There are about 10560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Taiwan. 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.
This study explores the pathological constitution as it relates to low quality of life with HIV- infected MSM patients, as a reference for clinical treatment.
Patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) are an unexpected event that consequently causes physical and psychological problems, including ICU acquired weakness, delirium, sleep disruptions, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such consequences may lead to prolonged ICU stay, increased health care, and elevated medical costs. Therefore, mitigating physical and psychological distresses by providing timely effective interventions has become a top concern to optimize critically ill patients' recovery. Investigators aim to design an interactive hand-grip game to improve patients' upper limbs activities and psychological health in patients requiring intensive care.
The incidence of intraoperative hypotension was 91%. The increasing incidence of intraoperative hypotension would increase the risk of postoperative complications, such as postoperative arrythmia, stroke or acute kidney injury. Major gastrointestinal surgery is a major surgery. Older patients usually have many comorbidity, such as hypertension or cardiovascular disease. Prevention intraoperative hypotension is an important issue. Hypotension prediction index (HPI) could give the clinician pre-alarm of hypotension (mean arterial pressure (MAP)<65mmHg). In this study, we aimed to investigate whether HPI could prevent the intraoperative hypotension happened in patients receive elective major gastrointestinal surgery with older than 65 years old.
The patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) have the risk of ineffective coughing and infection due to diaphragm weakness, making it more difficult to wean. This study aimed to explore the intervention of abdominal weight training (AWT) with/ without cough machine (CM) on lung function, respiratory muscle strength and cough ability in these patients.
This study aims to (1) test the effect of Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module on resilience, family function, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their families and caregivers; and (2) interview stroke survivors (experimental group) using a semi-structured questionnaire to achieve a mix of qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
The ability to communicate and cooperate effectively is essential in geriatric nursing. However, nursing teachers lacked the exploration of the development of this ability and teaching evaluation in previous studies. The investigators used a systematic process to investigate methods for achieving the following goals: 1. Cultivate a positive attitude toward the elderly among nursing students. 2. Improve nursing students' communication competence and interaction skills when providing advanced health care services. 3. Improve the teaching skills of professional nursing instructors.
Aim: By application of wearable devices and health management platform to strengthen physical activity and improved life quality in hemodialysis patients.
Regurgitation is an adverse event common during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and occurs in 20%-32% of patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). It can impair ventilation, induce aspiration, and decrease survival to hospital discharge. Gastric fluid in the airway obscures the laryngeal view, thereby considerably decreasing the first-pass success of endotracheal intubation (ETI) by paramedics. A human cadaver study reported that ETI outperforms other airway management devices, such as the i-gel, laryngeal mask, and laryngeal tube, in preventing aspiration when regurgitation occurs during CPR. However, ETI is also associated with multiple and prolonged CPR pauses.Compared with the use of supraglottic airway (SGA) devices, ETI results in more hands-off time during CPR. Recent randomised clinical trials have revealed that airway management with an SGA device provides superior outcomes to those of ETI in patients with OHCA. However, ETI remains the preferred management strategy for an airway affected by regurgitation in patients with OHCA. Current guidelines focus on the quality of CPR because it is a key determinant of survival in patients with OHCA. However, evidence regarding the impact of regurgitation during ETI on CPR quality is limited. This manikin simulation study assessed CPR quality during ETI in airways with and without regurgitation.
The aim of the study was to use probiotic beauty products for 4 weeks and evaluate the impact of products on healthy skin.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug insulin efsitora alfa (LY3209590) is safe and effective in participants with Type 2 diabetes that have already been treated with basal insulin. The study consists of a 3-week screening/lead-in period, a 78-week treatment period and a 5-week safety follow-up period. The study will last up to 86 weeks.
