Filter by:The goal of this study is to explore whether facial expression changes in visual portraits correlate with Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaire responses before and after pet therapy sessions and to compare scores of QOL questionnaires before and after pet therapy.
The main purpose for holding this survey is epidemiological surveillance, it must provide the indicators that contribute to the evaluation of the plan "improvement of the quality of life in chronic diseases" and monitoring the goal of 81 health law public in August 2004. This survey is intended to be renewed during the implementation period of the public health law to provide plan monitoring indicators. The main objective is : To describe the quality of life of patients with major end-stage renal disease treated with dialysis method for at least one year. The seconds objectives are : - To contribute to the knowledge of the key determinants of the quality of life among chronic renal failure patients. - To study the influence on way of giving a questionnaire about assessment of level of quality of life
The purpose of this study is to determine whether medically tailored meals (HDTM) can improve quality of life for patients with metastatic cancer.
This study aims to: 1. describe the monitoring of patients treated for spinal disorders. 2. create a comprehensive database of reliable and readily exploitable quickly to produce a library of cross publications between orthopedic surgery and neurosurgical services. This database will include clinical, functional , radiographic , educational, social and professional data. 3. obtain a cohort of patients in the comprehensive range of spinal pathologies. 4. standardize data collection in this cohort with similar national projects.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the impact of massage therapy in hospice patients.
This study evaluates whether use of intraoperative ultrasound during laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy impacts quality of life. Half of participants will undergo laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy with use of the intraoperative ultrasound and half will undergo traditional laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy.
Compare the quality of life at 6 months between 2 populations of patients followed for terminal ileitis of Crohn's disease treated with anti-TNF or ileocecal resection.
Radiation therapy (RT) leads to a markedly reduced salivary secretion rate, which makes it difficult to eat and talk and it is a risk factor for oral disorders such as caries and mucosal infections. A reduced salivary secretion rate is often a life long side-effect of the treatment that seriously affect the quality of life. To reduce these side-effects the patients get preventive and supportive oral treatment in connection with their cancer treatment. However, regardless of radiation doses given, the severity of the problems vary considerably. Therefore, a better understanding on when and why problems occur is important for the identification of subjects at risk and to find better measures and treatments, suited for their individual needs. Dentate subjects were included referred before RT. Data were collected before and during treatment as well as 6, 12 and 24 months after completed RT. Cancer diagnosis, treatment, radiation doses, infections and medication were obtained from medical records. Dietary habits were registered using a questionnaire focusing on intake of carbohydrate-rich food-items and items containing sugar-substitutes. The subjects weight was registered before, during and after RT. A clinical examination was performed before and 6, 12 and 24 months after completed RT. Panoramic x-rays were taken as well as bitewing radiographs. The number of teeth, caries status, oral hygiene were registered. Mucositis was registered during RT. Secretion of stimulated whole saliva was determined. Minor labial and buccal gland saliva secretion rate was determined using the Periotron-method. Microbial samples were collected from the tongue, buccal mucosa and supragingival plaque and microorganisms associated with oral health and oral disorders analysed using cultivation technique. The quality of life was registered using the questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire). To address additional symptoms associated specifically with cancer in the head and neck region and its treatment, a complementary 35-item module, the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 was used. The patients also completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales, HADS, which is used to measure severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms and provides estimates of possible mood disorders in patients with somatic comorbidity.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of bacillus coagulans and galactomannans (LactoWise®) administration on obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy by observing standard protocol measurements in patients following sleeve gastrectomy: laboratory measurements, ideal body weight, and percent estimated weight loss, in addition incorporating the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI)
In dentistry, 3D printing technology is gaining interest. One of the potential application is to construct appliances on 3D reconstructed study models. The purpose of this study is to compare vacuum formed thermoplastic orthodontic retainers (VFR) constructed on conventional orthodontic study models and reconstructed 3D study models by assessing the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) instrument, Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and compliance.
