Filter by:Asian American (AA) females are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer. Among AA subgroups, Korean American (KA) females had higher risks of developing cervical cancer and rates of cervical cancer mortality compared to white females (11.9, 7.1 per 100,000, respectively). Despite that HPV vaccines have shown to be efficacious in preventing cancers and are recommended for routine vaccinations for youth at age 11 or 12 years, AA females aged 9-17 years have significantly lower HPV vaccine initiation (12.4% vs 27.2%) and completion (1.9% vs 10.3%) rates compared with all other race/ethnicities combined. Using culturally grounded narratives/stories incorporating culture-specific beliefs and practices for health behavior change is effective to mitigate health disparities, specifically for Asian Americans. Storytelling, a specific form of cultural narrative, is showing promise as an effective method of facilitating healthy behaviors through promoting a sense of identification with stories and characters, and transportation (i.e., emotional engagement) as defined in the Model of Narrative as Culture-Centric Health Promotion. We propose to use a digital storytelling approach to gather in-person stories from KA immigrant mothers about HPV vaccination of their children for our intervention.
The aim of our study is to examine the effects of the physiotherapy program applied in the NICU on motor performance, behavior, transition time to full enteral feeding, and feeding performance in preterm infants.
Existing measures to prevent intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants include preventing premature delivery, pre-natal administration of corticosteroid, active treatment of chorioamnionitis, and improvement of postnatal resuscitation and transfer process. Many overseas studies show that nursing care can reduce the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and death, but there is no such study in Taiwan. Objective: to explore the effect of bundle nursing care on prevention of IVH in premature infants.
Compared to U.S. urban counterparts, rural residents face major barriers to using health care services. Challenges include shortages of services, long distances to existing services, and stigma regarding mental illness in isolated communities. These difficulties hold true for Montana, but especially for adolescents. The objective of A Trauma-Informed Intervention for Positive Youth Development and Teacher Wellness in Rural Montana is to improve stress-related mental and physical health outcomes for adolescents and educators in rural Montana through school-based, trauma-informed yoga exercises. This project builds on investigators' previous research (including a two-year CAIRHE pilot study, 2019-21) to promote positive youth development by simultaneously intervening with students and teachers with a trauma-informed yoga intervention. Geographic isolation and resulting lack of resources for many Montanan schools indicates a need for novel, school-centered interventions to address the needs of rural adolescents; yoga can benefit youth and teacher wellbeing.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immunogenicity of a study vaccine (called RSVpreF) in several adult groups. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common type of virus (germ) that can cause severe illness, where medical help is needed. RSV can lead to airway diseases in all ages. Vaccines help your body make antibodies which help fight against diseases. This is called an immune response. This study will measure how much antibody participants make after receiving RSVpreF (immunogenicity). The study consists of 2 groups (Substudy A and Substudy B). Substudy A is seeking approximately 675 participants who are: - Between 18 and 60 years of age. - Considered having a high likelihood of severe RSV disease due to certain long-term medical conditions. Such medical conditions do not include immunocompromising conditions. Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 2 times. At the first clinic visit, participants will receive 1 shot of RSVpreF or placebo in the arm by chance. A placebo looks like the study vaccine but contains no active ingredients. At each clinic visit, a blood sample will be taken. A third (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 6 months long for each participant. Substudy B is seeking approximately 200 participants who are: - At least 18 years of age. About half of the participants will be at least 60 years of age. - Considered having a weakened immune system (immunocompromised). Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 3 times. All participants will receive a shot of RSVpreF at the first study clinic visit. The second study clinic visit will be 1 month later. All participants will receive a second shot of the study vaccine at this second study clinic visit. Blood samples will be taken at the 3 study clinic visits. A fourth (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 7 months long for each participant.
The aim of this non-interventional secondary use of data study is to evaluate hematological response in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and anemia in the 6-month period after initiation of anti-C5 antibody treatment using real-world data obtained from multiple datasets. The results will be used to contextualize results from the APPOINT-PNH (NCT04820530) trial with iptacopan.
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays and healthcare costs. Perioperative low tissue oxygen tension is associated with a high risk of SSI. Standard anaesthetic management guided by continuous monitoring of oxygen delivery with a non-invasive method of measuring mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) using the Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET) monitor may benefit the intraoperative oxygenation on the tissue level. This randomised, controlled, single-centre, parallel-arm, patient-blinded trial aims to investigate if standard anaesthetic management guided by mitoPO2 monitoring results in higher tissue oxygen tension including patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery. Anaesthetists in the intervention group strive to a minimum mitoPO2 of 66 mmHg. Patients in the control group receive standard care. The primary outcome is the difference in means of the mean mitoPO2 during surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) can enhance the effect of virtual reality exposure therapy(VRET) in acrophobia in college students with significant fear of heights. The main question it aims to answer are: • the enhancement of tDCS on the effect of VRET Participants will randomly allocated to tDCS active stimulated group and sham stimulated group and receive VRET.
The purpose of this retrospective study is to assess the treatment benefits of probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 for the prevention of recurrent bacterial and viral infections of the pharynx, tonsils and ears in children under 3 years of age.
The current gold standard for severe mitral regurgitation is mitral valve plasty (PLM). The surgery allows the repair of the mitral valve, therefore without the need for mitral valve replacement (SVM), which involves the implantation of a biological prosthesis or a mechanical prosthesis. However, PLM has a rate of failure, between 1-4% per year in degenerative mitral pathologies. As a result, patients with PLM failure and severe residual regurgitation are increasingly presenting in recent years. Generally these patients are re-operated to replace the mitral valve. Our aim is to investigate the differences in re-operation involving mitral valve replacement or re-repair in patients who underwent mitral valve re-operation (re-repair or replacement) in our center between 2003 and 2017.
