The purpose of this study is to assess whether a brief intervention about learning and education is both practical and acceptable for parents of children with cancer.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Sujok therapy on Pain, Fatigue, Insomnia, Nausea and Vomiting experienced by patients with gastrointestinal system cancer.
Study design A 2-arm, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted. The design will follow the Standard Protocol Items Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT)
This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation and dose-expansion study of E-602, administered alone and in combination with cemiplimab.
Our study aims to lay the basis for a predictive modeling service for postoperative complications and prolonged hospital stay in patients suffering from psychiatric diseases undergoing colorectal surgery. Furthermore, we aim to investigate the impact of preoperative Risk factors, psychiatric and psychosomatic diseases on the outcomes of colorectal surgery and the complications after colorectal surgeries like anastomosis insufficiency via predictive modeling techniques The service mentioned above will be publicly available as a web-based application
Airflow directed to the face by a fan is shown to relief breathlessness in palliative care and some studies have suggested High-Flow nasal airflow therapy beneficial as well. However, these two treatments have not been compared. 40 patients with advanced cancer and breathlessness are recruited from Tampere University Hospital or Pirkanmaa Hospice. All patients are treated with two therapies: 1. High-Flow nasal airflow therapy with a nasal cannula and 2. airflow directed to the face by a fan. Both treatment periods last 30 minutes or as long as the patient wish to use the therapy. The effects of the therapies on breathlessness are compared by asking the subjective relief of breathlessness after each therapies. The study do not limit any other therapies used in the normal clinical care for the patients. Thus, all the other therapies the physicians taking care of the patient orders are permitted. Hopefully, the patients achieve relief for their breathlessness through the study treatments given in addition to their normal treatment. There are no significant risks related to the therapies, but they may cause some inconveniences such as mouth dryness. These possible side-effects of the therapies are asked as well.
In oncology, the search for genetic alterations or infectious agents in tumour tissues has become a major medical challenge for diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of response to treatment and in particular to targeted therapies, or for the biological monitoring of the disease. Over the last ten years, the development of new molecular biology tools based on high-throughput technologies has enabled us to revisit our conceptions of the development and natural history of cancers. The use of these tools has also allowed the dismemberment of numerous cancerous pathologies according to their molecular etiologies and oncogenetic histories. These new molecular biology tools have thus contributed to the emergence of so-called personalised or precision medicine.
postoperative outcomes were evaluated by using inBody test
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether sauna use after active-duty firefighting is effective in reducing exposure to certain harmful chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are found in soot and several types are known to be carcinogens. This study is a cross-sectional pilot study that will be performed in active-duty firefighters. The firefighters will be subdivided into those who will use a sauna immediately after fighting a fire versus those who will not, the latter of which will serve as a metabolism control group. There will thus be two comparison groups within the study: 1) active-duty firefighters using a sauna after fire suppression (sauna group); 2) active-duty firefighters not using a sauna after fire suppression (metabolism control).
