Down's syndrome is genetic disorder caused by trisomy 21. Children with Down's syndrome are characterized by awkward movements, gait, increased flexibility of joints, timing of mastering of basic skills, under development of fine motor skills. Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) is a technique that uses interactive games as a physical therapy resource and has shown positive results in cortical reorganization, improving functional mobility, and quality of movement. This is an experimental study in which randomized controlled trials study design is being used.
Down syndrome occurs due to abnormal cell division of extra chromosome 21. It is a genetic disorder that causes postural un stability, leads to poor foot function and causes them difficulty that they can't fulfill their daily life activities and can't be independent. Strengthening exercise of lower limb and core strengthening of trunk muscle will provide postural stability and lower limb strengthening. Aim of this research is to determine the effects of manual Ankle rocking training on postural control and foot function in children with Down syndrome. Those who are diagnosed with down syndrome and are between age 8-15 and both of the genders are included in this research and those who have any surgical issue, visual impairment and musculoskeletal contractures are not included in the study we will use static standing balance test to check postural control and foot function index for Ankle rocking training from two group in which one will be given the baseline treatment of lower limb exercise and core strengthening with ankle rocking training and the other group without ankle rocking training and then the collected data will be analyzed by SPSS. 22
The etiology and precipitating factors of PNS remain unclear. Dysfunction of immunologic function is a classic theory of the pathogenesis of PNS. This study was aimed at investigating the characteristics of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and exploring its value of predicting infection in children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS).
This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of therapeutic ultrasound versus shockwave therapy on pain , range of motion and function in recreational runners with medial tibial stress syndrome so that we can formulate a better and most effective regime for treatment of medial tibial stress. Duration was of 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Ghurki Trust teaching hospital, horizon hospital and surgimed hospital. Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with shockwave and Group B were given baseline treatment along with therapeutic ultrasound. Assesment was done at baseline and at 2nd week and 6th week post-interrvention . Assessment was done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Lower Extermity functional scale LEFS ) and goniometric measurements of shoulder ranges, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.
The aorta is the principal arterial vessel arising from the left heart that transfers blood to the body. Certain genetic and familial disease processes are known to weaken the aortic wall resulting in dilation and potential rupture. These aortic complications carry high mortality (>25%) and current management is orientated towards early detection and preventive treatment. Aortic dilation can also result in aortic valve dysfunction leading to heart failure. The estimated UK incidence of aortic disease per year is around 10 per 100,000 individuals, with 2000 people per year dying from aortic complications. The 2017-2020 National Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit report identified the number of people receiving surgery for aortic dissection in Scotland is per population proportionately lower compared to England (4.6 per million per year in Scotland vs. 6.6 per million per year in England). The reasons for this are unclear but may relate to the prevalence of aortic disease or a large geographic distribution with compromised access to specialized centres. Currently surgery is recommended when the aortic diameter exceeds a certain threshold. There are several types of effective surgical procedures, but there is still limited information on their long-term outcomes and the advantage of one procedure over another. The aims of the project are firstly to determine the clinical outcomes of the surgical procedures that are currently employed in Scotland to treat proximal aortic disease and secondly to describe the prevalence and distribution of proximal aortic disease within the Scottish population. The project will be hosted by the Golden Jubilee Research Institute. Contemporary and retrospective data will be collected from all the Scottish Cardiothoracic Surgery units which are based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. This will be the first study to analyse surgical outcomes for ascending aortic disease in Scotland, and the first to describe the epidemiology of aortic disease within the population. It is anticipated that the results will guide current surgical practise, and provide data to inform national service provision for the management of proximal aortic disease.
This is an observational study in which data from people with functional gastrointestinal disorders who decide on their own or by recommendation of their doctors or pharmacists to take Iberogast Advance are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. Functional stomach and bowel (or gastrointestinal) disorders are conditions in which the functionality of the gut, mainly the gut muscles or the gut/brain axis, is disturbed. Functional stomach and bowel disorders cause symptoms like heartburn, cramps and pain of the upper and middle part of the belly, also known as functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS affects predominantly the lower digestive system and causes symptoms like pain of the belly, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Iberogast Advance is already available in German pharmacies without prescription for patients with gastrointestinal disorders such as FD and IBS. It contains herb extracts that work against inflammation, are calming, and protect the mucosa (innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract). Earlier controlled studies with Iberogast Advance have shown how well it works and how it affects the body. Since Iberogast Advance is only available since October 2020, there is no information on its use in the real-world setting yet. Therefore, the study researchers want to collect data on the use of Iberogast Advance in the real-world setting. To do this, people with long-term and repeated functional gastrointestinal symptoms who purchase Iberogast Advance from participating pharmacies across Germany will be asked to fill out a questionnaire optionally covering 6 weeks of treatment. The participants will take Iberogast Advance as recommended in the product information. The main purpose of this study is to see how well Iberogast Advance works and is perceived in the real-world setting. Participants will record how they experience a change of their gastrointestinal symptoms (assessed single-symptom-based) from start and during 6 weeks of treatment. Researchers will then compare the differences and analyze treatment effects. The researchers will additionally collect information on usage behavior, characteristics of the patients, their symptoms, tolerability and their satisfaction with Iberogast Advance. There will be no required tests or visits with a study doctor in this study. The researchers will collect the results of the patient questionnaires from Jun 2022 to January 2023.
The aim of this study is to use real-time continuous glucose monitoring (real-time CGM) system to get a 14-days blood glucose profile of the hospitalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to understand whether time in range (TIR) is associated with in-hospital outcomes of these patients. This study plans to recruit 100 patients. They will be randomly divided into 2 groups: real-time CGM group and capillary blood glucose monitoring group. All enrolled participants will receive standardized blood glucose management according to the "Expert consensus on blood glucose management of inpatients in China". The duration of the study will be 3 months. The primary endpoint is the average hospital stay and cardiac care unit (CCU) occupancy rate in T2DM patients with ACS. The secondary endpoint is a composite endpoint of nonfatal myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, heart failure rehospitalization, coronary revascularization, cardiovascular death, all-cause death.
The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) corresponds to the discovery of white matter (WM) abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS) by their location, size, and appearance, on the brain or spinal cord Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This imaging is performed for a reason other than for suspicion of demyelinating disease in subjects without a history of neurological symptoms and a strict routine clinical neurological examination. It was defined and named in 2009 (Okuda et al.) after publishing 3 case series (French, USA, Turkey). The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome Consortium (RISC) published a cohort of subjects with an extended follow-up after the first brain MRI of MS, with 34% presenting an event (clinical conversion) at five years, 51.2 % of these subjects showed an event at ten years. The patients who offer a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event were identified such as male sex, young age, the presence of oligoclonal bands (BOCs) in the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), the presence of infratentorial lesions and spinal cord lesions on the first MRI suggestive of RIS. The location and morphology of the lesions appear to be decisive for studying the risk of conversion. Our first objective is to prospectively collect data to identify the subjects who present a higher risk of developing a first clinical demyelinating event and the progression of the disease in these subjects. Among the objectives of this worldwide cohort is the analysis of (1) environmental factors (Vit D, EBV, tobacco…), (2) MRI biomarkers, including atrophy, central veins signs, paramagnetic rings, and DTI. (3) digital biomarkers (4) oculography (5) biological markers To summarize, this cohort will allow for analyzing features in imaging, biology and the exploration of digital and oculographic characteristics to identify predictive factors of clinical evolution of a large cohort of subjects presenting WM abnormalities suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
