Filter by:A prospective study to evaluate symptoms following repetitive transcranial Magnetic stimulation.
This observational study aims to evaluate multiple dimensions of health in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), before and after three weeks of ventilotherapy. Specifically, the study aims to identify pre- vs post-treatment differences in the following domains: - cognitive performance - blood expression of biomarkers related to neurodegeneration - psychosocial wellbeing Thus, patients will complete the following evaluations before (T0) and after (T1) ventilotherapy: - neuropsychological standard assessment - blood sampling - psychosocial self-reported questionnaires
Future predictive modeling in emergency medicine will likely combine the use of a wide range of data points such as continuous documentation, monitoring using wearables, imaging, biomarkers, and real-time administrative data from all health care providers involved. Subsequent extensive data sets could feed advanced deep learning and neural network algorithms to accurately predict the risk of specific health conditions. Moreover, predictive analytics steers towards the development of clinical pathways that are adaptive and continuously updated, and in which healthcare decision-making is supported by sophisticated algorithms to provide the best course of action effectively and safely. The potential for predictive analytics to revolutionize many aspects of healthcare seems clear in the horizon. Information on the use in emergency medicine is scarce. Aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of using routine-data to predict resource usage in emergency medicine using the commonly encountered symptom of acute neurologic deficit. As an outlook, this might serve as a prototype for other, similar projects using routine medical data for predictive analytics in emergency medicine.
Background: Immune system and nervous system have significant interaction so that People with immunity diseases can have complications that affect the nervous system and people with some neurological disease may have defects in their immune system.These complications can affect many body functions, including how they move, walk, think, and feel. Researchers do not fully understand how immune diseases affect the nervous system. By learning more, they hope to create more effective treatments. Objective: To learn more about the interaction between immune and nervous system and how immunity disease affect the nervous system. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older with an immunity disease. Their healthy biological relatives and other healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened. Blood will be drawn for research. They may have imaging scans. Adults may undergo lumbar puncture: A needle will be inserted into their back to collect fluid from the space around the spinal cord. The imaging scans and lumbar puncture will be optional for healthy relatives and volunteers. All participants will have 1 study visit per year for 5 years. They will be asked to donate samples of body fluids at each visit. Blood samples are required for the study. All other donations are optional. These may include saliva, urine, breast milk, stool, vaginal secretions, and wound drainage. Affected participants may be asked for a skin biopsy: A small sample of skin will be removed. They may also be photographed or videotaped to record the symptoms of their disease. Tests for each study visit may be spread over several days, if needed. Visits may be at the clinic. Participants may also collect their own samples at home and send them to the researchers....
Fasciculations are clinically defined as spontaneous intermittent contractions of a portion of muscles. Depending on associated symptoms they may be a sign of lower motor neuron disorder. The aim of this study is to investigate if fasciculations also occur in muscles after caffeine consumption and if there is a difference between the muscles of the arms and legs. The primary endpoint is detecting fasciculations in the muscles of the arms and legs after the consumption of caffeine in healthy adults (20-35 years old and 35-50 years old) Secondary endpoints of the study compares the proportions of fasciculations between two age groups (20-35 years old and 35-50 years. A population of 26 subject per group and a total of 52 subject will be recruited for the study. A sample size of 26 in each group will have 90% power to detect a difference between the two groups using a Fisher's exact test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level. Study Intervention Study participants will consume caffeine (6mg per kilogram bodyweight) before the second ultrasound screening. Using ultrasound the sternocleidomastoideus, biceps brachii, interosseus dorsalis, quadriceps femoris, gastrocnemius and abductor hallucis will be measure for 120 seconds 1o minutes before and 45 minutes after caffeine consumption. Study Duration and Schedule Estimated duration for the study will be around 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of 3-days reduced physical activity (<1500 steps/day) with/without 'exercise snacks' (15 chair stands with calf raises every 30 min) on skeletal muscle metabolic health.
Test of early warning signs and RT-QuIC in patients with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction
This is a placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess whether Guanfacine Extended Release (GXR) reduces aggression and self injurious behavior in individuals with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). In addition, the study will establish the safety of GXR with a specific focus on metabolic effects.
In previous studies, we know methylene blue (MB) stains nerves, and oxidized MB has near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence for fluorescent observation. In this trial we using MB on human skin and combining MB and third-harmonic generation imaging (THG) to label cutaneous nerve fibers.
The NUMITOR study is an analytical observational study with an multicenter ambisective (retrospective and prospective) cohort design.
