Filter by:Management of known patients with cardiovascular disease (in particular the whole spectrum of atherosclerotic ischaemic coronary artery disease, essential hypertension under treatment, and also patients with chronic heart failure under medication) and with other associated chronic pathologies, with obvious effects on the management of the pandemic with modern / distance means (e-Health) of patients at high risk of mortality in contact with coronavirus. Given the Covid-19 Pandemic, all the above complex cardiovascular patients are under the obligation to stay in the house isolated and can no longer come to standard clinical and paraclinical monitoring and control visits. Therefore, a remote management solution (tele-medicine) of these patients must be found. The Investigators endeavour is to create an electronic platform to communicate with these patients and offer solutions for their cardiovascular health issues (including psychological and religious problems due to isolation). The Investigators intend to create this platform for communicating with a patient and stratify their complaints in risk levels. A given specialist will sort and classify their needs on a scale, based on specific algorithms (derived from the clinical European Cardiovascular Guidelines), and generate specific protocols varying from 911 like emergencies to cardiological advices or psychological sessions. These could include medication changing of doses, dietary advices or exercise restrictions. Moreover, in those patients suspected of COVID infection, special assistance should be provided per protocol.
Hantavirus disease are zoonotic infections and remain a clinical challenge with globally increasing incidence and multiple serious outbreak situations in Europe within the last years. Hantavirus disease encompasses two clinical syndromes, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) caused by Old World and New World hantaviruses, respectively. Depending on the causative Old World hantavirus species, clinical course of HFRS can vary from mild to moderate to severe. At present, there is no specific therapy available for hantavirus disease. As the clinical course of hantavirus disease is dependent on the causing viral pathogen and as there worrisome hints that clinical course HFRS and HCPS overlap, further studies with regard to the disease course are mandatory. Furthermore, the examination of attributable mortality and costs of hantavirus disease will need to be studied on a multinational basis and therefore HantaReg will particularly use a matched case control design.
This research is being done because there is a need to improve cancer risk communication and decision-making among adolescents and young adults. In this study, the investigators are looking at whether using a chatbot and online portal for cancer risk information helps improve communication and decision-making. - Over 70,000 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. every year and up to 10% have genetic changes (or, mutations) that put them at a higher risk of developing new cancers during their lifetimes. These genetic mutations can result in cancer risk syndromes (such as, Lynch Syndrome or Li-Fraumeni Syndrome). Identifying cancer risk syndromes can allow for screening and early diagnosis of future cancers, which could ultimately save lives and offer more care choices for patients. As a result, genetic counseling and testing for cancer risk syndromes is being recommended more for Adolescents and Young Adults with new cancer diagnoses, regardless of family history. - This research study to develop an intervention called AYA-RISE that aims to assist AYAs with cancer risk communication and decision-making around their caregivers.
The study aims to investigate organ dysfunction and biomarkers in patients with suspected or verified COVID-19 during intensive care at Uppsala University Hospital.
Family members of critically ill (ICU) patients are at risk for developing significant symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress during and after the ICU experience. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of therapy that can help individuals cope with stressful events in a more active and effective way. This study will examine the effectiveness of a smartphone self-care app delivering cognitive behavioral therapy in decreasing the psychological symptoms suffered by ICU family members. Half of the sample will receive the self-care app and half of the study sample will receive the usual supportive care given to family members of ICU patients. The researchers anticipate the self-care app will diminish the severity of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms experienced by ICU family members.
Background: Proteus syndrome is a rare overgrowth disorder. Most people begin to have symptoms between 6 months and 2 years of age. There are very few living adults with this disease. There is also no known treatment for it. Researchers want to see if a new drug can slow down or stop overgrowth in people with Proteus syndrome. Objective: To learn if miransertib is a safe and effective treatment for Proteus syndrome. Eligibility: People ages 3 and older with Proteus syndrome Design: Participants will be screened with a medical checkup. They will answer questions about their medical history and current health. They will have a physical exam with vital signs. They will have an electrocardiogram to measure their heartbeat. They will give blood and urine samples. They will repeat the screening tests during the study. Participants will take a miransertib pill once a day. They will bring their empty pill bottles with them to the NIH when they visit. If they can t swallow a pill, researchers will try to find other ways for them to take the drug. Participants will have X-rays, ultrasounds, and imaging scans. Photos may be taken of their feet and other parts of the body that have or develop signs of Proteus syndrome. Participants will have lung function tests to measure how much and how fast air moves out of their lungs. Participants will complete surveys about their levels of pain, physical functioning, and quality of life. Participants may have additional tests performed to assess their individual disease. They may have consultations with other specialists. Participation lasts about 4 years. Participants will have 20-30 visits at the NIH....
