Objectives: Evaluation of endodontic treatment success is largely based on radiographical assessment of anatomical and treatment-related parameters of teeth with apical periodontitis (AP). This study aimed to analyse 2-year treatment outcomes of teeth with AP based on radiographical changes, and to evaluate prognostic validity of Periapical and Endodontic Status Scale (PESS). Materials and Methods: 128 patients (176 teeth) were examined by cone-beam computed tomography at baseline and in 24 months after endodontic treatment. Treatment outcome was evaluated using estimates of periapical radiolucencies in size, relation with anatomical structures and location. Strength of associations between these and treatment-related parameters was tested by logistic regression analysis. Predictive validity of PESS was verified by estimating association between treatment risk groups defined at baseline and negative outcome.
This project will determine the feasibility and validity of measuring elbow muscle flexor stiffness in a population of patients with sub-acute severe acquired brain injury using two measurement methods, the portable spasticity assessment device (PSAD) (Movotec, Charlottenlund, Denmark) and an ultrasound measurement called shear wave sonoelastography (SWE).
This clinical trial is a clinical trial for the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood (UCB) therapy, UCB and erythropoietin (EPO) combination therapy in adult stroke patients.
The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effects of supervised exercise therapy and education on the immediate response to using a soft knee brace in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
This study included patients who suffered from moderate to severe axillary osmidrosis to receive the modified suction-assisted cartilage shaver, and evaluated the efficacy and complications.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term follow-up of the overall and melanoma-specific survival in the randomised, open-lable multicenter trial (NTC NCT01183936) comparing excision margin of 2 cm versus 4 cm for patients with primary cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) thicker than 2 mm. Study hypothesis: The hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two treatment arms measured as melanoma-specific survival and overall survival.
Cross-sectional Feasibility study on all consecutive patients of locally advanced cancer of the cervix or vault treated entirely at Tata Memorial Centre with curative intent radiation or chemoradiation.
Exposure therapy, including its self-directed forms, is effective for treatment of specific phobias. Nevertheless, there are issues with patient adherence in the use of exposure therapy, including its self-directed formats. Technological advancements, as with smartphones, may improve adherence to self-directed exposure therapy, perhaps due to exposure stimuli being more readily accessible. Thus, there is a need to examine how presenting phobic material on a smartphone might promote increased adherence in conducting self-directed exposure. Additionally, exposure can incorporate phobic material from different perspectives (i.e., first-person or third-person), which is one factor that may impact treatment effectiveness. Participants will be randomly assigned to a treatment or control condition, and complete a pre-assessment and then a post-assessment two weeks later. The assessment consists of a multimodal approach (e.g., self-report, physiological response, and overt behavior). Participants in the treatment condition will be instructed to watch a standard exposure video of a dental examination and prophylaxis three times daily for two weeks. One week of videos was shown in a first-person perspective and the same video will be shown in a third-person perspective for one week. The study can demonstrate the potential utility of smartphone-based self-directed exposure therapy for specific phobia.
