Filter by:: GREFFE_ELASTO IRM will evaluate Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) in renal transplant patients with suspected interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy lesions requiring biopsy graft sampling under ultrasound control. The main objective is to search a correlation between renal graft parenchymal elasticity values obtained in vivo by MRE, and the histological data of renal fibrosis by biopsy sampling, and providing a non-invasive tool capable of detecting and monitoring this development over time, making possible in the future to reduce the number of renal biopsies.
Parents and education staff who work with children with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to be at a higher risk of experiencing psychological distress. This study evaluates whether a therapeutic group for parents and education staff who work with children with ID is effective in reducing psychological distress and if so, how it does this and who it works for. The group will include two components: an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) section and a section about positive behaviour support (PBS). ACT is a psychological therapy, the aim of which is to help people to live their lives based on what matters to them, whilst learning new ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings. The PBS section aims to help participants to learn how to use positive strategies to reduce challenging behaviour. Both interventions have been shown to be effective on their own, but this study will examine if combining the two is helpful. Parents of children with ID and education staff who work closely with children with ID attending chosen schools or learning disability child and adolescent mental health services in NHS Lothian will be invited to participate in the study. The group will take place on three half days. Participants will complete questionnaires on the first and last day of the group and six weeks after it has finished. The questionnaires will be about psychological distress, confidence in caring for children with ID and seeing if the group changed how they cope with thoughts and feelings. Participants will also be invited to a focus group, which will think about if the intervention was helpful, and if so how it helped. If the group is effective, the investigators would hope to research the intervention in more depth with the aim of it being offered more widely in the future.
AllyQuest (AQ) is a theory-informed smart phone application that supports HIV medication adherence for young men who have sex with men and young transgender women who have sex with men (YMSM/YTW) via behavior change, social support, and game-based mechanics. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of AQ and AQ plus medication adherence counseling in a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomization Trial.
This study observes the efficacy and side effects of CT-guided radioactive iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer retrospectively, and analyzes the influence of clinical and dosimetric factors on the outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of the recombinant live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines, RSV ΔNS2/Δ1313/I1314L, RSV 6120/ΔNS2/1030s, and RSV 276, in RSV-seronegative children 6 to 24 months of age.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, 12-month durability, and cost-effectiveness of BIP TIC - a therapist-guided and parent-guided internet-delivered behavioural intervention for children and adolescents with Tourette's Disorder and Persistent (Chronic) Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder.
Decreased number of steps and poorer quality of life are prevalently observed among candidates of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, impairments in other aspects of physical activity measurement including energy expenditure, physical activity duration, metabolic equivalents of daily task (METs) and lying down duration are still unknown in candidates based on comparison with healthy individuals, which was therefore aimed to investigate in current study.
To provide a framework for successful clinical trials testing novel targets for therapy in liver disease. To identify molecular and cellular drivers of liver disease to provide a molecular classification and study the determinants or key drivers of disease progression. Consecutive patients admitted with steatohepatitis (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) will be enrolled in this study where liver tissue, blood and stool will be collected to discover and validate factors associated with diagnosis, severity, histological characteristics, development of decompensations, progression of disease and survival.
The objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance on the EZPass Suture Passer Instrumentation and the Precision Flexible Reamer Instrumentation. Ultimately, clinical performance will be assessed through survey questions that evaluate the safety and performance of these instruments.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a well-recognized complication of surgery. The aim of the study is to investigate whether cognitive dysfunction is reduced by the use of modafinil as shown by neurocognitive testing.The treatment effects will be evaluated compared to placebo as well as a non-surgical group.
