Filter by:High risk infant is defined as infant with a negative history of environmental and biological factors, which can lead to neuromotor development problems. It is a heterogeneous group of premature infants born under thirty-seven weeks of age, with infants with low birth weight, term or developmental retardation for various reasons. Therefore, preterm infants with low birth weight can survive with a neurological sequelae such as cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, mental retardation, speech and speech problems, and learning difficulties. The clinical diagnosis of CP and learning diffuculties which can be observed in high-risk infants, is based on the combination of some neurological and clinical signs.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether implementation of an ED Sepsis Tracking Sheet effects the percentage of goal-directed sepsis criteria met in a tertiary care academic Emergency Department.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of inhalational sedation on cerebral perfusion in patients with SAH. It will evaluate whether the administration of isofluorane, by inducing direct vasodilation in the cerebral parenchyma, can improve the cerebral perfusion rates. Perfusional CT will be used to study the variation of cerebral blood flow to rule out the vasodilatory effect on territories with different cerebrovascular reactivity aggravating the phenomena of distrectual hypoperfusion (theft theory).
This study is a single-center, open, single-arm, phase II clinical trial. Eligible HCC patients, after signing informed consent, will receive TACE treatment. Envafolimab combined with Lenvatinib will be started on the day of TACE, and the subsequent TACE will be performed on demand. Patients will receive the treatment continuously until disease progression or intolerance. Tumor imaging evaluation will be performed according to RECIST V1.1 criteria every 6 weeks. Safety will be assessed with CTCAE 5.0. Adverse events throughout and within 30 days of the end of the study will be recorded (severe adverse events or adverse events associated with Envafolimab will be recorded within 90 days after the end of treatment).Treatment will last for 2 years or until disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, loss of visit, or death.
This clinical trial develops and tests a model of family caregiver education focused on the role of underserved family caregivers as providers of complex care in the home. Cancer patients have symptoms from their cancer or treatment and are then supported by family caregivers at home with tasks requiring technical skill. Family caregivers are often asked to provide complex care whether it involves decisions about managing symptoms or providing technical care for ports/pumps, tubes, or devices. Family caregivers often are not given enough information on how to provide care for patients at home needing complex care. The results from this study may help researchers refine and improve the intervention for caregivers through future research for caregivers on a much larger scale.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if type of nail polish (gel polish or regular polish) has an effect on the number of bacterial colonies on finger nails after surgical scrubbing. Participants: The potential participants are healthcare providers with patient interaction. Exclusion criteria include evidence of active dermatitis or other skin abnormalities, or allergy to chlorhexidine. Intervention: Participants will have gel nail polish applied to one finger of their dominant hand, and regular polish applied to another finger of their dominant hand. Bacterial swabs will be collected from these two fingers, as well as the from the adjacent finger with no nail polish. Specimen collection will occur both before and after scrubbing with surgical soap. Bacterial counts will be compared between the three groups to determine the association between the presence of nail polish and nail polish type on bacterial counts after surgical scrubbing. Specimen collection will not take place during scrubbing for actual patient care.
Nasal high flow is widely used in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. It has been shown to improve patient comfort, increase oxygenation and reduce need for intubation in some patients. The Respiratory Oxygenation (ROX) index has been established as a simple tool to help clinicians identify those patients who will succeed and those who will fail under nasal high flow and therefore predict the need for intubation. However, when nasal high flow therapy is successful, little is known as to how and when weaning of this device should be performed and what are the predictors of a safe withdrawal of the device. The objectives of this retrospective exploratory study are to identify a cut-off value of the ROX index predictive of success of the withdrawal trial, to describe a one-year use of the withdrawal trial; to describe the ROX value closest to weaning from nasal high flow, and to identify factors associated with success or failure of the withdrawal trial from nasal high flow therapy in patients receiving nasal high flow therapy.
This study is to examine the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy applied to patients in early psychosis patients on psychotic symptoms and functionality levels.
