"De Oorzaak" is a large-scale citizen science project aiming to assess the impact of environmental sounds on the quality of life. This particular study is a part of a broader citizen science research project "De Oorzaak", which focuses on mapping the effects of ambient noise with high resolution and on a large scale across Flanders. The specific goal of the underlying sub study is to expand our current knowledge of how ambient noise affects sleep quality and stress.
The EAT Study showed a reduction in both sensitisation (to all foods) and clinical food allergy (to peanut and egg) among children who consumed allergenic food early compared with those who followed standard government feeding advice to exclusively consume breast milk for the first 6 months of life. The EAT-On Study aims to establish whether the effects seen at 3 years in the EAT study represent a delay in FA onset or sustained tolerance. EAT-On will also investigate the natural history (emergence and resolution) of FA in childhood; thus shaping dietary and management plans for allergic patients. Findings will inform future research and weaning recommendations for preventing FA.
The treatment of resistant depression should be optimized aiming at complete remission of symptoms, a complex condition due to several factors. Approximately 1/3 of patients with depressive disorders do not even respond to available antidepressants. Consequently, new molecules with robust action, fast effects and sustained improvement are currently being researched worldwide. Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has emerged as a promising alternative due to its involvement in neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and consequent rapid improvement of depressive and suicidal symptoms with traditional intravenous (IV) use in sub dose (0.5 mg / kg). The therapeutic response of IV use has been short and requires monitoring in a hospital setting. There are no studies evaluating response to long-term ketamine use. Recent research has focused on identifying other routes of ketamine use such as intranasal and intramuscular (IM). The use of ketamine IM, despite the fact that there are few studies and small samples, can demonstrate efficacy in acute treatment and maintenance of depression, as well as low profile of side effects, greater accessibility potential, reduced costs and risks, patient comfort and possible expansion of resistant depression treatment capabilities in different settings.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involving the colon is a known risk for colon cancer. There are two standards-of-care colonoscopy techniques used for screening all patients who suffer from IBD for more than eight years. One method is to obtain random biopsies throughout the colon and the other is by using dye spraying chromo-colonoscopy. This trial aims to study the difference between the two colonoscopy techniques during the era of high definition camera in detecting neoplastic lesions during screening patients with long-standing IBD.
This is a phase I/Ib study of adoptively transferred T-cell receptor gene-engineered T cells (TCR-T) targeting tumor-specific antigens, with in vivo CD40 activation and PD-1 blockade, for patients with incurable cancers. The study design is a safety lead-in TCR-T with CD40/PD-1 (3+3), followed by Simon's Two-Stage expansion design, 80% power and 5% one-sided alpha: stage-one futility assessment at n = 10; stage-two assessment at n = 22, (accrual up to 24 to allow for potential study drop-out).
The purpose of the study is to compare a text message-based mental health and substance use screening and referral to a treatment program, called Listening to Women and Pregnant and Postpartum People (LTWP), to standard of care in-person mental health and substance use screening to look at rates of treatment attendance and retention in treatment. Participation would involve completing online questionnaires. You may be eligible to participate if you are age 18-45 years, are pregnant and entering prenatal care in one of MUSC's OB clinics, and attended a prenatal appointment at an MUSC clinic.
The goal of this study is to investigate the microbiome composition of the nares, non-lesional skin and patches, plaques and tumours in lesional skin of CTCL patients, including all stages of the disease, and to correlate microbiome (including S. aureus presence) and disease severity from CTCL patients.
Measure the incidence of the maxillary sinus membrane perforation during the Osseodensification crestal sinus grafting procedure.
The inequity in cessation resources is at forefront in the recently enacted nationwide smoking ban in public housing facilities. The critical component lacking from the federal decree was a practical smoking cessation strategy to address the real-world needs of active smokers who maintain cigarette usage. The investigator's proposal is ideally situated for this contemporary moment when low-income smokers in public housing are signing leases describing the potential for smoking-related evictions and thus at least contemplating smoking modification. The investigator's project is centered around the residents of Baltimore City Public Housing which is among the larger-sized U.S. public housing agencies. Using a human-centered design (HCD) approach, the investigators are refining and testing a community-centric cessation strategy defined by two core elements: a) durable and jointly linked community/hospital infrastructure systems (remote cessation specialist staffing and drug supplies) and strong on-site (public housing) residential leadership commitment to cessation improvement. These dual features, along with adaptable elements that can be modified to a variety of local/national housing settings, defines how the investigator's project will overcome the implementation gaps defining failed smoking cessation efforts in lower-income settings. The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of the intervention package among local housing contextual factors that could impact both the acceptability and adoptability of the investigator's project. Using a collection of formative and implementation evaluation measures, the investigator's academic-community partnership project is well positioned to create an adaptable and customizable intervention that can be scaled in similar housing populations.
This is a single center, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial (pRCT) examining whether reporting the results of a negative rapid PCR back to the provider via a pager alert results in decreased vancomycin utilization for critically ill adults with community-acquired pneumonia when compared with usual care.
