Filter by:The main goal of this study is to investigate the tolerability to the use of the GRAIL system in subjects affected by Rett syndrome, particularly referred to: 1. Grail environment (training in dark conditions, interaction with wide and surrounding screen, positioning over the treadmill); 2. time to prepare a set of body marker in order to execute a gait analysis; 3. walking activity over treadmill, with immersive virtual reality; 4. proprioceptive stimulatione provided by the GRAIL platform; 5. cognitive-attentive span time to the activity proposed. The secondary goal is to understand if a training that avail of treadmill and virtual reality would be useful in the future in improving gait characteristics in subjects affected by Rett syndrome
The goal of this observational study is to assess whether a screening of patients at discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) can predict psychological and physical problems three months later. The main questions to answer are: 1. Can the screening method at ICU discharge predict psychological symptoms three months after ICU stay? 2. Can the screening method at ICU discharge predict new-onset physical disability three months after ICU stay? 3. Does pain, resilience (the individuals' ability to handle distress) and frailty affect the risk of developing psychological and physical problems three months after ICU stay? All adult patients with an ICU stay 12 hours or longer will be assessed for inclusion in the study. Three months after discharge from the ICU included patients will be asked to digitally answer a set of questionnaires, rating symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and ability to perform activities of daily living. Patients will also be asked to state their health-related quality of life and on-going pain, how the pain affects their everyday life and the ability to endure difficult situations.
A 104 week dose finding open label trial of lonapegsomatropin, a long-acting growth hormone product, administered once-a-week versus daily somatropin product in prepubertal individuals with Turner syndrome. Approximately 48 individuals (12 individuals per arm) will be randomized to receive one of three doses of lonapegsomatropin or a daily injection of somatropin. This is a trial that will be conducted in the United States.
A prospective study will be conducted to evaluate inflammatory activity in lacrimal glands due to Sjögren's syndrome on Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI), gray scale ultrasound (US), color Doppler US and Power Doppler US.
The study aims to evaluate the effects of an oral supplementation based on inositols and alpha-lactalbumin on principals metabolic parameters in patients with metabolic syndrome at risk of cardiac fibrosis
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of green coffee bean extract (GCBE) on the inflammatory biomarkers in obese patients with a metabolic syndrome via analyzing some inflammatory biomarkers as resistin, TNF-α, total sialic acid, homocysteine, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and anti-inflammatory cytokine, adiponectin
The purpose of the stud will be to compare the effect of pressure release with thoracic spine manipulation on pain intensity level and pain pressure threshold, thoracic spine ROM and physical function onactive rhomboids muscle trigger point in myofascial pain syndrome.
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy and safety of the Chinese patent medicine Changyanning Tablet in the patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can Changyanning Tablet improve diarrhea and abdominal pain in IBS-D patients? 2. Is Changchangning Tablet safe for the treatment of IBS-D?
Constipation consists of bowel symptoms characterized by difficulty or infrequency passage of stool, stiff stool, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. However, its impact goes far beyond this definition. Constipation negatively impacts the quality of life (QoL) of children and adults suffering from this condition, affecting mental and physical-related QoL. Additionally, a negative impact of constipation on QoL was found in parents carrying children with constipation, affecting family functioning. People with an intellectual disability present a constipation rate of over 33%. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder affecting about 1/10,000 females and a few males worldwide. Chronic constipation is persistent in people with RTT, with a reported prevalence higher than 74%. Specific recommendations for constipation management in RTT were developed, including behavioral, pharmacological, and surgical considerations. Recently, the literature has been enriched with papers describing the osteopathic treatment efficacy in reducing constipation. Emerging literature reported the efficacy of OMT in reducing constipation symptoms and improving QoL in typically developed people, as well as in children with disability. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a specific OMT for managing chronic constipation in people with RTT and its impact on primary caregivers' quality of life. Research questions: - Can an OMT improve the constipation of people with RTT, increasing the frequency of bowel movements? - Can the effects of an OMT aimed at reducing the constipation symptoms in people with RTT positively impact the participants' parents' constipation-related QoL? Twelve individuals with RTT and their families will be recruited to participate in this single-blind parallel group-randomized study. Participants will be randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). After the preliminary evaluations, each participant will undergo eight OMT carried out weekly for eight weeks. The OMT will aim to facilitate bowel movements by increasing blood flow through the abdomen. At the end of the treatment, the participants will repeat the evaluation conducted before the OMT, and the collected data will be analyzed.
