Filter by:Obesity increases the risk of pregnancy complications, including among others puerperal infections and cesarean delivery, and risk rises with increasing body mass index (BMI). Class III obesity is an indication for delivery by 39 weeks, and these patients have a high rate of labor induction. In nulliparous women from the general population (obese and non-obese), labor induction at 39 weeks (compared to expectant management) is associated with less morbidity and a lower cesarean rate. Antibiotic prophylaxis, standard before cesarean delivery, is associated with less post-cesarean infection if azithromycin is added to the standard cefazolin. In this placebo-controlled pilot trial, investigators will estimate the parameters necessary to calculate the sample size for a planned multicenter clinical trial of prophylactic antibiotics administered at the start of labor inductions of morbidly obese nulliparous women at term.
The following pilot study will be undertaken to determine the effects of use of a zero-sodium peritoneal dialysate solution (10% dextrose in sterile water) on sodium removal as compared to a standard peritoneal dialysis solution.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common serious bacterial infection among infants. Suprapubic aspiration and bladder catheterization are considered as the gold standard by the American Academy of Pediatrics for the diagnosis, yet it is painful and invasive. In contrast, the bladder stimulation technique has been shown to be a quick and non-invasive approach to collect urine in young infants. Actually, the investigators don't have data on bacterial contamination rates for clean-catch midstream urine collections using this technique
Patients with hematological malignancies are at increased risk of bleeding, especially during intensive chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to compare by thromboelastography changes during the intensive chemotherapy in patients with hematological malignancies.
This is a retrospective chart review study examining 1) demographic data such as age, sex, etiology of pancreatitis 2) clinical data including radiological characteristics of walled off pancreatic necrosis, walled off necrosis related admissions and readmission following endoscopic drainage, surgical or percutaneous procedures performed for the management of walled off pancreatic necrosis, and clinical outcomes following treatment of WON (including hospital readmissions, WON resolution, procedure complications, WON related death) 3) endoscopy data including indication for initial endoscopic drainage and subsequent endoscopic procedures performed for management of walled off necrosis (including additional EGD's, endoscopic drainage procedures, and/or necrosectomy)
The brief RCT will be conducted in the form of a questionnaire survey, with two kinds of leaflets embedded in the same questionnaire. The RCT will be conducted in classrooms by teachers who will be given two kinds of questionnaires (with leaflet embedded) used for intervention and control groups. The questionnaires will be mixed in a way that two adjacent questionnaires are always different. The intervention leaflets will contain information for tobacco industry denormalisation. The control leaflets will contain information for tobacco control policy in Hong Kong. The study aims to test the effect of a leaflet-based intervention on primary school students' attitudes towards tobacco industry.
This study aimed to verify the influence of night work and food intake during the night shift on the eating behavior of fixed night workers the next day.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the changes of the sleep-related memory functions in patients with psychosis after they have completed the 12-week high-intensity exercise intervention, the 12-week low-intensity exercise intervention, or the 12-week controlled non-exercise intervention respectively. Fifty-one patients with psychosis, patients who received either the high-intensity exercise or low-intensity exercise as intervention shown a significant improvement to their impaired sleep-related memory function, while those who received non-exercise intervention has no such improvement. Moreover, high-intensity exercise may have a more prominent effect compare to low-intensity exercise.
In an effort to understand the effects of evidence-based interventions on children and adolescents, the aims of this study are to: 1. evaluate the feasibility of utilizing wearable devices to track health information (i.e., sleep, physical activity); 2. evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based intervention components on mood and interpersonal functioning, family engagement, and sleep and physical activity level outcomes.
