Filter by:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. MS, typical presents with progression of clinical symptoms which mainly include motor and cognitive impairment, as well as reduction of patients' quality of life. Exercise is an effective approach in the management of the symptoms in people with progressive MS. Previous studies in healthy and in people with MS, reported a close relationship between cognitive functions and upper limb performance. Since patients with progressive MS facing difficulties with performing complex exercises due to cognitive dysfunctions and given the close relationship between cognitive functions and manual dexterity, a reasonable question arises whether a type of upper limbs exercises with less cognitive demands will improve the information processing speed in people with progressive MS. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of in-phase bilateral upper limbs exercises on the information processing speed, in patients with progressive MS, given that in-phase bilateral movements needs less attentional load than the other types of bilateral coordination. The intervention protocol lasted for 12 consecutive weeks (30-60 minutes /session x 3 sessions/week) and included in-phase bilateral exercises of the upper limbs, adapted to different sports activities and to functional training. Results from the statistical analysis indicated improvement of the experimental group compared to the control group, on the information processing speed alongside with improvement of motor skills.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn and assess the effect of 10 repetitions of deep breathing exercises every 3 hours compared to 3 repetitions of deep breathing exercises on the sleep quality of patients after heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does 10 repetitions of deep breathing exercises every 3 hours affect the sleep quality of patients after heart surgery? Researchers will compare 10 repetitions of deep breathing exercises every 3 hours to 3 repetitions of deep breathing exercises to see if 10 repetitions of deep breathing exercises every 3 hours work to improve sleep quality. Participants will: 1. Respondents in the intervention group performed 10 repetitions of deep breathing exercises every 3 hours for 3 days. 2. Respondents in the control group performed 3 repetitions of deep breathing exercises for 3 days.
A retrospective study was conducted on 343 patients. CT PNS and head of the patients were evaluated for variants of nasal septum and nasal cavity.
This study aims to determine the cut-off values of the new oxygenation indices and further investigate their capabilities in diagnosing ARDS and predicting its severity in ICU. Additionally, the investigators aim to compare these results with conventional oxygenation and saturation indices.
Analyze the impact of the degree of blood vessel aging on the anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk of warfarin. Evaluating the possibility of using the degree of blood vessel aging to guide individualized use of the anticoagulant drug warfarin.
This study investigates the effect of Colchicine in preventing heart structure changes following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Through a clinical trial involving patients requiring coronary intervention, we explore how Colchicine can reduce inflammation and fibrosis, two crucial factors influencing heart failure post-heart attack. The outcomes are expected to offer new insights into post-heart attack treatments to prevent heart failure.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about further wheezing in infants with RSV infection.. The main question it aims to answer is: If infant factors, the infant immune response in the nose and the bacteria that reside in the nose at the time of primary RSV infection can predict/classify infants with recurrent wheezing during the following year. A secondary aim is to identify infant immune response factors in the nose and patterns of bacteria in the nose during primary RSV infection that may help us understand why recurrent wheezing occurs. Researchers will compare infants with repeated episodes of wheezing to infants who do not have further wheezing. Participants will be full term infants with their first RSV infection. We will collect information on the pregnancy and birth history as well as the signs and symptoms of RSV infection. Two nasal swabs and a nasal wash will be collected from the infants. Six weeks following the RSV infection we will begin contact with the families biweekly to determine if the infant has recurrent wheezing confirmed by a medical provider. Follow-up will continue for approximately 1 year, through a second winter season.
"How long will my labor last" is a very common question for midwives who care for women during birth. To evaluate safe labor duration largely determines management and care during birth. Today a standardized tool is used by midwives to evaluate normal and safe labor called the partograph. The World Health Organization partograph is a decision-making support tool designed to assist midwives in identifying normal labor duration and women at risk of developing complications. The tool guide the use of care interventions intended to mitigate any perceived risks. The partograph has been in use since the 1950ies and has had a profound impact on care and management during labor. Normal labor progression according to the partograph is a linear progression with cervical dilation of 1 centimeter per hour (alert line) and any deviation from this should lead to an intervention.The purpose of this research project is to increase person-centred care during labor. Specifically, we want to provide updated comprehensive information on labor duration and patient safety for reduction of; unnecessary medical interventions during normal labor; morbidity and mortality in the new-born; maternal complications during delivery and the puerperal period.
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of stenting for revascularization treatment of chronic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in patients with chronic MCA occlusion. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether stenting treatment can improve blood flow restoration in chronic MCA occlusion. 2. If stenting can reduce the rates of reocclusion. 3. How stenting affects the recovery of neurological functions in these patients. Researchers will compare the stenting group, which received stenting revascularization in addition to aspirin treatment, to the control group, which received only aspirin treatment to see if stenting treatment provides superior outcomes in terms of neurological function improvement and safety profile. Participants will: 1. Undergo full cerebral angiography to identify the occlusion site. 2. All participants will be monitored for post-procedure complications and neurological function using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) before and after treatment. 3. Participants will be followed up for three months post-treatment to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of the stenting procedure.
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 0 substudy designed to evaluate the ability of pembrolizumab, alone and in combination with MK-0482 or MK-4830, to elicit pharmacodynamic changes suggestive of antitumor immune activation within the native tumor microenvironment (TME) following intratumoral microdosing via the CIVO device in patients with surface accessible Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) or Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) lesion(s) who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment.
