Filter by:Individualization of exercise is recommended but rarely performed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Unusually High Intensity and Individual Sensor Motor with Visuomotor Mobility Trainer The clinical symptoms, mobility and posture of PD patients. After 3 weeks of intensive treatment, treated patients and the control group were subjected to a two-year observation. Objectives: The effect of the unusually highly intense and strictly individualized sensomotor and visuomotor agility program was determined for the clinical symptoms, mobility and stability of non-demented PD patients with a two-year follow-up. Detection and comparison of results of patients undergoing biphasic maintenance with the results of intensively treated patients and the control group. Patients were recalled every 3 months after the first intensive examination and one year after a one-year control. The results of the active group were continuously compared with the results of the passive and control groups, thus determining the effectiveness of our treatment and the deterioration of the other groups in life-quality. The treated groups will be divided into two. One Parkinson's group takes part in a treadmill treatment that takes place 3 times a week for 6 years. The other group does not undergo a special series of exercises after 3 weeks of intensive therapy. Main outcome measures: Movement disorder Society Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, Motor Experiences of Daily Living, a measure sensitive to changes in a broad spectrum of PD symptoms. In group time, repeated measurements of variance analysis were compared to MDS-UPDRS M-EDL, Beck Depression Score, PDQ-39, EQ5D VAS, Schwab & England Scale for Parkinson's Disease. The TUG test and 12 static posturographic measurements are compared and compared to the healthy group as a standard. An at-limit and individualized sensorimotor and visuomotor agility exercise program vs. standard care, will improve non-demeted, stage 2-3 PD patient's clinical symptoms, mobility, and postural stability by functionally meaningful margins. As a long-term solution, a follow-up treatment can slow down the progression of clinical symtoms.
Patients affected by new coronavirus infectious disease (COVID) were mostly hospitalized in ICU. This infection seems to cause widespread organ injury (i.e acute renal injury, neurological disorders, pulmonary embolism,…). It is therefore necessary to provide a framework for the follow up of patients. Moreover SARS-CoV-2 infection consequences remain unknow at this time. Study hypothesis is that COVID alters determining factors (physical or psychological) of quality of life after ICU hospitalisation. The aim of the study is to assess quality of life 3 months after ICU hospitalization. Secondary purposes of the study are 1) assessment of quality of life 6 months and the evolution between the third and the sixth months after ICU hospitalization 2) description patients care after 3 and 6 months ICU left and their clinical status 3) convening and providing a "platform" within several physicians (neurologist, biologist, pneumologist…) will be able to follow up patients and perform complementary investigations according to patients injuries.
This is a multi-centre population-based follow-up study for all 504 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. This study establishes a standardized and structured clinical database to provide complete and multidimensional clinical diagnosis and treatment data of novel coronavirus pneumonia, which also support future epidemiological, infectious disease study and patients' prognosis, by collecting clinical data and the related data of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Southern Zhejiang province.
This study will evaluate the impact of Short Message Service (SMS) on compliance with surveillance of patients with germ-cell tumors. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to get 2 groups : (1) patients will receive reminder SMS before appointment detailing the date of consultation and exams to be performed before; (2) standard of care without SMS.
Psycho-traumatic disorders are a disabling condition whose epidemiological data vary according to the country but also the populations studied and the measuring instruments used. The estimated prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appeared to be increasing in recent years, and this appears to be due, among other things, to the improvement of the standardized evaluation procedure. The survey "Mental Health in General Population", conducted in metropolitan France between 1999 and 2003 on more than 36,000 people estimated its instantaneous prevalence (last month) of a full PTSD was 0.7% in the SMPG overall sample, with almost equal frequency between men (45%) and women (55%). This figure is close to that reported in a European population for the ESEMeD study. A very significant psychiatric comorbidity was found in subjects with PTSD, particularly with mood disorders, other anxiety disorders and addictive behaviors. The link with the suicidal risk was clearly established, which is the gravity of this pathology. The most important publications are made by American teams who have identified and evaluated the treatment of this pathology among veterans of the various wars led by the country.

Adult soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare tumours with an estimated incidence averaging 5/100 000/year in Europe. The prognosis of soft tissue sarcomas is dominated by local recurrence and distant metastasis. A link seems to exist between local recurrence and overall survival. Local recurrence occurs in approximately 16-29% of STS of the limbs. A combination of resection and radiotherapy is the optimal treatment of primary tumours according to histological grade and surgical result. Modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) are normally used to rule-out a recurrence in patients operated on for STS. However, none of this technique is perfect and different advantages and drawbacks have to be considered in choosing one or another technique. In the past, US was used in tumour follow-up to detect tumour recurrences, however these studies didn't use high-resolution transducers and the timing of imaging respect to surgery was not defined. The recent advances in transducer technology improved the diagnostic capabilities of US. For the evaluation of limbs soft-tissue masses, US is widely used as a first level modality. The reasons are that US is widely available, fast, easily repeatable and often more accessible than CT and MR Imaging. In addition, US equipped with high-frequency transducers have a spatial resolution that may be comparable or higher than that of MR Imaging and CT in the evaluation of superficial soft-tissues. US and MR Imaging are often not able to differentiate benign from malignant tumours, therefore several lesions detected with US or MR Imaging warrant biopsy. The clinical practice guidelines of the ESMO (European Society of Medical Oncology) published in 2010 found that there are no published data to indicate the optimal routine follow-up policy of surgically treated patients with localized disease. Moreover, it has not been demonstrated that, for limb sarcomas recurrences, MR Imaging is superior and cost-effective compared to US for the assessment of the primary site. Considering that surgically treated intermediate-/high-grade patient may be followed frequently, even every 3-4 months in the first 2-3 years and considering that performing US is easier than having MR Imaging, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of US in the detection of local recurrences of adults patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the limb.
Women treated for gynaecological cancer perceive many difficulties in life on the personal, social, and physical levels. Today they are offered a 3 to 5 year follow-up programme at the hospital where the main purpose is to improve survival. However, the women are very nervous before follow-up visits and although they feel safe about them, they express that their needs of psychosocial care and self-management support are not fulfilled. The proposed study will test a person-centred intervention tailored the women's needs in a randomised controlled trial. The intervention will be based on the method Guided Self Determination (GSD), which has proved able to realize empowerment in practice in relationships between patients and healthcare professionals. GSD involves systematic use of condition-adjusted worksheets ('reflection sheets'), and advanced professional communication. Using reflection sheets filled out by each woman as the starting point for communication, problem solving will be tailored her personal needs. We expect that the intervention has the potential to support the women in better managing specific complications and difficulties related to concerns about recovery, body perception, fertility and establishment of intimate relations with their partner, all aspects important for the women's quality of life in the follow-up period after cancer diagnosis and treatment. The study will be the first to test GSD in cancer patients.
Long term follow-up of the patients with delayed TSH elevation or subclinical hypothyroidism has been seldom reported. The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic criteria for subclinical hypothyroidism and the initial dosage of L-thyroxine through long-term follow up for infants with subclinical hypothyroidism ，and evaluate the curative effect.
