Filter by:Purpose: to assess in Kazakh adult males erect penis sizes, and study an influence of their natural physiological events and behavioral habits during their growing ages on their penile sizes nowadays. Study Design: An observational cross-sectional survey pilot study using a correlational design with the intention-to-treat principle.
At Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, a comprehensive approach to help children stay still during radiation treatment (RT) such as audio-visual distraction (television) is routinely used. These techniques help reduce the need for sedation or general anaesthesia to keep children still to avoid the chance of missing the tumour during RT. This approach has not been systematically evaluated to determine its effectiveness at reducing movement of children receiving RT. The purpose of the study is to measure the movement of children between the beginning and the end of RT to see how much they moved during treatment.
This is an epidemiological multicenter, observational, prospective study, designed to determine the incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade - defined by a TOF (train-of-four) ratio < 0.9 - at PACU arrival. Subjects aged at least 18 years old (n=360) admitted for different types of elective surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia with neuromuscular blocking agents will be included.
The aim of this mixed-methods-study is to develop and validate an algorithm to transform FIM (Functional Independence Measure) and EBI (Extended Barthel Index) into an ADL score (Activities of Daily Life) that can be used to compare outcome quality of rehabilitation clinics. The following steps are performed: 1. Development of an ADL-algorithms by experts 2. Validation of the ADL-algorithms in a quantitative approach 3. Finalization of the ADL-algorithms by experts based on study results
Dydrogesterone has been widely used worldwide for various gynecological and obstetric indications: - Dydrogesterone is effective in cycle regulation treatment. - Dydrogesterone is recognized as none interference to hypothalamus pituitary ovary (HPO) axis in the recommended dosage. - Dydrogesterone might have non-negative effect on glucose and lipid metabolic.
Heart failure is the most common heart disease with increasing incidence due to the aging of the population is improving the initial prognosis of various conditions that lead to more or less progressive heart failure. Heart failure is of great variety of clinical and pathophysiological forms necessitating the creation of quality records to clarify each of these forms. Many types of cardiomyopathies exist, some of which are infrequent but with specific care. At the French level, few data exist. In addition, the therapeutic management changes regularly. New European recommendations (endorsed by the French Society of Cardiology = FSC) were published in May 2012. Many therapeutic approaches are being evaluated. The course of care and how to take non-drug load (network monitoring, rehabilitation ...) have become important issues that have hardly been analyzed by existing records. This also leads to better define the different forms of this disease, their natural history and methods of management applied in real life. The register of FSC follows the registry of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)"Heart Failure (HF) Long Term" (CCTIRS No. 11.355bis) with inclusions will be completed in November 2012. This new study aims to generate more accurate data on a number of points and be more representative for a wider selection of patients, the French level.
