Filter by:Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is now considered the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, there is still a possibility of developing local recurrence or metachronous neoplasia after ESD. Regular endoscopic surveillance after ESD can identify and remove local recurrences and metachronous lesions early, improving patient prognosis. However, the patient compliance with post-ESD endoscopic surveillance is currently unclear, and many patients fail to adhere to the scheduled follow-up. A prospective, randomized controlled, superiority trial was designed to evaluate whether completing a questionnaire and receiving feedback on compliance-related education can improve patient compliance with post-ESD endoscopic surveillance, in comparison to those who did not complete the compliance-related education questionnaire. Additionally, the investigators intend to investigate the factors that influence patient compliance. This study will consist of two parts. Part 1 will assess whether the completion of questionnaire and feedback on compliance-related education can improve short-term patient compliance with post-ESD endoscopic surveillance, and investigate factors influencing short-term patient compliance. Part 2 will assess whether the completion of questionnaire and feedback on compliance-related education can improve long-term patient compliance with post-ESD endoscopic surveillance, and investigate factors influencing patient compliance.
Chronic pain is associated with psychological disorders; which may affect a patient's socioeconomic, legal, domestic, and employment situations. This prospective observational study evaluates the impact of pain management on patients' health, social, economic, and employment status. It explores the impact of pain clinic services on patients' mental health, family health, public health, road safety, addiction situation, public safety, injury rehabilitation and employment situation.
This is a non-significant risk, single site, prospective clinical study. The study will be conducted in the department of pediatric dentistry of the faculty of dental medicine of the Hebrew university, Israel
The project is intended to find out the effect of Periodontal treatment for the glycemic control of type II diabetes mellitus patients.
To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescription as early as possible, better in childhood. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of genetic testing and motivational counseling on the effectiveness of treatment and cascade screening in patients with FH.
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. The prevalence rate is approaching towards a peak throughout the world including Bangladesh. The current intervention used in peripheral neuropathy does not bring satisfactory result. Recent trial shows that L-carnitine is effective and safe in DPN. So it is expected that L-carnitine may produce better effect in compared to other medicine used previously for alleviation of DPN.
The effect of SMS follow-up on drug compliance and efficacy in patients with FGIDs has not been reported in the literature. We, therefore, conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate whether SMS follow-up could improve treatment adherence in patients with FGIDs, which in turn would help symptom relief and improve treatment outcomes.
There is little epidemiological data in the literature on the therapeutic compliance of epileptic children. Yet it is a fundamental issue in the therapeutic education and balance of this pathology. To obtain more epidemiological precision on the observance of epileptic children and to propose, according to the factors involved, the improvement of practices (therapeutic education ..). Propose an evaluation of the quality of life of their children by a suitable self-questionnaire.
Colonoscopy is the most important method to screen for colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions, whose efficacy is closely related with the quality of bowel preparation, requiring consuming purgatives and restricting the diet. Compliance to bowel preparation is highly dependent on patient education. In most cases, such education is offered only once at the time of colonoscopy scheduling by either oral or written instructions. However, about one in fourth patients still cannot achieve satisfactory bowel preparation quality. Various methods, including booklet, telephone or message reminders, smartphone applications, social media, online videos, have been used to aid patient education and prove effective. These methods can increase patient activation, which is an independent factor related to bowel preparation quality. Virtual reality(VR) videos are used in this study, giving patients direct impressions of colonoscopy. This study aims to explore whether VR videos can increase patient adherence and experience, as well as improve bowel preparation quality, compared with conventional patient education methods.
It has been observed that despite administration of apparently adequate thyroid hormone replacement in hypothyroid patients, many of them experience persistent fatigue and fatigue-related symptoms. Carnitine transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria whereupon the high energy source (ATP) becomes synthesized. Levocarnitine administration reduced fatigue related symptoms in hypothyroid patients receiving thyroid hormone replacement. The present study deals with alleviation of fatigue in hypothyroid patients by carnitine supplementation.
