Filter by:This multicentric prospective clinical practice study aims at evaluating clinical factors associated with a prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and other outcomes such as mortality and ICU length of stay in patients affected from COVID-19 related pneumonia and ARDS.
Huntington's disease often brings together 3 types of symptoms at one time or another of the disease during its evolution: motor, cognitive and psychiatric. Management requires comprehensive and multidisciplinary health, social or medico-social support. Its development generates additional difficulties for professionals who very often qualify this disease as "very complex" because it leads to a deep and severe impairment of physical and intellectual capacities. The sick person gradually loses their autonomy and becomes dependent for the acts of daily life, hence the choice of this disease for our study. Our study is focused on the quality of life at home of patients followed by the Angers Reference Center, "expert" on neurogenetic pathologies. Studies focusing on patients' quality of life at home have so far never been undertaken for a rare neurodegenerative disease like Huntington's disease.
This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of coronal restorations of endodontic treated posterior teeth (ETPT) on the satisfaction and quality of patient's life. The patients who were chosen for this purpose were asked to fill in 3 questionnaires.Electronic charts and files of patients who received endodontic treatment in our faculty between 2018 and 2020 were reviewed and chosen. The patients included in the study had been treated by the same endodontist and restorative dental specialist. The coronal restoration of the ETPT had to be either direct composite restoration (DCR) or indirect ceramic restoration (ICR). When the data of patient files and database systems were combined, 76 patients were deemed fit for this study. The patients were contacted by phone to request participation in the study. A rendezvous was created for the patients who agreed to get involved in the study, and those who came to the appointment filled in the questionnaires. Demographics, the semantic differential scale, and the OHIP-14 scores provided data that were entered into Minitab 18 software.
People with incurable cancer often have complex individual needs, however there are several common themes encountered when considering this group. As cancer progresses there are series of interactions between the tumour and the patient, producing both local and systemic effects. This altered state of illness can have multiple ill effects including weight loss, fatigue, increased symptom burden and reduction in physical function which all contribute to a reduced quality of life. These areas are often studied in isolation, giving an incomplete picture. A detailed, holistic characterisation of this group of people does not exist. A robust characterisation of people with incurable cancer will allow identification and prioritisation of future research and has the potential to inform new therapeutics and provide justification for treatments. This study aims to collect information about symptoms and quality of life, weight loss and body composition, physical activity and the body's immune response to cancer. Participants with incurable cancer will be recruited to the study from oncology and palliative medicine services in the UK. Participants will answer questionnaires about quality of life and symptoms, have bloods taken for inflammatory marker and cytokine analysis and have their body composition measured by a variety of methods.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Informational Manual Therapy (IMT) on quiet standing and quality of life in healthy individuals. The IMT also is known as the Poyet-Pialoux method, is a holistic, no orthopedic, and soft manual therapy. Design: This is a one-group pretest-posttest design. It is a within-subjects experiment in which each participant is tested first under the control condition and then under the treatment condition. Setting: University laboratory. Intervention: One IMT session was performed on 57 healthy individuals aged from 18 to 65 years. They were grouped into three age groups. The treatment session was performed by 5 therapists on two days. The primary outcome was quite standing assessed by the SATEL force platform. Secondary outcomes were bodily pain assessed by the pain sections of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and quality of life by EQ-5D-3L (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). The primary outcome was evaluated before and immediately after treatment and after 7-10 days. The secondary outcomes were assessed after treatment and 3 weeks later.
Emerging evidence indicates that circadian rhythms may be disrupted following cancer and its treatment, and that circadian rhythm disruption may be an underlying pathophysiological mechanism of cancer- and cancer treatment-related symptoms (CRS) such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment, and depressed mood. Given the detrimental effect of CRS on cancer survivors' quality of life, and a pressing demand for effective interventions to treat CRS, there is a need for a comprehensive examination of circadian disruption related to cancer and its treatment, and its association with CRS. The study will prospectively examine circadian rhythms and a CRS composite score in recently diagnosed breast cancer patients from prior to surgery or chemotherapy to 12 months later. A matched healthy control group will serve as a comparison.
Many of the patients hospitalized for a severe form of SARSCoV-2 respiratory impairment require prolonged intensive care that can be complicated in the short term, In the medium and long term, physical and psychological sequelae can affect patients' quality of life and prevent a return to normal working life. To date, there is little data on the fate of patients treated in Resuscitation for a severe form of COVID-19, both in terms of respiratory sequelae, as well as in terms of psychological sequelae and their quality of life. The objective of this study is to be able to describe and evaluate the possible physical and psychological sequelae and quality of life of patients hospitalized in Resuscitation for a severe form of COVID-19 in the short (3 and 6 months), medium (1 year) and long (5 years) End of their stay in ICU. To do this, we want to carry out a prospective, observational and monocentric study in the consultation department of the Nice CHU. All patients admitted to Resuscitation for a severe form of COVID-19 who have accepted the longitudinal medical follow-up proposed by the Nice CHU will be included in the study and data from the computerized medical record will be analyzed.
The aim of the study is to evaluate Oral Health related quality of life of children and adolescents with down syndrome and Parental Perception, knowledge and Attitude on oral health conditions of children and adolescents with down syndrome
It is aimed to investigate the depression and quality of life of Turkish society caused by Covid-19 pandemic and reveal the relationship between them
In bipolar disorder, treatment noncompliance is associated with high rates of recurrence and hospitalization. Furthermore, it is reported that that treatment noncompliance disturbs the social functioning of patients and reduces the quality of life. Improvement of the quality of life, social functioning and treatment compliance is as important as the long-term treatment of symptoms.This study aimed to determine the effect of treatment compliance training given to patients with bipolar disorder on treatment compliance, social functioning, and quality of life.
