There are about 218 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iceland. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate cardiotoxicity during re-challenge of a different modality of fluoropyrimidine (primary end-point S-1 and secondary any other fluoropyrimidine) after having perceived cardiotoxicity with a fluoropyrimidine based regimen previously. The patient population is being treated for solid tumors.
This research study is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task (a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris") for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of trauma among trauma-exposed women in Iceland. This is a single case series using a within subject multiple baseline AB design. Participants will aim to complete a no-intervention phase ('A': baseline phase) of one week followed by a one-week intervention phase ('B'), including a one-session intervention with a researcher comprising the simple cognitive task, followed by instructions to continue using the technique self-guided in subsequent weeks. Participants will be asked to monitor the occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma in a daily diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories during the intervention phase than during the preceding baseline phase and that the frequency of targeted intrusive memories is going to decrease relative to non-targeted intrusive memories. Furthermore, we will explore whether having fewer intrusive memories has an impact on function and/or PTSD, depressive or anxiety symptoms.
This study evaluates the benefits and harms of goal directed fluid removal with furosemide versus placebo in critical ill adult patients with fluid overload in the intensive care unit. Half of the patients will receive furosemide and the other half placebo. The treatment will continue until the excess fluid is excreted.
Spatial neglect (SN) is a common heterogeneous cognitive affliction that predicts poor recovery after a stroke. It is important to identify SN so alliviating actions can be initated. Results of this cross-country study between Iceland and Lithuania should provide information on how to best identify SN in clinical care.
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
This study aims to describe and measure the effectiveness of partnership-based nursing care for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their families. Investigators hypothesize that an holistic, inclusive -taking account of the challenge of multi-morbidity and the long-term relationship that patients with COPD and their families have with the nurses along with the open structure of whatever kind of services is needed in each patient-family case, often in interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration- , is beneficial as regards use of healthcare, health characteristics, HRQL, use of inhaler medications, sense of security in care and illness intrusiveness.
Because of short hospital stays, and nutritional status worsening for geriatric patients, time to improve this is limited. It seems necessary to integrate nutritional support after discharge, to prevent the consequences of malnutrition on health and physical capability. This study tests whether nutrition support using NCP (Nutrition Care Process) (1) in combination with delivered meals designed for old adults, improves nutritional status, muscle strength, physical function, quality of life and rehospitalization and mortality rates after discharge, compared to currently used care (2 = control) along with historical data. Participants (N = 200), will be randomized into two groups, the intervention will last 24 weeks. A dietitian (Ph.D. student) visits participants in the intervention group 5 times during the study period. Outcome parameters will be measured before discharge from the hospital, at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks. Data on hospital readmission and mortality will be followed up at 6 months after the intervention. Condition or disease: Malnutrition Intervention/treatment: NCP by a dietitian and free food constructed to fulfill protein and energy needs for the group.
Adolescence is a period of many physical, mental, emotional, and social changes. It is also associated with risk behaviour conducts. Nonetheless, not all youths under disadvantage, adversity, or exposure to risk factors experience negative mental health outcomes. The concept of RESILIENCE provides one possible explanation for the ability of some individuals to maintain positive mental health. Resilience is thus the ability of an individual or community to adapt to life challenges or adversities while maintaining mental health and well-being. The increasing prevalence of mental disorders amongst children (around 10-20% of young people) makes positive mental health promotion in schools necessary through intervention programmes. UPRIGHT (Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers) is a research and innovation project funded by the European Union´s Horizon 2020 programme (No. 754919). UPRIGHT general aim is to promote mental well-being and prevent mental disorders in youth by enhancing resilience capacities. It has been designed as a whole school approach addressing early adolescents, their families and the school community to finally create a real mental well-being culture at schools.
This extension study (CZPL389A2203E1) was designed as a 2-year (100 weeks) extension to the core study (CZPL389A2203/ NCT03517566) which is disclosed separately. It aimed to assess the short-term and long-term safety of (blinded) 30 mg o.d and 50 mg o.d ZPL389 with concomitant or intermittent use of topical corticosteroids (TCS) and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI).
The main purpose of the doctoral study is to better understand the experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment in how it effects sexuality and intimacy of the female cancer patient and her partner.
