Type of Study: Clinical Trial Goal: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate specific brown and beige fat cells in the dorsocervical area of young, lean adult women. Participant Population/Health Conditions: The study will involve 40 young, lean adult women. Main Questions: The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Are there active brown or beige adipocytes in the subcutaneous fat of the dorsocervical area (i.e., iBAT)? - What is the secretory function of these adipocytes? - How do traditional interventions like cold exposure, as well as new approaches like Beta-2 agonist stimulation and exercise, affect the thermogenesis of these fat cells at the cellular and molecular levels? Participants Will: Be randomized into one of four groups: thermoneutral exposure, cold exposure, aerobic exercise, or Beta-2 agonist treatment. Follow their assigned regimen for 4 weeks. Provide tissue samples from the dorsocervical area and abdomen before and after the 4-week intervention. Undergo analysis of these samples using advanced techniques to understand the presence and activity of brown and beige fat cells. Comparison Group: Researchers will compare the effects of different interventions (thermoneutral exposure, cold exposure, aerobic exercise, Beta-2 agonist treatment) on the presence and thermogenesis of brown and beige fat cells in the dorsocervical area.
This study is a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial, that will be performed on 192 women on Menopause (absence of menstruation for at least 12 months), with diagnostic of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (SGM) and a vaginal health index <15 points, that are sexually active. Patients will be randomized 1:1, equal number assigned to each of the two treatment groups, to receive treatment with two dose of Cellular Matrix / A-CP-HA Kit (a combination of autologous platelet-rich plasma and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid) separated for a month, and control group that will receive the standard treatment for SGM, local estrogen therapy (Blissel, estriol 50 micrograms/g vaginal gel). Both groups will be follow-up for 3 and 6 month afther treatment, a blind observer will assess the application of the validated scale (VHIS, VHI), and the investigators will do the FSD, symptom record, maturation index, follow-up photography and evaluation of adverse events and treatment compliance and adherence.
Background. Football accounts for 30% of all sports injuries. Muscle injuries in football are the most common non-traumatic and non-contact injuries. A comprehensive approach to injury prevention must consider the design of the footwear and the environmental conditions in which the match is played. Objective. To assess the risk of injury as a function of footwear and field of play in non-professional football players and to identify the best predictive model of muscle injury in these athletes. Method. Ambispective cohort study. Ninety-seven players will be recruited. The primary variable will be the number of lower limb muscle injuries in the last 3 seasons. Secondary and modifying variables will be: age, body mass index, boot type, pitch turf, training load and field position. Potential confounding variables will be motivation for choice of footwear, date of muscle injuries, time playing in the category and presence in the starting team. The analysis will calculate the risk of adverse effects in these patients and assess the influence of confounders and trend analysis on the primary variable, stratified by potential confounders. Expected outcomes. To calculate the risk of muscle injury as a function of anthropometric variables, and footwear and turf type. To identify the predictive model of muscle injuries in football players.
Online exercise has increased in popularity during the pandemic, but there is no evidence of its feasibility and benefits in older people and the influence of motivational strategies. The main aims of this project are: i) To analyze the influence of applying or not motivational strategies during different physical exercise interventions (face-to-face and online) on the effect on mental health, physical health and adherence, according to sex/gender; ii) To analyze and compare the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of face-to-face and online exercise interventions on mental health, physical health and adherence, according to sex/gender. Participants will be 104 community-dwelling older adults (60-75 years) who will be randomized assigned to control, supervised face to face, supervised face to face plus motivation, synchronous online supervised exercise or synchronous online supervised exercise groups. The control group will carry out the usual activities they have been doing, and the intervention groups will participate for 24 weeks in multicomponent exercise intervention. Study assessments will be made before starting the intervention, at the end and after 24 weeks of follow-up. Primary variables will be changes in mental and physical health, assessed by the Trail Making Test, the Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale, and lower extremity power measured by the sit to stand test. Secondary outcomes will include other parameters of mental and physical health, blood markers, physical activity, and cost-effectiveness analysis. The dropout rate, the attendance at the sessions, the injuries and other adverse events suffered by the participants, and technical incidences produced in the online modality will also be recorded. The results of this project will provide insight into the mental and physical health effects and feasibility of face-to-face and synchronous online supervised physical exercise interventions, and identify older adults' perceptions of the safety, barriers and facilitators of these interventions for future application and transfer to community settings.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) in patients treated with one of the following two surgeries: (1) cataract surgery with preservation of the diseased endothelial cells ("cataract surgery only experimental intervention, investigational therapy/ arm 1); (2) cataract surgery combined with removal of the diseased endothelial cells and the attached Descemet's membrane followed by transplantation of a healthy endothelial cell layer with attached Descemet's membrane ("triple-DMEK"(""cataract surgery only", control intervention comparator therapy/ arm 2)
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab in participants with newly diagnosed advanced stage Follicular Lymphoma (FL).
The goal of this observational study is to analyze the differences in muscle activation of six muscles of the lower leg (soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis, tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, peroneus brevis) in seven possible configurations of a specific instability device, the Blackboard (BB), as well as on the floor, among healthy active subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Which configuration of the BB produces the highest activation for each studied muscle? 2. Which muscle is the most activated in each configuration of the BB? 3. What is the muscle activation pattern obtained in each configuration of the BB? A single group of participants will be analyzed. Both the studied leg and the order of configurations of the instability device and ground condition will be randomly assigned. Participants will first undergo a 2-minute continuous walking warm-up, followed by a performance of a maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for each muscle, during which the maximum activation produced will be recorded. Each participant will be allowed a 30-second familiarization period on the most unstable configuration of the BB. Three repetitions of 20 seconds will be recorded on both the ground and each configuration, with a 30-second rest between repetitions. The central 10 seconds of each trial will be used for subsequent analysis. The mean of the three repetitions for each muscle will be calculated and subsequently processed and normalized by the maximum activation value during the MIVC. Finally, a statistical analysis of the differences in muscle activation in each configuration will be conducted with the intention of addressing the mentioned questions.
