Dysfunctional breathing and persistent hypocapnia can be associated with many of the symptoms experienced by patients such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain and palpitations. The identification of dysfunctional breathing and hypocapnia in these patients is important as it may represent a target for treatment. In many of these patients, tachypnea at low levels of exertion suggests increased respiratory muscle activity, which can lead to the sensation of dyspnea. Sympathetic hyperactivity leads to excessive and irregular ventilation during exercise. In this way, inspiratory muscle training can improve symptoms (dysfunctional breathing), possibly by attenuating the metaboreflex (vagal modulation-attenuation of the sympathetic response) of the inspiratory muscle in post-covid-19 subjects, reducing ventilatory variability.
Background In developed countries, mortality rates in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are around 4% and thus, most children admitted to these units survive. However, some pediatric survivors experience long-term morbidity (cognitive, psychological, social and/or physical disorders) associated with their intensive care stay. Currently in France, there are no recommendations for the management of these patients and most of them do not have standardized follow-up. Objectives Main objective: To assess the feasibility of implementing systematic and comprehensive management of pediatric patients who have been admitted to the PICU. Intermediate objectives are to study: - The needs of the children and their families which should be met by this management - The acceptability of this organizational innovation for all the actors involved - The cooperation between actors of the hospital and city health system + social professionals involved - The costs of implementation and the budgetary impact of such a system Methods Needs assessment: questionnaires and interviews with patients and their families (parents and possibly siblings if involved) to collect the medico-psycho-social impact of the PICU stay at the time of discharge and 3 months later. Study of acceptability: quantitative survey of health professionals involved in the care of these children and expected care modalities. This includes pediatric intensivists, professionals from the children's usual care services (if applicable), attending physician. Study of cooperation: analysis of needs and of the network usually solicited for the children benefiting from this care: who is identified, who remains to be identified, obstacles. Quantitative analysis of consultation reports and survey of professionals. Budgetary impact analysis: study of the cost of setting up consultations for the health care system, and study of its financial and health consequences for the main needs identified, on the basis of data from the literature and expert opinions Perspectives Compare the benefit of this systematic, multi professional and comprehensive management of pediatric patients after PICU discharge versus standard of care
This study is Interventional, Parallel, Double-blinded, Randomized study. Subjects aged 20 to 70 years who had a Lumbar discectomy or laminectomy, MegaShield-SP® and Guardix-SP Plus will be applied.
The median survival of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains less than one year, highlighting the need for new treatments. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), especially with fluoropyrimidine-based regimens, has shown promise in ICC treatment due to increased local drug concentration and reduced systemic toxicity. A combined approach of radiotherapy and HAIC with gemcitabine infusion may offer a hopeful strategy for locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma. However, clinical research on this combination is lacking as first-line therapy for unresectable ICC. Therefore, a single-center, single-arm study aims to assess this treatment approach's safety, efficacy, and molecular predictors. Improved HAIC delivery through modified percutaneous implantation provides a reliable pathway for effective treatment. In conclusion, exploring the synergistic effects of radiotherapy and HAIC in ICC could pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment strategies for this challenging cancer type.
This study examined immediate postoperative complications in patients undergoing various bariatric surgeries, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these interventions. Conducted at specialized high-volume bariatric surgery centers in Tijuana, Mexico. Predominantly female patients with severe obesity underwent procedures like sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Immediate complications were rare, occurring in only 0.38% of patients, with bleeding being the most common issue. Surgical reintervention within 48 hours was required in 0.33% of cases. The study's low complication rate suggests that surgeon expertise is crucial in minimizing risks and improving postoperative outcomes in bariatric surgery.
the study will show the effects of aerobic and resistance training on exercise capacity, depression and quality of life in patients with hypothyroidism. The evaluation of TSH level before and after the exercise sessions will provide valuable data.
In this study we want to introduce the beneficiary combine effects of chest mobilization and chest physiotherapy exercises by using cough peak flow meter and chest expansion in stroke patients. by using theses combine exercises physiotherapist can develop target rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of AZD0233 following single and multiple ascending dose (SAD and MAD) administration in healthy participants.
The goal of this [ type of study: Clinical trial] is to test effectiveness of Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. The main question [s] ] is to [ learn about, test, compare etc.] it aims to answer are: 1. Is Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey effective in management of Radiation Induced Mucositis? 2. Does Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey affect the level of TGFβ1 and EGF in saliva of patients with radiation induced mucositis? participants will be asked to apply Aloe Vera Gel and Manuka Honey or saline three times daily during radiotherapy and 6 months after radiotherapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation combined with an unrelated cord blood unit (haplo-cord HCT) works to treat acute T cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). It will also learn about the safety of the transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Dose co-infusion of cord blood in haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) lower the rate of relapse? What medical problems do participants have when having haplo-cord HCT? Researchers will compare haplo-cord HCT to haplo-HCT to see if haplo-cord HCT works to treat T-ALL. Participants will be infused an unrelated cord blood unit at the same day of haploidentical graft infusion.
