Filter by:Frailty is a clinical syndrome that alters the structure and function of respiratory system which causes stiffness of thoracic cage and reduces the chest wall compliance in addition of respiratory muscle weakness that can lead to the reduction of pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and hold-relax pectoral stretch on pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC) among frail elderly
Resuscitated cardiac arrest (CA) is a frequent cause of admission in intensive care unit (ICU). Neurological state of postanoxic comatose patients can evolve either towards the absence of awakening or towards a more or less altered state of consciousness, ranging from the vegetative state to the full recovery of cognitive functions. Most of the deaths result from active withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, based on poor neurological outcome prediction. Neurological prognostication needs therefore a multimodal approach based on reliable parameters, which should be easy to access and available at the early stage of care, in attempt to limit false poor outcome prognostication and help to not prolong futile active care in patient with severe post anoxic cerebral lesions. Nowadays the prediction of neurological outcome relies on a multimodal strategy including clinical examination, biomarkers and electroencephalography (Guidelines ESICM 2015). Early standard electroencephalography (EEG) is currently recommended and some features, notably absence of reactivity, status epilepticus or burst suppression after rewarming are strongly predictive of poor outcome. But those features require a precise analyze of the EEG usually performed by specialist. EEG patterns can be simplified and classified in five grades according to the Synek classification, ranging from dominant reactive alpha activity (grade 1) to isoelectric encephalogram (grade 5). Grade 1 and two are considering as good prognostic, grade 3 as intermediate and grade 4 to five as poor prognostic. Nevertheless, few data are available on the performance of this classification since generalization of TTM use. We hypothesize that a multimodal strategy combining clinical examination, NSE concentration and the Synek score would bring a high degree of prediction. We aimed to assess the performances of the combination of clinical examination, NSE analysed at 48-72h and the Synek score to predict hard outcome defined by a cerebral performance category (CPC) 3-5, in postanoxic comatose patients treated with induced hypothermia
The hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) experience is emotionally and physically stressful for cancer patients who undergo this procedure. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) on depression and anxiety symptoms, levels of resilience, hope and self-compassion in patients undergoing HSCT and their caregivers. As well as assessing the effects of CBCT on clinical conditions in patients and cortical activity and heart rate variability in caregivers.
How does education of health personnel with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy affect the extent of medical certificates of sick leave and drug prescriptions in primary health care centers in Kalmar compared with similar centers in Jönköping in which the personnel do not get such therapy?
Investigators would like to find out if a woman's exposure to Coxsackievirus has an effect or increase in incidence of babies being born with congenital heart disease(CHD)
This is a multicenter, open label, sequential-cohort, dose escalation & expansion phase I study to evaluate the clinical safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of CS3006 and to establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD）, if any, Recommended Phase II Doses (RP2Ds) and regimen of CS3006. The study is composed of two parts: Part 1 for dose escalation and Part 2 for dose expansion.
The duration of the study is expected to take approximately 3 years, which includes a recruitment period of approximately 12-months and 2 years (24-months) to complete procedure and follow-up visits.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax in combination with quizartinib and how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment, and who are FLT3-mutation positive. Venetoclax and quizartinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Investigator will identify a consecutive cohort of patients who have undergone a hiatal hernia repair and are at least 6 months post index procedure.
The objective of this study is to establish the pharmacokinetic curve for two different doses of MaxSimil at steady-state over a 20-week period, namely two (2) or three (3) tablets per day. MaxSimil is a concentrated fish oil monoglyceride (MAG) that facilitates absorption of the omega-3 oils by the body. Each capsule contains 300 mg of monoglyceride eicosapentaenoic acid (MAG-EPA) and 130 mg of monoglyceride docosahexaenoic acid (MAG-DHA). Thirty-two (32) subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the two parallel treatment doses. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed by measuring the omega-3 index at eight (8) different times during the study. A first sample will be taken before the start of treatment and then every four (4) weeks during treatment. Then, two last measurements of the omega-3 index will be done at four (4) and seven (7) weeks after the end of treatment. Apart from the study treatment and collection of samples for the measurement of the omega-3 index, the only other interventions will be the measurement of body weight at screening and at the end of the study, pregnancy test for women at screening, questioning for demographic information and for the follow-up of the subject's health and concomitant medication intake.
