Filter by:Specific Aim #1: To identify, through qualitative research, deficits in positive emotional states (e.g., positive affect, optimism) and associated barriers to completing health behaviors, like physical activity and healthy eating, in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Hypothesis: Participants will be able to complete semi-structured interviews, providing information about their positive emotional states, linking the presence of positive emotions to better adherence to health-related behaviors, and identifying additional barriers (e.g., logistic, motivational) to completing such behaviors.
The main objective of this study is to measure the effect (at 3 months) of dyspnea control rehabilitation with nasal ventilation versus standard rehabilitation, in dyspneic patients with hyperventilation syndrome.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, with a prevalence of approximately 5-10%. Polycystic ovary syndrome is diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria by at least two of the following three key features: oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism; the presence of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound and exclusion of other endocrine disorders including hyperprolactinemia, thyroid dysfunction and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Polycystic ovary syndrome is also associated with insulin resistance, obesity and disorders of lipid metabolism, as well as infertility, although these findings have not been addressed in the Rotterdam criteria. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the major cause of anovulatory infertility. The recent studies suggest that anovulation resulting from ovarian follicle abnormalities in Polycystic ovary syndrome patients are 2-fold of normal ovaries. Firstly, early follicular growth is excessive, thus women with Polycystic ovary syndrome are characterized by an excessive number of small antral follicles (2- to 3-fold of normal ovaries). Secondly, the selection of one follicle from the increased pool of selectable follicles and its further maturation to a dominant follicle does not occur. This second abnormality in the folliculogenesis can cause menstrual dysfunction presented as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Historically, Polycystic ovary syndrome treatment has not been curative in nature, instead treatments focus on resolution of clinical manifestations of the disease.
Investigators will implement a novel cassava processing method (wetting method, WTM) that safely removes cyanogenic compounds from cassava flour prior to human consumption in a stratified village-cluster randomized non-inferiority trial so as to compare the effectiveness of a peer-led intervention (women training other women in the WTM) with that by community-health worker specialists.
Subjects between 14 and 40 years of age referred to physical therapy with a diagnosis of PFPS will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group (PFPS) will be treated pragmatically. The second group (PFPS+DN) will receive the same pragmatic approach with the addition of dry needling intervention. The dry needling intervention will be delivered based on the treating physical therapist's examination of the patient's soft tissue mobility deficits, muscle activation deficits, or referred pain patterns.
the investigators propose to carry out a prospective study consisting of a systematic research of digestive symptoms in patients with SGSp with the validated Global symptom score (GSS) questionnaire, which allowed to grades severity of 10 digestive symptoms (absent, mild, moderate, or severe), asthenia and fever.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure in women with both OSA and polycystic ovarian syndrome will improve the regularity of the women's menstrual cycles.
This database will be used to better understand the sleep problems of people with SMS. This clinical database will be a part of a larger Smith-Magenis Patient Registry used to create an awareness campaign around SMS and the sleep disturbances that are characteristic of the disorder.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether LIK066 can be developed for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in overweight and obese women.
This is a Phase 2, two-stage study of the safety and efficacy of pracinostat in combination with azacitidine in patients with IPSS-R high and very high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are previously untreated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Enrollment in this study will be limited to high/very high risk MDS because this group represents the highest unmet need, with median survival of less than 18 months. Stage 1a will be conducted as an open-label single arm in up to 40 subjects to assess if this regimen with a lower pracinostat dose results in a discontinuation rate that meets a predefined threshold and in efficacy that justifies expansion of enrollment into Stage 1b. A discontinuation rate of approximately ≤10% in Stage 1a, a rate comparable to that observed with azacitidine alone in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703), supports expansion into Stage 1b. Stage 1b will be conducted as expansion of stage 1a. Approximately 20 additional subjects will be enrolled. Study drugs should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. It is important to note that the median time to achieving a response with azacitidine alone is 4 to 5 months. Furthermore, the median time to achieving a Complete Response (CR) in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703) was 4 cycles. Therefore, early (<6 months) discontinuation of trial therapy for 'no response' should be avoided. The Medical Monitor should be contacted prior to discontinuing a subject from the study to discuss the rationale for discontinuation.
