Poor adherence and self-management in children with asthma results in poorly controlled asthma and increased morbidity. Pharmacists could take important roles in delivering asthma education to ensure that children can manage their disease. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of improving asthma control, knowledge, and quality of life. An open, randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacist-led digital-based asthma self-management education for children with asthma compared with paper-based asthma self-management education. Recruitment of the participants will be held at the outpatient ward of the Department of Paediatrics in 4 public hospitals in Bali Province, Indonesia, including Sanglah Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Wangaya Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Mangusada Public Hospital, Badung Regency; and Udayana University Hospital, Badung Regency. Participants will be provided with informed consent, then randomly divided into either a control group or an intervention group. The following will be the hypotheses of the study: 1. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better asthma control compared to the control group. 2. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a greater improvement in asthma quality of life compared to the control group. 3. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better understanding of asthma knowledge in general compared to the control group. 4. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better performance in practicing inhaler techniques compared to the control group. 5. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has fewer unscheduled visits to the hospital and less hospitalization compared to the control group. 6. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program will be satisfied with the digital asthma education.
To evaluate the effect of the low power density 940nm diode laser in the total relief of dental crowding during the alignment phase and the perception of pain in patients who initiate orthodontic treatment.
RCC represents around 3% of all cancers, with the highest incidence occurring in Western countries . Within the several RCC risk factors identified, smoking, obesity, and hypertension are most strongly associated with RCC . The EUA guidelines recommend PN for patients with T1 tumors, as PN preserved kidney function better after surgery, thereby potentially lowering the risk of development of cardiovascular disorders as well as improving overall survival(OS) for PN compared to RN, there is very limited evidence on the optimal surgical treatment for patients with larger renal masses (T2) . Currently, the upper limit of PN indications remains undefined and is determined by an individual surgeon's expertise and preference. The degree of variability in the choice between PN and RN for a given tumor increases with tumor size. Surgeons committed to nephron-sparing are likely to expand the indications of PN, while those concerned with increased morbidity and doubtful of the clinical relevance of a moderate decrease in renal function are likely to perform RN, regardless of tumor size .

Objectives: The study subjects were 180 healthy people from the dermatology clinic of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and the surroundingcommunity, including 120 AD patients (60 in the ICBT treatment group and 60 in the control group) and 60 healthy controls. Methodology: After obtaining the informed consent of the subjects, the general condition and clinical symptoms of the subjects were assessed, the cognitive and psychological characteristics of the subjects who met the inclusion were assessed, multimodality MRI was scanned and blood and saliva samples were collected. The same assessments and data collection were performed with healthy controls matched for age, sex, and years of education in the AD patient group. AD patients were randomly assigned to the ICBT intervention group (n = 60) by a random number table and immediately started ICBT adjuvant therapy, or the control group (n = 60) for conventional therapy. Clinical symptoms and cognitive psychological characteristics of AD patients were assessed at the end of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 months and 12 months of ICBT treatment, and cognitive behavioral task measurements, multimodality magnetic resonance scans, blood and saliva samples will be performed again at the follow-up time point at the end of 6 months. Healthy controls (60) will also undergo a full set of follow-up assessments again after 6 months.
The maintenance of the deciduous tooth until its physiological exfoliation occurs is one of the main objectives of pediatric dentistry. Endodontic treatment in deciduous teeth resulting from carious or traumatic lesions with pulpal involvement is often necessary and we often find it difficult to perform it, due to the difficult control of the child, the internal anatomy of the root canals, and root resorptions. The non-instrumental endodontic treatment technique (TENI) associated with antimicrobial drugs has advantages such as shorter chair time and less complexity than the conventional technique in which root canal instrumentation is performed. The objective of this study is to carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of non-instrumental endodontic treatment (NIET) in primary teeth associated with the use of two filling pastes. 120 necrotic deciduous teeth of children aged between 3 and 6 years will be selected; and the teeth will be divided into two groups. In Group 1 and Group 2, the root canals will not be instrumented, just irrigated and filled with the respective pastes, CTZ and Guedes-Pinto. The radiographic aspects will be evaluated, considering the repair process, clinically will be evaluated: presence of fistula and mobility, the evaluations will be carried out in both groups on the day of treatment and in periods of 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The data obtained will be submitted to the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, where the statistical analysis that will be used for this study will be defined, adopting a significance level of 95% (p<0.05).
The goal of this clinical trial participant population is to evaluate the effect of add on Aripiprazole in reducing the metabolic parameters in patients of TRS on Clozapine with metabolic syndrome. The cardiovascular risk would be measured by calculating the change in QRISK3(QRISK3 is an algorithm tool used to calculate cardiovascular risk. The software calculates the risk score using various parameters. It is a name not an abbreviation.) score and the metabolic parameters by change in Low density lipoprotein(LDL)/High-density lipoprotein(HDL) ratio, High sensitive C Reactive Protein (hs CRP), Insulin resistance (HOMA IR) and fasting plasma glucose level. The main question is to find out the change in cardiovascular risk score between the study groups in TRS on Clozapine with metabolic syndrome. It aims to answer the change in cardiovascular risk in terms of change in QRISK 3 score. - Participants will be assessed for cardiovascular risk using QRISK 3 and entering the entering information like age, height, BMI, weight, Lipid profile, past history of angina, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Migraine etc in the QRISK 3 algorithm. - Subsequently they will be assessed using rating scales like Positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) and Clinical Global Improvement (CGI) for positive and negative symptoms and clinical global improvement respectively. - They will be randomized into 2 groups and one group will receive treatment as usual while the other group will receive Aripiprazole 10 mg/day along with treatment as usual. - They will be reassessed at 3 time points like baseline, at 3 months and 6 months. - Blood sample will be collected for hs CRP, lipid profile, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) at the baseline and after 6 months. Researchers will compare both the groups to see if augmentation with Aripiprazole will reduce the metabolic risk or not.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy mediated by Erythrosine and blue LED in the reduction of bacteria in dental biofilm. This clinical trial will be carried out with 30 patients who have biofilm, but without the presence of periodontal pockets, and who are being treated at the Dental Clinic of Universidade Metropolitana de Santos. A split-mouth model will be used (n = 30), with group I control - conventional treatment and group II - conventional treatment and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). The bicarbonate jet will be used to remove dental biofilm in both groups. The treatment will be carried out in 1 session. aPDT will be performed before cleaning/prophylaxis, only in group II. Participants will rinse with the photosensitizer erythrosine (diluted to 1mM) for 1 min of pre-irradiation time, so that the drug can stain all the bacterial biofilm. Then, the D-2000 LED (DMC) will be applied, emitting at a wavelength of ʎ = 430-490 nm and 900-1100 mW/cm2. Irradiation will be performed until the biofilm of the cervical region is illuminated for 2 min per point. Each irradiation point will be approximately 0.4 cm2. The microbiological examination will be performed from samples of supragingival biofilm collected from the gingival sulcus. Two collections will be performed in each experimental site before irradiation, and immediately after the irradiation procedure (group II) or prophylaxis (groups I and II). Biofilm samples will be collected before and after exposure, respectively, and sent to the microbiological laboratory for colony counting. After this period, the CFU's will be counted and the data will be submitted to statistical analysis for comparison of pre and post-treatment results and between groups (conventional X aPDT).
