Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target HER2 are routinely used to treat patients with HER2 (+) breast cancer. The main adverse reactions included diarrhea, nausea, and rash, among which diarrhea had the highest incidence. It can reduce the quality of life and medication compliance of patients, and further affect the efficacy of TKI anti-tumor therapy. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to establish a risk assessment model before TKI treatment, in order to screen out the high-risk population and influencing factors of TKI-associated diarrhea, and planned to carry out corresponding animal experiments to verify the relationship between various mechanisms and the main mechanism in TKI-associated diarrhea and to explore the corresponding treatment methods.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program with the support of teletechnology in COVID-19 survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The change of six-minute walk distance - The change of time of one-minute sit-to-stand test - The change of maximal strength of upper-limb, lower-limb and respiratory muscle - The change of quality of life Participants in the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation group will receive teletechnology-assisted consultations (either by videotelephony or telephone calls) for every 1-2 weeks during the intervention period, and participants in the usual care group will not receive teletechnology-assisted consultations during the intervention period.
Older adults may feel at risk for falling, but do not have a physical risk of falling. On the other hand, some older adults may not feel at risk for falling, but do have a physical risk of falling. This study is being done to test a preventative, in-home exercise program (called PEER) which may allow older adults to improve balance, align the perceived risk for falling with the physical risk for falling, and prevent falls. Participants will be asked to participate in this study for approximately 9 months. This study has three specific aims: 1. Examine differences in balance, fall risk, and physical activity after program completion, follow-up 3 months and 6 months between older adults (OAs) in the Physio-fEedback Exercise pRogram (PEER) intervention and OAs in attention control (AC) condition. 2. Explore differences in exercise adherence and the proportion of shifting in fall risk appraisal and negative self-perception on aging after program completion, follow-up 3 months and 6 months between OAs in the PEER intervention and OAs in AC condition. 3. Explore participants' experiences with the PEER intervention and potential barriers to access and adoption of the technology-based PEER intervention to inform future research. Participants will be asked to participate in this study for approximately 9 months. This includes the baseline assessment, 8 weeks of PEER activities or attention control activities, and follow-up assessments at 3 months and 6 months. After the informed consent and completion of the baseline assessments, participants will be randomized to either the PEER intervention or the attention control (AC) group. Participants in the PEER intervention group will be asked to participate in group exercises (60 minutes per week for 8 weeks) and home-based exercises (twice a week for 8 weeks) that focus on balance, strength training with a peer coach. Participants in the AC group will receive an information pamphlet developed by the CDC about falls called Simple Exercises for Improving Balance and Preventing Falls in Older Adults. Topics include information on fall risks, how to prevent falls, how to check for safety, postural hypotension, and chair rise exercises. The control group will be encouraged to discuss fall prevention with a primary care provider and continue normal activities.
This will be a prospective randomized, controlled, virtual, patient study to measure the impact of EsoCheck/EsoGuard on health care provider's decision for upper endoscopy referral. The participants will complete two rounds of questions concerning the assessed risk for BE and decision for endoscopy referral of 6 patient cases (clinical vignettes). After the first round has been completed, an EsoCheck/EsoGuard educational information package and the second round of 6 clinical vignettes including EsoGuard results will be sent.
Burnout and job dissatisfaction among clinicians are one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare today. Clinicians report feeling less engaged in their work and are leaving their fields in large numbers which reflects increasing stress from the pandemic coupled with increased administrative and regulatory demands and a decreased sense of autonomy. To attenuate these factors the current study will enact a series of interventions that would decrease mental distress, increase self-efficacy, and attenuate inefficiencies in their work environment to achieve sustainable improvement. The investigators will offer psychological training using techniques that have been shown to impact individual's mental health that target feelings of demoralization, depression and anxiety that result from chronic stress. Additionally, the investigators will offer individualized training on optimization of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to help clinicians from different fields and settings reduce their time and effort needed for documentation. The investigators will also engage clinicians in systemic redesign to empower clinician-directed changes to the health system environment. The investigators anticipate that each intervention will positively affect emotional wellbeing, skills mastery of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), and environmental dissatisfaction to reduce overall burnout.
Supracondylar femur periprosthetic fractures about a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are a catastrophic and challenging complication of TKA and unfortunately are increasing in incidence. Fixation of these fractures can be challenging due to altered anatomy for the TKA and the presence of the metallic femoral component and have a relatively high complication rate. As a result, some surgeons elect to treat these fractures with a distal femur replacement total knee arthroplasty (DFR). The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate periprosthetic femur fractures treated with ORIF or DFR and compare various outcomes measures (Get up and go times, KOOS Jr score)
The purpose of this study is to determine if administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), a clotting agent, will decrease blood loss, the need for transfusion, and reduce the likelihood of wound complications such as infection. Investigators will also see if the drug can effectively decrease operative time and length of hospitalization.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which treatment works better for adults with chronic pain. This study are comparing three treatments: Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and usual care (whatever a person is already doing to cope with their pain). The study's main questions are: - Does PRT work well for adults with chronic pain? - Which treatment works better for lowering pain: PRT, CBT, or usual care? This study will compare PRT, CBT, and usual care to see which is most helpful for lowering pain and helping with other problems that people with chronic pain can have.
This is an open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with CT0594CP CAR-T Cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia
The goal of this randomized sham-controlled trial is to ivestigate efficacy and safety of G-POEM in treatment of diabetic gastroparesis and explore impact of G-POEM on glucose metabolism and incretine hormones.
