Filter by:This longitudinal observational study tests the associations between physical activity, health-related quality of life, and psychopathology symptoms among people diagnosed with schizophrenia or diagnosed with affective disorders. It was assumed that higher levels of physical activity at baseline will be related to better quality of life (across physical, social, and psychological domains), and lower psychopathology symptoms (positive and negative symptoms of psychosis, general psychopathology, and depression severity) at 6-week follow-up measurement. Adult participants with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder or a diagnosis of an affective disorder will be enrolled.
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a term describing musculoskeletal conditions of the face, jaw and temporal regions. TMD is frequently associated with pain and/or dysfunction such as impaired jaw function, pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), muscles and/or related structures, and associated headaches. The aetiology of TMD is multifactorial and complex.
This is a multi-centre study within England to evaluate whether the Burdett Trust National Transition Network and the implementation of the Model of Improvement for Transition has an impact on the experience of transitioning from child to adult services for young people, and their families. A concurrent mixed methods design will be utilised with qualitative (interviews/case studies), and quantitative descriptive (surveys) data collected simultaneously over three phases. Participants will include young people, parents, and professionals involved in the young person's transition journey.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the prevalence of Childbirth post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) and Childbirth post-traumatic stress symptom (CB-PTSS) in Switzerland, and to analyze the psychological, medical, and social factors linked with CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, whether they are antecedent factors or further consequences. The main questions it aims to answer are : - The prevalence of CB-PTSS and CB-PTSD in Switzerland, for both mothers and partners (Primary outcome) - The risk and protective factors of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS (Secondary outcome) - The impact of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS on the marital and co-parental adjustment and the bonding with the infant (Secondary outcome) - The role of the childbirth experience on the triggering of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including emotional and affective aspects (Secondary outcome) - The social and economic determinants of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including, for example, social support and religion (Secondary outcome) Participants will fill up surveys at four time points: - T1, during the third trimester of pregnancy - T2, at 6 to 12 weeks post-partum - T3, at 6 months post-partum - T4, at 12 months post-partum
Mammography is a two-dimensional imaging technique which involves the tissues overlapping under the projective image; dense glandular tissue above or below the lesion can reduce the visibility of the lesion. The trouble could be the interpretation of the image obtained which may lead to the inability to visualize a fist stage cancer and the probability that to a healthy person will be diagnosed a pathology that is not present (false positive). The introduction of an almost three-dimensional technique imaging called breast digital tomosynthesis (DBT) can overcome most limitations. In the last 5 years image analysis methods based on Artificial Intelligence (, AI) have also been massively introduced in breast cancer detection. The study is a prospective observational study based on Artificial intelligence whose the mail goal is to develop a method to identify a lesion.
This study aims to understand the role of Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound on craving levels for cocaine as evidenced by diagnostic imaging of the dorsal anterior insula (dAI) and subjective ratings. Data analysis will serve to show if 1) LIFU is safe and effective and to 2) examine the effects of LIFU on dAI BOLD activity and craving in response to cocaine cue-exposure. The study will screen 60 individuals with Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD) to arrive at 30 enrolled subjects, based on a 2:1 screen/randomization ratio.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of screening for liver disease with liver stiffness measurement on abstinence or light consumption after 6 months in individuals who are receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder and without a history of liver disease. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation comparing A) an invitation to a liver stiffness measurement, blood sampling and leaflet on alcohol-related disease (intervention) with B) an invitation to blood sampling (control). The primary outcome is 'abstinence or light consumption' (≤ 10 units/week) throughout the last months, and assessed 6 months after randomization.
Orthodontic removable retainers are appliances that hold the position of the upper and lower teeth after fixed braces treatment and they can be removed from a patient's mouth. Basically, there are 2 types of removable retainers; Hawley retainer and vacuum-formed retainer. Hawley retainer is made of an acrylic resin plate that covers the palate for the upper jaw and the back of the arch facing the tongue for the lower jaw. It has thin stainless-steel wires incorporated to fit the first molars and the six front teeth as retention. Vacuum-formed retainer (VFR) is a clear or transparent plastic retainer. It covers the teeth completely and a small part of the gum. The investigators' interest is to determine whether the storage conditions will affect the amount of bacteria, appearance and strength of removable retainers. Primarily, the amount of bacteria that sticks to the retainers may cause overall dental and oral health effects such as mouth odour, dental caries and gum problems. The investigators would also like to assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of participants after storing retainers in different storage conditions by answering a questionnaire.
The study aims to examine the efficacy of a telehealth-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) + benzodiazepine taper (BZ-TP) program in facilitating reductions in benzodiazepine use among patients who are prescribed opioids for pain.
This study is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 2 clinical trial. Approximately 15 participants with clinically diagnosed bipolar disorder (BD) type II and experiencing a current episode of depression will be included in this study. The participants will receive an individualized dosing regimen (IDR) with at least one and up to three doses of GH001 administered within a single day.
