Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and mediators of Forensic Outpatient Systemic Therapy (FAST).
The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding T-cell lymphoma. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about how to improve outcomes for people with T-cell lymphoma.
The research, was planned in a randomized controlled design, aiming to evaluate the effect of the training given to nurses working in psychiatric clinics on the use of aggression and BVC (Broset Violence Checklist) on the nurses' perceptions of aggression and the compliance of the use of BVC, which they evaluated for the patients watched in the videos, with the BVC determined by expert opinion. The study was conducted in Adana Doctor Ekrem Tok Mental Health and Diseases Hospital between July 2021 and April 2022. A total of 97 nurses working in psychiatric clinics, 47 in the training group and 50 in the comparison group, participated in the study. A pre-test was administered to the nurses and nurses in the training group were randomized and given training including aggression and BVC use. After the training, a post-test was administered to all nurses.
Despite decades of mounting single-case-design evidence for the efficacy of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and other approaches for the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior, an evidence-based comprehensive approach remains to exist. The current study will collect test the efficacy of a standardized manual for assessing and treating challenging behavior for individuals with severe and mild challenging behavior.
Although highly effective, treatments like FCT include extinction, which can have adverse side effects. The extinction burst, an increase in the frequency or intensity of destructive behavior at the start of treatment, is the most common side effect of extinction, and can increase the risk of harm to the patient and others. The goal of the current study is to evaluate the prevalence of extinction bursts when various parameters of reinforcement (i.e., rate, magnitude, quality) are manipulated.
The investigators are studying how certain drugs can reduce anger outbursts in people with anger problems. In this study the investigators seek to determine if a single 34 mg (two 17 mg tablets) oral dose of the 5-HT2a receptor blocker, pimavanserin, will reduce aggressive responding in individuals with impulsive aggression (Intermittent Explosive Disorder: IED) on a laboratory task that assesses aggression (Taylor Aggression Paradigm: TAP). We will also be examining how this drug impacts hostile social cognition e.g., hostile attribution). If pimvanserin reduces aggression in this study a next step would be a placebo-controlled treatment trial of pimavanserin in study participants with IED. Participation will first involve a remote (e.g., TEAMS) screening session. If potential study participants appear eligible they will come into the lab for an in-person session where participants will complete interviews and questionnaires and have a medical evaluation (including a physical exam, electrocardiogram, and screens for alcohol and drug use). During the next study session, participants will complete a diagnostic interview and a series of questionnaires, all of which can all take place on-line. During the next two sessions (which will be in-person) participants will undergo two (2) study sessions during which study participants will be given a study drug (orally). The drug given, pimavanserin, is currently available and is known to block serotonin receptors thought to be involved in regulating anger. After participants take the study drug, study participants will complete questionnaires and computer tasks for assessment of aggression and of hostile social cognition. Each of these two in-person study sessions will take at least eight (8) hours. A final on-line session will be done to make certain the investigators have all the data required by the study protocol.
The goal of this study is to help build the evidence base for a locally-relevant youth firearm violence prevention program in Washington D.C., a city experiencing disparities in youth firearm violence outcomes. The main question it aims to answer is: How is youth participation in the summer youth employment program, the True Reasons I Grabbed the Gun Evolved from Risk (The T.R.I.G.G.E.R Project), which is designed to address root causes of gun violence, associated with individual youth behavioral outcomes, including pro-social involvement, aggression, and firearm-related attitudes and behaviors?
To learn if an MRSI can be performed on a 3T scanner using an investigational contrast drug called hyperpolarized 13-C pyruvate. 3T refers to the "strength" of the MRI machine.
This is Phase I/II Dose-Escalation Study to evaluate the tolerability, safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of PPMX-T003 in aggressive NK-cell leukemia.
Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) occurs as a consequence of the rapid destruction of malignant cells, spontaneously and/or in response to cytotoxic agents and immunotherapies. TLS is a feature of highly proliferative diseases with heavy tumor burden, such as high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL, typically Burkitt's lymphoma). We evaluated fractionating first rituximab dose to prevent TLS in a real-life B-cell NHL cohort of patients treated at University Hospital of Geneva between 2010 and 2020.
