Filter by:This study is a population-based, patient-level analysis of colon and ovarian cancer diagnoses in England over a 2-year period using a dataset created by linking NCRAS and NHS digital datasets. Our analyses will look into inequalities in the diagnostic and treatment pathway, and inequalities in treatment received, for those diagnosed with colon and ovarian cancer between 2016-2017.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy safety and tolerability of ultevursen administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) in subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene.
The main objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the onset of fall and the time taken to complete the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) in this CMT1A patient population. The investigators hypothesize that patients with balance disorders and therefore a risk of major fall will require a longer time to perform the Timed Up and Go test. In addition, it seems important to confirm that the severity of the disease has a negative impact on the frequency of balance disorders.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of DTX401 to reduce or eliminate dependence on exogenous glucose replacement therapy to maintain euglycemia and to maintain or improve the quality of glucose control.
When muscles are not contracting, the local energy demand by muscle and use of specific fuels used to produce energy by oxidative metabolism are minimal. The time people spend sitting inactive (sedentary time) typically comprises more than half of the day. This sedentary behavior is associated with elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and multiple conditions leading to poor aging. From a progressive series of experiments, the driving goal is to develop a physiological method for sustaining contractile activity via oxidative metabolism over more time than is possible by traditional exercise (hours, not minutes per day). Developing a physiological method suitable of prolonged muscular activity for ordinary people (who are often unfit) requires gaining fundamental insights about muscle biology and biomechanics. This also entails a careful appreciation of the ability to isolate specific muscles in the leg during controlled movements, such as the soleus muscle during isolated plantarflexion. This includes quantifying specific biological processes that are directly responsive to elevated skeletal muscle recruitment. The investigators will focus on movement that is safe and practical for ordinary people to do given their high amount of daily sitting time. This includes developing methods to optimally raise muscle contractile activity, in a way that is not limited by fatigue, and is feasible throughout as many minutes of the day as possible safely. This also requires development of methodologies to quantify specific muscular activity, rather than generalized body movement. There is a need to learn how much people can increase muscle metabolism by physical activity that is perceived to them as being light effort. It is important to learn if this impacts systemic metabolic processes under experimental conditions over a short term time span in order to avoid confounding influences of changes in body weight or other factors.
This randomized crossover study aimed to evaluate whether a multimodal biopsy strategy using both needle and forceps can provide additive benefits compared with a single device for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy under moderate sedation and assess the comparative yield and discordance between the two devices.
To determine the short-term effects of concurrent valve ablation and bladder neck incision on re-intervention rate for patients with posterior urethral valve.
In this study the investigators will examine psychiatric symptoms, central neurocognitive functions, parental stress and attachment styles, and biological factors that can give new knowledge about some of the mechanisms present in children referred to outpatient psychiatric clinics. A specific focus will be given to children suffering from severe irritability.
The present study wish to compare the preliminarily effects and feasibility of Modified Collaborative Assessment (MCA) - a novel therapeutic approach to diagnostic assessment - with assessment-as-usual among patients with evasiveness as a core psychopathological feature in a randomised controlled study design.
This study will evaluate the accuracy of the condition suggestions and urgency advice of the Swahili language Ada symptom assessment application (SAA), when symptoms are input by a lay-person user and a medical professional; these SAA results will then be compared to the condition suggestions and urgency advice of different tiers of doctors and a "gold standard" created by a panel.
