Filter by:This will be a multi-center, two arm study in 66 healthy adults. Subjects will complete a screening visit (V1, Day -7) to determine eligibility for the study based on Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria, patient history and safety measures. Eligibility confirmation will be done on visit 2 (Day 1). Patients successfully completing screen will be assigned to either of the two treatments. Subjects will receive the treatment for at-home use and will also be given diaries for recording information of medication, and adverse events. At 2 different intervals i.e. Day 30 and Day 60 (V3, V4) subjects will return to the clinic to review and collect patient diaries, safety data and medication reconciliation. Efficacy and safety assessments will be done at baseline, Day 30 and Day 60 .
Rationale: Physiological motion of the cervical spine is a subject of interest for medical specialists. Segmental range of motion (sROM) has been most commonly used to define motion but inter- and intra-variability is large. Therefore, a sequence of segmental contributions in the lower cervical spine during the second half of extension has been defined in healthy participants (uniform in 80-90%). The mean age of these participants was 23 years. Since cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) occurs more often in elderly patients, it is of paramount importance to study whether this sequence remains present during aging, regardless of losing 0.11 degrees of sROM each year. Objective: To investigate if the normal sequence of segmental contributions in the lower cervical spine during the second half of extension (C4-C5 followed by C5-C6, and then C6- C7) is also present in asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age by using cinematographic recordings. Study design: Fundamental research Study population: Eleven asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age, without a medical history of neck problems, with a score of 4 or less on the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and without severe degenerative changes based on a score of 3 or less on the radiological Kellgrens' classification. Intervention: Two flexion and extension cinematographic recordings of the cervical spine with a two-week interval between recordings. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint: Defining the cervical spines' physiological motion pattern by analysing the normal sequence of segmental contributions in the lower cervical spine (C4-C5 followed by C5-C6, and then C6-C7) during the second halfof extension in asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age. Secondary endpoint: Determine sROM of C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7 by analysing the flexion and extension cinematographic recordings in asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participants receive cinematographic recordings twice. There will be no follow-up.
This study is an observational study designed to adopt a cross-sectional study design. In the context of China's longevity town (East Asian population), Yongfu, Guangxi, the background of non-medical care and antibiotic use was explored, and the intestinal microecological balance increased with age and natural health. Longevity relationship. This study was completed using a household survey. Through routine clinical examinations and analysis of biochemical laboratory indicators, at the same time, a questionnaire for ADL(activities of daily living), cognitive function, and related elderly information was carried out on the elderly to comprehensively provide health information for each elderly. Based on the remaining stool samples and serum samples, the second-generation sequencing technology and other omics-based technologies were explored. No additional collection of human specimens and information is involved. In addition, this study also hopes to explore the transmission rules of age-related bacteria in long-lived families, and the relationship with health phenotypes such as blood sugar, blood lipids, and cognitive function. Potential impact. In summary, this study will provide data support for exploring the relationship between healthy longevity and intestinal microecological balance based on the characteristic population of the longevity hometown.
Brain health and cognitive functioning can be affected by aging. Exercise is a potentially effective method for promoting "successful brain aging" by improving cardiovascular fitness, brain function and possibly sleep quality. This project will measure the effects of exercise on brain health and attempt to develop a better way to track brain health, by measuring brain activity during sleep.
This study is being conducted to test if a program with physical activity and learning about movement (including goal setting, benefits of physical activity, and how to increase physical activity gradually) helps people to become more active and to move better. The physical activity program involves specific exercises done in a group setting, and the education part will involve learning about different ways to move to make everyday activities easier. The program will last 16 weeks. This program will take place in a large fellowship area of a partner church through an established community-based participatory research partnership in Chicago, IL.
This pilot work will determine the feasibility of tDCS intervention as an effective adjunct intervention to PT aimed at improving gait, balance, and mobility in older adults at risk of falling.
This study will test the central hypothesis that postmenopausal women will demonstrate increased oxygen extraction in active leg muscle during leg cycling exercise while receiving an infusion of Esmolol, a fast-acting β1 selective antagonist, when compared to premenopausal women
This study will assess the use and impact of the affordable 'Joy for All' robot pets for older people with and without dementia living in the care homes in South West England. Robot pets such as Paro have shown potential in improving wellbeing (including reduced agitation, loneliness, medication use, anxiety and depression), however previous work conducted by the investigators suggests Paro is less acceptable to older adults than alternative devices; the Joy for All cat and dog. Paro is also much more expensive (£5000 compared to £100) limiting its use within the real world, and limiting the number of people able to benefit. The investigators therefore wish to explore the potential of these more affordable robots in achieving wellbeing benefits.
The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of virtual reality (VR) on the different parameters, happiness, quality of life and functional fitness, among older population. The study aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial, where the participants in intervention group will use VR and those in control group do not use VR.
Stylage® XL Lidocaïne is a CE-marketed hyaluronic acid gel indicated for the restoration or augmentation of facial volume by injection into the deep dermis or subcutaneously. Lidocaine hydrochloride is intended to reduce the pain associated with the injection. In this study 40 healthy subjects between the age of 30 and 65 years, presenting a volume deficit on the face as evaluated by the investigator at inclusion in the study, who have given his/her informed consent and met all the eligibility criteria, will be enrolled. Subjects will come to a total of 6 visits over a period of 18 months and a screening visit prior to baseline injection. The facial volume variation after baseline injection will be assessed. Treatment responders rate, Global Aesthetic Improvement, volume on the cheekbones, volume on the chin and chin angle (for applicable subjects), subject's satisfaction and safety will be also assessed.
