Filter by:the investigators study different modality to obtain nerve evoked reponses. They use different parameters of acquisition and stimulation and they compare amplitude and latency of nerve conduction response
This study is an individual-level randomised controlled trial which looks at the effect of providing free access to higher quality providers in urban South Africa. The study will recruit about 1,500 individuals with a child aged 5 or under. They will be randomly allocate to a control group (CONTROL) with the default free access to government facilities or one of the two treatment groups where they will have free access to private providers located either relatively close (CONVENIENT) by or relatively far (INCONVENIENT). The primary outcomes be overuse and underuse of healthcare services for children under 5
Partial restriction of blood flow to working muscles during exercise is proven to increase muscle mass and strength even with low-intensity of exercise. Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is also beneficial to improve the maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max), bone health, and vascular health. Recent studies focus on its effects beyond the musculoskeletal system. Post-exercise hypotension is a known acute physiological response that happens after intense exercise. Early studies demonstrated BFRT might amplify the acute hypotensive effects with low intensity of exercise. However, it's not clear what type of exercise would help to lower blood pressure when it is combined with BFRT.
The evaluation of human gait is a crucial component of the clinical assessment and decision-making process. The gold standard in gait analysis is computerized gait analysis, which allows for three-dimensional digital data acquisition through computers (3D Computerized Gait Analysis). However, this technology is not readily accessible in routine analyses, as it proves to be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor in terms of infrastructure and human resources. The utilization of smartphones in clinical applications is on the rise, facilitated by the increasing accessibility of low-cost or free "applications," thereby addressing the limitations associated with traditional gait analysis methods. The Gait-Analyzer application is among the mentioned applications. However, in the literature, no evidence has been found regarding the validity and reliability of Gait-Analyzer application compared to the gold standard 3D computerized gait analysis systems within the context of gait analyses. The aim of this study is to comparatively examine the effectiveness of the Gait-Analyzer smartphone application with established 3D Computerized Gait Analysis systems, which have proven validity and reliability in gait analyses. Through this research, the study intends to elucidate the validity and reliability of spatiotemporal parameters of walking within the Gait-Analyzer smartphone application.
Technologically advanced tool solutions (i.e., the highest level of automation) may not always be the preferred choice for participants when given an option. Various experiments show that in vehicles, low to moderate levels of automation are often preferred over highly automated vehicles. The association of higher task demands with smarter tools has been reported to influence tool selection along with task demand. However, participants may avoid using a fully automatic tool even if the task is highly laborious. In fact, in a series of experiments, participants more distinctly preferred manually completing routine tasks over more efficient fully automatic task completion. Based on these collective theories, the Smart Tools Proneness Questionnaire (STP-Q), developed by Navarro J. and colleagues, aims to explore and measure interindividual differences influencing an individual's propensity to use smart tools, their initial selection of smart tools, and subsequent usage. In practice, measuring the propensity of any individual to use smart tools will be significantly beneficial for both professionals and non-professionals involved in designing, producing, and implementing such tools. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to translate, validate, and establish the reliability of the Turkish version of the STP-Q.
A phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single-dose administration of BMI2004 Inj. (hyaluronidase, recombinant) in healthy adults
This study will test how well a mindfulness-based intervention called CHIME improves the emotional well-being of educators in Early Head Start and Head Start (EHS/HS) settings. The study also will examine if there are any benefits to young children's social emotional health as a result of the CHIME program. Researchers will compare educators who participate in CHIME to educators who are asked to participate at a later time to see if there are benefits to their emotional health and teaching practices.
Black children and adults in the United States fare worse across nearly every health indicator compared to White individuals. In Philadelphia, the location of this study, these health disparities result in a stark longevity gap, with average life expectancies in poor, predominantly Black neighborhoods being 20 years lower than in nearby affluent, predominantly White neighborhoods. The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a suite of place- based and financial-wellbeing interventions at the community, organization, and individual/household levels that address the social determinants of racial health disparities. At the community level, the investigators address underinvestment in Black neighborhoods by implementing vacant lot greening, abandoned house remediation, tree planting, and trash cleanup. At the organization level, the investigators partner with community-based financial empowerment providers to develop cross-organizational infrastructure to increase reach and maximize efficiency. At the individual/household levels, the investigators increase access to public benefits, financial counseling and tax preparation services, and emergency cash assistance. The investigators will test this "big push" intervention in 60 Black neighborhood micro-clusters, with a total of 480 children. The investigators hypothesize that this "big push" intervention will have significant impact on children's health and wellbeing.
The goal of this observational study is to provide exploratory research into the in vivo physiological and psychological effects, if any, of cannabigerol (CBG) in healthy human adults age 21 or over. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What effect, if any, does daily oral consumption of 50mg of full spectrum CBG have on the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of healthy individuals, as measured by self-report Medical Symptom Questionnaire and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey scores? - Is CBG effective at reducing inflammation in the body, as measured by HSCRP, ESR, and PSA inflammatory markers? - Do age, gender, weight, or state of body inflammation have an effect on the perceived efficacy of CBG? - What adverse effects, if any, are associated with CBG use? Over the course of the 12-week study, participants will: - Take baseline MSQ and SF-36 surveys, as well as a clinical visit with blood draws for HSCRP, ESR, and PSA testing - Consume one (1) 50mg capsule of full spectrum CBG daily by mouth with food for 8 weeks, followed by a 4-week washout period - Complete biweekly SF-36 surveys as well as MSQ surveys every 4 weeks - Attend a clinical visit every 4 weeks for clinical observation and blood draws for HSCRP, ESR, and PSA (male subjects)
This study intends to collect blood samples of adult healthy subjects, elderly healthy subjects and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation after taking dabigatran etexilate for pharmacokinetics and other studies, aiming to reveal the effect of dabigatran etexilate in Chinese elderly population. Pharmacokinetic profile and biomarker concentration levels; fecal samples were collected for gut microbiota studies to further explore potential mechanisms. The results of the study may provide reference for the precision medicine of dabigatran etexilate and other drugs in the elderly population or the development of new clinical drugs.
