LUCAX01 is a cohort study with patients with advanced NSCLC in tobacco users. in this study, patients will be submitted to baseline physical tests, blood and biopsy sample collection, and the main objective is to study the functional and prognostic implications of cachexia and to validate skeletal muscle dysfunction markers.
The study seeks to provide group tobacco cessation interventions among patients who use tobacco, and who attend Mathari National referral hospital on outpatient follow up. They will also be assessed on changes in quality of life before and after provision of the intervention.
This is a randomized, double blind, cross-over study designed to determine the concentration of airborne cat allergen inducing bronchial response in asthmatic subjects allergic to cat, during allergen exposures in the Alyatec environmental exposure chamber (EEC). The study was also designed to validate the specificity of the asthmatic reaction induced by exposure to airborne cat allergen in Alyatec EEC.
This project tests the feasibility and preliminary proof of concept for a mindfulness-enhanced adaptation of Pivotal Response Treatment on parenting stress and child communication, using a randomized controlled design.
The goal of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Dorzotimol eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by JADRAN-GALENSKI LABORATORIJ d.d. (Croatia) aimed at lowering elevated IOP in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) versus Cosopt® eye drops, 20 mg/mL + 5 mg/mL manufactured by Laboratoires Merck Sharp & Dohme-Chibret, France. The main questions it aims to answer are: - if the efficacy of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal; - if the safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma is equal. A total of 110 participants were screened and randomized 1:1 to the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group or the reference drug (Cosopt) group. 55 patients were recruited in each group. Researchers compared the investigational drug (Dorzotimol) group with the reference drug (Cosopt) group to see if the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug and the reference drug in patients with ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma are equal.
This study aimed to determine the effects of different manual mobilization techniques on pain, muscle strength, and functional limitations in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (Knee OA). A double-blinded pretest-posttest experimental study. This research employed a two-arm parallel group randomized comparative design. A total of thirty participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned and equally divided into groups 1 and 2, each containing 15 participants. Both Group 1 and Group 2 underwent Maitland and Mulligan mobilization techniques, alongside a common Interferential therapy (IFT) regimen, over the course of three sessions per week for a duration of four weeks. The assessment of pain and functional disability outcomes was conducted through the application of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores at the baseline and four weeks following the intervention. To determine the effects of the intervention within and between the groups, the outcome scores were subjected to analysis using both dependent and independent t-tests.
The proposed study will test the effectiveness of the Strong Families, Thriving Children "Sugira Muryango" program as delivered by community based workers and aligned with the Rwandan social protection system. Sugira Muryango is a preventive, family-based model that uses home visiting and coaching to encourage responsive parent-child interactions and discourage violence and harsh punishment targeting families living in extreme poverty. Integration of scalable, cost-effective interventions into poverty-reduction and other social welfare programs has great potential as an effective means to promote child development and reduce familial violence and in a range of culturally diverse, low-resource settings.
The modified-Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (mEEN) is an open label randomized controlled trial in mild to severe Crohn's Disease patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether induction of remission and maintenance of remission can be achieved with a new dietary strategy that involves only 2 weeks of Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) with Modulen and 12 weeks of an exclusion diet involving selected table foods. This novel approach will be compared to the gold standard dietary regime involving 8 weeks of EEN.
A multicentre two-group parallel single-blind (outcome assessor) randomized controlled trial (RCT). A cost effectiveness study alongside a clinical trial using a payer and societal perspective to study the cost-effectiveness of geriatric assessment and management compared to usual care will be conducted. Participants allocated to the control group will receive usual oncology care. Participants allocated to the intervention group will receive a comprehensive geriatric assessment and management in addition to their usual oncology care. The intervention will take 6 months to be completed. Total study follow-up will be 12 months for each participant.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder, characterized by the presence of more than 10 % of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Therapeutic intervention is recommended when at least one of the myeloma defining events occurs (CRAB features). Renal impairment (RI) is one of the most common complications of MM, accounting for 20-30 % of MM patients at diagnosis and 40-50% of patients during the course of their disease. To date, there is no defined consensus for the management of myeloma patients with renal failure. It is then of clinical importance to better considering available therapeutic options to improve responses and survival of these patients.
