Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to gain importance of sleep routine and environment in mothers have children with neurodevelopmental disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the importance of sleep routine and environment in children with neurodevelopmental disorders? - What kind of an effect does the awareness that mothers gain through sleep trainings have? Participants will: - Evaluations will be applied to all participants - Divided into intervention and control groups - The intervention group will be given "Sleep Training" and followed up for about 1 month. - The results between the two groups will be compared Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if turning a healthy sleep routine into a life habit
The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effect of daily consumption of chia seeds, if any, on HDL cholesterol levels and compare this to the effects of oats on HDL levels in adult populations.
There is a need to change eating patterns towards healthier diets with new sources of non-animal protein, obtained through more sustainable systems in line with strategies such as the European Green Deal, the "Farm to Fork" strategy, or the Common Agricultural Policy, among others. The objective of this study, is to evaluate the nutritional effect of the developed products and their impact on the improvement and/or prevention of health problems (diabetes, intestinal dysbiosis), as well as to design and evaluation of the effect on health of a vegetable protein-based nutraceutical that also includes fiber and resistant starch.
The purpose of the study is to optimize the delivery of mHealth tools to support the formation of persistent mindfulness meditation routines. Aim 1: Identify the efficacy of the anchoring strategy on the persistence of daily meditation practice. H1: Persistence (measured through repeated observations of panel regression models of the daily likelihood of mindfulness mediation over the 16-week follow-up period) will be greater among AG as compared to CG. Aim 2: Determine participant phenotypes that are (a) associated with successfully anchoring daily meditation or (b) likely to need additional supports. Potential moderators of the anchoring strategy's success include participants' daily schedule, type of work, household composition, motivation, time and risk preferences, and prior exposure to mindfulness, which will be analyzed in the panel regression model framework above. Aim 3: Determine the optimal type, timing, and sequence of push notifications for encouraging daily mindfulness meditation within and across study groups. The efficacy of each push notification type (tracking sessions completed, reminders, mood symptom tracking, and group-specific goal reminders), timing, and dynamics on the anchoring of daily meditation will inform a subsequent, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI). Impact: This study will inform an optimal JITAI R01 proposal that will personalize the type and temporal dynamics of app-based daily supports for successfully routinizing daily meditation, and determine its effects on mental health, specifically PTSD. Lifetime prevalence of PTSD is 7% in adults and meditation is known to reduce PTSD. If effective
The current proposal aims to investigate implicit and explicit priming paradigms for changing cue-dependent and goal-directed nutritional behavior.
Chronic exposure to (cigarette smoke) CS causes biological changes, including airway remodeling and changes in baseline gene expression profiles at the level of the epithelium. Our own data indicate that chronic exposure to CS suppresses the ability of epithelial cells to enhance antiviral gene expression in response to influenza infection and activate host defense responses. While there is a large body of evidence supporting the notion that exposure to CS causes significant changes in host defense responses, which may be linked to permanent changes in epithelial cells at the genomic level, it is not known whether new and emerging tobacco products have similar or distinct effects. Using live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) inoculation in human volunteers, this study will compare influenza-induced responses in non-smokers (NS), cigarette smokers (CS), e-cigarette smokers (EC), hookah smokers (HS), and Little Cigar smokers (LCS) in vivo. This will be done by analyzing nasal viral titers, antiviral defense responses, inflammatory mediator production, and markers of immune responses for LAIV-induced responses between the different groups of volunteers.
The aim of the ETPOS study is to describe differences in transfusion habits throughout Europe and to correlate these habits to perioperative outcome parameters. Special focus is put on the number of PRBCs (packed red blood cells) transfused and the ratio of PRBCs to other blood products or coagulation factors in the operating room. Furthermore the motivation of physicians to transfuse PRBC and blood products in the operating room will be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of varenicline and nicotine patch combined with motivational interview technique in smoking cessation of young adults over 12 months follow-up.
