Filter by:This project will study the effects of a major reorganization of psychiatric inpatient wards. This reorganization will affect many aspects of day-to-day work, with the aim of improving the individualization of care, the integration of relatives and the participation of the patients in treatment planning. This new organization will initially involve a first pilot ward, before being extended to other wards. The aim of this project is to understand whether this new organization has positive effects on the use of coercive measures, the average length of stay, the improvement in patients' clinical condition, as well as on patient satisfaction, their perception of coercion, the wards' atmosphere on the unit and patients' personal recovery. All patients admitted to three wards of the Division of adult psychiatry of the Geneva University Hospital aged 18 and over, with a good knowledge of French and being treated for any type of diagnosis except dementia, are invited to take part in the study. They will be assessed at discharge regarding the selected outcomes. The study will last 18 months: during the first 9 months, the new model will be applied on the pilot ward, and the wo other wards will serve as comparison wards. After 9 months, the model will also be applied to these other two wards.
In-season pitch volume have been shown to relate to arm soreness in collegiate baseball players. Arm soreness is a common ailment following a pitching appearance due to the adaptation to soft tissue in response to a repetitive load to the throwing arm. Specifically, ongoing and accumulated fatigue and soreness to the flexor pronator mass region of the arm may be a predecessor for UCL injury. Different recovery modalities such as a bioactive fabric sleeve may give pitchers a recovery advantage throughout a baseball season. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in subjective soreness of the flexor pronator mass the day following a game pitching appearance using a sleeve with bioactive fabric which potentially improves cellular function versus a control sleeve.
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of resourcefulness group intervention on facilitating recovery and improving the quality of life in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Our study aims to assess the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on psychotic severity among Inpatients with primary psychosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The goal of this tudy will be to investigate the effects of a single session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on recovery and performance after a football match in elite youth football players. The main questions this study will aim to answer are: Will a single session of HBOT improve recovery parameters such as biochemical markers and physical fitness in elite youth football players after a football match? Will a single session of HBOT enhance the performance of elite youth football players after a football match? Participants in this study will include twenty elite youth male football players. They will be randomly assigned to either the HBOT group or the control group. All participants will undergo evaluations for biochemical parameters, physical fitness tests, and the Hooper Index (HI) at multiple time points: before the match, at the end of the match, one hour after the HBOT session, and 12 hours after the HBOT session. In the HBOT group, participants will receive 100% oxygen under elevated pressure in a hyperbaric chamber for a duration of 70 minutes immediately after the football match. Meanwhile, the control group will be exposed to normal atmospheric pressure. Biochemical analysis will involve collecting blood samples to measure markers such as myoglobin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Physical fitness tests will include vertical jump height measurements (squat jump, countermovement jump, and countermovement jump with arm swing) and linear speed assessments at various distances (5 m, 10 m, and 20 m). The Hooper Index (HI) will be used for subjective assessment of fatigue and well-being. This study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of HBOT as a recovery strategy for elite youth football players and its impact on performance in the future.
The model of care for forensic psychiatry in Italy was changed by law (Law 81/2014) so that the six legacy secure forensic hospitals (Judicial Psychiatric Hospitals, OPG) were closed and new secure community residences for the execution of security measures (REMS) were opened in each of the 20 regions of Italy. This transition was in place by 2015. This observational study evaluates the health gains for patients both previously in OPGs and those admitted first to REMS. Health gains assessed include recovery measured by symptoms, function, need for therapeutic security and recovery of legal autonomy.
Pain after a cesarean section is of moderate to severe intensity. A Danish multicenter study from 2021 used an obstetric Quality of Recovery score 24 hours after the cesarean section and found that 45% of 861 patients had experienced very severe pain during recovery. This result was surprisingly high but also unspecific. Therefore, the investigators aim to investigate the intensity of pain experienced by patients at specific time intervals after the cesarean section e.g., every 6th hour. Additionally, the investigators will examine whether the pain has an impact on important functions for both the patients and the newborns, as well as assess the overall morphine consumption. All Danish regions have approved the REDCap database as a secure way to collect and store data. REDCap can also send encrypted links that can be converted into SMS messages sent to the participants' mobile phones at fixed intervals, allowing participants to enter data directly into the secure system. The investigators also aim to feasibility test the system. When a child is delivered by cesarean section, it is an expectation that the mother can take care of herself and the baby a few hours after the surgery. However, severe pain can hinder this. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether pain relief for our patients is sufficient. Based on response rates and the frequency of outcomes, data from this observational study can support the design of a future national multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a focus on postoperative pain intervention. The incidences of binary outcome measures and standard deviations of continuous outcome measures will support the sample size calculations for our RCT.
Dietary protein has been shown to be important to support physical training. For occupational demands such as military training, new recruits often fail to meet the recommended protein intake during basic training (BT), with negligible amounts consumed in the evening. As such, individuals undertaking BT may require higher intakes than the general population.This study assessed the influence of a daily bolus of protein prior to sleep on performance adaptations, body composition and recovery in British Army recruits.
The study will evaluate the impact of high velocity therapy (HVT) on reduction of work of breathing (as implied by breath frequency) and enhanced blood lactate decline during recovery from a Wingate-type Exercise test. The study will include four study segments, corresponding to four different therapy settings.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of various recovery strategies (such as longer recovery periods or reduced exercise intensity) in optimizing both physical performance and overall health status. Furthermore, the study will explore the potential of using changes in blood and urinary markers as indicators for assessing recovery status. This study will assess whether extending recovery periods between exercise sessions and reducing the volume of exercise training can enhance the recovery process and enhance performance and health-related markers, relative to a control group. One hundred-fifth young males will be recruited to participate in a single-center, parallel-group, randomized, well-controlled, superiority trial for 8 weeks of high-volume exercise training. A single-center, parallel-group, randomized, well-controlled, superiority trial will be conducted among 150 physically active young males. Participants will undergo an 8-week high-volume exercise during base training program, which they will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) a control group, which will follow the standard exercise regimen of 35 hours/week (n = 50); (2) a less exercise volume group, which will reduce exercise volume by 15% to 30 hours/week (n = 50); and (3) an extended recovery group, which will perform the same volume of exercise as the control group (35 hours/week), but with longer recovery intervals between exercises (n = 50). The intervention will take place at the Ministry of Defense training platform. All study measurements will be taken at baseline and throughout the study. Body composition will be assessed using multichannel bioelectrical impedance (Seca). Continuously monitor (Garmin) will be used to evaluate heart rate and heart rate variability. Fasting blood samples will be used to examine inflammatory, lipid, glycemic, and endocrine markers. Physical performance will be assessed by several validated assessments, including handgrip, maximal voluntary contraction, Wingate test, Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP), counter movement jump (CMJ) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max).
