Filter by:The DCB-ACS trial is a prospective, multi-center, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trail. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon(DCB) in de novo lesions for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) .
The purpose of the study is to assess the supportive care needs of patients enrolled in a therapeutic trial for metastatic cancer.
Recently, a lot of side effects have been identified from the perioperative use of opioids. To remedy this, anesthesia research has recently focused on providing safe general anesthesia without opioids in a new concept or anesthetic technic called Opiod Free Anesthesia (OFA). Evidence on the effectiveness and safety of OFA is scarce in Africa, with no report from Cameroon.The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of an adapted OFA protocol as well as its efficacy and safety in very painful surgeries like gynaecology surgery in a low-resource setting.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of intensive cholesterol-lowering therapy (including evolocumab), drug treatment for high-risk plaques (Vulnerable plaques) with a high probability of developing acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the change in the Lipid core burden index and compare the rate of cardiac events over 12 months following cholesterol therapy.
The objective of the GOREISAN-HF trial is to assess the effect of the administration of Goreisan (TJ-17) plus standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone on the improvement rate of cardiac edema and clinical outcomes in worsening congestive heart failure with volume overload.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of microsurgical and macrosurgical approaches on CPFs plus SCTGs for the treatment of localized gingival recession defects (Miller class I or II) over the course of 6 months based on clinical periodontal parameters, periodontal phenotypes, and the postoperative complaints and satisfaction levels of the patients. We hypothesized that root coverage achieved through microsurgery in Miller I or II gingival recessions would improve clinical periodontal outcomes and the periodontal phenotype, with greater postoperative comfort and aesthetic satisfaction in comparison with conventional macrosurgical techniques. Miller Class I and II gingival recession defects, at least 3.0 mm deep, were selected and randomly assigned to receive micro or macrosurgical techniques. Both techniques were performed using a coronally positioned flap with a subepithelial connective tissue graft. Plaque and gingival indices, gingival recession depth and width, probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level, width of keratinized gingiva, aesthetic score and percentage of root coverage, postoperative complaints, and satisfaction of the participants completing the study were evaluated at follow-up 1st, 3rd and 6th months.
Background: Anosmia is a debilitating common symptom of COVID-19. The therapeutic effect of systemic steroid for the treatment of anosmia has been studied with various findings of its efficacy. However, the effect of local steroid was not assessed before. Objective: To estimate the efficacy of local steroid in the treatment of anosmia in COVID-19 patients.
This study is a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation trial of the Family Check-Up 4 Health (FCU4Health), an adapted version of the Family Check-Up, in pediatric primary care. Patients will be recruited based on their age (2-5 years old) and randomized to receive the intervention, FCU4Health, or services as usual. All families will be assessed annually over three years.
Tuberculosis in children is a major public health problem and it contributes 10% of the total TB cases worldwide. TB treatment outcomes in children are challenged by insufficient consideration of the relationships between doses administered, concentrations achieved and eventual desirable and undesirable effects (pharmacodynamics) of TB drugs. Rifampicin is a pivotal TB drug and data from adults suggest that a much higher dose of rifampicin (35 mg/kg instead of 10 mg/kg), resulting in much higher rifampicin exposures in plasma, is safe and tolerable and may provide a higher efficacy. The dose needed in children to achieve the same exposure in plasma is unknown.
Background: The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease, which was first identified in December 2019 and has then spread rapidly around the world. COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and causes people to experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. With the surge in cases and to contain the spread of this disease, Singapore implemented a circuit breaker to reduce movements and interactions in public and private places. People are advised to stay at home and practise social distancing. With restrictions in movements, parents and children are likely to be more sedentary in this pandemic. There is an urgent need to move face-to-face interventions to online interventions as it is important to be active in this period. Childhood obesity threatens the health of US and Singapore populations. In the US, 30% of children are overweight, 17% have obesity, and 8% have severe obesity. In Singapore, 13% of children have obesity, and approximately half of all overweight children live in Asia. In both countries the prevalence is increasing, especially amongst the lower income populations, and is associated with future cardiovascular and metabolic disease. In US, obesity is most prevalent in Black and Hispanic populations and in Singapore, obesity affects Malays and Indians disproportionately. The underlying drivers and potential solutions thus share many common factors. The current evidence shows a clear dose-response effect with increasing number of hours of treatment, with a threshold for effectiveness at > 25 hours over a 6-month period. A key gap in delivering this recommendation is meeting the intensity, and delivering comprehensive treatment that is culturally relevant, engaging to families, and integrated within the community context. The study is an online pilot randomised controlled trial among children aged 4-7 with obesity, in Singapore, to test a novel school-clinic-community online intervention, the KK Hospital (KKH) Sports Singapore program, for child obesity treatment with usual care. The primary outcome is intensity of treatment as measured by hours of exposure to intervention. The online KKH Sports Singapore program involves 4-6 weekly online sessions of physical activity and nutrition lessons for children and parents.
