Filter by:The adjusted Cancer Thriving and Surviving Program (CTS) for women with breast cancer living in Switzerland (CTS-BC-CH) is a course of 7 weekly sessions of 2.5 - 3 hours led by trained peer-leaders (women with breast cancer experience). This pilot study aims to explore the reach of the CTS-BC-CH program (integrated into the clinical pathway) and to investigate its preliminary effectiveness with regard to Swiss breast cancer patients' self-efficacy and self-management.
A randomized intervention study to promote work recovery and work ability among micro-entrepreneurs. The main aim is to investigate if the use of Recovery! -application results in better work recovery and work ability than no treatment for micro-entrepreneurs. The plan of action of the study merges: 1) the contents that are based on the needs of the target population and evidence from research on work related and health behaviour enhancing work recovery, 2) theoretical framework for the counselling, 3) counselling methods including behaviour change techniques, and 4) tailoring the content and counselling according to trans theoretical change model and physical work demands. The intervention is delivered through native mobile application designed by using the abovementioned methodology. Data are collected by repeated internet-based questionnaires (at baseline, 2 and 6 months from the beginning of the intervention) and from the use of mobile application. Furthermore, randomly selected persons in two groups (20-30 persons in each) are interviewed. Process evaluation is conducted to detect the mechanisms of change and to study why the program succeeded or failed.
Currently, administration of norepinephrine diluted at 5 µg/ml bolus or continuous infusion is common during sympatholysis hypotension of TCI following the elimination of hypovolemia or anesthetic overdosage. Continued intravenous administration must meet hemodynamic goals within a narrow time frame. Depending on the intensity of hypotension the dosage is variable. It is adjusted in real time while it is excessive or insufficient at times. Therefore, the development of modeling should predict the kinetic and hemodynamic effects based on dosage and individual.
Among the well-known factors that contribute to the development of obesity, childbearing has been reported as an important influential factor. Physical activity is strongly recommended as one of the main tools to reduce any excessive weight gain during pregnancy and also to reduce weight retention in the postpartum period. During the postpartum period, exercise training coupled with a well-balanced nutritional plan, offers an effective intervention to help mothers lose weight safely. International guidelines for physical activity after pregnancy include strengthening routines. Worth noting, most of the above cited studies focused on the benefits of aerobic activities. Strength training interventions are virtually unexplored in postpartum women despite its potential benefits. Compared to the pregnancy period, postpartum barriers to physical activity seem to focus less on health-related barriers. In postpartum, time limitations for childcare become a more common barrier. For this reason, a postpartum exercise program that incorporates the babies in a specific exercise session has a better chance to succeed. The aim of this project is to determine the benefits of strength training in a group class setting in postpartum healthy women with their babies. Whereas mother's participation in regular physical activity may encourage regular physical activity habits in her offspring, a second aim of this project is to also quantify the infant's physical activity. The main measured outcomes are: maternal muscular strength; body composition; aerobic capacity; exercise self efficacy; depressive symptoms; physical activity level and food habits and baby's physical activity level.
The purpose of this pilot randomized trial is to determine (1) the effectiveness of the Polar M400, used in combination with a twice-weekly Facebook-delivered Social Cognitive Theory-based health intervention, in the promotion of more healthful physical activity and nutritious eating behaviors over 12 weeks in college students versus a comparison group; and (2) the validity and reliability of the Polar M400 in the assessment of free-living (i.e., non-laboratory based) physical activity (in this case, steps per day and daily durations of moderate and vigorous physical activity) and energy expenditure.
A double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in current human study. This study aims to investigate the intervention effect of AOB-w on the short-term exposure and toxicokinetics of acrylamide, a dietary hazardous substance generated during heat processing, in Chinese adolescents.
Nowadays, endoscopic techniques have been applied for diagnosing and treating a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)technique for removing early gastrointestinal mucosal cancers. Endoscopic procedure associated gastrointestinal perforation is one of the the most severe complications, which is associated with high morality and needs timely detection and effective treatment in clinical practice.Over 90% procedure associated gastrointestinal perforation occurs immediately within 24 h after endoscopic procedure.Endoclips have been widely used in closing the immediate gastrointestinal perforations, but the location of the endoclips could influence the effective rate, limiting its application. In addition, multiple endoclips should be placed under endoscopy for a relatively large perforation, which could increase the medical cost and the procedure time. At recent, a new purse string suture device (LeoMed, China) has been developed by us and introduced to the clinicalmanagement of such patients with procedure associated gastrointestinal perforations. Clinical data validated that the usage of this new purse string suture in treating immediate procedure associated perforations was greatly convenient and effective with very low reoperation rate and postoperative complication rate. A specially designed loop was equipped in this device, which could be tightened under endoscopy. Thus, compared with the placement of endoclips, this device could be more convenient and effective in completely closing the gastrointestinal perforations.This study will test whether purse string suture device will increase the effectiveness of closingimmediate procedure associated gastrointestinal perforationsunder endoscopyin a randomized controlled trialby comparing the use of purse string suture deviceand endoclips.
This study will assess the efficacy of a neuromodulation device for the treatment of episodic migraine headache.
Several approaches have been proposed to reduce the risk of RAO, including anticoagulation, immediate postprocedural sheath removal, and a small sheath/radial artery ratio. Doppler ultrasound examination showed that interrupted blood flow in RA tend to occur in the proximal end rather than distal part of the artery,which was ignored by a majority of interventional cardiologists. Different insights into occlusion location may lead to different options of sheath materials, models, catheters and puncture access. Thus, the investigators designed this present study to explore the reason of radial artery endothelial dysfuction and damage and occlusion location by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) to determine the suitable method to reduce occlusion risk during TRI.
The transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty is now widely used in catheterization laboratories worldwide, which had been shown as advantages over the conventional femoral and brachial approaches due to the lower incidence of bleeding and other cardiovascular complications. However, the transradial approach does not seem suitable for 5-15% of patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty. The ulnar artery which is one of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery is usually larger than radial artery and it may be as a potential approach for cardiac catheterization. Recently, some reports have demonstrated that the transulnar approach may be both feasible and safe for coronary angiography and angioplasty in selective patients.we performed this study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transulnar approach coronary catheterization in real world non-selective patients.
