Filter by:In recent years, sports have become popular, and major gyms or private exercise studios have been opened continuously. A dazzling array of course content allows students to choose according to their preferences. Therefore, how to improve students' compliance with gyms or classrooms, and increase exercise frequency to develop exercise habits , is the current problem faced by the industry. However, in the case of limited time, the academic side is looking for more effective training courses, and the industry side is trying a variety of courses that are more attractive to the public, hoping to be different from the previous types of sports, improve the motivation of public sports, increase the frequency of exercise and then Maintain exercise habits. Compared with aerobic dance, boxing, yoga and Pilates, ballet is a niche course, but more and more studies have pointed out that ballet can effectively improve posture, improve lower limb muscle strength, and improve cognitive, executive memory, and working memory. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of ballet courses on lower limb explosiveness, static balance, dynamic balance, cognitive executive function and working memory of exercise studio students. degree and become one of the courses chosen by students for their classes.
Periodontal diseases are infections cause by dental plaque (Socransky, 1970). Risk factors are present which modify the course of disease progression. One of these risk factors is tobacco smoking, which was first evaluated by Pindborg in 1947 and later by Grossi et al. in 1995. They found that tobacco smoking was strongly associated with attachment loss, bone loss, and lastly, tooth loss. Tooth loss in one of the most visible results of periodontal disease, which negatively affects physiological and psychological patient's life. The effects of cigarette smoking on periodontal status are independent of the plaque index and oral hygiene of the patient, due to the direct influence of tobacco on periodontal tissues. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of periodontal therapy in reducing the rate of tooth loss as well as the importance of patient compliance with periodontal maintenance therapy and adequate oral hygiene practice in achieving this reduction. Compliance is the main problem faced in periodontal maintenance therapy. Low rates of compliance and patient adherence to a maintenance program was reported in the literature. Periodontal maintenance therapy can be considered a critical factor for success in controlling periodontitis and in the long-term maintenance of teeth. In addition, neglecting a regular periodontal maintenance therapy program has been associated with increased risk of reinfection and progression of periodontitis, as well as increased tooth loss. The establishment of a criteria for time interval between different supportive periodontal maintenance visits, is still controversial. Smokers are associated with low level of compliance to prevent being constantly reminded of quitting smoking as well as the health complications associated with the habit. There is a void in the literature addressing the direct influence of compliance and adherence in periodontal maintenance therapy and its contribution to arrest periodontitis progression, minimizing tooth loss, specifically in tobacco smoking patients, whether they are regular or irregular compliant with a long term follow-up up to 40 years. On the other hand, there is moderate scientific evidence that the independent effect of smoking is associated with the occurrence of tooth loss in individuals undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy. Lastly, only very few studies reported the specific outcome of periodontal maintenance therapy on tooth loss in regular and irregular compliant smokers compared to regular and irregular compliant non-smokers. The focused question in this study is "Does periodontal maintenance therapy affect annual tooth loss rates differently in regular and irregular compliant smokers and non-smokers?".
Based on the hypothesis that the chest wall was still pliable in adolescence and could be reshaped in a normal position with the external suppressor applied on the chest, a pressure orthosis was started to be used in the pectus carinatum. It is the focus of attention as it is an alternative method to surgery for patients. However, the patient's compliance with the orthosis is difficult. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire, which is a questionnaire investigating the compliance with orthosis treatment in patients diagnosed with Pectus Carinatum by the doctor.
To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescription as early as possible, better in childhood. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of genetic testing and motivational counseling on the effectiveness of treatment and cascade screening in patients with FH.
