Studies underline both the importance of the link and contact that occurs in the earliest days of life and the need to involve parents early with their premature child. However, the impact of parental nutrition on the later active nutrition and on the quality of parent-child interactions is currently unknown. PREMIAM study investigates whether active parental participation in enteral nutrition improves the interactions between the infant and his parents, making them more sensitive to their baby's signals and promoting their relational adjustment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Furmonertinib in EGFR mutated NSCLC patients with leptomeningeal metastasis and to explore the feasibility of CSF ctDNA detection for efficacy evaluation. Participants will be treated with 160mg Furmonertinib daily and tumor evaluation will be performed every 6-8 weeks. The participants' blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples will be collected three times during the study for ctDNA detection.
This study is a non-randomized observation and comparison of immune response between bacteriologically confirmed TB patients under treatment cohort who received COVID-19 vaccine (n=54) vs healthy individuals (n=54). Each participant will receive single or double doses of one of COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, AstraZeneca vaccine or Janssen Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine) in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm. Study Duration approximately 1 year. The main focus of this study is to compare the humoral and cellular immunological responses of the COVID-19 vaccines between bacteriologically confirmed TB patients under treatment vs healthy individuals. This study is funded by the Wellcome Trust. The grant reference number is 220211/A/20/Z.
Pulmonary hypertension is a common clinical syndrome, which seriously affects the quality of life and survival of patients. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) to ≥20 mmHg at rest as measured invasively by right heart catheterisation (RHC). Pulmonary hypertension can be divided into five types, among which pulmonary hypertension caused by chronic pulmonary diseases and/or hypoxia is called Group 3 pulmonary hypertension, which is the most important factor of pulmonary heart disease. The drugs currently used to treat patients with PAH (prostanoids, endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, sGC stimulators) have not been sufficiently investigated in Group 3 PH, except indirect treatment methods such as improving hypoxia and controlling infection. Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) is a biological agent with a molecular weight of 3664Da synthesized by DNA technology. It is availble in China. It has many functions such as diuresis, vasodilation, inhibition of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems, etc. RhBNP has been suggested in patients with acute myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. In view of the dilating effect of rhBNP on pulmonary vessels, it is speculated that rhBNP may reduce type 3 pulmonary hypertension. Based on this hypothesis, we conducted a preliminary clinical trial. The results showed that, compared with the placebo group, after rhBNP was continuously pumped for 24 hours, the pulmonary artery hemodynamic indexes continuously monitored by Swan-Ganz catheter were significantly improved. In view of the pharmacological effect of rhBNP and our previous clinical trial results, this study intends to conduct a prospective, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhBNP in the treatment of patients with group 3 pulmonary hypertension.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a family wellness program enhances child and parenting outcomes among Latino dual language learners entering Kindergarten and their families. The main questions are: (1) To what extent does the family wellness program enhance home health and learning routines, and (2) To what extent does the family wellness program enhance child literacy, language, and social-emotional outcomes. All participants will be asked to complete surveys and assessments. Researchers will compare two groups: (1) Family wellness program that includes (a) 8-weekly summer sessions, (b) text messages, (c) booster sessions, and (2) usual care plus school supplies and list of resources to see if the family wellness program enhances child and parenting outcomes.
Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of main complication in surgery. It usually occurs within 30 days post operation. The superficial SSI is an infection of skin and subcutaneous layer, clinically presented by pus oozing. Furthermore, seroma hematoma and wound dehiscence are also clinical signs of superficial SSI. Nowadays, there are studies which report methods reducing SSI by placing negative pressure drain within surgical wound. It can reduce serum in subcutaneous layer which is found in every surgical wound, especially in clean-contaminated and contaminated wound. Many studies show that placing negative pressure drainage within a surgical wound can reduce superficial SSI and decrease hospital length of stay by comparing with the control group. The objective in this study to compare the rate of SSI of clean-contaminated and contaminated surgical wounds between the patients whose wounds are placed with negative pressure drainage and patients who were not placed with negative pressure drainage.
With the planned study, it was aimed to determine the effect of finger feeding method on newborns in term babies.
The goal of study is to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy-based psychoeducation on the level of stigmatization applied to relatives of schizophrenia patients. Type of study: This study was planned as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with an observation and control group. Participants: The population of the study consisted of the relatives of schizophrenia patients who were registered and actively attending the Community Mental Health Center in a state hospital in Ankara. Intervention: Before the psychoeducation process started, personal information form and scales were applied to the relatives of the patients in the experimental and control groups. An ACT-based psychoeducation program consisting of 8 sessions was applied to the experimental group. each session lasted approximately 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention. After the psychoeducation, the scales were reapplied to the experimental and control groups. In addition, the experimental group was asked to fill out the psychoeducation evaluation form. The scales were reapplied to the experimental group after the 1-month follow-up study and evaluated.
Disturbed sleep occurs in almost all patients in psychiatric inpatient care, and although it is well known that comorbid sleep disorders in depression often persist after treatment of depression and also increase the risk of new depressive episodes, the availability of effective, evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders in hospitalised patients is very limited. The overall goal of the current project is to translate, adapt and evaluate an acute psychological sleep treatment based on cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) for patients hospitalized with depression and comorbid sleep problems in the specialized psychiatric inpatient care in the Stockholm Region. The main hypothesis for the study is that acute psychological sleep stabilization (APS) reduces self-reported sleep complains compared to care as usual reinforced with sleep hygiene advice, and secondary hypotheses are that APS also leads to reduced depressive symptoms and earlier discharge. The project includes a pilot study, which will be followed by a randomized, controlled trial of APS compared to care as usual with structured sleep hygiene (minimal active control) and treatment effect is evaluated every three days during the hospital stay and 1,2,4 and 12 weeks after randomization. APS will be performed by existing staff in the department with the support of a psychologist.
