Filter by:This study uses a randomized controlled design to evaluate the efficacy of a new mobile app, Pulse, in reducing the incidence of unprotected sex among young women. Pulse is a web-based mobile health application that can be accessed through mobile smartphones and computers. Pulse was designed to increase highly effective birth control use and reproductive and sexual health care utilization, and ultimately decrease teen pregnancy. The sample is comprised of women with the following characteristics at study enrollment: aged 18-20, not pregnant or trying to become pregnant, has daily access to a smartphone, currently living in the United States or a U.S. territory, and speaks either English or Spanish. Most of the sample (at least 70%) will be women who identify as Black and/or Latina. The evaluation team plans to enroll up to 1,300 participants over a one-year enrollment period using social media, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Users access Pulse autonomously, on their own terms, and in their own time and place. The app consists of 6 sections and includes 3 hours of unique content. It does not require the user to follow a specific sequence of content viewed; however, all users will receive a monetary incentive after registering with the apps. Youth randomized to the intervention condition are given access to Pulse indefinitely and receive daily text messages related to sexual health for 6 weeks. Control participants are directed to a free general health/fitness web-based mobile application, also called Pulse, and receive text messages related to general health for 6 weeks. The control and treatment apps look and feel similar aesthetically but contain different content. Participants in both the intervention and comparison groups receive a baseline survey and a 6-week follow-up survey. Participants will also receive incentives once they complete the baseline and post-intervention survey. Both surveys are conducted online via an electronic survey platform. This study is being conducted as a Rigorous Evaluation of New or Innovative Approaches to Prevent Teen Pregnancy funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescent Health.
This phase II trial studies how well AZD1775 works in treating patients with solid tumors with CCNE1 amplification that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and do not respond to treatment (refractory). AZD1775 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a controlled study to measure the efficacy of using metformin or vildagliptin for type 2 diabetic patients who suffers from hypertension to reduce cardiovascular risk resulting from both diabetes and hypertension using different parameters measuring
The use of laryngeal mask (LMA) for the purpose of providing airway safety of patients is a common method in general anesthesia practice. This practice does not require laryngoscopy and there is no laryngeal and tracheal stimulation until endotracheal intubation, so an increased hemodynamic response is not expected in the patient. LMA is an airway control device consisting of a silicon mask commonly used in cases where endotracheal intubation (ETE) is not required and a silicone tubing connected by 30 degrees. The glottic settles around the entrance. There is no obligation for muscle relaxation as LMA is intubated. However, if a muscle relaxant agent is not used, pharyngolaryngeal side effects such as patient wounds, hiccups, coughs, involuntary muscle movement, hypoxia, laryngospasm can be seen when LMA is inserted. In these patients complications such as throat burning, sore throat, ear pain, voice anxiety, swallowing difficulties are seen depending on the difficulty of LMA placement in the postoperative period. Benzidamine is an anti-inflammatory analgesic agent that is not related to the steroid group as the structure. Benzidamine is different from other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in terms of base formation. Benzidamine has local anesthetic effect in concentrations used in topical treatment. Chlorhexidine grams (+) gram (-) bacteria are most effective in microorganisms such as yeast and some fungi and viruses. Chlorhexidine delays bacterial spread with delayed surface effect. It is absorptive from the microbial cell walls and causes membrane leakage. In this study, investigators aimed to reveal the effects of topical chlorhexidine and benzidamine containing spray (chlorobenzene 30 Ml Spray) used before LMA placement on hemodynamic response with postoperative throat and ear pain, swallowing difficulty, voice anxiety and soft LMA removal.
This study will explore the effects of 3 different neurostimulation methods on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia secondary to Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this study is to analyze the immediate and chronic effects of an exercise protocol on the vibration platform on the functional and neuromuscular performance of lower limbs, postural control and life quality in healthy elderly.
A methodical evaluation of new CE-labelled Phonak Hearing Systems is intended to be conducted on hard of participants with a hearing loss to grant quality control prior to product launch. The aim of the investigation series is to ensure a stable overall performance of the new hearing systems, a good sound quality during phone calls as well as maximum benefit for the participant with the devices.
This study is designed as a prospective observational feasibility study. The investigators will study whether vulnerable plaques on OCT (fibrous cap ≤ 70 μm) show a locally increased uptake of 18F-choline on PET-MRI compared to stable plaques and whether the culprit plaque shows a locally increased uptake of 18F-choline on PET-MRI compared to non-culprit plaques. First, 15 NSTEMI or STEMI patients who underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the culprit vessel, who are diagnosed with multivessel coronary disease and are currently scheduled for a second PCI at the VieCuri hospital will be included. These patients will be subjected to an additional 18F-choline PET-MRI examination at the MUMC+ and an additional optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination (during the PCI procedure at the Viecuri hospital). OCT will be performed as a reference standard to validate 18F-choline PET-MRI for detection of vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries. In addition, 15 NSTEMI patients, who are scheduled for PCI of the culprit lesion at the MUMC+, will be subjected to an additional 18F-choline PET-MRI examination at the MUMC+. Hereby, the culprit coronary vessel and thereby the culprit plaque can be identified by the location of the myocardial infarct, as identified by late enhanced MRI. The investigators will study whether the culprit plaque shows an increased 18F-choline uptake on 18F-choline PET-MRI compared to non-culprit plaques in the other coronary arteries. All patients will receive standard, guideline-based clinical care, while PET-MRI and OCT will be performed as additional measurements. Before the start of the study, 5 stable angina pectoris patients that are scheduled for a PCI procedure at the MUMC+ will be included at the MUMC+ for a single PET-MRI scan to optimize the parameters of the coronary PET-MRI scan.
The investigators set out to determine the extent of compliance with the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist and the association of this compliance with perioperative surgical outcomes in five of Uganda's referral hospitals.
This open trial aims to evaluate feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an internet-delivered CBT-program for children and adolescents with functional gastrointestinal disorders when implemented in regular care.
