Filter by:The investigators will be using a text messaging intervention to identify potentially dangerous and re- admission causing symptoms in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Each consented patient will receive weekly text messages inquiring about potentially harmful symptoms identified by a team of physicians. If the patient screens positive via text message, an alert will be sent to the medical team. All patients with SBS on TPN will receive text messages. The investigators will be monitoring response rates to text messages screening for potentially harmful symptoms and compare the text- message response rate to historical rates of successful calls by nurses. All patients with SBS on TPN will receive text messages instead of weekly phone calls from a nurse. If the patient does not respond to the text messages or the text message responses suggest that the patient may be presenting with potentially harmful symptoms, the nurse will call the patient to inquire about more information.
ACTIVE study- a prospective observational clinical study examining the changes in quality of life and pain following dorsal root ganglion stimulation for the treatment of chronic intractable pelvic and lower limb pain.
The outlook of a community-based intervention targeting nutrition and lifestyle behaviour modification among adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) has not been fully explored. The primary aim of this study (PERSUADE) is to evaluate the effect of the peer support intervention on the clinical outcomes MetS components followed by improvements in the participants' dietary practices, physical activity levels and lifestyle behaviours. The program constructed using information obtained from the published clinical and dietary guideline in Malaysia.
Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) is a rare cause of duodenal obstruction, that should be suspected in cases of chronic, refractory upper digestive symptoms. Between 2008 and 2016, 39 consecutive patients with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and a diagnosis of SMAS were prospectively included in the study, in order to describe their demographic, clinical and outcome features. All patients underwent duodenojejunostomy.
Part A:once weekly dosing for 4 weeks in patients with short bowel syndrome who require total parenteral nutrition; patients will complete period 1 and after a 6-10 week wash-out, they will enter period 2 (active treatment and placebo); Part B: treatment period 3, is an open label extension to part A and starts after a washout of 6-10 weeks after the last dose in treatment period 2. patients are dosed once weekly for 4 weeks.
There appears to be considerable variability in the approach physicians use to manage arterial carbon dioxide tensions, in patients in the early phases [first 48 hours] of ARDS (Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and). A number of specific concerns exist, particularly the use of greater than needed inspired oxygen concentrations (potentially in 40% patients), and the proportion of hypocapnic patients in our cohort.
To date, no studies have evaluated the safety or efficiency (improvement of maximal oxygen uptake [VO2peak]) of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in post-acute coronary syndrome (post-ACS) patients. Heart rate variability (HRV) and recovery (HRR), QT dispersion (QTd) and ventricular arrhythmias are all indices associated with an increased risk of cardiac death. HIIT has been shown to improve these risk markers and be safe in coronary heart disease patients but not yet in post-ACS patients which are considered more at risks. The aim of this study was to compare a HIIT program to a moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICET) program on HRV, HRR, QTd parameters and occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in post-ACS patients.
The abnormalities that characterize the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) confer an increased risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the commonest endocrine disease among women of childbearing age, have an increased risk of developing MetS. 2) The prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients varies among different ethnic groups. Malaysia is a unique country with a multiethnic population. The 3 largest ethnic groups are the Malays, Chinese and Indians. Previous studies in India and China have been able to determine the incidence of PCOS amongst those ethnic groups, but as yet, there is no published data on the prevalence of this disorder amongst women of Malay ethnicity. In this study, I intend to discover the prevalence of MetS amongst Malay women with established PCOS.
To compare the effect between the exercise intervention (strengthening exercise and stretching exercise) and exercise intervention with taping on decreasing round shoulder posture and improving symptoms in subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome/round shoulder syndrome.
Summary of the Project : Quitting smoking following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can reduce mortality up to 50%. However, depression and smoking are highly co-morbid and depressed mood may interfere with cessation and independently predicts mortality. Thus, a single, integrated treatment for both smoking and depression could be highly effective in reducing post-acute coronary syndrome mortality. Behavioral Activation (BA) is a well established treatment for depression and has recently shown promise as a treatment for smoking cessation. The investigators systematically developed an intervention integrating gold standard smoking cessation counseling with existing BA based mood management techniques for post-ACS smokers; Behavioral Activation Treatment for Cardiac Smokers (BAT-CS). Objective: For this R01 the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of using a single, integrated treatment that targets both depressed mood and smoking (BAT-CS).
