Filter by:Purpose: to observe the possible benefits produced by conventional therapy through virtual reality with the Nintendo Switch to try to improve motivation and increase the degree of care satisfaction. The aim is to improve postural control in both seated and standing positions and to maintain and improve cognitive capacity. Material and methods: one group (experimental group) will receive a total of 8 one-hour sessions or 16 half-hour sessions, depending on their individual needs, for 8 weeks using the Nintendo Switch. The other group (control group) will continue to receive their conventional scheduled therapy. Measures: Abilhand, MEC-Lobo, FIST, Fugl-Meyer, Berg Balance Scale and CSQ-8.
The aim of the study is to verify the reliability of the current purely clinical examination of the pupils (without the support of a pupillometer) in the context of clinically suspected brain death, compared to the results of a non-invasive, automated, and highly precise monocular pupillometric examination.
The goal of this study is to test whether active duty firefighters find it possible and suitable to do cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) at home, and test whether CES influences measures of stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is CES feasible and acceptable in a population of firefighters, and - does CES changes feelings of fatigue, anxiety, and brain connectivity in firefighters. Participants will - complete four weeks of CES at home, and - complete daily assessments of fatigue and anxiety, and maybe asked to - complete an MRI scan before and after CES, and - wear a device to measure their heart rate and sleep quality.
This study is a single-arm early exploratory clinical study. designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GT201 in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor for the treatment of advanced head neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) subjects with safety and tolerability, as well as pharmacokinetic characterization and efficacy The study consists of two phases. The study consists of two phases, a dose-escalation phase and a dose-expansion phase.
Flavanols are compounds present in plants, including apples, berries, peaches, cocoa-derived products and certain beverages like tea. Following intake, they are absorbed and broken down into smaller compounds called 'metabolites'. Some of these metabolites are excreted in urine. In this study, we hope to collect urine and examine the metabolites to learn more about the types and amounts of flavanols that people are consuming as part of their usual diet.
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the DESQ and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking adults.
Progressive deformity from the optimal spinal curvatures is a degenerative disorder related to progressive ageing that affects an increasing number of adults. This is one of the main affectations on the health of adults, being its cause multifactorial. That is why a totally effective intervention has not yet been found that allows obtaining a substantial improvement in all the adults who suffer from it. However, certain physical programs that include mind-body work have been effective, but research is limited and the results are inconclusive. For this reason, this research arises, in which a training protocol has been designed using an instrument called Xiaxi with which the body-mind work is prioritized. The aims of this study were: 1) to evaluate the effects of a 12-weeks Xiaxi® exercise program on the sagittal spinal disposition and hamstring extensibility of adults, and 2) to determine whether the weekly training frequency influenced the changes found on sagittal spinal disposition and hamstring extensibility with Xiaxi® training program. The present investigation is composed of two data collections that will be carried out before and after a twelve-week intervention. Two intervention groups and a control group make up the sample, with one of the intervention groups attending Xiaxi training once a week and the other intervention group twice a week. The control group will only attend the measurements, but will not participate in the intervention.
This project aims to clarify the mechanisms underpinning the acute analgesic effect of exercise in healthy humans-a phenomenon called "Exercise-induced hypoalgesia" (EIH). This study will characterize, using a within-subject cross-over design, the effects of a single session of aerobic exercise vs. a control condition on the sensitivity to stimuli preferentially activating mechano vs. heat-sensitive nociceptors of the skin vs. muscle, within vs. outside exercising body parts. The investigators hypothesize (1) that EIH will be greater in the exercise session compared to the control session, (2) that EIH will be greater at the local site compared to the remote site if local changes in nociceptive sensitivity contribute to EIH, and (3) that exercise will preferentially affect blunt pressure-induced pain if EIH involves specific changes in sensitivity of muscle nociceptors.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of powdered skim milk containing A2 β-casein only versus conventional powdered skim milk containing A1 and A2 β-casein milk on cognition, inflammation, and dietary intake in adults aged 65-75 years.
Noninvasive measurement of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation levels by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is clinical routine in perioperative medicine. One of the main technical challenges of NIRS measurements is to eliminate the influence of signals of the skin and skull. A new device (RheoPatch, Luciole Medical AG, Zurich) has been developed by a company that also developed an intracranial NIRS probe, which allowed measurements directly in the brain and thus improved algorithms for elimination of the extracranial signals. The investigators aim to determine baseline values and performance of the new device (RheoPatch) compared with a more established NIRS device (NIRO-200NX, Hamamatsu Phototonics, Hamamatsu City, Japan)
