Filter by:This study aimed to record diaphragm electrical activity (Edi) during the preextubation (weaning) and postextubation periods and to analyze whether Edi monitoring could predict extubation success.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as the presence of excessive numbers of bacteria in the small bowel causing gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. These bacteria are usually coliforms, which are typically found in the colon and include predominantly Gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic species that ferment carbohydrates producing gas .Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a therapeutic method to transplant the microbiota from the feces of healthy people into the intestinal tract of patients. To explore the overall efficacy and safety of FMT in the treatment of SIBO.
The goal of this multicenter interventional pilot is to verify the functionality of a prosthesis for trans-tibial amputees. The main question it aims to answer are: - Is to verify the technical functionality, safety and reliability of the propulsive lower limb prosthesis prototype, with active ankle, so as to provide indications regarding the technical and functional developments to be implemented in the finalization of the device. - Provide an indication of the functional effectiveness of the device and its satisfaction by patients. Participants will perform: - walking tests inside parallel bars on flat and/or inclined terrain; - walking tests on treadmill; - stair climbing/descent tests.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the effects of a single supratherapeutic dose of carbidopa on cardiac repolarization relative to placebo in healthy adult subjects.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), marked by acute hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, has undergone multiple definitions over the years. Challenges persist regarding the ARDS definitions, leading to various revisions. Through the Delphi study, the investigators aims to gather global opinions on the conceptual framework of ARDS, assess the utility of current and past definitions, and explore the role of subphenotyping. The diverse panel's collective expertise will contribute valuable insights for refining future ARDS definitions and enhancing clinical management.
Aim of study is to demonstrate that the ResAppDx v2.0 algorithms provide an accurate diagnosis of paediatric respiratory disease in the study's clinical setting compared to a Clinical Adjudication Committee's (CAC) diagnosis; and to establish a baseline for the resource use and cost of current care pathways for paediatric respiratory disease diagnosis in an emergency department. Eligible subjects/parents will be assented/consented, enrolled and their subject reported signs/symptoms of respiratory disease will be recorded in the study electronic case report form (eCRF).The enrolled subject's cough sounds will be captured (5 cough sounds are required) using the ResAppDx v2.0 Investigational Device (ID) software installed on a study smartphone; cough sounds may be voluntary and/or involuntary/spontaneous. As this is an observational study the treating team will be blinded to the ResAppDx v2.0diagnoses. Additional medical information will be collected from the treating team, from the subject/parent and from the subject's medical record. No follow-up/subsequent visits with the subject will be required by the study. As an efficacy comparator, a CAC will determine the final clinical diagnosis for each enrolled subject using the disease case definitions, eCRF data, the subject's medical record and cough sound recordings.Information on time and scope of tests and consults ordered by the treating team will be recorded to set a baseline for resource use and cost and time of current standard of care treatment/assessment procedures. This data will allow future health economics analyses to be performed.The blinded ResAppDx v2.0diagnoses will be unblinded after database lock and sensitivity and specificity will be calculated for the ResAppDx v2.0diagnoses compared to agreement with the CAC's final clinical diagnoses for this cohort.
Vaccines currently prevent several million deaths every year and more lives could be saved if vaccination take up increased. The World Health Organization identifies vaccine hesitancy as one of the ten most important threats to global health and emphasizes the importance of devising interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy. The two most promising interventions rely on consensus messaging, which has robust but small effects, and interactive discussion, which has larger effects, but is difficult to scale up. School-based interventions aimed at adolescents have the potential to make the best of both types of interventions. Interventions that take place in schools can be conducted over longer periods of time (up to several hours) and are rolled out by a figure that is typically trusted and respected (the teacher). Moreover, intervening during adolescence is particularly timely since important vaccines are delivered at that age (most notably the human papillomavirus vaccine), and because attitudes towards vaccination during adolescence might have a long-lasting impact, as is the case for other health related attitudes. This study tests the effectiveness of two interventions, a pedagogical intervention based on consensus messaging, and a chatbot intervention designed to mimic interactive discussion, on 9th grade French pupils.
The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of a new harvesting technique for an arterial conduit(LIMA - Left Internal Mammary artery) in patients undergoing Coronary artery bypass grafting. The researcher will compare the 1. Time taken to harvest the artery 2. Flow of blood between the two techniques
Mechanical methods used for induction of labor received a great attention nowadays due to the serious side effects of the pharmacological methods. Hygroscopic dilators are considered important subtype of these mechanical methods. One of them is Laminaria which is a synthetic type of sea algae that induces cervical dilation by absorbing water from the cervix and gradually increasing in thickness. The current study will compare the effectiveness and safety of laminiria and vaginal prostaglandins in induction of labor in women with unfavorable cervix.
Facial lines that develop from repeated facial expression, such as glabellar lines (GL), are typically treated by selectively weakening specific muscles with small quantities of botulinum toxin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AGN-151586 over a range of doses for the treatment of moderate to severe GL in Japanese participants. AGN-151586 is an investigational product being developed for the treatment of GL. Participants are randomly assigned to receive AGN-151586 or placebo. There is 1 in a 4 chance that participants will receive placebo. Around 24 adult participants with moderate to severe GL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 2 sites in Japan. Participants will receive either AGN-151586 or Placebo administered as 5 intramuscular injections to the glabellar complex on Day 1. The duration of the study will be approximately 6 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
