Filter by:The main objective is to update the diagnostic assessment of frailty by correlating several variables with the ultrasound image of the frail elderly patient. Secondarily, the investigators intend to collect and analyze data on functional capacity and quality of life variables on the evolution of musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as on pain and psychological variables. Similarly, it is intended to make a record of different profiles and subtypes of frail older adult patients to be stored in Big Data in order to establish therapeutic intervention plans that allow both the evaluation and treatment of patients.
This study is prospective, multicenter study for identify the characteristics of asymptomatic common bile duct stones and effectiveness of treatment.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that occurs with physical and psychological symptoms in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in women and affects the physical and mental well-being of the individual. Physiological symptoms; edema, headache, fatigue, weight gain and breast swelling and tenderness, and psychological symptoms; It can be seen as tension, anger, depressed mood or stress. Although it usually ends with the onset of menstruation, its repetition with each menstrual cycle affects the individual's pain coping strategies, sleep and quality of life. Different methods such as pharmacological agents, physiotherapy applications, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, breathing exercises, stress management, meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy are used to cope with PMS, which appears with symptoms of different severities from individual to individual.
The present study is testing spermidine treatment in elderly patients with coronary artery disease. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-armed, parallel-group, single centre, clinical study.
The goal of this prospective, single-arm clinical trial is to evaluate the speech performance of children with anterior dental crossbite before and after correction. Also, to assess the impact of early interceptive orthodontic treatment in the mixed dentition stage to correct the anterior dental crossbite on the quality of life of children. Fifty children of both sexes aged from 8 to 10 years were enrolled and evaluated using the study's inclusion & exclusion criteria. before beginning interceptive orthodontic treatment, each child underwent full mouth treatment. then, using a removable anterior expansion screw along with posterior bite planes to treat the anterior crossbite. All children were subjected to the Protocol of speech evaluation before appliance insertion and after complete correction of anterior crossbite. Also, the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10) in the Brazilian version was used to gauge how the anterior crossbite affected the children's oral health-related quality of life.
This research is being done to evaluate the feasibility of the Horizons Program, a group-based behavioral intervention, to enhance quality of life in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease.
As Korea is becoming a super-aged society, the number of elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is expected to increase rapidly. Therefore, the burden on Korean society will also increase. Thrice-weekly hemodialysis is standard for renal replacement therapy. However, this regimen has not been validated for elderly ESKD patients with residual renal function. Elderly patients can have multiple comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and impaired physical activity. Frequent hemodialysis could provoke falls, hypotension, and cognitive impairment. Previous reports have suggested the potential benefit of twice-weekly hemodialysis with incremental increases in frequency when residual renal function decreases. In addition, twice-weekly hemodialysis decreases hospitalization rates in frail patients. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized initiating renal replacement therapy with twice-weekly hemodialysis decreases the hopsitalizatoin rates compared with conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis in elderly ESRD patients with residual renal function. This study is a pragmatic randomized clinical trial, multicenter study. Study subjects are incident ESRD patients (>= 60 years old, n=428) with residual urine volume ( > 500 mL/day) and follow up up to 2 years. Twice-weekly hemodialysis could be incremented according to clinical situations such as volume overload, hyperkalemia and uremic symptom. Primary outcome of this study is hospitalization rate during follow-up. Secondary outcomes include dialysis related hospitalization rate, the length of hospital stay, complication of dialysis,mortality rate and assessments of quality of life, frailty, and cost-utility.
Creation of an adaptation of a mindfulness-based stress reduction mobile health application specifically designed for adolescents living with Type 1 diabetes. Aim to determine whether daily mindfulness improves anxiety symptoms in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.
Referrals for autism assessment have greatly increased in the last few years. This means that waiting times are longer for families, and children and young people are struggling to get the support they need. This also means that the number of autistic children and young people there is assumed to be is not correct. A better understanding of the true number of autistic children and young people is needed so that better support for them can be provided. This research aims to understand what autism looks like in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex (KSS) to better help autistic children and young people. To do this, schools will be asked about the number of autistic children in their school to better understand the number of children and young people with autism in KSS. Secondly, autistic children and young people will be interviewed to find out about the support they need. The information gathered will help the research team to develop a quality-of-life measure, which can be used by schools to help autistic children and young people get the support they need.
The aims of this study were to: 1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy older adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength. 2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training in older adults. Older adults are defined as being 60 or more years of age.
