Effects of Empagliflozin compared with placebo in cardiorenal syndrome type 1, evaluated by MAKE30.
Introduction: Shoulder disorders are a common musculoskeletal problem causing pain and functional loss in different populations. Tendinopathies are a group of pathologies commonly diagnosed in patients with shoulder pain. Weakness of the rotator cuff musculature has already been documented in other studies, evidence in the literature suggests that patients with tendinopathies demonstrate decreased muscle activation, this is caused by pain, changes in nervous system processing and apparently also by structural processes that occur in the tendon .Treatment often involves resistance, isometric exercises aimed at altering pain and restoring function. Some studies have been investigating the use of ENMS (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) in patients undergoing surgical procedures on the shoulder, other studies have also investigated its use in tendinopathies of the lower limbs, as an effective way to decrease inhibition. Objective: The main objective of this study will be to analyze the muscle strength of internal and external rotation of symptomatic shoulders compared to asymptomatic ones when exposed to neuromuscular electrostimulation, associating muscle strength with joint function. Methodology: This will be a cross-sectional study. An expected total of 48 subjects will be divided into two groups, n=24 with tendinopathy of the rotator cuff, confirmed by clinical diagnosis and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the other group being healthy individuals, with no history of shoulder pain. These individuals will be evaluated by a first evaluator who will perform the eligibility of the subjects and collect the initial information, the second evaluator will perform the isometric strength evaluation with a manual dynamometer. Two batteries of tests will be performed in both groups, a conventional assessment of isometric strength and the other subject will be submitted to neuromuscular electrostimulation. These strength values in Kgf were normalized for each individual, being divided by the body mass index (BMI) and multiplied by 100, as already performed in previous studies. Expected results: The initial hypothesis is that patients who present with the studied condition when submitted to the strength test with muscular electrostimulation will demonstrate greater isometric strength than when they were tested without the device.
Introduction: Due to the worldwide ageing population and the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses and cognitive deficits, appropriate instruments for frailty early screening and assessment of geriatric syndromes are required. Digital tools based on artificial intelligence can help improve the evaluation and screening of health risks in the older adults. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the PRESAGE CARE questionnaire in screening geriatric syndromes among older adults and to assess its correlation with standardized test scores of the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Methods: A monocentric prospective observational study will be conducted between October 2023 and July 2024, on seniors who are in the day hospitalization service of Charles-Foix hospital in France. During the consultation with older adults, the investigators will ask the patient's home caregiver to use the PRESAGE CARE application to fill in the PRESAGE CARE questionnaire. Once the questionnaire will be completed on the application, the PRESAGE platform will automatically recorde specific risks for each senior. Subsequently, the investigators will retrieve the data from standardized tests conduct on the same day and enter the results for each patient into the platform. The primary outcome will be the correlation between standardized test scores and the risks computed by the Presage Care system for the risk of depression, the risk of undernutrition, the risk of cognitive impairment and the risk of loss of autonomy in activities of daily living. Secondary outcome will be the comparison of the Area Under the Median Curve (AUC), and the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models on the Présage Care questionnaire.
Investigators aim to compare the effects of early and late time-restricted feeding on overweight adults with metabolic syndrome
Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) is a neurological condition with bran network dysregulation involving the visual pathway. This is a research trial comparing the effect of an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention via a group-learning course, the MBCT-vision programme, to treat Visual Snow Syndrome, compared to people on a standard care (wait-list control). Participants will be randomly allocated to either the Treatment group (MBCT-vision), or the Control group (wait-list control). After a waiting period, people allocated to the Control group will also be offered the MBCT-vision treatment. The primary outcome is to compare the severity of the visual symptoms on a 0 to 10 scale between the two groups.
The objective of this study is to test the idea that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy will serve as a safe therapeutic modality that can effectively be administered simultaneously with bladder instillations of a bupivacaine-heparin cocktail to improve the chronic pain and/or associated symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) patients. The study team will distribute the PEMF device to female adults with IC/BPS who have been prescribed bladder instillations of bupivacaine-heparin to see if PEMF therapy in conjunction with bladder instillations of heparin and bupivacaine may be more effective in reducing pain levels and symptomatology of IC/BPS than instillations alone.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of ketogenic diet in patients with MELAS syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Clarify the curative effects of ketogenic diet in the treatment of MELAS disease. Prevent the aggravation of MELAS disease, and improve the quality of life of patients. Provide reliable evidence-based medical basis for the clinical application of ketogenic diet in the treatment of MELAS syndrome patients. The clinical data of the participants treated with ketogenic diet will be collected, including the completion of ketogenic diet and clinical data at the start of treatment and after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months
This study will be building on the findings of Kalfas et al 2022 paper exploring the prevalence of generalised worry in patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) before and after Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The research was conducted in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust's (SLaM) Persistent Physical Symptoms Research and Treatment Unit. Previous research has indicated a bidirectional relationship between fatigue and worry (Kalfas et al., 2022); the findings of this paper suggest both that many ME/CFS patients experience comorbid problematic generalised worry and that there is a positive association between severity of worry and levels of fatigue (Kalfas et al, 2022). It appears that CBT for ME/CFS indirectly treats worry, however effect sizes are small to moderate, and treatment outcomes may improve if CBT treatments incorporate strategies that target generalised worry (Kalfas et al 2022). The aims of this project are to further explore worry in this group of patients through qualitative methods.
The study aimed to determine the effects of neuro-dynamic techniques on upper limb motor and sensory functions and to compare the effects of slider versus tensioner neuro-dynamic techniques on upper limb motor and sensory functions in pronator teres syndrome. The neuro-dynamic techniques is not common as a part of conventional therapy in neurological physical therapy practice so the study aims to compare the effects of both neuro-dynamic mobilization techniques on pronator teres syndrome.
