The STHLM3-AS study will evaluate the specificity of a new proposed protocol for active surveillance using the Stockholm3 test in combination with MRI targeted biopsies for prostate cancer detection in men with diagnosed low-risk prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance in comparison to conventional follow up using PSA and systematic biopsies.
This is a prospective clinical study that studies how the physical activity level before operation of colon cancer affects the outcome of complication and histology. The hypothesis is that patients who are more physical active have less postoperative complications and different histological immunological response around the tumor. The investigators are testing the patients before the surgery with physical tests for fitness, strength and physical activity level. Questionnaires are also filled by the patients for pain, anxiety, depression and motivation for life style changes. Their body mass is analyzed with a DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan). For one years the investigators are monitoring their activity and follow up for physical tests, DEXA and questionnaires is at 6 and 12 months. The histology is analyzed after surgery to se if there is a different immunological response around the tumor.
Problem gambling (PG) is a major public health concern worldwide. As awareness of PG has risen, treatment demand is increasing, and internet interventions is a promising alternative for providing fast, evidence-based treatment at scale, to a low cost. This article presents the protocol of an open label, uncontrolled pilot and feasibility trial of a novel internet-delivered cognitive behavioral treatment, conducted in regular addiction care with adult treatment-seeking patients (max N=25) with problematic gambling. Weekly measures of gambling symptoms and gambling will serve as outcome measures. Study results will further guide the development of the intervention and its implementation into regular addiction care.
The study aims to investigate the effect of addition of an adsorber during cardio pulmonary bypassin patients with infective endocarditis undergoing valve surgery, and if it will decrease the use of vasoactive drugs postoperatively.
The primary purpose of this project is to evaluate effects in healthy humans on glucose tolerance of cereal products with high amounts of fermentable dietary fibre. Secondary issues are to investigate effects of the test foods on subjective appetite variables, mood variables and gut microbiota composition. The test food products will be consumed in the evening and test variables will be determined the next morning. The study will apply a randomized crossover study design.
REKO-O is a study that addressed women and men on sick leave in Uppsala County. Participants which are enrolled in orthopedic care clinic.
This study evaluates whether current smokers scheduled for gynecological surgery will stop smoking to a higher extent if they or the surgeon is exposed to information on smoking cessation prior to surgery in a web-based questionnaire in the Swedish National quality register for gynecological surgery, GynOp.
In this observational study researchers want to learn more about changes in visual acuity (clarity of vision) with proactive flexible treatments over time in patients suffering from wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) after decision to treat with Aflibercept (Eylea) was made. Wet AMD is an eye disease that progressively destroys the macula, the central portion of the retina, impairing central vision.
The Hit-IT study is based on an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program tailored to patients with different types of cardiovascular diseases and insomnia. A randomized controlled trial design is used. A 9 weeks internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention vs a 3 weeks sleep hygiene education.
The study aims to evaluate the use of 3D endoanal ultrasound in preoperative management of anal fistula disease.
