The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention designed to prevent nurse suicide. This randomized controlled trial will test the modified Interactive Screening Program (mISP) alone and the mISP combined with a program called MINDBODYSTRONG. The mISP is a method of screening to detect clinicians at moderate to high risk for suicide and referring them for treatment through an encrypted anonymous on-line platform. MINDBODYSTRONG© is an adaptation of a well-tested cognitive-behavioral skills building intervention (also known as COPE in the literature) that provides a cognitive-behavior theory-based approach to decrease depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation and improve healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors in at-risk populations. MINDBODYSTRONG© will involve eight self-paced computerized sessions designed specifically for nurses and clinicians. Nurses will be recruited nationally through the professional nursing organizations and health systems.
The goal of this clinical study is to test how edecesertib (formerly known as GS-5718) can be useful in treating Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) in participants with CLE. Information on what is happening in the body relating to CLE, how the body processes, is affected by and responds to the study drug, and any study drug side effects will also be collected in this study.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by a progressive loss of memory and cognitive function. In the early stages of AD, there is a progressive accumulation of molecules: β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in the brain. There is a link between the accumulation of Aβ peptides and the deterioration of sleep, but current knowledge does not confirmed this link. The objective of this study is to define whether there is a link between cognitive decline and sleep disorders. If a correlation is found, this could allow earlier treatment of sleep disorders in the longer term in order to slow the development of AD.
Two recent randomized controlled trials (BAOCHE and ATTENTION) have confirmed the efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy in patient with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO). However, it is still inconclusive whether there is any differences between endovascular therapy with or without bridging intravenous thrombolysis in acute BAO. So far, no randomized controlled trial has been conducted specifically for endovascular therapy with or without intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke due to BAO. Therefore, this study plans to conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to compare the functional outcomes between endovascular therapy with and without intravenous thrombolysis in patient with AIS due to BAO. This study is a multicenter, parallel, open label, randomized controlled trial comparing direct endovascular therapy versus endovascular therapy bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). This study intends to include patients with AIS due to BAO fulfilling the following inclusion criteria: patients with AIS caused by BAO confirmed by CTA/MRA/DSA; IVT can be started within 4.5 hours after symptoms onset; Age ≥ 18 years old; NIHSS score ≥ 6. The main outcome is the 3-month mRS scale score. Secondary outcomes included NIHSS at 24 hours and 7 days after surgery, CTA vascular recanalization at 24-72 hours, mRS at 5-7 days, and infarct volume. The safety outcomes included 90-day mortality and the incidence of sICH.
The investigators are interested in whether discrete counterpressure maneuvers, or muscle movements in the lower body, will boost blood pressure and cardiovascular control in children who faint. We will record cardiovascular responses to maneuvers of exaggerated sway, leg crossing, crouching, and gluteal muscle tensing in children who faint (N=20), as well as their height, weight, muscularity, and pubertal (Tanner) stage. Autonomic cardiovascular control will be measured using a Valsalva manoeuvre (expiration against a closed airway for 20 seconds) and a supine-stand test. The primary outcomes are noninvasive measures of cardiovascular responses to the maneuvers (blood pressure, cerebral blood flow, and stroke volume (volume of blood pumped per heartbeat). Comparisons will be made across levels of sex, diagnosis, Tanner stage, muscularity, height, and degree of autonomic control.
Pacific Islanders residing in the United States (US) have disproportionally high rates of preterm birth (<37 weeks) and low birthweight infants (<2,500 grams). They are also more likely to experience preeclampsia, primary cesarean birth, excessive gestational weight gain, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to other racial/ethnic minorities. These maternal health factors serve as precursors to maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Pacific Islanders have almost twice the infant mortality rate, per 1,000 live births, as compared to non-Hispanic whites and have a higher maternal mortality rate compared to the same group (13.5 verse 12.7). Early and consistent supportive care throughout the pregnancy continuum is strongly associated with positive birth outcomes, including infant and maternal morbidity and mortality, and is a US health priority. Emerging literature suggests that group-based prenatal programs, like Centering Pregnancy, coupled with care navigation, can mitigate precursors to severe morbidity and mortality. The proposed study will determine the feasibility of Centering Pregnancy with care navigation and the preliminary effectiveness to improve: prenatal and postpartum care appointment attendance, preterm birth, low-birth weight infants, cesarean deliveries, emergency department visits, and access to social support services. Investigators will use a mixed-method approach with two groups of Marshallese participants (propensity score matched on relevant covariates such as maternal age, parity, and sociodemographics), one group in Centering Pregnancy with care navigation and one group from standard prenatal care.
This is a multisite clinical trial of healthy lifestyle programs for middle-to-older-aged adults (50 -74 years) to improve their weight and, therefore, reduce risk for chronic disease. This study will investigate whether a proven, self-directed video-based lifestyle program can be significantly enhanced with the assistance of a coach via videoconference or phone to help people as they adopt healthy eating and exercise behaviors. Additionally, the study will examine what factors might explain why some people achieve better outcomes than others. Understanding this can help to tailor the program to an individual for personalized care in the future. Importantly, this study aims to demonstrate how readily a digital lifestyle program, with or without remote coaching, can be seamlessly delivered to patients at home via the patient portal of their electronic health record. This practical use of existing telehealth tools could be a feasible and effective means to offer behavioral treatments during routine medical care.
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of peanut, tree nuts, and sesame allergy in Polish children at high risk of food allergy. Additionally, the timing of the development of peanut, tree nuts and sesame allergy in the first three years of life in a high-risk population will be assessed.
D-0120 is being tested in combination with Allopurinol in adult subjects with Gout.
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to determine the effect of the addition of IV acetaminophen to opioid-based pain regimes for infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after surgery. This is a pilot trial; the main goals are to make sure our study methods work before performing a larger study. The main clinical aims are: 1. Determine if adding IV acetaminophen reduces pain 2. Determine if adding IV acetaminophen reduces opioid use 3. Determine if adding IV acetaminophen reduces complications Participants will be randomized to two groups: Comparator: Fentanyl and IV acetaminophen Control: Fentanyl and placebo Patients will receive either IV acetaminophen or placebo at regular intervals for seven days after surgery. Patients will be followed daily during that period. Charts will be reviewed at 90-days for final outcomes.
