Filter by:This study aims to verify if patients with nerve-related leg pain benefits from neurodynamic treatment over two weeks.
The consequences of alcohol dependence are severe and may range from physical diseases to neuropsychological deficits in several cognitive domains. Alcohol abuse has also been related to brain dysfunction specifically in the prefrontal cortex. To assess these deficits and the application of a novel approach of cognitive stimulation to alcoholics, we have carried out a neuropsychological intervention program with mobile health technology. Patients diagnosed with alcohol dependence syndrome were submitted to cognitive stimulation during four weeks in a three-day/week basis.
Even at centers with very large experience, the risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in surgery for microvascular decompression is reported up to 3%. Prevention of leakage is important since meningitis may follow. Also, leakage usually means longer hospital stay and increased cost. In case of detected leakage extra sutures may be applied, placement of a lumbar drain may be considered or a revision and improved closure may be attempted. With leakage in the subcutaneous tissue, but not through the skin, a local accumulation causing local symptoms may also occur. In addition to being burdensome and being associated with longer hospital stays with possible revision surgery, such complications are also very costly. The best way to reduce cost and burden, and to improve patient care, is to prevent CSF leakage. The aim of this study is to determine if prophylactic lumbar tap is beneficial for prevention of cerebrospinal fluid leakage following microvascular decompression, by comparison of surgical approaches in 3 geographical areas in the Scandinavian health system. Hypothesis: There is no difference in cerebrospinal fluid leakage between the group subject to prophylactic spinal tap versus the group without prophylactic spinal tap.
To compare the efficacy of flexible dosing of brexpiprazole with placebo in subjects with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type

The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept study to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of physical exercise dose on ambulatory function in adults undergoing sub-acute stroke rehabilitation.
To determine the safety and tolerability of multiple-dose administrations of aripiprazole intramuscular (IM) depot in the deltoid muscle in adult subjects with schizophrenia
Tracheostomy is worldwide used for critically ill patients. The aim of our study is to assess the mortality, quality of life, laryngeal function, procedures, early and late complications of tracheostomy performed for critically ill patients admitted in intensive care units.
Optimal fluid management has been considered as crucial part to determine postoperative outcome and organ function. Recently developed, non invasive cardiac output measurement(NICOM, Cheetah Medical, Portland, OR)has enabled continuous cardiac output(CO) monitoring just by attaching electrode on chest wall. Moreover, CO and SSV derived from NICOM have been demonstrated as predictors of fluid responsiveness. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate stroke volume variation derived from NICOM as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in neurosurgical patients. In addition, we plan to reveal inconclusive patients using gray zone approach.
