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.
The aim of this study was to develop electronic systems (e-systems) for oncofertility support, and to examine the comprehensibility, feasibility, usability, and effects on social support and preparation for decision-making.
This study aims to investigate the frequency of personalized nutrition counseling's effect on individual cardiovascular risk factors. The study collected 110 to 150 cases data, including a regular blood test, blood glucose, blood lipid, liver panel, and inflammatory factors. The enrolled cases were classified into two groups according to the subjects' duration of consultation: those who completed the consultation and subsequent tests in >24 weeks were in the control group, whereas those who completed the consultation and subsequent tests in <24 weeks were in the test group. The effectiveness of nutrition consultation toward managing cardiovascular disease risk factors and its correlation with the subjects' frequency of following the consultations was analyzed using the pre- and post-consultation data. It was found that personalized nutrition consultation significantly improved the subjects' risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, and that the treatment group showed a greater improvement than the control group which who require over 24 weeks to complete all consultation sessions.
The purpose of this study is to treat with traditional Chinese medicine mouthwash, and through the research of dental plaque detection and xerostomia questionnaire and traditional Chinese medicine treatment mechanism.
It is necessary for nursing students to have sufficient knowledge and correct nursing skill before clinical practicum to provide patients appropriate care and improve nursing quality. The learning materials of nursing skills are mainly paper textbooks and handouts, which are one-way knowledge transmissions having limitations and deficiencies in nursing skill learning. Interactive e-books integrate multimedia such as text, images, and videos, which are more suitable for learning nursing skill and maximize the effectiveness of the learning materials. The present study aimed to develop a nasogastric tube feeding interactive e-book based on Information Processing Theory (IPT) and Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction Motivational Model (ARCS), hoping to improve students' learning motivation and learning effectiveness. This is a randomized controlled trial study. Convenience sampling will be applied. The participants will be recruited and randomly assigned into the experimental group and comparison group. The experimental group will read an interactive e-book to learn nasogastric tube feeding, while the comparison group will read a paper textbook.
This study aimed to explore the effects of a combination of 3D virtual reality (VR) and hands-on horticultural activities on the mental health of community-dwelling older adults.
The following case reported a rare complication of left atrial appendage perforation complicated by cardiac tamponade during LAAO device deployment and its corresponding surgical management
Malposition of an endotracheal tube (ETT) may lead to a great disaster. Developing a handy way to predict the proper depth of ETT fixation is in need. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) are proven to perform well on chest radiographs analysis. The investigators hypothesize that DCNNs can also evaluate pre-intubation chest radiographs to predict suitable ETT depth and no related studies are found. The authors evaluated the ability of DCNNs to analyze pre-intubation chest radiographs along with patients' data to predict the proper depth of ETT fixation before intubation.
This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, and cross-over study was designed to check whether the roselle-based drink (2 bottles every day) can alter blood pressure and skin condition in elderly healthy subjects.
Maintaining adequate physical activity (PA) and regularly exercising are very important to promote the good physical and mental health of the elderly. According to the transtheoretical model (TTM) framework, previous research studies have formulated many strategies to promote exercise behaviors, such as incentive strategies, combines municipal resources and links up with the referral of primary care institutions, or including patients in the decision-making process about exercise choices to enable patients to have greater autonomy. In addition, in terms of the strategic aspects of achieving goals, competitive incentives are also an effective strategy. Therefore, this study aims to find out the effects of the community-based physical fitness exercise course, which is given according to TTM, on improving functional fitness and exercise persistence of the older adults.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluable the safety and to demonstrate the immunogenicity of heterologous prime-boost (mRNA-1273, MVC-COV1901), compared to homologous prime-boost (mRNA-1273), with an interval of 8-12 weeks, This study also assesses the safety and tolerability of the study intervention and explores the immunogenicity by the antigen-specific immunoglobulin, the immunogenicity against the VoCs, the antigen specific cellular immune response, as well as the potential efficacy of study intervention in preventing COVID-19.
