Executive function play a key role in boosting human behavioural performance. Based on scientific literature, it is still controversial whether electroencephalography-based neurofeedback (EEG-NFB) represents an effective technique for enhancing healthy adults' executive function. This study evaluates generalized effects of 3-week EEG-NFB training, using self-regulation of the theta to beta wave ratio (TBR), on executive function in healthy adults. The subjects are an uniform group of healthy young right-handed males divided into two equal groups. The trained group (TR) performs 3-week EEG-NFB training (three sessions per week) focused on a cognitive self-regulation of TBR (to achieve the lower TBR values as beneficial cognitive effect), while the control group (CO) does not participate in the EEG-NFB training. Cognitive function are rated before and after 3-week EEG-NFB training by psychological tests: Trail Making Test (TMT, parts A and B) and the Stroop Test (ST, parts I and II). This project is important for the future development of effective EEG-NFB protocols to be used by healthy people to improve their behavioural performance.
Insulin resistance is a key feature of postoperative metabolism, leading to decreased glucose absorption in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, with an increased glucose release due to hepatic gluconeogenesis and hyperglycemia. Development of insulin resistance is associated with increased length of hospital stay (LOS), morbidity, and mortality. One of the strategies employed to reduce the postoperative stress response and perioperative insulin resistance includes the reduction of the preoperative fasting time via preoperative carbohydrate oral (CHO) drink. Preoperative carbohydrate intake is an integral part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and previous studies have shown that preoperative carbohydrate loading can increase patient comfort. Although ERAS protocols are increasingly used and implemented in bariatric surgery centres specific components of these protocols, such as preoperative oral carbohydrate nutrition, have not yet been rigorously analyzed. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the differences in patient outcomes between preoperative CHO loading and a conventional fasting protocol. The secondary aim is to perform a subgroup analysis of Roux-en-Y bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to compare the efficacy and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with durvalumab and carboplatin compared with pembrolizumab in combination with histology-specific platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment of adults with stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (including sensitizing EGFR mutations, and ALK and ROS1 rearrangements).
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - a stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - temporary stroke-like symptoms with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. The way it works, it aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or temporary stroke-like symptoms when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo as tablets once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
This study is looking at how Mim8 works in people with haemophilia A, who either have inhibitors or do not have inhibitors. Mim8 is a new medicine that will be used to avoid bleeding episodes. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). When and how often the participants will receive Mim8 in this study depends on the treatment participant receives in the current Mim8 study participant is taking part in. The study will last for up to 5.5 years. The duration of the study depends on when the participant enrolled in this study. The study will end if Mim8 is approved and marketed in participant's country during the study, or the study will end in 2028, whichever comes first. Mim8 will be injected under the skin with a thin needle either once a week, once every two weeks or once a month. Participants will get up to 262 injections; the number of injections depends on how often participants will get injections. While taking part in this study, there are some restrictions about what medicine participants can use. The study doctor will tell the participants more about this. In case the participants experience bleeds, these can be treated with additional haemostatic medicine as agreed with the study doctor. Female participants cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
The aim of the study is to assess whether soft tissue flossing therapy will alleviate eccentric muscle-destroying influences. Men aged 20-25 will be tested. Suddenly taking up activity in untrained people and performing the fatigue protocol is a heavy burden for the body, and its effects may have a negative impact on the body. The assessment of the processes taking place in the body under the influence of this type of physical activity with the use of soft tissue flossing will broaden the scope of knowledge about this therapeutic method and will allow assessing whether it has an impact on accelerating regeneration after intense physical exertion.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) compared with primary closure (PC) in surgical site infection (SSI) prevention for laparotomy for peritonitis.
