Filter by:The broad aim is to determine efficacy of a weight loss diet higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate combined with low intensity exercise to favorably impact body composition, bone health, physical function, metabolic disease and quality of life compared to a conventional higher carbohydrate diet in overweight women over age 60.
Quality of life after rectal surgery is reported to be impaired. Side effects of surgery and/or neoadjuvant treatment as functional disturbances like sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, anal incontinence or stoma problems are commonly experienced. The investigators hypotheses is that structured rehabilitation program addressing these problems will improve quality of life. A RCT are performed in order to document the effects of the rehabilitation.
The aim of the study is to establish the impact of a falls screening questionnaire in the adoption of preventive interventions and eventually in the reduction of falls and its consequences in elder people living in nursing homes.
The purpose of this study is to see if a device called the Resonator can help to improve aspects of health and quality of life that are relevant to patients with Parkinson's disease.
Personality type as a predictor to develop depression and reduction in quality of life among stroke survivals.
Hypothesis : Phacoemulsification is superior to SICS with regards to: - Immediate unaided high and low contrast visual performance - Its impact on quality of life.
To compare Quality of Life between the ARIMIDEX group, the NOLVADEX group and the ARIMIDEX plus NOLVADEX combination group during the first two years of treatment. (a) To compare the difference in Quality of Life between the ARIMIDEX group and the NOLVADEX group (b) To compare Quality of Life in the ARIMIDEX plus NOLVADEX combination group with the NOLVADEX group for non-inferiority; if non inferiority is concluded, the difference in QOL between these two groups will be assessed.
A prospective, multi-module intervention based on nutrition management, psychosocial support, and a controlled home-based physical exercise training program for patients on LVAD- support will be provided to improve outcomes in terms of survival and patients health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for the long-term. Physical capacity, neurocognitive, psychological factors, and adverse events will be assessed as potential independent indicators for HRQoL.
Fatigue is the most common and disabling symptom in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Studies in other cancer patients with fatigue have shown that exercise improves both fatigue and quality of life (QOL), but there are no such studies in AML. The investigators want to conduct a pilot study of a home-based exercise program to see if this type of exercise program is feasible for AML patients, reduces fatigue, and improves QOL. What the investigators learn from this study will be essential to designing a larger, definitive randomized trial of exercise in patients with AML.
Purpose: Comparing a GnRH agonist and an antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI with regard to 1. frequency of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (1. outcome measure) 2. quality of life (2. outcome measure) 3. live birth rate (2. outcome measure) 4. gene expression profiles of granulosa and cumulus cells, and concentrations of estradiol and vascular endothelial growth factor in follicular fluid(not only compared between GnRH agonist and antagonist protocol, but also between patients with OHSS and no OHSS and patients becoming pregnant and not becoming pregnant (2. outcome measure), and 5. number of oocytes removed per treatment, number of embryo transfers per treatment and number of spontaneous abortions per treatment (these three parameters are tertiary outcome measures). In addition to the above mentioned efficacy outcome measures the safety outcome measure "frequency of known side-effects" will be compared between the two protocols.
