Filter by:The goal of this multi-site observational study is to compare delirium rates, days on mechanical ventilation, and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) rates in adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. The study will examine patients whose sedation and analgesia infusion titration is managed with both Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) and Processed Electroencephalography (pEEG) monitoring vs patients who receive RASS monitoring alone. The main questions are: - Compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of sedation and analgesic in patients who are ventilated reduce the average number of delirium days, measured by Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)? - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring alone if the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of Intravenous (IV) sedation and analgesia in ventilated patients reduces the days a patient spends on a mechanical ventilator when compared to RASS only monitoring from retrospective data. - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience lower doses of sedation and analgesia infusions? - To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience less incidence and duration of PICS?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of LAM-001 in patients who have developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a form of chronic rejection, after lung transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is LAM-001 safe in these patients? - Is LAM-001 effective in slowing BOS progression? Participants will: - Be randomly assigned to inhale either LAM-001 or placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) daily for 48 weeks - Attend 10 study visits (mixture of in-person and telehealth) over the 48 week period - Undergo pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, lab testing, and physical examination - Submit weekly home spirometry monitoring Researchers will compare participants assigned to LAM-001 versus placebo to see if LAM-001 is safely tolerated and to assess the effectiveness of LAM-001 on slowing BOS progression.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by the presence of trigger points in muscles and fascia in various parts of the body. Due to the pain, it has negative effects on function, restricting movements and daily life activities. Several invasive and non-invasive methods with proven effectiveness are described in the management of myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, investigators aimed to compare the effect of kinesiotaping with dry needling and lidocaine injection treatment. İnvestigators hypothesized, that the effect of kinesiotaping have similar results compared to the invasiv treatment methods in the treatment of MPS. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome in the upper trapezius were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into three groups. Twenty-two patients were randomly selected among patients who received kinesiotaping treatment (n:22). Twenty-two patients who received dry needling treatment (group 2) and 22 patients who received lidocaine injection treatment were randomly selected as controls. Patients were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Short Form (SF-36) scales, which were completed before and 3 weeks after the treatment.
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.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses a continuum of clinical situations secondary to acute myocardial ischemia. In France, it is a major health problem and represented 60,000 to 65,000 hospitalizations in 2010. In 2015, a diagnosis of ACS was made in 15 to 25% of patients consulting for chest pain in emergency medicine. The incidence of ACS is estimated between 80,000 and 100,000 new cases per year. At the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Réunion, acute chest pain is the leading cause of discharges from the Mobile Emergency and Resuscitation Service (SMUR). In 2019, it represented 23% of exits, 8.5% of which concerned SCAs. The SCA can be anxiety-provoking due to its unexpected and brutal nature. Pain related to myocardial ischemia generates anxiety. This increases when patients associate these pains with death. This anxiety is exacerbated by waiting times for care, especially for patients living in rural areas. In addition, conditions relating to medical care such as noise and the pre-hospital medical environment are perceived as influencing anxiety by patients. The prevalence of anxiety is high, ranging from 30 to 48.5%, in patients with chest pain and/or ACS. A 2020 meta-analysis revealed that anxious patients at the start of their ACS treatment had an increased risk of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, rehospitalization, recurrence of ACS and the need for coronary revascularization repeated. Overall, ACS patients with anxiety have a 21% increased risk of mortality and 47% increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to those without anxiety. Pre-hospital anxiolytic treatment is therefore essential and consists above all in reassuring the patient with ACS. Medicated anxiolytics are often combined with analgesics and recommended in front of a picture of agitation due to anxiety. However, negative effects may interfere, making clinical monitoring of these patients unsuitable. At the same time, several studies note that anxiety is underdiagnosed and undertreated in the care of these patients. In reducing the anxiety of patients with ACS, unconventional care techniques such as aromatherapy or touch massage have demonstrated their effectiveness. Music therapy is recognized in reducing the anxiety of patients in intensive care or Cardiology. To the knowledge, in France, the effect of a musical intervention on patients with pre-hospital ACS has not yet been studied. It is in this context that the MuSCA study takes place.
Primary Mitochondrial diseases are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations in genes encoded by nuclear Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or by mutations and/or deletions in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). While some mitochondrial disorders only affect a single organ (e.g., the eye in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy [LHON]), many involve multiple organs. Mitochondrial disorders may present at any age and a frequent feature is the increasing number of organs involved in the course of the disease. Minovia Therapeutics Ltd. ("Minovia") is a biotech company developing novel therapeutics based on its mitochondrial augmentation technology (MAT). MNV-201 is a cell therapy produced by MAT that consists of the participant's autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) enriched with allogeneic placental-derived mitochondria, manufactured in Minovia's GMP facility.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) can significantly affect an individual's ability perform to functional activities, such as walking, running, climbing stairs, and sitting for prolonged periods. PFPS is often associated with pain and discomfort in the front of the knee, which can limit an individual's range of motion and cause difficulty with weight-bearing activities. The pain may also be exacerbated by activities that involve bending the knee, such as squatting or kneeling. Whole body vibration (WBV) has been suggested as a potential intervention for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Some studies have shown that WBV can improve muscle strength, balance, and proprioception, which are all factors that may contribute to PFPS. Additionally, WBV may help reduce pain and improve functional abilities in individuals with PFPS However, the evidence for the effectiveness of WBV as an intervention for PFPS is still limited, and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and limitations. It is important to note that WBV may not be suitable for all individuals with PFPS.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a common health problem among men and can cause severe quality of life. The pathophysiology of CPPS is still poorly understood and effective treatments are a challenging issue. This study aims to investigate the possible relationship between the presence of microorganisms in the prostatic fluid and symptom severity by presenting a retrospective analysis based on data from CPPS patients.
Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) occurs as a sequelae after acute infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 infection). PCS is defined as symptom persistence over a period of 12 weeks from infection and/or the appearance of new symptoms in this period. While the majority of affected patients experience a gradual healing process without targeted treatment, the need for effective medical rehabilitation is high at least for patients with persistent PCS. Given that physical exercise has been shown to be beneficial in multiple pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases, neuropathic disorders, and pulmonary diseases it has been suggested that physical exercise including aerobic training could exert beneficial effects also in PCS. This study aims to analyse the use of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training for medical rehabilitation of PCS patients.
