This study recommends the use of OnLife dietary supplement, which will be followed by a few day before the initiation of PACLITAXEL, for the prevention of PACLITAXEL induced neuropathy. OnLife will be continued one month after stopping chemotherapy. This would limit the number of PACLITAXEL dose reductions and premature interruptions of this chemotherapy, thus potentially improving the results in terms of antitumor efficacy, while improving the quality of life of patients treated with weekly PACLITAXEL.
The WHO and our governance advocate that health professionals should organize care around the patient, considering his or her values, needs and preferences, and enabling the patient to develop the capacity to self-manage the chronic health problems he or she faces. Chronic disease is an ongoing dynamic process and adaptation to this process is complicated by the interaction of several determinants: self-management capacity, level of health literacy, quality of life and experience of care. To best support chronic disease, the recommendation is to adopt a management strategy that allows chronic patients to play an active role in the management of their condition and in the day-to-day decision-making process. The management of chronic pathologies is one of the specialties in which Advanced Practice Nurses are positioned, in primary care, outside hospital. Nursing care benefits from care models that allow for more adapted responses, regarding particular care situations, or certain patient typologies. The Humanistic Partnership Health Care Model (MPHS) implement in current Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) practice.
To learn if an MRSI can be performed on a 3T scanner using an investigational contrast drug called hyperpolarized 13-C pyruvate. 3T refers to the "strength" of the MRI machine.
ATTRv amyloidosis is a systemic disease with two clinical forms, neurological and cardiological, which are sometimes combined (so-called mixed forms). Patisiran and vutrisiran have shown protective effects on the progression of neurological damage. The effects of Patisiran or vutrisiran on the heart remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to better understand the morphological and functional cardiac consequences in ATTRv patients with stage 1 or 2 polyneuropathy with a mixed form treated with Patisiran or vutrisiran
This two-arm, double-blind randomized clinical trial will recruit 208 generally healthy, low-risk pregnant individuals aged 19-42 years living in Vancouver, Canada. Participants will be randomized to receive one of two forms of iron (ferrous fumarate or ferrous bisglycinate) in addition to a prenatal multivitamin (without iron) daily during their pregnancy until delivery, with optional continuation until ~4 weeks postpartum for breastmilk sample collection. Blood samples will be taken at baseline and again at ~37 weeks gestation to assess how different forms of iron impact body iron stores. Rectal swabs will also be taken at baseline and ~37 weeks gestation to detect presence of harmful bacteria in the gut and quantify their abundance. This research will inform more specific guidelines for optimal iron supplementation practices for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency for both mother and baby.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a particular method of providing nutrition improves the outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone abdominal surgery following trauma and would require nutrition delivered via the bloodstream (called total parenteral nutrition or TPN). The nutrition method being tested is a structured nutrition delivery plan, called the SeND Home pathway, that involves TPN, oral nutrition supplements, and the use of a device (called an indirect calorimeter or IC) to measure calorie needs. Participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to the SeND Home program or standard of care nutrition. In the SeND Home program, participants will receive TPN, followed by oral nutrition supplements (shakes) for 4 weeks after discharge. The control group will follow standard of care nutrition delivery that begins during ICU stay and concludes at hospital discharge. Participants in both groups will undergo non-invasive tests that measure how much energy (calories) they are using, body composition, and muscle mass and complete walking and strength tests, and surveys about quality of life.
This study is trying to improve the hospital-to-home transition for people with heart failure who receive home care services. The study will test an intervention called I-TRANSFER-HF, which differs from usual care by combining early home health nurse visits and outpatient medical appointments. The study is interested in two questions: 1. Is I-TRANSFER-HF better than usual care at preventing heart failure patients from returning to the hospital within 30 days? 2. Are there parts of I-TRANSFER-HF that are easy or hard to implement in the real world? The researchers will answer these questions by testing the intervention among pairs of hospitals and home health agencies across the country. During the study, the hospital-agency pairs will be asked to implement I-TRANSFER-HF. The researchers will then compare the results from before and after I-TRANSFER-HF was adopted. They will also interview people from these hospitals and agencies to see how I-TRANSFER-HF is being implemented under real-world conditions.
To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a multicomponent adherence intervention focused on enhancing digital equity and pharmaco-equity among nonadherent patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors on endocrine therapy (ET), CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK 4/6i), and CVD medications. To assess the acceptability and appropriateness of this intervention in patients with MBC and CVD risk factors through validated measures of implementation outcomes. To gain a deeper understanding of the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on medication nonadherence through semi-structured interviews with a subset of study participants.
Xanamem® is being developed as a potential treatment for symptomatic, early stages of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This XanaMIA Phase 2b study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Xanamem in in mild or moderate dementia due to AD. Trial participants will be randomized to either receive 10mg of Xanamem once daily or a placebo for 36 weeks at a 1:1 ratio in a double-blinded fashion.
The Pneumonia Direct Pilot study is designed to assess whether combining molecular diagnostics for bacteria and AMR markers with host-response profiling improves agreement and predictive value for the diagnosis of VAP versus an adjudicated clinical reference standard. The feasibility design is intended to inform future interventional studies that will investigate the clinical impact of combined pathogen- and host-directed testing approaches.
