Filter by:Recreational UV exposure is associated with every form of skin cancer and individuals who engage in more physical activity have a higher prevalence of sunburn, a proximal biomarker of melanoma risk, perhaps explaining why melanoma is the only cancer with which physical activity is positively correlated. Mobile technology for tracking physical activity has become increasingly prevalent and Strava, an activity tracking app and social networking site for athletes, is one of the most popular of these technologies. This research will test the feasibility of delivering location-based, ecologically-valid sun safety advice to Strava users at times when they are predicted to be engaged in outdoor physical activity, by utilizing Strava's public open-source Applications Programming Interface.
The objective of this study is to assess the interest and the efficiency of a warm-up prevention program on the prevalence of shoulder injuries in amateur volleyball players. Around ten teams will be included in the study. They will be divided into two groups (blind): an intervention group and a control group. A warm-up prevention program will implemented in the teams of intervention group. This program will have to be followed twice a week, at the beginning of the training session. In both groups, shoulder injuries will be registered each month by an online questionnaire.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a universal prevention program delivered by psychologists in conjunction with pediatric primary care well-child visits.
ABSTRACT Object: The impact of morbidity and the deterioration in health-related quality of life for patients with lymphedema after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer justify the implementation of prevention programs to decrease the incidence of this chronic condition. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of an experimental prevention program with that of our conventional prevention program. Methods: Clinical randomized trial in two parallel groups over a two-year period. Key words: lymphedema, breast cancer, prevention, rehabilitation
Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are a type of detailed healthcare checkup to which Medicare beneficiaries are entitled, free of charge, once per year. The purpose of the current study is to assess what content and communication modality results in the most effective messaging campaign to encourage Medicare beneficiaries to schedule their AWVs.
Due to the aging of the earth's population in the coming years, strategies for preventing falls in the elderly are of increasing research interest. Injuries due to falls have a direct impact on the quality of life of the elderly and are associated with very high costs for the healthcare system. However, few organized fall prevention interventions have been implemented in Greece, unlike other EU countries. The systematic recording of falls, the information and education of older people about injury prevention and the participation of older people in organized fall coping strategies in Greece are almost non-existent. Group exercise programs have proven to be effective in reducing falls. The OTAGO exercise program has shown that it can effectively reduce the number of falls in the elderly by up to 54%. However, its widespread implementation by a government agency in Greece such as the Elderly Day Care Centers (EDCC) has not yet been possible.
Approximately 17% of all patients with stroke are classified as having ESUS, which is associated with a considerable rate of stroke recurrence 4-5 % per year. Despite recent scientific advances in acute ischemic stroke treatment in recent decades,consensus treatment of all guidelines is still ASA
Purpose :To determine the impact of directed Valsalva's's versus spontaneous pushing techniques during second stage of labour on postpartum maternal fatigue. . Methods: The control group participants have an onset of spontaneous pushing when the cervical dilatation was 6cm while the directed pushing group carried out the Valsalva's manoeuvre.The data of the study are obtained by utilizing Baseline Obstetric Data Form and Visual Analogue Fatigue Scale (VAFS). The investigators have done postpartum tests on perineal tear, hemorrhagia, haemoglobin level, vital findings, blood pH, pO2 and pCO2, and lactate level for the mother while the neonatal tests of APGAR score for 1st and 5th minutes, umbilical artery blood pH, pO2 and pCO2 levels are done for the newborn.
Substance use problems are major concern in adolescents involved in Youth Protection Services. However, there is an enormous gap between the needs and availability of interventions for youth with substance use problems in the system. The present study will examine the feasibility and proof-of-concept of implementing an evidence-based, personality-targeted drug and alcohol prevention programme for high-risk adolescents (i.e., Preventure programme) receiving services from Youth Protection Services. Our goal is to examine the effects of these interventions on reducing rates of substance use outcomes, depression symptoms, and self-reported anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity at 3- and 6-month post-intervention. These primary outcomes were selected based on previous Preventure trials with the community samples, that indicated these factors largely accounted for the long-term intervention effects on improving substance use outcomes. The study will be conducted at Batshaw Youth and Family Centres, which provide psychosocial, rehabilitation and social integration services and services related to child placement and adoption to English-speaking youth from all regions of Quebec. Adolescents receiving services from Batshaw centres (N = 100, aged 14 and above) will be invited to participate in the study. All interested adolescents will be invited to attend one assessment session with the research team. Participants who score high on one of subscales of Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS) (i.e., high-risk adolescents) will be invited to participate in two 90-minute group-based intervention sessions, which target their dominant personality profile. Sessions will be cognitive-behavioural in nature and are designed to help youth understand the target personality trait and develop adaptive coping strategies for managing that trait using motivational and cognitive restructuring techniques. The primary outcomes will be measured at baseline before receiving the interventions and then with 3-month and 6-month intervals after receiving the interventions to test whether these outcomes are significantly reduced after receiving the interventions. The results of this study will be used to plan the future directions of personality-targeted interventions for youth involved in Youth Protection Services.
Aims and objectives:This experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of perineum massage with olive oil performed in the second period of the delivery on travay duration, episiotomy requirement and perineum tears in term pregnant women. Background: Perineal trauma that may occur during labor may pose a critical risk both for mother's health and her quality of life. Design: A randomized controlled trial. This study adhered to CONSORT 2010 checklist guidelines for qualitative research reporting Method: Among women who applied to Maternity Hospital 350 pregnant women were assigned to massage group while other 350 were to control group. Participants in both groups filled out an information form including socio-demographic characteristics. Perineum massage with olive oil in the second period of delivery was performed to massage group. In the control group, no other interventions except for applications performed routinely in the delivery room were done. Results: Episiotomy was done in 34.3% of massage group while in 48.6% of control group. Percentage of being performed episiotomy in the massage group significantly decreased (p<0.05).Tear appeared in 17.7% of the massage group while in 38.0% of the controls. Percentage of tear formation in the massage group significantly decreased (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the second period of the delivery of massage and control group. All of the pregnant women in the massage group and midwives who performed massage were satisfied with perineum massage with olive oil in the delivery and stated that they would suggest and perform this application Conclision: Regarding the results of this study and those of other studies, perineal massage during the second stage of labor can reduce the need for episiotomy, and avoid perineal injuries, and perineal pain. This study provides useful information to clinician and researchers when determining practices such as postnatal standing up in early period,reduced episiotomy requirement, mother's health ,her quality of life, shorter hospital stay and perineal trauma. What does this paper contribute to the wider global clinical community? - Perineum massage performed with olive oil in delivery are an effective, inexpensive, simple, and well‐tolerated way to improve intact perineum.. - Perineum massage performed with olive oil in delivery are safe and associated with mother's health and her quality of life and shorter hospital stay.
