Filter by:Patients with head and neck cancer requiring definitive or adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy can take part in the study. The aim is to record the nutritional status and diet of the patients during the trial and regularly at a period of 8 weeks after irradiation and to reduce the rate of weight loss and malnutrition.
This study aims to assess whether administering intravenous iron early in pregnancy, compared to standard oral iron treatment, can enhance hemoglobin levels before delivery and reduce the need for blood transfusions in patients with iron deficiency anemia. Patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia were randomly assigned to receive either oral or intravenous iron. Before treatment initiation, patients completed a symptom questionnaire baseline hemoglobin, and ferritin levels were measured. Follow-up visits occurred four weeks later and at 24 to 28 weeks gestation, involving reassessment of symptoms, laboratory testing, and monitoring of treatment adherence. Final hemoglobin levels were determined before delivery, and data on the need for blood transfusion at delivery were recorded.
Disruptive behavioral disorders are common in early childhood, affecting up to 15% of preschool-aged children. Behavioral parent training programs are a first-line evidence-based treatment for child disruptive behaviors. There is evidence showing that (a) these programs are effective in reducing disruptive behavior and improving long-term outcomes, and (b) there is an excellent return on investment for early intervention. Nevertheless, there is limited availability of behavioral parent training programs, particularly in rural settings, due to shortages of trained clinicians. Thus, there is a pressing need for expanding the mental healthcare workforce in rural/underserved areas. The study will involve an established parent-based behavioral intervention (First Approach Skills Training for Behavior; or FAST-B) with added pilot component incorporating parents who have previously been through parent behavioral management training programs as Peer Supports.
Regular physical activity can help to prevent and control non-communicable disease. WHO recommends at least in adults to do moderate-vigorous physical activity includes muscle strengthening. But regardless the importance and recommendations of physical activity, not all of the world's population does it .Biceps Curling is a popular physical exercise which easy to do , it can strengthen the muscles in the upper body. However based on the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in individuals who just starting to do physical exercise may experience pain and can become a barrier to do physical activity, so an approach is needed to prevent this and acupuncture is one of them. Currently, a lot of acupuncture research has been carried out to reduce the condition pain and stiffness after weight training, but there are not many study using manual acupuncture twirling in this condition . That's why the aim of this study Is to see the efficacy of giving manual acupuncture with twirling stimulation for pain and stiffness post weight training. The study method will be a Single Blinded Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial which will compare the efficacy of Manual Acupuncture twirling with Manual Acupuncture Sham for post-exercise pain and stiffness . The outcomes consist of Visual Analog Scale, Pain Pressure Threshold, Range of motion of elbow flexor at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours post weight training
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 0 substudy designed to evaluate the localized pharmacodynamics (PD) of rilvegostomig, volrustomig, and sabestomig within the tumor microenvironment (TME) when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device in patients presenting with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) with a surface accessible lesion, who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment. PD effects due to injected investigational agents will be compared to those elicited by pembrolizumab alone, which will also be injected in microdose quantities via the CIVO device.
This study aims to examine the correlation and agreement of regional and global measurements of ventricular function in the apical 4 chamber and subcostal 4 chamber view. Additionally, we will explore limitations of the technology and explore the effect of left lateral positioning.
A multicenter observational retrosPective Registry of patIents with transthyretin aMyloid polynEuropathy (hATTR-PN) and chRonic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) in the population of the Russian Federation (PRIMER) There are no comprehensive epidemiological data on patients with hereditary ATTR-PN (hATTR-PN) and CIAP in the Russian Federation. Therefore, there is a need to conduct a large-scale observational study in the Russian population to obtain information on clinical, electrophysiological and demographic characteristics of patients with hATTR-PN and CIAP. Obtaining the study data will help to identify the patients with axonal polyneuropathy, who deserve TTR gene sequencing, and therefore to allow early treatment and potentially modify disease progression in patients.
The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up to 30 days.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination product "Histograft", a bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene, in spinal fusion prosedure in comparison with bone autografts and synthetic material based on β-TCP
VMMC has been identified as a crucial intervention by UNAIDS to achieve the 2030 global target of a 90% reduction in new HIV infections compared with 2010 levels. CIDRZ, a key partner to the Ministry of Health, has worked with DesireLine to develop a mobile application that supports mobilisers to segment potential clients and provide them with targeted messaging based on their segmentation type. The hypothesis of our proposed study is that targeted interventions addressing the barriers for each of the seven segments, assisted by the Digital Mobilization Tool, will better meet the needs of potential clients and therefore improve uptake of VMMC services, specifically among the three most-resistant segments. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a segment-targeted mobilization intervention supported by the VMMC NEXUS Digital Mobilization Tool on the uptake of VMMC services at 30 intervention sites, compared with 30 control sites. The research questions are: 1. What is the effect of segment-targeted mobilization interventions designed to address the specific psycho-behavioral barriers each of the seven segments face, supported by the VMMC NEXUS Digital Mobilization Tool, on the overall numbers of men receiving VMMC in each site? 2. What is the effect of the same on the numbers of men by segment receiving VMMC in each site? 3. What is the effect of the same on the numbers of men by age receiving VMMC in each site? Secondary goals will be the following, to the extent possible: - Assess the incremental cost of the intervention, including by MC - Assess and document process learnings from the intervention - Develop a workplan to enable national and regional scale-up of the mobilization model and NEXUS Digital Mobilization Tool if demonstrated as effective
