Filter by:A concussion occurs when a person receives an impact to the head. The most common persistent symptoms that generate from a concussion are headaches, depression, lack of balance and dizziness. One recommendation to alleviate persistent symptoms of concussion is rest. Research findings indicate that the benefit of rest is inconclusive to help individuals suffering from a concussion return to activities of daily living. One treatment approach in reducing concussion symptoms is physical exercise therapy. Research findings, however, are limited to treatments being administered before the symptoms are considered persistent. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of a physical therapy intervention in minimizing persistent symptoms of concussion using measures of cognition and brain function, mental and physical health, and driving performance. If successful, this physical therapy intervention may help treat persistent concussion symptoms, improving the quality of life and ability for individuals to function normally in their daily lives, and resulting in savings to the healthcare system
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a source of much morbidity and mortality. Rates of PPCs exceed 30% in patients with multiple risk factors. Several studies have demonstrated reduced PPCs in patients who underwent preoperative inspiratory muscle training. These studies largely focused on cardiothoracic surgery and required the use of respiratory therapists. The investigators hypothesize that preoperative, self-administered respiratory therapy would reduce PPCs in patients with risk factors for PPCs undergoing any non-cardiothoracic surgery. This study is a randomized, controlled trial comparing preoperative use of an incentive spirometry device with usual care in patients undergoing non-emergent, non-cardiothoracic surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational treatment (maralixibat) is safe and effective in pediatric participants with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate application value of the endoscopic cutting technique in the treatment of malignant hilar biliary strictures.
Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem in today´s surgical and anesthesiological patient care and is associated with many adverse events. The intention of this study was to evaluate the current S3 guideline on the avoidance of perioperative hypothermia concerning it´s implementation in the clinical routine.
Otolaryngologists routinely administer ear drops at the time of tympanostomy tube placement in order to prevent tube otorrhea; however, there is a lack of consensus as to which drops are the most effective, and whether a post-operative regimen should be used. Utilizing drops postoperatively places the onus of administration on parents who may have various difficulties in delivering the drops to their child's ears. Additionally, prescribing drops postoperatively is a health care cost. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in prevention of tympanostomy tube failure (defined as tube blockage or otorrhea) between Otiprio administered once intraoperatively, Ciprodex otic dropgs administered once intraoperatively, and Ciprodex otic drops administered intraoperatively with a postoperative course.
We would study whether there is any measurable benefit of the administration of nebulized n-acetyl-cysteine to acute respiratory distress syndrome patients starting within 48 hours of intubation and mechanical ventilation.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about 2 types of FDA-approved catheters used in angiographic (X-ray of blood vessels, with radiopaque substance) procedures like DEB-TACE treatment. The Principal Investigator will check the beads given during the DEB-TACE. They will compare the way in which they are spread out in the tumor and density (how condensed something is).
This study is designed to investigate the toxicity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2-weekly and 3-weekly docetaxel in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Also, a mechanism-based population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model will be developed to provide a better understanding of the complex relationships between the drug exposure and toxicity profiles of docetaxel in mHSPC.
The main objective of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 836826 in combination with venetoclax on the basis of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs incidence rate during the MTD evaluation period of the combination treatment and to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of the combination. Other objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of BI 836826 in combination with venetoclax and to further determine the safety, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of the combination by means of the Complete Response (CR) rate and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negativity rate.
