This is a randomized controlled, multicenter study. According to the inclusion criteria, volunteers were recruited from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. After signing the informed consent, the subjects were assigned to the experimental group and the control group through the central randomization system. The researchers will complete the total hip arthroplasty for patients in the experimental group with the assistance of surgical robotic system. The patients in the control group do not use the surgical robotic system. The proportion of acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle in the lewinnek safe area is the primary outcome measurement. The operation time, WOMAC score, Harris score, SF-36 and dislocation rate are the secondary outcome measurements. The incidence of complications, devices and other adverse events were recorded.
The goal of this quality improvement study is to measure the impact of incorporation of a manual rapid fluid infuser (RFI) for intravenous crystalloid infusion in patients with suspected sepsis in the prehospital interval. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the intervention affect the timeliness of fluid administration? - Does the intervention affect CMS sepsis bundle care measure compliance? - Does the intervention affect processes and outcomes of care? - Are there any adverse effects? Researchers will compare this intervention to use of more conventional gravity or pressure-infusion bag crystalloid infusion.
Studies with quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) in people with fibromyalgia showed the existence of distinct patterns of brain electrical activity when compared to healthy individuals. Such dysfunctional patterns may be correlated to clinical symptoms of the syndrome as chronic pain and emotional disorders (depression and anxiety). As chronic pain can be considered a multidimensional symptom, its evaluation should consider beyond others, two main dimensions: the sensitive-discriminative dimension and the affective-motivational dimension. Previous studies have been describing distinct brain areas as neural substrates for processing such dimensions of pain. Thus, the identification of electrophysiological biomarkers (i.e., as qEEG measures) allowing to perform an evaluation between dysfunctional patterns of brain electrical activity and different dimensions of pain seems to be a promising path in the search for a better understanding of the syndrome as well as for more individualized and effective therapeutic approaches. Our objective was to investigate whether dysfunctional patterns of brain electrical activity in frontal and central areas of people with fibromyalgia are differently related to dimensions of pain (sensory-discriminative and affective-motivational) and to emotional disorders (depression and anxiety).
Rehabilitation of anterior endodontically treated teeth with significant coronal damage has been problematic. Adopting endocrown design to treat teeth with this condition is still under investigation. To address this issue, the USPHS criteria were adopted to assess the anterior endocrown restorations manufactured using various ceramic materials and cemented with different protocols.
ParcourSenior is a project lead by School of Mines from Saint-Etienne, Gérontopôle AURA and "Senior Autonomie" to promote walking in a city environment. To enable that, we have two tools at your disposable. The first one is sensor which can measure physicals abilities. The second one is an application which proposes individual itineraries based on physical abilities. This application concern people whom want to walk alone, with supportive people or with new people encounter in this app. Both tools are in the process of being created. The current study focuses on needs, expectations and desire of the elders and professionals about both of these tools. After, we plan to focus on the acceptability of these devices. A qualitative study with focus groups is carried out to evaluate the needs and expectation follows by individual interviews to evaluate the project: acceptability, fears and use's perception.
The study focused on patients with T2-4NxM0 resectable esophageal carcinoma. Neoadjuvant treatment involved administering anlotinib (10 mg orally, once a day, 2 weeks on and 1 week off) for anti-angiogenesis and sintilimab (200 mg) and chemotherapyfor three cycles. Surgical treatment was performed 4-6 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle was completed. The primary endpoints assessed were pathological complete response (pCR) rate and safety.
Breath analysis examining specific patterns of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been demonstrated to be able to discriminate lung cancer (LC) patients from healthy controls (HC). However, the existing technology uses complex, expensive, and low throughput analytical platforms to give an offline response, thus preventing its applicability for mass screening. The reliability of a new portable device to enable rapid, on-site LC diagnosis is tested.
This study evaluates hospitalizations and mortality in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) before and after the implantation of a new COPD treatment plan (replacement of tiotropium soft mist inhaler for glycopyrronium dry powder inhaler) by the Health State Secretariat of Federal District in Brazil.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety following coronary angiography in patients in intensive care. 60 patients who underwent coronary angiography will be randomized and divided into experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. "Personal Data Form", "Pain Visual Analog Scale (Pain-VAS)", "Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (Anxiety-VAS)" and "Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS)" were used to collect data. While participants in the experimental group will be given a problem-solving training program, no intervention will be made to the control group. The data in the control and experimental groups will be distributed homogeneously.
Executive functions, anxiety and their relation to social participation and quality of life among children with Migraine during COVID-19 Backgrounds: Among children, especially adolescents, migraine stands out as one of the most prevalent headache disorders. It is susceptible to stress and has the potential to affect children's emotional and cognitive status and therefore, affect their function, and notably amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Study Objective: To compare executive functions (EF), anxiety, social participation and quality of life (QoL) between children with migraine and healthy controls, and to examine the differences of these factors between children who were infected by COVID-19 and those who were not. Study Population: The research will include 75 children between the ages of 6 and 18 years, diagnosed with Migraine, who are under follow-up at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic in Bnei Zion. A control group of 75 children without chronic diseases, assessed during routine visits at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic or for other reasons, will also be included. Research Methods: Participants will complete questionnaires related to demographic details, quality of life, sleep, and emotional status. Inclusion Criteria: Children between the ages of 6 and 18 years with Migraine. Exclusion Criteria: Children unable or unwilling to complete the questionnaires, and those with secondary headaches or other chronic illness. Informed Consent: Participants aged 11 and older will provide informed consent, while younger children will receive oral explanations, and their paren
