Filter by:Renal tubules play an important role in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis. Defect of these functions can give rise to a host of disorders. These disorders can lead to life threatening disturbances in electrolytes and acid-base balance. In Egypt, there is little data about these disorders. Many of these cases are diagnosed late, therefore Early suspicion for diagnosis can improve the overall clinical outcome of these children.
The aim of the study was to assess and compare the relationship between jaw function, neck disability, sleep quality, fatigue, and headache in patients with myofascial Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) with Sleep Bruxism (SB) and without (non-SB).
The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) delivered by local counselors, on the mental health and socio-economic empowerment of survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) who suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), in North and South Kivu in Eastern DRC. The counselors will be trained and supervised by clinical experts from the NGO Vivo International. The therapy is expected to reduce the symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety in SGBV survivors. The project is expected to directly impact and improve the beneficiaries' mental health outcomes of interest, and to indirectly impact and enhance their economic empowerment in the medium term and social functioning both in the short and medium term. This proposed impact evaluation will answer the following research questions: 1) What is the impact of NET on survivors' psychosocial wellbeing, economic empowerment and social functioning and participation? 2) Does the impact of NET differ depending on individual and household characteristics as well as context-specific factors?
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of PRAX-114 in participants with moderate to severe major depressive disorder (MDD). Participants will be randomized to receive 28 days of either 40 mg PRAX-114 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.
The retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the Auriculotemporal Nerve Block (ATNB) in achieving unrestricted mouth opening amount and in reducing the pain scores in those patients diagnosed with disc displacement with (DDWR) and without reduction (DDWOR) according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, who could not benefit from noninvasive methods but did not want further invasion.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of commercially available genital vibrator use on sexual health, female pelvic floor disorders, and overall quality of life among a diverse population of women.
The aim of our study is to examine the effect of social isolation on physical activity level, health literacy and kinesophobia in heart rhythm disorders.
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has increased in recent years. There are concerns that PPIs have possible negative effects on bone metabolism. It has been suggested that PPIs may reduce the absorption of calcium from the small intestine and lead to bone resorption by affecting osteoclastic activity. In this study, it is planned to investigate the effects of lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on bone turnover markers in pediatric patients with gastroesophageal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in several challenges in service delivery for the eating disorders program at McMaster Children's Hospital. Long waiting lists prior to the pandemic (6-9 month wait time) have been made worse by an interruption in service during the initial stages of the pandemic. New routine assessments were placed on hold for many months, while only the most urgently ill children were seen. This, in combination with a dramatic increase in new referrals has resulted in a long waitlist. Now families are waiting 12-18 months for service. The resulting waitlist is now unmanageable and unsafe. Investigators wish to study the implementation of a waitlist intervention which will educate parents on how to start to renourish their children and interrupt eating disordered behaviors. The intervention will consist of a series of educational videos and a book on how to help their children. It is hoped that this intervention can lessen the need for hospitalization and can change the trajectory of symptoms while waiting for service. A clinical care pathway will also be developed to ensure those waiting receive the most appropriate treatment.
60 subjects were recruited and divided into placebo group and fermented grape drinks group.
