There are about 3491 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Singapore. 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 study will be conducted in two parts (part A and part B). The main purpose of this study is to compare the amount of LY3209590 that gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it, when self-administered at different body sites, abdominal wall, upper arm and thigh (part A), when administered by two different routes of injection, subcutaneously or intravenously (part B) in healthy participants. The study may last up to 65 (part A) and 184 (part B) days, respectively.
The overarching aim of the project is to assess whether structure learning is an effective tool to train and improve cognitive flexibility and whether this is transferable to learning and other cognitive skills. The investigators will employ a multi-modal approach that combine both cognitive-behavioural and neuroimaging measures to examine how functional brain activations and/or cognitive performances are affected when participants go through a structure learning training paradigm relative to a working memory training paradigm (active control) or a no-training paradigm (passive control).
The main purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability and side effects related to LY3875383 given as a single injection under the skin to healthy participants and participants with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels.The study will also assess how fast LY3875383 gets into the blood stream and how long the body takes to get rid of it. Each enrolled participant will receive a single dose of either LY3875383 or placebo.The study will be conducted in four parts (A, B, C and D) and may last up to approximately 28 to 56 weeks including screening.
To study the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of various modalities used for the assessment of anastomotic leak in esophagogastric surgery and to identify the most sensitive technique. Secondarily, to propose a clinical algorithm to guide clinicians in the diagnosis of anastomotic leaks esophagogastric surgeries.
Dietary nitrate is found to enhance muscle fatty acid oxidation/glucose uptake and increase mitochondrial biogenesis, which in turn, aid in the prevention and management of metabolic diseases. In recent years, inorganic nitrate supplementation is clinically emerging as a therapeutic strategy for possible treatment and management of metabolic diseases and cardiometabolic disorders. This is mostly explored in healthy/obese subjects, for improving blood pressure, endothelial function, insulin response and vascular effects. However, the metabolic effects of dietary nitrate for improving skeletal muscle glucose/lipid metabolism, muscle mitochondrial metabolism, muscle blood flow and body fat composition are not comprehensively studied in diabetic/pre-diabetic subjects. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a natural nitrate supplement (beetroot juice) for improving overall metabolic health in obese pre-diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the levels of study drug called LY3502970 in the blood stream when administered alone and in combination with cyclosporine in healthy participants. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3502970 in healthy participants. This study will last up to approximately 76 days for each participant.
This paper is intended to report our observational study in evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Tan Tock Seng Hospital hepatopancreatobiliary unit's surgical workload from January to June across 2019 to 2022, corresponding to the pre-pandemic baseline to its peak and the gradual normalization of hospital services as Singapore entered the transition phase to COVID-19 resilience.
Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.
Acute and chronic non-cancer pain is a common healthcare problem locally and globally, leading to many inpatient admissions for poorly controlled pain. The World Health Organisation has declared that access to adequate pain control is a fundamental human right. Yet in our current practice, both acute and chronic non-cancer pain remain poorly controlled. There is passive over-reliance on pharmacological agents and interventional procedures in the management of pain. The opioid epidemic with issues of dependence, misuse, and overdose is especially concerning. Therefore, there is a pertinent clinical need to find sustainable non-pharmacological adjuncts in the complex management of pain. Virtual reality (VR) involves the use of technology to create a three-dimensional multisensory artificial environment replacing real-world sensory inputs. Initially created solely for entertainment purposes, VR applications have since expanded and made its way into healthcare. In Pain Medicine, the application of VR has been promising. There is currently no VR study done in our local population who suffer from pain issues. In our study, we aim to test the feasibility of applying the use of VR in patients admitted inpatient due to pain issues. We believe that VR can be used as an adjunctive tool improve pain management and patient satisfaction.
This study aims to use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to build and optimize a multicomponent intervention that improves diet quality. The investigators have evaluated the effects of evidence-based public health interventions on consumers' diet quality via a web-based grocery store "NUSMart" as part of Aim 1 of this study. Considering that the goal is to identify promising interventions that may optimize online grocery platforms, the investigators used Aim 1's results to assemble a multicomponent intervention that would significantly affect diet quality: a combination of three behavioral nudges that include food labels & real-time feedback, ordering, and healthier substitute offers (a subset of the interventions examined in Aim 1). Aim 2 study aims to rigorously evaluate this multicomponent intervention.
