Filter by:COHORT A: To study whether a digital health tool called Actigraph can be used to collect information on gait and physical activity in healthy children aged 3-17. The study will be conducted at the Pfizer Innovation Research Laboratory (PfIRe Lab) in Cambridge MA. In the lab at the first visit, we will ask participants to do activities such as walking on different surfaces as well as to roll a dice and move between different activity stations. Children will wear 2 Actigraph devices, one as a watch and one as a belt. They will then go home and do usual daily activities while answering a brief daily activity diary for approximately 2 weeks. The conclusion of the study will be over the telephone and include questions on the comfort and wearability of the device. The analysis of gait and physical activity as well as adherence and wearability will be looked across three different age groups 3-5, 6-11, and 12-17. COHORT B: Cohort B of the study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the Panoramic Bracelet and associated algorithms such as SleepPy and GaitPy compared to the GENEActiv device and to evaluate the comfort and wearability of the Panoramic Bracelet. The results of this study will enable the use of novel devices in future clinical trials measuring scratch and sleep. . In the lab at the first visit, we will ask participants to do activities such as walking on different surfaces as well as to roll a dice and move between different activity stations. They will then go home and do usual daily activities while wearing both devices in the same wrist at different times stipulated in the protocol, answering a brief daily activity and sleep diary for approximately 2 weeks. Cohort B includes questions on the comfort and wearability of the Panoramic device on Day 7 approximately. The conclusion of the study will be over the telephone.The analysis will be looked across three different age groups 3-5, 6-11, and 12-17
Baseball batting is important to winning the games. Baseball batting is achieved by proximal-to-distal sequencing of body movements and controlled by the neuromuscular system. Poor lumbopelvic control could influence production and transfer of energy in the kinetic chain. This study aims to investigate the effects of functional movement training on hitting mechanics and bat swing velocity in high school baseball players.
Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) are an opportunity offered by developing technology which in widely used among youths. The evidence regarding mHealth apps suggests that the apps can be safer and more feasible if are developed by healthcare team. Healthcare professionals have a major role to play in developing mHealth apps of good interventions.
We aim to determine whether pectoral nerve block (PECS) performed after induction of anesthesia but before surgical incision results less opioid use in the post operative period compared with local infiltration alone in children undergoing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) surgery.
Anxious school refusal (ASR) is a common disorder which concerns more and more adolescents who are at worse completely absent from school. A specific ambulatory cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) program has been established to gradually reintegrate the child back into the school environment with a multidisciplinary team. Alongside school reintegration assessment, the child's overall ability to function and anxiety levels will be measured before and after the program with additional assessments made after a further 6 and 12 months have elapsed.
Recent recommendations to return children's results for adult-onset conditions to parents anytime whole exome or genome sequencing is performed, as well as growing expectations to return research results to participants on a large-scale basis, mean adolescents will increasingly be engaged in assenting (<age 18) and consenting (>age 18) to return of genomic research results. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents' informational preferences and to create ethically informed, scalable processes that empower adolescents from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process about learning genomic results. This research will provide important insights into adolescents' choices, as well as the ethical, legal and societal implications of engaging adolescents in making choices about learning genomic results in genomic research and community-based research settings.
This is a test of an existing health insurance education program (HIEP) in adolescent and young adult (AYA) individuals (aged 18-39) diagnosed with cancer. The study will evaluate whether the HIEP delivered by patient navigators improves participants' health insurance and cost-related literacy compared to usual navigation care, which does not include education on insurance and medical costs. The study team hypothesizes that: The HIEP will improve participants' health insurance and cost-related literacy compared to usual navigation care. Specifically, that participants in the intervention arm will report greater 1) health insurance and cost literacy, including confidence with provider communication about costs, 2) familiarity with ACA policies, and 3) improvement in financial distress related to medical costs. Participants will fill out a survey upon enrollment and a follow up survey 3 months after meeting with a patient navigator where they may or may not receive the HIEP.
To observe the retinal microvascular alteration during 3 months follow-up after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) operation in moderate and high myopia patients using quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis.
Parental Smartphone Use Management Scale (PSUMS) was originally developed in English language to parents to educate adolescents and communicate with them about online behavior and safety, as well as to conduct plans to manage adolescents' internet and smartphone use. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the PSUMS.
Hidden drug abuse remains a significant concern for public health. An appropriate intervention is necessary to encourage hidden drug abusers to report their situations and seek professional help. This project aims to develop a community-based network to identify and refer hidden drug abusers in Hong Kong, and assess its effectiveness.
