture imaging using X-ray or CT scans to see if there is any difference in understanding, satisfaction and anxiety.
Sarcopenia is a complex multifactorial syndrome which could be present in older age (primary sarcopenia) or earlier in chronic disease (secondary sarcopenia). Evidence of the prevalence and incidence of sarcopenia in chronic pancreatitis is lacking, as well as studies which correlate sarcopenia to evolution of chronic pancreatitis.The main aim of this study is to evaluate whole body composition, sarcopenia, dynamic force tests, laboratory data at different stages of chronic pancreatitis. The accuracy of bioimpedance analysis and muscle ultrasound in the diagnosis of sarcopenia will also be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if iTBS applied to the DMPFC improves social cognitive performance compared to sham stimulation in people diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. The main objectives of this trial are: - Compare changes in social cognitive performance between the active vs. sham treatment groups - Compare changes in social cognitive network functional connectivity between the active vs. sham treatment groups Each participant will receive iTBS (active or sham) five days per week for four consecutive weeks. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans, clinical assessments, and cognitive tests will be performed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6 months after the completion of treatment.
The study focuses on the impact of sarcopenia on acute and late toxicities in head and neck tumor affected patients treated with particle therapy.
Our study will be a prospective observational study of all patients in the Norton Children's Hospital NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) who undergo a transcatheter PDA occlusion or medical closure of PDA to compare the two populations regarding changes in organ perfusion determined by using NIRS monitoring to follow the regional saturation of oxygen (rSO2) of the cerebral and renal regions. We suspect that medical treatment will have no significant change in rSO2 as described in previous literature. We also suspect that transcatheter occlusion will have minimal effects on rSO2 and be comparable to medical therapy.
Brain blood flow will be measured during exercise using magnetic resonance imaging.
The purpose of this study is to use a device to stimulate the prostate with a goal of helping improve symptoms in men with sexual dysfunction.
