Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the airway management effects of flexible reinforced laryngeal mask and endotracheal tube in childhood adenotonsillectomy. Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups: endotracheal tube group (ETT) and flexible reinforced laryngeal mask group (FLMA). For those in ETT group: they will be intubated after induction of anesthesia .For those in FLMA group: they will be put in flexible reinforced laryngeal mask after induction of anesthesia . The investigators will compare FLMA with ETT to see if flexible reinforced laryngeal mask can be used safely and effectively in childhood adenotonsillectomy，and if there will be less severe adverse events in FLMA.
The school children often spend prolonged hours in sedentary activities and may not engage in sufficient physical exercise A sedentary lifestyle among school-going children is a growing concern in modern society. Children are spending more time sitting down and less time being physically active. This can lead to a variety of health problems, including obesity, poor posture, and a lack of cardiovascular fitness. Postural control is crucial for children's balance, gait, and functional tasks, and core stability and hip muscle strength play significant roles in maintaining proper posture and facilitating movement. Pilates is a popular exercise program known for improving core strength, balance, flexibility, and posture. Understanding the potential benefits of Pilates exercises on muscle strength and postural control in this population is essential, considering the sedentary lifestyles of many school children. Limited research has examined the effectiveness of Pilates exercises in school-aged children This randomized controlled trial will be conducted in schools in Daska City Govt. girls high school Raj okay Tehsil DASKA, Govt Girls elementary school KOT JANDHU Tehsil DASK e.g over a duration of six months. The sample size will consist of 96 children aged 6 to 9 years, divided equally into a control group and an experimental group. The inclusion criteria specify children without acute illnesses or injuries, within the normal BMI range, and free from cognitive impairments or chronic medication use. The control group will receive exercises that will focus on flexibility, strength, and endurance targeting postural stability for 45 minutes, while the experimental group will receive program of exercises including 15 minutes of conventional exercise along(strengthening, flexibility exercises) with 30 minutes of Pilates excercises including ( back twists, single leg circles, standing splits, alternate toe touches, ball leg lifts) for 3 times a week, of Pilates exercises aimed at improving lower-limb strength, flexibility, and coordination. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 4th week, and 8th-week using measures such as the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale, walking speed assessment, FRT.
Statement of the problem: •Is there an effect of the cough assist device on Hemodynamic status and oxygen saturation for ventilated children? Null hypothesis There will be no effect of cough assist device on hemodynamic status and oxygen saturation for ventilated children.
Introduction: Kinesiophobia is a common symptom associated with high levels of disability and has also been observed in patients with headache. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and clinical factors in this population is unknown. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling, quality of life, and physical activity in children with headache. Methods: We included 127 children aged 6-18 years with headache complaints in our study. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) was used to assess kinesiophobia, the International Falls Efficacy Scale (IFSES) was used to assess fear of falling, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was used to measure physical activity, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (QOLS) was used to assess quality of life. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity.
During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.
Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited genetic disorder, accounting for 300,000 births worldwide per year. It is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation of the β-globin gene, responsible for an abnormal hemoglobin, the main protein in red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. The abnormal hemoglobin, known as "Sickle" or S, deforms the red blood cell, causing chronic hemolytic anemia, organ damage (heart, spleen, etc.) and vaso-occlusive crises. Therapeutic progress and specialised patient follow-up have considerably improved the vital and functional prognosis of children and adolescents with sickle cell disease. Physical fitness, measured during a cardiorespiratory exercise test (CPET), is used to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Patients with sickle cell disease have a multifactorial limitation of exercise tolerance, which may affect their physical fitness. Authors have shown that VO2max is impaired in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease, independently of their baseline hemoglobin level. Yet VO2max is a key determinant of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients being monitored for a chronic disease. In the past, our team has contributed to the assessment of HRQoL in several groups of pediatric patients suffering from chronic disease (congenital heart disease, PAH). To date, the link between impaired physical fitness and HRQoL has not been demonstrated in sickle cell children. The pathophysiological determinants of reduced physical capacity and exercise tolerance in sickle cell patients have also not been fully elucidated. Studying these factors will enable us to propose appropriate treatment in the future, with the aim of improving physical fitness and HRQoL in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease.
To assess the efficacy and safety of the use of probiotics as food supplements in reducing the SCORAD index in children with atopic skin compared with placebo. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial with 2 parallel groups, which will include 32 patients who attend some of the research centers. Patients will be randomized into one of the 2 study groups (allocation ratio 1: 1): Experimental group (Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRa05) and placebo group (placebo). The reduction of the SCORAD index, the number of sprouts in 12 weeks, the days of use of topical corticosteroids and one valuations of the skin condition (hydration).
Statement of the problem: • Does the thoracic block technique has effect on arterial blood gases, vital signs and lung compliance in children with atelectasis on mechanical ventilation? Null hyposis there is no effect of thoracic block technique on arterial blood gases, vital signs and lung compliance in children with atelectasis on mechanical ventilation.
The aim of the randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of ShotBlocker, finger puppet and balloon inflation methods applied during intramuscular injection procedure on children's pain and fear level.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 50 million people have epilepsy. Among them, nearly 80% of epileptic patients live in developing countries and 75% of them do not have access to treatment. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been shown as an effective alternative for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Although it has been studied by few studies in Asia, no such studies have been conducted in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of the KD in children with refractory epilepsies followed at a pediatric center in South Vietnam.
