Filter by:The Pictou County Personal Empowerment Program is a comprehensive health promotion program aiming to improve the quality of life as well as both physical and mental health in Adults living with chronic medical conditions. The program includes daily email communications over 6 months that encourage a range of self-management and health promoting activities, including strength and aerobic exercise, yoga, stress reduction techniques, dietary improvements, relationship/intimacy education and more.
SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus responsible for developing the disease known as COVID-19. Once the acute phase of the disease has passed, about 40% of the people who discharged continue to have symptoms, and of these, between 50 and 70% present them up to three months later. These persistent symptoms include physical aspects such as fatigue and dyspnea, but also cardiac such as palpitations, cognitive such as mental confusion, and psycho-emotional such as depression, anxiety, and stress. SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with a hyperinflammatory state, including excessive inflammatory cell infiltration, inflammasomes activation. In this context, omega-3 metabolites (Special Pro-resolving Mediators-SPMs) restore the balance in nutritional and molecular levels of eicosanoids. A more direct and targeted way to increase SPMs levels is Omega3 Essential Nutrition with natural SPMs taken by mouth. Today, there are dietary supplements containing SPMs (LIPINOVA®), made from fish oil through a fractionation process. LIPINOVA® is a nutritional supplement patented by Solutex GC S.L., obtained through several fractionation stages (extraction, purification, separation, concentration) from rich-in-omega-3 fish oil (without additives). Each capsule contains 498 mg of fish oil and 2 mg of tocopherols. This represents a variable quantity from 50 to 150 mg of EPA (20%), a variable quantity from 100 to 225 mg of DHA (30%), as well as the following quantities of EPA and DHA active metabolites, obtained from a pool of natural lipid mediators contained in omega-3 oil: 40-200 mcg of 17-HDHA, 25-200 mcg of 18-HEPE and 20-100 mcg of 14-HDHA. In addition to this, the appearance of this new health condition, post-COVID condition, has once again led physiotherapists to update themselves in search of the best evidence to guide the examination and necessary rehabilitation interventions in this type of patient. Studies have shown how physiotherapy sessions that include a multimodal program could be the most indicated for this type of patients. Patients with this condition present an increase in fatigue, dyspnea and a decrease in their functional capacity and, therefore, a decrease in their quality of life, due to various pathogenic mechanisms that include chronic hyperinflammation. These patients could obtain greater health improvements in terms of their quality of life if a therapeutical exercise and education program based on tele-rehabilitation is implemented together with a natural nutritional supplement that generates a systemic anti-inflammatory effect through SPMs (omega- 3).
This is a prospective study that is the first to implement resect and discard and diagnose and leave strategies in real-time practice using stringent documentation and adjudication by 2 expert endoscopists as the gold standard. Therefore, this study mainly aims to evaluate the agreement between (CADx) assisted optical diagnosis and adjudication by two expert endoscopists in establishing surveillance intervals concordant with the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and US Multisociety task force (USMSTF) guidelines.
This trial aims to evaluate the ADAPT Program in terms of efficacy, process and cost-efficacy compared to usual occupational therapy (UOT) in people with decreased ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) following chronic conditions. As both the ADAPT Program and UOT are targeted improvements in ADL ability, the primary objective of this trial is to assess equivalence between the ADAPT Program and UOT on changes in ADL ability as measured with the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).
This study will look at the effects of amantadine on cognitive function in persons with Long COVID. It will also collect specimens to study possible causes of cognitive symptoms in Long COVID, and whether any lab tests can predict who will respond better to amantadine.
This study seeks to answer the fundamental questions of which initial, first-line weight loss intervention should be offered to older adults with obesity and multiple chronic conditions and how to address the high non-response rates observed with most conventional strategies. A sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART) design will permit the evaluation of treatment combinations that maximize weight loss and will provide data on constructing a future tailored, adaptive intervention. If successful, these findings will identify interventions that could markedly improve health and quality of life of these older adults, reduce long-term disability, and lower healthcare costs
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a lifelong and progressive disease and is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease worldwide. This study will examine whether there are significant differences in motor (e.g., balance and gait) and non-motor (e.g., cognition, mood, smell & sleep ) symptoms and quality of life between the Real (active) at-home photobiomodulation (light therapy) combined with exercise group and the Placebo (sham) at-home photobiomodulation (light therapy) combined with exercise group. Each group (Real & Placebo) will include 30 participants; with moderate PD, ages 55-80. Three outcome measurement sessions will be conducted; at the study entry and the end of Weeks 1 & 4 after the last light therapy treatment. Exercise must have been part of the participant's routine before entering the study and will continue during and after the light therapy treatments have been completed.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of the post-COVID-19 condition in confirmed mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 adult patients in Hai Phong, Vietnam.
Periodontal diseases and dental pathologies are highly prevalent oral diseases. Thirty-three to fifty percent of adult population presented at least one untreated caries and more than 50% of French population are affected by severe periodontitis. These diseases affect dental organ or periodontal attached system but could have negative impact on general health, quality of life, word and individual well-being. Association between chronic diseases as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and oral health have been well investigated. Dental and periodontal diagnosis is dependent of various clinical parameters time consuming and dependent operator. It represents a public health challenge. Informatic analysis detecting diseases could be a time gain and a more precise diagnosis tool. Today, any software or algorithm allow automatized detection, clinical qualitative or quantitative indices recording while these informations are present in numeric models
To perform a traditional feasibility clinical investigation, as defined in ISO 14155:2020, to investigate preliminary feasibility, safety, and clinical performance information of a near-final design of the investigational software. This will be performed through a prospective clinical study on biopsy naïve men with suspected prostate cancer examined with MRI at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway, in order to adequately plan an appropriate pivotal clinical investigation.
