Filter by:This pilot "pre-post" quasi-experimental study evaluates for the first time the effectiveness of Vojta Therapy in treating lumbosciatic and compares it with the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) procedure. Patients who agree will be distributed alternately in order of arrival to a Physiotherapy Unit, in such a way that half of the sample will be treated using TENS and the other half with Vojta.
The long-term goals of this study are (a) to understand the biological underpinnings for the increased incidence of community-acquired pneumonia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are treated with inhaled corticosteroids; and (b) to develop novel therapies to treated this problem using over-expression of micro-RNAs (miRNAs).
Asthma and sleep apnea are both respiratory diseases and one can worsen the other. Those who suffer from asthma have a higher risk of sleep apnea and sleep apnea can make the asthma more difficult to control. As girls usually have a more severe asthma than boys, the investigators believe that girls have a higher risk of sleep apnea. To test if asthmatic girls have more sleep apnea than boys, the investigators are going to ask them questions regarding asthma and sleep symptoms (such as snore) and the investigators are going test the lung function and how many times they stop breathing during the sleep. The sleep test is going to be performed in children's home. In children, having sleep apnea can make the asthmatic stay in the hospital 30% more when they have an asthma attack. We also are going to look if sleep apnea increases the number of hospitalizations and asthma attacks in the past 12 months.
This study aims to observe the safety and efficacy of the Xyntha Solofuse prefilled syringe in the setting of routine practice. The primary objective is to detect medically significant events (factor VIII inhibitor). The secondary objective is to observe the overall efficacy and safety of the Xyntha Solofuse prefilled syringe including serious adverse events. In this open-label, non-comparative, observational, non-interventional, retrospective and multi-center study, post-marketing surveillance data will be collected retrospectively for up to 6 months from the initial administration day of the Xyntha Solofuse prefilled syringe injected into patients who have been administered the Xyntha Solofuse prefilled syringe. As specified in the product approval issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, the study will be conducted for 4 years from the approval date. At least 600 study subjects will be enrolled in this study to meet the MFDS requirements. Although 600 is the assigned number of study subjects, the number of cases will be adjusted considering the actual number of enrolled subjects after the study start day.
Recent studies have shown that deep anesthesia is associated with poor outcome. There is still lack of randomized controlled trials with large sample size on the effect of depth of anesthesia on the postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing brain tumor resection. The investigators are performing a randomized and parallel group trial. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the depth of anesthesia and postoperative clinical outcome in patients undergoing supratentorial tumor surgery.
This phase II trial studies how well ultrasound-guided verteporfin photodynamic therapy works for the treatment of patients with solid pancreatic tumors that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Photodynamic therapy is a type of laser device that is guided by ultrasound imaging and used in combination with the drug verteporfin that may be less invasive and as effective as current treatment methods for patients with pancreatic cancer.
An innovative diagnostic ultrasound method for carpal tunnel syndrome was proposed and compared between carpal tunnel syndrome patients and healthy volunteers.
The aim of this prospective, randomized, placebo controlled study is to evaluate the effect of a single preoperative dose of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combination on post-operative pain and swelling in adult patient with symptomatic apical periodontitis.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the BSJ003W in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation at increased risk of thromboembolism in Japanese Clinical environment
Intraoperative stress responses (vasoconstriction and changes in heart rate) and postoperative pain can be monitored using photoplethysmography (PPG). PPG measures changes in tissue volume noninvasively. Therefore it can measure acute changes in arterial diameter (vasoconstriction). PPG signal has two components, AC and DC. Effects of noxious stimuli-induced stress responses (vasoconstriction) have not been studied on the DC component of PPG. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a known noxious stimulus (endotracheal intubation) on both the AC and DC components of PPG.
