This study aims to compare the two groups of low back pain and health adults. To investigate the relationship among lumbar movement control, standing balance and physical activity. Methods used in the study will be clinical tools such as proprioception test, lumbar movement control, timed one-leg- standing balance and Y-balance test according to the Mat.
Spleen laceration is a lethal abdominal trauma and usually be diagnosed by medical images such as computed tomography. Deep learning had been proved its usage in detect abnormalities in medical images. In this trial, we used de-identified registry databank to develop a novel deep-learning based algorithm to detect the spleen trauma and to identify the injury locations.
The goal of this observational study is to compare in ICU patients received CVVH treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Control of Filtration fraction by built-in calculator - Reduced filter clotting and prolong filter lifespan - Improve patient mortality Participants will divided into before group and after group based on the day when built-in calculator for calculating Filtration fraction was utilized. Researchers will compare before group to see if there were differences in clotting events, filter downtime, filter lifespan, mortality, etc.
The purpose of this study to investigate the effects of personalized diabetes text messaging (DB-TEXT) combined with PSE in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study is an assessor-blinded, three-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial. Additionally, the investigators will use the CONSORT guidelines to report of trial finding. A diabetes management centers in East Java Province will be recruited for the participants from December 2022 to March 2023. The investigators will include participants who had been diagnosed with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (having HbA1C level of > 7% in the past three months), and who were 17 years or older (the legal age to provide informed consent in Indonesia) and having their own mobile phone. People who could not read or write Indonesian; had medical diagnostic with cognitive impairments, psychiatric disorders, or were diagnosed with cancer before the study will be excluded from the study. The outcomes of the study including demographic and disease characteristic, clinical outcomes, fatigue, sleep quality, depression, and quality of life. For the clinical outcomes, will be measured in laboratory test in diabetes management centers. Fatigue level will be measured using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20), sleep quality will be measured using a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) will be used to measure the depression level, and the Diabetes Quality of Life-Brief Clinical Inventory (The DQoL-BCI) will be used to assess the quality of life.
Background Bisphosphonates has been associated with a decreased risk of revision total joint replacements because of its effects on decreased periprosthetic bone loss and prosthetic migration. However, the results in the early literature are inconsistent and the influence of bisphosphonates on associated complications and subsequent total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains unknown. This study is to investigate the association between the use of bisphosphonates and risk of adverse outcomes after primary TJA. Materials and Methods This matched cohort study utilized National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan to identify patients who underwent primary TJA over a 15-year period (January 2000- December 2015 inclusive). Study participants were further categorized into two groups: bisphosphonates users and nonusers, using propensity score matching. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) of revision surgery, adverse outcomes of primary surgery and undergoing subsequent TJA were calculated using Cox regression analysis.
This is an intervention study aiming to understand the bioavailability of vitamin B12 from nori for vegetarians.
As a form of non-invasive auxiliary care, Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure can prevent constipation, reduce medication for constipation, save medical costs, and alleviate constipation among inpatients in neurology departments, as well as improve patients' general ease and comfort of defecation, thereby improving their quality of life. It also provides clinical nursing staff with a more effective, safer, and more comfortable auxiliary method of preventing constipation, and can be used as a reference for the nursing of such patients.
