There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The proposed study examines the implementation and efficacy of a fruit and vegetable incentive program in a population of adults with diabetes at a community health center (CHC) in California. Additionally, we seek to understand the impact of this program on the participants with particular attention to their experience and point of view. To better understand the program and its impact, a mixed methods approach will be used.
3D printing is emerging as a new diagnostic tool for pre-surgical planning. 3D printed models are extremely advantageous to surgeons in their preoperative planning. Handling these physical replicas engages active spatial perception skills, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the presented information in an inherently intuitive manner that cannot be achieved with conventional methods of imaging review that use screen based 2D and volume rendered representations. The investigators are developing a novel technique to create 3D models derived directly from extremely high-resolution medical images that are superior in spatial and contrast resolution to current 3D modelling methods. This produces patient specific models that contain previously unachievable special fidelity and soft tissue differentiation. Investigators hypothesize that the preoperative use of these new diagnostic quality models will reduce surgical time and improve post-surgical outcomes in the near future. This prospective project will optimize the quality of these 3D models to create highly useful pre-surgical models. Investigators will target those subspecialist areas of the multidisciplinary surgical and imaging team where it is believed these models will have the most impact. The proposed prospective study has two major goals: 1) Investigate the use of uncompressed, ultrahigh resolution CT/MR datasets to produce diagnostic 3D models with identical spatial/contrast resolution to the acquired datasets in the target areas of congenital cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgical tumor resection and nephrectomy. 2) Compare the accuracy of this innovative method for 3D printing to radiological images and pathological data when available.
The present study will: Aim 1: Enroll 15 family members of CA patients to (a) pilot recruitment procedures, (b) estimate retention, and (c) assess acceptability of study procedures. Family members will be randomized to either complete an ICU diary or to a control condition, and will complete surveys in the ICU, at patient discharge, and 30 days post-discharge. Aim 2: Obtain an estimate of the association of intervention v. control with (i) family member fear (operationalized as cardiac anxiety about the patients' cardiac condition) at hospital discharge and (ii) family member PTSS 30 days post-discharge. Exploratory Aims: Obtain an estimate of the association of intervention v. control with family member aversive cognitions towards exercise at hospital discharge.
Over the past ten years, the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory at Spaulding has refined a unique form of exercise for those with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Functional Electrical Stimulation Row Training (FESRT) couples volitional arm and electrically controlled leg exercise, resulting in the benefits of large muscle mass exercise. Despite the success of the FES-rowing Program at Spaulding, FES-rowing systems have not yet evolved beyond research prototypes, and ours is the only program in the US where FES-rowing is available. A new design is critically needed to enable people with paralysis to participate in FES rowing in their own homes, which we believe will maximize both the health and commercial impacts of FES-rowing.
The main objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Lonca-R in unfit and frail participants with previously untreated DLBCL.
This study will evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD7503, following subcutaneous (SC) administration of single ascending doses of AZD7503 in healthy participants.
To investigate surgical mask use and high-intensity interval exercise across different environmental conditions.
The Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is a battery of cognitive tests delivered via an electronic tablet or smartphone. The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the post-acute trajectory of cognitive functioning in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 using the DANA.
To assess the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert in the operating room following cataract surgery/intraocular lens implant (IOL) compared to insertion 1-day post-op.
A sub-set of patients who participated in PTR-01-002 will be enrolled in an open-label study, if they meet the study eligibility criteria.