Several studies indicate beneficial effects of eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) on cancer cachexia. However, compliance is generally low. This case control study is conducted in order to investigate if compliance depends upon the physical properties of the supplement (capsules vs. drinks). In order to further investigate how compliance can be improved, a possible correlation between sideeffects and rate of increased polyunsaturated fatty acid concentration in blood is also tested
Self-reports, especially for patients with chronic physical or mental diseases, are critical for disease research and drug development. Historically, it has been very difficult to collect self-reported data for long periods of time as it is an unpleasant and inconvenient task. Paper and digital surveys are the traditional way of collecting self-reports and have been around for a long time, but still suffer from lack of adherence despite the best efforts of researchers to remind and motivate individuals to fill them out. Mobile games, on the other hand, benefit from an enormous amount of human adherence. These video games can be played on a smartphone and have captured the attention of a wide variety of demographics. The investigators have used established game design principles to develop a mobile game to motivate individuals to fill out a daily survey. The purpose of this study is to determine which method of survey administration (paper, digital survey, or game- motivated survey) leads to the highest adherence rates for daily surveys.
Participants will be recruited for inclusion at a routine adjustment appointment prior to planned removal of the appliances. Following removal of the appliances, consenting participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups by computer-generated random allocation. Allocation will be concealed from the treating clinician using of an opaque sealed envelope system. Standard stone model records will be available for all participants following removal of the appliances (T0). Participants in both groups will have follow-up scheduled for 3 (T1), 6 (T2) and 12 (T3) months following removal of the braces. All participants will be instructed to wear standard clear, plastic (Essix-type) retainers on a full-time basis for 6 months, followed by night-time wear for a further 6 months. A micro-electronic timer will be integrated within the upper Essix-type retainer. All participants will be given standard advice at each recall visit. Participants in the intervention group will receive tailored electronic reminders in the form of a mobile application. The frequency and content of the reminders will be informed by qualitative interviews involving participants from an allied trial, and from posts related to orthodontic retainers shared on social media. Instructions on the necessary duration of retention, maintenance of retainers, departmental details, allied to advice on appropriate management for appliance breakages, and delineation of the implication of suboptimal retainer wear will be included. Also, information related the debond visit and maintenance of optimal oral hygiene levels will be incorporated in the mobile application. Participants in the control group will not receive additional reminders. Treating clinicians will be kept blind to the study group. All patients failing an appointment will be sent another. Those wishing to withdraw from the trial may do so at any point without affecting continuing care with records taken at the point of withdrawal from the study with data analysis on an intention to treat basis. Thereafter, patient experiences with electronic reminders will be evaluated on a subset of participants using one-to-one interviews.
A retrospective, observational study was performed about the patients with septic shock who admitted into intensive care unit (ICU) from January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016. The number of patients who received empiric antibiotic treatment within first hour after septic shock diagnosis were collected. Detailed information about clinical ladder for nursing stuff and nursing shift were collected . Clinical ladder for nursing stuff is a new definition based on education background and work experience and nurses stuff are classified into four levels. N0 was defined who got college degree or above, nurse qualification certificate and working time less than one year. N1 an N2 were defined as who got nurse qualification certificate and working time between 1~3 years and more than three years, respectively. N3 was defined who was nurse-in-charge qualification or got nurse practitioner qualification for more than five years. Compliance of empiric antibiotic treatment within first hour and evaluate the effect of nursing stuff on the compliance were calculated.
This feasibility study was developed to evaluate the proposed approaches for enrollment, sample collection, interview and retention over a six-month vaccination period for the clinical trial: "A scientific evaluation of one and two doses of the bivalent and nonavalent prophylactic HPV vaccines" (1DT) currently under development . These aspects will be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively by measuring the efforts needed to identify and recruit each study participant, the participation rate for the study, and the retention rate at six months, as well as collecting information on the acceptability of study procedures. To supplement the assessment of the acceptability of the self-collected swab among older girls, a parallel effort will be done at the end of this feasibility study. Combined, this feasibility work will allow for modifications to the design, approaches and methods of the new trial.
The hypothesis is that pediatric patients with increased levels of anxiety on the day of surgery, in particular at point of anesthetic induction, will demonstrate decreased compliance with assessment in ophthalmology clinic postoperatively.
