Filter by:This is a study to understand if taking VTX2735 is safe and effective in participants diagnosed with Cryopyrin-Associated Period Syndrome (CAPS). Approximately 10 patients will take VTX2735 Dose A or VTX2735 Dose B. The study consists of a screening/washout period of up to 28 weeks, a 2 week treatment period, a treatment withdrawal period of up to 2 weeks, another 2 week treatment period, and a 4 week follow up period. The maximum length of treatment is 4 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to identify promising health education strategies and culturally appropriate messages for use by 2-1-1 practitioners to promote coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID) testing behaviors. Previous study findings and evidence-based health communication and education tactics were integrated to create an interactive learning module that includes four narrative scenarios, illustrations, and accompanying questions and responses that inform the audience about COVID testing guidelines. The study will test the effectiveness of the interactive learning module with 2-1-1 callers (n=300) in Connecticut, North Carolina, and Nebraska. Participants' contact information will be shared with us by 2-1-1 with the participants' given consent. The study team will send the potential participant via text message a link to a survey that includes a screen where they will provide informed consent. Those who provide consent will be randomly assigned to receive one of two surveys. The inclusion of the interactive learning module is what varies across the surveys. An experimental group will receive the learning module with a study team-developed pre- and post-survey, and the control group will receive only the study team-developed pre- and post-survey. The post-survey contains questions regarding information covered in the interactive learning module. It is hypothesized that those who complete the interactive learning module in the experimental group will score better on the post-survey questions when compared to the control group. All participants, regardless of experimental or control condition, will receive an information sheet with the most up-to-date scientific guidelines for COVID testing.
some orthodontic brands are more expensive than others, one of the primary outcomes of this study is to know if is it worth using expensive brands? will it provide better quality treatment, in particular, bond strength? The treatment duration is long therefore it is expensive, either for the orthodontist and/or the patient. This study will be comparing the bond strength of different commercial brands of stainless steel brackets.
To compare effect of myofascial Release versus post facilitation stretch in term of pain ,range of motion and disability in chronic non specific low back pain in patients.
The aim of this study is to assess the association between vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHD) and the macular thickness changes following uneventful phacoemulsification. In this prospective study the investigators performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in patients undergoing cataract surgery preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months and analyzed the OCTs for VHDs. The investigators then measured the macular thickness in patients with VHDs and without VHDs and correlated the macular thickness with the number of VHDs.
The aim of the project is to assess the association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via drinking water in pregnancy and birth outcomes (i.e. growth retardation, premature birth, and congenital developmental defects) and maternal morbidity (gestational hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia) in a prospective population-wide register study.
The aim of this study; Which anthropometric measurement and ratio (BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, neck circumference, waist-height ratio, body shape index, body roundness index, visceral adiposity index) is a better indicator in healthy individuals with NAFLD and their biochemical parameters is to evaluate.
This study aims to explore whether an 8-week Triflow breath training program reduced the anxiety levels and improved the heart rate variability and quality of life of patients receiving hemodialysis. To investigate the effect of the triflow respiration training on the improvement of heart rate variability, anxiety, and the quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
In our previous cross-over study--the continuous θ burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting cerebellum dentate nucleus of 44 drug-refractory epilepsy (DRE) patients, a significant reduction in seizure frequency was observed. However, the mechanism of this target to reduce seizures is still unknown. This study aims to explore the mechanism of cTBS targeting cerebellum dentate nucleus for DRE, in order to provide theoretical support for this treatment method. A total of 50 patients with DRE will have 2-week cTBS treatment via accurate navigation to bilateral cerebellar dentate nucleus. Participants will be took TMS-EEG, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) pre- and post- treatment. These three examinations will help to analyze the brain functional connectivity and suggest the mechanism of action of this treatment.
In this study on healthy subjects, the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) will be investigated. In particular, the distinction between periodic and aperiodic electroencephalogram (EEG) activity will be considered, as well as the state-dependency phenomenon. Participants will take part in two experimental sessions that will include tACS stimulation (one real, one control). Before, during, and after stimulation, subjects will have their EEG recorded during rest or during tasks. The aim of this study is to investigate how the modulatory effects of gamma-tACS interact with intrinsic neural activity, measured in terms of periodic and aperiodic activity, as well as neurophysiological and behavioral modulation, taking into consideration the state-dependency phenomenon, which refers to the brain's activation state prior to stimulation.
