Filter by:The main purpose of this 12-week study is to see if a new combination of treatments can help older adults reduce benzodiazepine or related medication use. The treatment combination consists of 1) medical provider visits to gradually reduce the medication dose over 12 weeks, 2) acupuncture treatments, and 3) private yoga classes. Participants will be offered weekly visits for 12 weeks to receive combined treatments. Participants will be provided surveys before, during, and after the study to learn about their experience of the treatments. At the end of the study, participants will be invited to participate in a focus group to learn about their experience in the study.
This trial aims to explore whether the intraoperative use of remimazolam can reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in high-risk patients. According to the Apfel's simplified score, patients with 3 or more of the following factors are at high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), i.e., women, non-smokers, history of PONV, and postoperative use of opioids.
Benzodiazepine sedative hypnotics are commonly used intravenous anesthetics in clinical practice. Remimazolam is a new benzodiazepine with the characteristics of rapid onset, short maintenance and recovery time, no accumulation, metabolism independent of liver and kidney function, and no serious side effects, which has a good prospect for clinical application. Now we will study the effects of remimazolam on EEG and postoperative cognitive function ，in order to further understand the clinical application of remimazolam.
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged <21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
