This study is a randomized, prospective, comparative study of the effectiveness of prophylactic entecavir treatment for HBV reactivation in past HBV infected patients (HBsAg-, HBcIgG+) with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
This study intends to combining wearable technology to crate Internet+Digital Hospital-remote Home Type 2 Diabetes follow-up management mode.To preliminarily explore compared with the traditional medical treatment mode, whether the new management mode of DM can improve the management objectives and patient satisfaction of T2DM and reduce medical costs. The study provides a powerful reference for establishing corresponding platforms and promoting such models at the government management level in the future.
The goal of this observational study is to compare outcomes of robot-assisted kidney transplantation and open kidney transplantation. The main questions are - comprehensively analyze our early experience of robot-assisted kidney transplant patients and compare the results with those of open kidney transplant patients
The goal of this observational study is to compare the effects of air pollution exposure and nutrition between neighborhoods with high and low social vulnerability scores. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does living in a neighborhood with high or low vulnerability influence the response of the heart, lungs, and immune system to air pollution. - Does nutritional status alter the association between air pollution exposure and changes in the heart, lungs, and immune system. Participants (age 25-70 years) that live in neighborhoods ranked high or low on the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) will take part in 3 visits. Each visit involves the following: - Measurements of heart activity, lung function, and blood to measure changes that may be caused by air pollution. - Questionnaires about the types of food eaten and activities that may modify exposure to air pollution. - Estimation of air pollution exposure using a study iPhone. Participants will carry a study iPhone with them for 24 hours at each visit. The study iPhone runs an application (app) that estimates the amount of air pollution each participant is exposed to. - Wearing silicone wristbands for a week before each study visit. Silicone wristbands absorb air pollutants and are later measured see the types and amounts of chemicals participants are exposed to.
Liposomal bupivacaine or Exparel (Pacira Biosciences) is a long-lasting nonopioid analgesic that was initially utilized as an infiltrative agent but has more recently become U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in interscalene brachial plexus nerve blockade as well as infiltrative blockade. Delivery in this form is reported to provide up to 72 hours of extended-release bupivacaine. Exparel's use as a regional anesthetic has also become increasingly common and has shown promise when utilized in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
To compare the effect of M-TAPA block and port-site local anesthetic infiltration on postoperative pain in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomies. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is M-TAPA block more effective in reducing pain? - How M-TAPA block affects the use of rescue analgesics in the postoperative period? Participants will have the same anaesthetic agents during surgery, before extubation they will have same analgesic agent for postoperative pain. Participants in the M-TAPA group will undergo USG-guided M-TAPA block bilaterally with % 0.025 Bupivacaine max dose of 2 mg/kg by the same experienced anesthesiologist before extubation. Participants in the LAI group will be administered 0.025% Bupivacaine at a maximum dose of 2mg/kg divided equally and administered by the surgeon at 3 port entry sites before the patient is extubated.
To investigate the effect of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate.
Numerous studies show that regular physical activity / exercise significantly improves exercise tolerance as well as clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exercise as a reliable adjunctive intervention, however, remains limited due to poor short- as well as long-term adherence. The study examines the effectiveness of the peer-led Heart Exercise And Resistance Training - Peer Lead ActivitY (HEART-PLAY) intervention to significantly sustain exercise adherence among CR patients, as compared a standard CR intervention. In a rigorous cluster randomized controlled trial at the UCSD Step Family Cardiovascular Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, the study assesses the HEART-PLAY intervention program in 264 socioeconomically and ethnically diverse women and men 18+ years old who have been referred to standard CR. Participants in the HEART-PLAY and in the STANDARD CR programs will both participate in 36 sessions of CR across approximately 12 weeks, as prescribed by their physician. Participants in HEART-PLAY will additionally receive peer and staff leadership, self-monitoring tools and feedback, group education and materials, and motivational, goal-setting, and relapse prevention counseling sessions. The study will demonstrate that the peer-led HEART-PLAY program based in the clinic setting will significantly enhance the primary study endpoint of adherence to 150 min/week of moderate physical activity/week.
In this study, the researchers will utilize information gained from patient interviews about their knowledge of the cervical cancer screening and treatment process, and perceived barriers surrounding appropriate follow up, to create content for the intervention.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluation the ability of 5-aminolevulinic acid HCL topical solution photodynamic therapy to decrease the colonization of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes- a bacteria commonly found in the dermis of the skin surrounding the shoulder) in order to decrease postoperative joint infections. -Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring metabolite in the synthesis of pathway of cellular heme production. Adding ALA to bacteria encourages porphyrin production which serve as the immediate precursors to heme production. When these porphyrins are illuminated with blue light at an emission peak of 407-420nm, these metabolites become exothermic and cause internal destruction of the bacterial cells. This therapy does not cause any damage to the mammalian cells, which makes PDT safe for human skin treatment.
