Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DIAL (an innovative and user-friendly solution based on Multiplatform Voice Assistive Technologies) in reducing unwanted loneliness and increasing the mental health and the quality of life in individuals over 65 years old. Additionally, a secondary objective is to evaluate the experience of using the system, including aspects of usability and satisfaction, and to analyze whether the functionalities provided by DIAL contribute to the improvement of various dimensions in the lives of the elderly. It is hypothesized that DIAL will reduce unwanted loneliness and improve mental health in older people. In addition, we aim to obtain positive ratings in terms of usability and satisfaction with DIAL, along with the verification that most of the functionalities provided by DIAL will be useful to older people.
1. Assessment the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in diabetic patient in Assuit University Hospital. 2. Determine the associated factors with the psychiatric disorders.
This study targets adult patients treated with high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) at emergency department (ED) of Severance hospital, Yonsei university. Patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure presenting to the ED receive conventional oxygen therapy as initial treatment unless immediate endotracheal intubation is required. Partial rebreathing oxygen masks are mainly applied at first. If the patient's condition does not improve despite such treatment, the patient receives HFNC or endotracheal intubation. However, possible treatment range have not been studied, especially in ED. Decisions are made based on the personal experience of the medical staff in charge. Applying HFNC to patients who eventually fail can lead to delayed intubation and increased mortality. Failure prediction models such as ROX index and HACOR score have been developed due to such reasons. However, such models are mostly based on intensive care unit studies and after application of HFNC. Therefore, failure prediction model at the time before application of HFNC and efficacy of existing models in ED are necessary. This study is a prospective observational study and follows the standard treatment guidelines applied to the patient and the judgment of the attending physician during the patient's treatment process. Immediately before applying HFNC, the patient's respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, SpO₂, PaO₂, PaCO₂, GCS score are determined, and FiO₂ is measured above upper lips using oxygen analyzer(MaxO2+AE, Maxtec, USA). From these data, ROX index (SF ratio/respiratory rate), ROX-HR (ROX index/pulse rate), POX index (PF ratio/respiratory rate), POX-HR (POX index/pulse rate), and HACOR score (Heart Rate, Acidosis, Consciousness, Oxygenation, Respiratory rate) are calculated. The settings (flow rate, FiO₂, temperature) at the time of HFNC application are also measured. The same indices and HFNC settings are checked 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours after applying HFNC. Modified Borg score and comfort scale using 5-point Likert scale are additionally determined at 30 minutes for patient's comfort. Primary outcome is HFNC failure at 28 days, defined by endotracheal intubation. Other outcomes include intubation in ED and mortality at 28 and 90 days collected through phone interview. The receiver operating curve for ROX index, HACOR score, ROX-HR, and POX-HR at baseline, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours are drawn for the outcomes. The area under the curve of the above indices are compared and cutoff values are chosen with maximum value of index J by the Youden's Index. A binary variable is created based on the cutoff values and multivariable logistic regression analyses are performed. Cutoff values for maximum specificity are also invested suggesting the lower limit of the indicator to which HFNC can be applied.
This project aims to adapt, implement, and evaluate a Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training group intervention for aging adult family caregivers of person with Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) to reduce suicidality. By adapting this modality, the investigators will provide a scalable intervention tailored for this high-risk population, maximizing the public health impact and improving suicide prevention.
In this study, using three phases, the investigators will use an iterative development approach to refine a behavioral intervention for managing concomitant psychosocial distress in glaucoma. Phase 1: The investigators will begin by developing a baseline intervention using strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and delivered using a mobile application. Phase 2: The investigators will refine the baseline intervention for glaucoma patients using qualitative interviews conducted with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with psychosocial distress (N=20), and health professionals (N=5). Phase 3: Finally, the investigators will measure acceptability and feasibility of the refined intervention through a single-armed pilot study (N=25). The investigators hypothesize that the refined intervention will yield an acceptable and feasible intervention in a POAG patient population, setting the stage for a future efficacy study.
This study will investigate the anti-anhedonic efficacy of a novel neurostimulation strategy termed accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) in participants with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical efficacy of CYB004 participants with GAD with depressive symptoms.
The goal of this open label case series is to learn about the feasibility of conducting a future randomised controlled trial to evaluate how well the Perinatal SMILES intervention works in improving post-cesarean mood in low-income women. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is it feasible to recruit a sufficient number of participants? 2. Is it feasible to administer Perinatal SMILES and 3. Is it feasible to collect participant outcomes? To profile EEG in participants at rest and in response to TMS, before and after subcutaneous ketamine Participants will: 1. Complete five sessions of interpersonal therapy 2. Receive two skin injections of ketamine, approximately 24 hours apart, in the first four postpartum day 3. Receive additional therapy sessions before (to prepare for ketamine) and after (interpersonal therapy) each ketamine injection 4. Undergo assessments of brain electrical activity (at rest and evoked by trans-cranial magnetic stimulation) before and at three timepoints in the 10 hours after each ketamine injection 5. Complete mood assessments over the first 12 postpartum weeks
Negative psychological effects of cancer are common, but cancer survivors are rarely offered structured psychological treatment. Internet-delivered treatments have shown some promise, but specific treatment components have not been empirically evaluated which means that it is not clear which therapies that should be prioritized. In this randomized factorial trial at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, 400 cancer survivors with psychiatric symptoms are enrolled in variations on a 10-week therapist-guided online psychological treatment intended to address the negative psychological long-term effects of cancer. The aim is to determine the contribution of treatment components to the overall effect.
Effective pharmacological and psychological treatments for depression are available. However, treatment modalities are not accessible to all patients diagnosed with depression. Furthermore, some individuals who access treatment drop out and relapse after treatment. Improving treatment modalities for depression is important given the rates of individuals diagnosed worldwide, and rather than developing new treatments, there is a need to explore how existing treatment modalities can be improved and implemented in a simpler and more cost-effective way. To address this need, Metacognitive Training for Depression (DMCT) was developed as a low-cost, easy-to-implement, cognitive behavioral therapy-based group intervention. The aim of Metacognitive Training is to reduce depressive symptoms by working with the patient's cognitive biases from a metacognitive perspective. The effectiveness of this method, which has been proven effective by studies in the literature, is presented with a pilot study on older adults in 2018. Since the studies evaluating the effectiveness of the Metacognitive Training-Silver program are limited and it has not yet been adapted to Turkish culture, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Metacognitive Training-Silver program in older adults diagnosed with depression.
