In Reunion Island, people encounter environmental and social conditions leading to premature ageing and subsequent frailty. The study evaluates tools, supported by the latest scientific advances in "machine learning" to detect, identify and measure frailty in order to give health professionals the means to act early through preventive actions.
A phase II random, double blind, positive and placebo control trail was conducted in 1200 healthy women in the arm A: 18-26 years old and 600 healthy women in the Arm B: 27-45 years old. The 1800 subjects to be inoculated with middle, and high dose vaccine. Middle dose SCT1000: hight dose SCT1000: placebo: positive control =1:1:1:1.Two arms can be recruited at the same time. If the DSMB assessment shows that the adverse events of a certain dose group meet the criteria of suspension / termination, the dose group will be suspended / terminated.
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in up to 20 VA facilities from 4 regions.
"PrEP N' Shine" is a two-stage randomized controlled pilot trial which utilizes a behavioral intervention to optimize the uptake and adherence of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Transgender women (TGW).
The goal of this study is to determine the most effective messages for encouraging patients with chronic conditions, who have not seen their doctor in at least one year, to return to the clinic. Study participants will receive postcards or letters encouraging them to make an appointment. Researchers will assess whether messages increase appointment scheduling (and attendance).
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the feasibility and scalability of delivering a 30-minute novel virtual reality (VR) experience through the Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality headset with the aim of measuring changes in: 1) patient-reported stress levels on a survey, 2) blood pressure, 3)heart rate, 4) respiration rate 5) heart rate variability 6) and galvanic skin response in cardiology clinic and cardiac rehabilitation patients.
Recreational UV exposure is associated with every form of skin cancer and individuals who engage in more physical activity have a higher prevalence of sunburn, a proximal biomarker of melanoma risk, perhaps explaining why melanoma is the only cancer with which physical activity is positively correlated. Mobile technology for tracking physical activity has become increasingly prevalent and Strava, an activity tracking app and social networking site for athletes, is one of the most popular of these technologies. This research will test the feasibility of delivering location-based, ecologically-valid sun safety advice to Strava users at times when they are predicted to be engaged in outdoor physical activity, by utilizing Strava's public open-source Applications Programming Interface.
The objective of this study is to assess the interest and the efficiency of a warm-up prevention program on the prevalence of shoulder injuries in amateur volleyball players. Around ten teams will be included in the study. They will be divided into two groups (blind): an intervention group and a control group. A warm-up prevention program will implemented in the teams of intervention group. This program will have to be followed twice a week, at the beginning of the training session. In both groups, shoulder injuries will be registered each month by an online questionnaire.
The GOIZ ZAINDU Gipuzkoa - GO - ON Study is an intervention trial to evaluate the efficacy of dementia prevention strategies in cognitively frail people. It is a large-scale randomized controlled trial in over 1000 older adults between 60 and 85 years old with increased CAIDE risk score (≥6), non-demented but with low performance in at least one of three brief cognitive tests. Participants will be randomized to receive standard health advice (SHA-control) or a multidomain intervention (MM-Int) consisting of 1) Risk factor control (vascular factors, polypharmacy); 2) Cognitive training, 3) Physical activity, 4) Dietary changing program, and 5) emotional counseling and social engagement. The primary aim is to demonstrate a 20% reduction in the proportion of subjects who decline in their NTB performance (z score) after 24 months in the intervention group compared to the controls. Secondary aims include: 1) Analyze cost-effectiveness; 2) Show a beneficial effect of the intervention on functional abilities, quality of life, and depressive and anxiety symptoms; 3) Investigate the impact of a lifestyle intervention on aging. In this sense, biological samples and neuroimaging studies will be collected to allow exploratory investigations on aging mechanisms, amyloid imbalance, tau pathology, epigenetics, neuroinflammation, vascular dysfunction, lipid dysregulation, white matter disintegration, cognitive and brain reserve. This protocol is participant-centered, empowering citizens since the recruitment process to gain access to knowledge about their dementia risk status via web or by phone and then decide to participate. Intervention activities have also taken into account participants' perspective with the design of easy-to-use and appealing activities (e.g., using a self-administered at-home physical activity program such as VIVIFRAIL© and EXERCITA© cognitive training materials that have been developed, taking into account the Basque Country population's cultural, linguistic and educational particularities; and diet and nutritional workshops with famous chefs to learn innovative and attractive healthy recipes). The GO-ON trial may shed light on the tools that people need to fulfill the expectation of an active, healthy dementia-free aging. These include digital tools that in the COVID19 pandemic have shown to be effective in removing distance barriers. GO-ON uses them to give support and expand the possibilities to clinical assessment settings and intervention delivery. The digital part of the intervention may expand preventive actions to small rural areas, including digital socialization. GO-ON Study, which starts in summer 2021, is the first large-scale lifestyle intervention trial in Southern Europe that takes part in the WORLDWIDE FINGERs network and will help answer whether the FINGER results can be replicated. The intervention design has been made on the basis that if proven to be efficacious, it may be easily applied at a Public System-level to guarantee a rapid and easy translation of research results to Primary Care settings and people homes.
