This is a prospective, multi-center, investigator-initiated observational cohort study. Enrollment with a minimum of of 195 cases each for patients with and without sarcopenia. Each patient is followed up for 6 month, 1 year, 2 years or until the occurrence of death.This study will examine the correlation between sarcopenia and prognosis in different subgroups of patients, and explore the additive effect of different comorbidities and sarcopenia on prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
End-stage heart failure (ESHF) causes recurrent hospitalizations, cardiac arrhythmias, and intolerance to standard HF therapies are common as the disease progresses. Management focuses on controlling symptoms, correcting precipitants, avoiding triggers, and improving quality-of-life. The combination of recent preclinical and clinical data suggests that localized cardiac RT is relatively safe and has positive conductive and anti-proliferative effects in the "sick" heart. In this Phase 1 study, the investigators aim to assess the feasibility and safety of 5 Gy whole heart radiotherapy in six (6) ESHF participants with limited options for further medical therapy to control their disease. The investigators hypothesize that 5 Gy whole heart radiotherapy can improve LVEF and decrease blood markers of heart failure and inflammation including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and troponins, while also having a very tolerable side effect profile.
Effective training requires repeated opportunities for skills practice with performance-based feedback, which is challenging to provide at scale. This research study focuses on developing an AI-based, coding and feedback tool ("LyssnCrisis") for implementation in a nationally utilized crisis call center, training counselors (call-takers) in suicide risk assessment skills, and evaluating LyssnCrisis to improve services and client outcomes. Our goal is to maximize the human capacity of call-takers to help assess their callers for risk of suicidality, and thus, a core aspect of the current research is developing a novel training process that supports human call-taker capacities.
Modified radical mastectomy is the most commonly performed surgical approach for breast cancer. The procedure enables surgeons to remove the main tumor mass, adjacent glandular tissue and regional lymph nodes. Moreover, it provides a cosmetic outcome that clearly surpasses the standard radical mastectomy and allows subsequent breast reconstruction with favorable results. The present randomized study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuncts to serratus anterior plane block in women undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the consumption of cookies produced by adding the unripe part of carob fruit, which has high insoluble fiber, polyphenol and antioxidant content, on the oxidative parameters (TAS and MDA), intestinal permeability (zonulin, GIP) and microbiota of celiac patients and to develop new products containing unripe carob fruit for celiac patients in this direction.
This study aims to examine the effect of acupressure on physiological parameters and anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). H1-1: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the level of anxiety. H1-2: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on blood pressure. H1-3: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on heart rate. H1-4: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on respiratory rate. H1-5: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the pain level. H1-6: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on cortisol levels.
1. To detect the frequency and the underlying causes of cardiopulmonary arrest . 2. To detect outcome of CPR 3. To identify the associated risk factors for the different outcomes after CPR among those patients
The investigator aim to identify the role of inorganic pyrophosphate and other anti-calcifying molecules in vascular disease in children with chronic kidney disease, with a view to developing therapeutic approaches aimed at limiting the onset of vasculopathy.
The AI-CAC model is an artificial intelligence system capable of assessing the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis on a simple chest radiograph. The present study will provide prospective validation of its diagnostic performance in a primary prevention population with a clinical indication for coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of focal microvibration on patients affected by chronic lumbosacral radicular pain. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can focal microvibration improve pain in this patient population? - Can focal microvibration improve quality of life in these patients? Participants will attach to their skin four little devices (10x20x0,5mm) delivering focal microvibration in the painful area according to researchers indications for 6 hours/day every day except Thursday and Sunday. Researchers will compare patients treated with focal microvibration to patients treated with a sham device and to patients treated with standard pharmacological therapy.
