To provide care without exacerbating behavioral and psychological problems and preventing functional decline, a multi-component, cognitive training program was designed. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of this multi-component, cognitive training program in day care centers for elderly people with dementia to prevent cognitive function decline, self-care abilities decline, and behavior problems or the development of depressive moods.
A non-inferiority, open-label, multicentre randomised controlled trial to compare two therapeutic regimens for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital, rectal or pharyngeal gonorrhoea in men and women between 18 and 75 years of age. Patients were enrolled and treated from April 2021 to June 2022 at the Dermatovenerology Department, University Hospital Bulovka, Prague, Czech Republic and the Venereology Prague, Medicentrum Beroun, Prague, Czech Republic.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of metformin on insulin sensitivity and vascular endothelial function with respect to gut microbiota and metabolome in women with established insulin resistance and its tolerance after 12 weeks of probiotic therapy. The hypothesis is probiotic therapy in women with established insulin resistance undergoing metformin treatment increases the drug's efficacy to improve insulin sensitivity and intestinal endothelial function, and reduces gastrointestinal side effects. Study participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, taking a probiotic (GS) or a placebo (GP). The randomization scheme will be computer-generated using permuted blocks of block size 4.
This is an open user study to evaluate D005 vagnial mousse with regards to user-friendliness, and measure time from start of treatment to symptom relief and measure the clarity of instructional material. The study will be conducted at seven sites in Sweden, the study population will consist of up to 100 female subjects.
The goal of this pilot quasi-randomized study is test the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of Yoga for Warriors treatment program for comorbid chronic pain and PTSD, conducted virtually through the Richmond Veterans Affairs Medical Center (RICVAMC). the main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether a virtual intervention for chronic pain and PTSD is feasible and acceptable for veterans. 2. Using a wait-list control group design, to determine preliminary efficacy of the intervention. 3. Examine follow-up data to determine if benefits are maintained over time.
The proposed study will examine the use and effectiveness of a novel strength training device - The S-Press within an NHS environment. The S-Press is a portable exercise device that can be used seated or lying down and specifically targets the knee extensors and flexors. The knee extensors are particularly important in the performance of activities of daily living such as rising from a chair, walking up and down stairs and walking. Resistance training is the most effective strategy to help to reduce muscle wasting in response to ageing or chronic disuse; however as current in-patient settings likely fail to produce an overload stimulus to the muscle for hypertrophy and strength gains, there is a need to develop new interventions and equipment to help deliver this. The S-Press is designed by a Physiotherapist with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving physical function in patients who may be confined to their bed or chair or unable to join in with standard physiotherapy treatments. This mixed methods study will examine the efficacy of the S-Press to improve muscle size using B-Mode Ultrasound and physical function, using sit to stand x5 with use over 6 weeks, alongside the qualitative experience of the use of the S-Press through a one to one semi structured interview.
Maternal infectious morbidity is a common complication of cesarean delivery, especially in a poor recourse setting like ours. This study was done to compare the effectiveness of preoperative vaginal cleansing with immediate postoperative vaginal cleansing with chlorhexidine solution in preventing post-cesarean infectious morbidities. Randomized trial involving 120 consented women who had elective or emergency cesarean sections at term, 60 in each group. Group 1 had preoperative while group 2 had postoperative vaginal cleansing with 1% chlorhexidine.
a prospective comparative study designed to compare the outcomes of transperitoneal Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (T-LUL), mini-percutaneous antegrade ureteroscopy (A-URS) and retrograde ureteroscopy (R-URS) in treating patients with LPUS (15-20 mm). the following parameters were assessed and compared (demographic data and stones characteristics, Stone free rate and complications)
Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is characterized by a constellation of bladder symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, and pelvic pain. Current intravesical IC/PBS treatment strategies include substances injected submucosally such as botulinum toxin A (BoNTA), or installed intravesically such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), resiniferatoxin (RTX), lidocaine, chondroitin sulfate (CS), oxybutynin, and pentosan polysulfate (PPS). Plasma Rich Protein (PRP) is rich in growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor, and transforming growth factor. With the help of these growth factors the defective epithelium can undergo proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declares the Coronavirus disease pandemic 2019. Intensive Care Units deal entirely with patients with pneumonia complicated by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, requiring aggressive respiratory treatments with long periods of connection to mechanical ventilation, sedation and immobilization, contributing to the onset of acquired critical patient muscle weakness (IAPD). IUCD is a frequent complication in intensive care units, with an incidence of 11-67%¹. Of multifactorial cause, immobilization or "bed-rest", the use of corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents have been described as factors directly related to this syndrome. Several studies have shown that mobilization of the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome, even with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is safe, feasible and beneficial for the patient. Bedside cyclo-ergometry has been associated with a reduction in the degree of sarcopenia, contributing to the recovery of the critically ill patient. Several studies document that bed cyclo-ergometry is safe and feasible in critically ill patients within the first week of admission to intensive care, but few clinical trials exist.
