Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility and increased fracture likelihood as a result of deterioration of the bone tissue microstructure.One of the important conditions determining the fracture risk in osteoporosis patients is fall. Balance exercises are perform to reduce the risk of falling.Virtual reality games are used in balance studies in many rehabilitation areas. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of virtual reality exercises on balance.
Abdominopelvic bleeding can occur due to numerous causes including for the vast majority, trauma, surgery complications and tumors. Interventional radiologists often exclude arterial acute hemorrhage using cyanoacrylate or a liquid embolic agent, but few prospective results have been published to assess their efficacy and safety. The historic and most studied liquid embolic agent to date is Onyx. Results in the treatment of acute peripheral non-neurologic hemorrhage have been detailed in a meta-analysis published in 2015. This systematic review found 19 articles presenting 131 patient cases and 150 lesions treated with Onyx from 2005 to August 2014. There were 11 case series and 8 case reports but no prospective trial. The most common presenting symptoms were of gastrointestinal (GI) origin (n = 51). Rebleeding of the baseline lesion occurred in 7/131 patients. No deaths resulting from complications of the embolic procedure were reported. One patient died of persistent hemoptysis after treatment with Onyx. No deaths were directly attributable to the use of Onyx. During a peripheral embolization procedure with available embolic agents other than SQUIDPERI, residual feedings or collateral vessels became gradually less visible to the operator due to the high radiopacity of the liquid. It was therefore essential to develop an embolization system with lower radiopacity, or with radiopacity that decreases over time. Additionally, depending on the angioarchitecture and flow characteristics, it is important to have an embolic agent with various viscosities. SQUIDPERI is a liquid embolic agent with various viscosities and radiopacities. It is indicated for the embolization of lesions in the peripheral vasculature but its use is poorly reported as of today. The purpose of this prospective non interventional multicenter study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SQUIDPERI for the treatment of abdominopelvic arterial acute bleeding or imminent risk of bleeding.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex is the motor response of our eyes in the opposite direction to a translational or rotational movement of our head. The post-rotational nystagmus test (PRN) assesses the integrity of this reflex, thus assessing the perception of the vestibular system. The duration of this reflex after administering this test has been widely studied in children from 2 months to 12 years and 11 months of age. However, there is a knowledge gap from that age that the present study seeks to address.
This is a nationwide multicenter,retrospective,observational real-world study. 1. To assess the risk of perioperative complications in patients with tumor who received bevacizumab prior to unexpected operation. 2. To assess the correlation of the interval time between the last dose of bevacizumab and operation and occurrence of perioperative complications. 3. To explore the risk factors of perioperative comlications in patients with tumor received bevacizumab prior to unexpected operation.
To evaluate the effect of adjunctive systemic administration of melatonin to mechanical non- surgical periodontal therapy in obese patients with periodontitis.
1. This strategy might suggest a therapeutic option to preserve ovarian function in young patients among which locally advanced cancer cervix is common. Based on previous studies, neoadjuvant irinotecan and cisplatin followed by radical hysterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy has the potential to improve the prognosis compared the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy(CCRT). 2. To offer an alternative effective treatment line replacing concurrent chemo-radiotherapy to avoid dramatic radiotherapy induced complications which might impede a safe successful surgery. 2- To reduce the proportion of patients who will go for radiotherapy, consequently those patients will still have a chance of probable less complicated surgery in case of local recurrence. 3- This study will involve neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in treating patients with stage II-III cervical cancer for reducing tumor size, minimizing blood loss during surgery and eradication of possible micro-metastasis. 4- To Improve the likelihood of achieving complete tumor resection after NACT. 5- Investigators will further follow-up those patients for more detailed assessments to confirm whether NACT can improve patients' prognoses, survival, quality of life, and the standard of care.
Stroke is a major public health issue in developed countries. A full etiological work up within a short time is critical to implement the appropriate preventive treatment. The etiological work up is actually based on a clinical examination and on a group of paraclinical examinations. The realization of the standard strategy is time consuming, and increase the cost of the medical care. A non-invasive one-shot examination of the heart, the aorta and the cervical and intracranial arteries (cci-MRI) could overcome these disadvantages.The investigator therefore propose to carry out an overall assessment of the performance of the cci-MR in the etiological work up of ischemic strokes and TIAs compared to the reference strategy
This project is to to explore the safety and efficacy of shr-1210 combined with albumin, paclitaxel and carboplatin in the first-line treatment of extensive small cell lung cancer
The evolving reports form recent studies are creating a promise on the potential use of dextrose injections for treating arthritis and replacing current method of treating early osteoarthritis by corticosteroids by giving long standing effect and improving patients' symptoms and function. Over the past 5 years, an increasing number of level I and level II studies have emerged, examining the effect of intra-articular prolotherapy for the treatment of both hip and knee osteoarthritis. On the contrary, there is limited data in small joints, such as the temporomandibular joint.
Epiretinal membranes (ERM) consist of an abnormal growth of tissue across the retina and are present about 6% of people aged 50 and over. They can cause symptoms of distortion (straight lines appearing bent) or blurred vision. Management options include observation if asymptomatic, or surgery to peel the membrane if symptomatic. Limited data exists regarding how to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from surgery. We propose to measure the effects on distortion (using D chart), visual acuity and vision-related quality of life (using a validated vision-related quality of life questionnaire) of ERM surgery. This will allow us to investigate whether pre-operative D chart score can predict subsequent improvement in quality of life following surgery. We hope the results will help patients and VR surgeons decide whether or not to proceed with ERM surgery. The study will be a prospective case series consisting of patients with symptomatic epiretinal membranes who choose to have epiretinal membrane surgery. The study participants will get standard care with the additional administration of a quality of life questionnaire and measurement of distortion (using a D-chart) at 3 different time points (pre-op, and post-op at 26 and 52 weeks). Recruitment will be in Glasgow, with a possibility of other sites being added on at a later stage.