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a condition that affects the oral mucosa; this is seen mainly in postmenopausal women. The intensity of burning and its clinical manifestations may be variable between patients. The etiology of the BMS is unknown, just as it is the therapeutic; hence the latter has not been fully accepted. Therefore, the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and topical clonazepam have been proposed as treatment alternatives. The objective is to assess the effectiveness of the combination of LLLT and topical clonazepam for the reduction of burning symptoms. Three groups will be randomly formed: 1) the first group will received topical clonazepam therapy (half of a 2 mg tablet), patients in this group will be asked to applied it in a mouthwash type for 3 minutes and then spit it out; to the same group, six sessions of LLLT (Biolase 10 ©) will be applied in every second day intervals; 2) the second group, will received the same treatment with clonazepam and laser therapies with similar characteristics to the study group, but the laser will be deactivated; 3) the third group, will receive six sessions of LLLT (Biolase 10 ©) in every second day intervals and placebo tablets with similar characteristics to those of clonazepam. For all groups, both treatments will be received for two weeks. For the assessment of oral burning the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) will be used; with these tools we will measure how oral disorders affect daily life. The measurement scales will be applied at the initial assessment and at day 14th, one month, two months and three months post treatment. The means obtained to assess the effectiveness of the treatment will be compared.
The goal of this research is to determine if the Tangible Boost system adequately replenishes the Hydra-PEG coating on the surface of a rigid contact lens. Hydra-PEG is a coating for soft and rigid contact lens, primarily composed of polyethylene glycol-based hydrogel, which is covalently bound to the surface of a contact lens. The Hydra-PEG coating is intended to improve wettability and comfort with contact lenses and is currently FDA approved on a number of contact lenses. For patients with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) (SS), or Graft versus Host disease (GVHD), diminished efficacy of the Hydra-PEG coating can lead to significant decline in satisfaction with the lenses over time. This is a prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of Tangible Boost, a monthly conditioning solution, to replenish the Hydra-PEG coating on rigid gas permeable contact lenses for patients with SJS, GVHD, and SS. Outcomes from this patient population will be compared to patients with dry eye disease.
The objective of this study is the description of the possible association between genetic mutation/aberration profiles, inflammatory tonus and clinical phenotype based on PROMs and HRQoL. Apart from gaining a better understanding of the causal correlation between genetics, sterile inflammatory processes and QoL (e.g. fatigue) in MDS, this study is supposed to identify potential novel biomarkers and, ultimately, therapeutic targets.
Diarrhea-predominant irritable boewl syndrome(IBS-D) seriously affect the quality of life in patients. Clinically, it is effective to apply therapeutic method of clearing heat and promoting diuresis to the common syndrome of dampness-heat. Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota is closely related to the immune imbalance and intestinal mucosal barrier injury. C1orf106/CYTH-1/ARF6 signal pathway, which derive from intestinal micro environment changes,is the mainly cause of intestinal mucosal barrier injury, and this is may be the common pathogenesis of dampness-heat syndrome in IBS-D . Based on the clinic, the project is to study the effect and mechanism of Chinese compound formula of clearing heat and promoting dieresis in modulating intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, repairing intestinal mucosal barrier and reconstructing intestinal microenvironment. With the combination of metagenomics and metabonomics, the study compare the differences of co-metabolites of intestinal microbiota and host within the healthy people, IBS-D patients with dampness-heat syndrome, to explore the relevance between intestinal flora and host co-metabolites. Furthermore, the experimental study is to clarify the drug targets via C1orf106/ CYTH-1/ARF6 signal pathway.Through the study of association between dampness-heat syndrome in IBS-D and intestinal microbiota, it is of important academic significance to reveal the Chinese theory intension of "homotherapy for heteropathy ".
