Transcutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (TEPNS) and transcutaneous electrical diaphragm stimulation (TEDS) are modalities that use surface electrodes placed on the patients' skin to generate action potentials and contractions of the muscle fibers of the diaphragm. The primary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of TEPNS and TEDS in healthy adult individuals. Secondary objectives will be to assess the feasibility, safety, and level of discomfort reported by the individual resulting from the application of TEPNS and TEDS.
This is a randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy and safety of washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) for diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) patients.
This trial is a prospective, single arm, single center, phase II clinical study aimed at subjects with advanced gastric cancer and para aortic lymph node metastasis, exploring the feasibility and safety of Sintilimab Injection combined with synchronous chemo-radiotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy. Patients will receive sintilimab Injection (200mg iv q3w d1) combined with concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The chemotherapy regimen will use oxaliplatin 130mg/m2+S-1 40mg/m2 bid d1-14. Radiotherapy is performed using intraperitoneal radiation therapy, once a day, five times a week, at a dose of 1.8-2 Gy/f, for a total of 45-50.4 Gy (60-66 Gy for lymph node lesions). Radiation therapy starts from the second cycle of Sintilimab Injection combined with chemotherapy. The subjects underwent imaging evaluation after completing 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy with Sintilimab Injection. Evaluated as a surgical subject (surgical conditions: imaging evaluation of enlarged lymph nodes adjacent to the abdominal aorta with PR or no significant activity), radical surgery will be performed within 4 weeks after the last study drug treatment. After surgery, the researcher will determine the necessity of adjuvant treatment and develop an adjuvant treatment plan based on the subject's condition. Subjects evaluated as inoperable will have their best follow-up treatment plan determined by the researcher.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of 12 weeks of post-operative use of a novel wearable electrical stimulation knee sleeve device (KneeStim) on post-operative biomechanical function (gait). Participants will be United States Military Academy cadets aged 17-27 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Examine the effects of KneeStim wear on cadets' post-operative gait - Examine changes in site-specific skeletal muscle mass - Examine the changes in patient-reported outcomes - Assess time to return to full duty - Compare Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurements to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements (total thigh volume) - Determine the concurrent criterion validity of the KneeStim device compared to gold- standard metrics (3D Motion Capture) Participants will undergo body composition analysis, MRI, strength testing, standard of care rehabilitation, gait analysis, and complete surveys. Participants will wear the KneeStim during their standard of care rehabilitation visits for the first 5 weeks post-operative, and throughout daily tasks from 6-12 weeks. Researchers will compare a control group (standard of care + KneeStim controlled low intensity) to an experimental group (standard of care + KneeStim flexible intensity) to assess the aims previously mentioned..
In the United States, only 62% of the 37 million people with diabetes receive annual screening exams for diabetic retinopathy. One of the goals of the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 campaign is to increase diabetic retinopathy screening rates to 70.3%. Research indicates that low screening rates are associated with a variety of factors, including income levels, race and lack of access to care. Furthermore, because diabetic retinopathy frequently presents asymptomatically, non-adherence to screening results in postponed disease detection and a higher probability of vision loss. Currently, it is estimated that 9 million adults in the US are affected by diabetic retinopathy, and 1.8 million suffer from vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Importantly, the rates of vtDR vary greatly by race, with Hispanic individuals at 7.14% and Black individuals at 8.66%, compared to 3.55% in White individuals. Despite these alarming figures, the disease can be managed and vision loss can often be averted with early disease detection, thus highlighting the importance of increasing screening rates. A clear need exists for a diabetic retinopathy screening tool that can be deployed in primary care settings, addressing the shortage of specialist care and making screening more accessible to underserved populations. OPTDR01 will directly address these issues by providing accessible, high quality screening for diabetic retinopathy. OPTDR01 will automatically detect more than mild diabetic retinopathy (mtmDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (vtDR) in diabetic adults who have not previously been diagnosed with mtmDR or vtDR.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictability of possible respiratory complications and the effect of the addition of the integrated pulmonary (EPI) score to the evaluation of the patient's respiratory index status in addition to the SPO2 measurement available in standard ASA monitoring in pediatric patients undergoing interventional radiological procedures under sedoanesthesia.
The aim of this single center, single arm and prospective study is to explore the safety and efficacy of Neoantigen Vaccine Plus Anti-PD1 and Chemotherapy in postoperative adjuvant treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a skin infection disease which cause severe zoster-associated pain (ZAP) along sensory nerve in the corresponding segment. Evidence for the efficacy of existing local therapies for acute/subacute ZAP is limited. The hypothesis is that patients with acute/subacute ZAP treated with TPIs with local anesthetic and steroids under the basis of standard treatment will show better clinical outcomes compared with subjects treated with standard antiviral medicine treatment only.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the correlation between the artificial intelligence (AI) derived effective withdrawal time (EWT) during colonoscopy and endoscopists' baseline adenoma detection rate (ADR). The association between the AI derived EWT with ADR during the prospective colonoscopy series would also be determined. The colonoscopy video of participants will be monitored by the AI
Cholecystectomy is the most common major abdominal surgical procedure in western countries. Patients may experience fear and anxiety before surgery. Stress ball, one of the distraction methods, is an effective method in providing cognitive focus. It is seen that the stress ball method is used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing their sense of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative use of stress ball on patients' fear, stress and comfort in order to determine the effect of stress ball applied before cholecystectomy surgery on patients' surgical fear, stress and comfort. It is thought that the data obtained as a result of the research will provide evidence for the effect of the stress ball, which is a non-pharmacological method used before the procedure, on fear, stress and comfort.
