This study aimed to compare teriparatide treatments and PVPs, focusing on its effects on life qualities and effect/coast ratio and evaluate which method is better for patients.
Multi-Site Randomized Controlled Trial testing the efficacy of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) intervention among Adolescents and Young Adults with Advanced Cancer
Multisite Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) testing the efficacy of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) intervention among Adolescents and Young Adults receiving hematopoietic cell transplantation for hematology malignancy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 6-months program of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) on lifestyle, physical activity levels, insulin resistance and adipokines, oxidative stress, microcirculatory haemodynamics and serum levels of specific circulating miRNA in post-menopausal, physically inactive breast cancer patients in oncologic follow-up with or without hormone therapy that had completed adjuvant treatment (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) . Furthermore, the study will determine the impact of APA on functional capabilities, on self-reported physical activity, quality of life and psychic health.
No prospective data exist about long term morbidity and quality of life after multivisceral surgical resection for retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RSTS). In order to assess the safety of this surgical approach and the effect on the Quality of Life over the long period we propose a prospective observational study. The hypothesis is that the surgical treatment has no significant impact in determining a lower Quality of Life in the long term. Objectives Primary objective Estimate the difference between baseline and 4 and 12 months scores of the "global health status / QoL" scale in patients primarily treated for localized RSTS, as determined in QLQ-C30 version 3.0. Secondary objectives - Evaluate the long term morbidity of aggressive surgical approach to RSTS in terms of renal failure. - Evaluate the difference between baseline and 4 and 12 months scores of DN4 / LEFS / BPI questionnaires. - Evaluate the difference between baseline and 4 and 12 months scores of the following scales from QLC-C30: PF2, RF2, EF, CF, SF, FA, FI. - Evaluate the difference between baseline and 4 and 12 months scores of the following scales and single items from QLC-C29: Blood and mucus in stool, Stool frequency, Sexual interest, Impotence, Dyspareunia. - To correlate the surgical resection pattern (number and type of organs resected) and the tumor features (size, grading and histological subtype) with the long-term morbidity and quality of life. Eligibility Inclusion criteria - Adult patients (age > 18 years) with primary localized RSTS surgically treated at our institution - Written, voluntary, informed consent Exclusion criteria - Recurrent disease
Every year 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States and of these, 84 % are considered mild TBI (mTBI). mTBI is common both in civilian and military populations and can be debilitating if symptoms do not resolve after injury. Balance problems are one of the most common complaints after sustaining a mTBI and often prevent individuals from returning to their previous quality of life. However, the investigators currently lack clear guidelines on when to initiate physical therapy rehabilitation and it is unclear if early physical therapy is beneficial. The investigators believe that the underlying problem of imbalance results from damage to parts of the brain responsible for interpreting sensory information for balance control. The investigators hypothesize that retraining the brain early, as opposed to months after injury, to correctly interpret sensory information will improve recovery. The investigators also believe this retraining is limited when rehabilitation exercises are performed incorrectly, and that performance feedback from wearable sensors, can improve balance rehabilitation. There are three objectives of this study: 1) to determine how the timing of rehabilitation affects outcomes after mTBI; 2) to determine if home monitoring of balance exercises using wearable sensors improves outcomes; and 3) to develop a novel feedback system using wearable sensors to provide the physical therapist information, in real-time during training, about quality of head and trunk movements during prescribed exercises. The findings from this research could be very readily adopted into military protocols for post-mTBI care and have the potential to produce better balance rehabilitation and quality of life for mTBI patients and their families.
Three months of balance training with follow-up 6 and 12 months thereafter.
