Filter by:Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for incisional hernia, COPD has persistent airflow restriction and pulmonary ventilation dysfunction. The aim of this study was to compare differences in pulmonary ventilation function between primary incisional hernia and recurrent incisional hernia. Method According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,Patients diagnosed with "incisional hernia" in our hospital's electronic medical record system were divided into two groups: primary group and recurrent group based on whether the incisional hernia recurred after incisional hernia repair,who were screened out with abdominal wall incisional hernia.The patient information of the two groups were collected, examined and recorded.The clinical data was analyzed by using statistical analysis software.
The treatment process of substance addiction is applied principally by psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric mental health nurses. In this respect, psychiatric mental health nurses have a crucial role to play. As they are the one who is in touch with the patients for 24 hours, psychiatric nurses can enhance the treatment process a lot through the application of a mindfulness-based relapse prevention program. As drug abuse is such a devastating affliction, further knowledge about specific traits that may increase the chances of a successful recovery would be greatly beneficial to enhance treatment and decrease relapse rate. Accordingly, this study will be conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based relapse prevention program on readiness for change, and efficacy among clients with substance use disorder. AIMS OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to: Examine the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Program on readiness for change and self-efficacy among clients with substance use disorder during the rehabilitation phase. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Clients with substance use disorder who attend Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention program sessions exhibit higher levels of readiness for change and self-efficacy compared to those who receive conventional hospital treatment.
A randomized crossover trial of ALAN intervention was conducted in patients with chronic schizophrenia in Anhui Mental Health Center from August 15 to September 30, 2022. All participants met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). The enrolled patients were in the symptom-stable phase and were regularly prescribed antipsychotics (no change in medication regimen). The diets of all the participants were uniformly supplied during study. Patients with infectious diseases, eye diseases, or gastrointestinal diseases, or who used antibiotics at the time of recruitment, were excluded. The wards of the participants were all located in the same inpatient building. All included wards had the same size, layout, lighting and orientation of doors and windows. In normal conditions, each ward retains a small LED lamp (the same layout in all wards) at night as a source of lighting. The study was divided into two stages. In the first stage, 10 wards were randomly selected as the intervention group (opaque black tape covering part of the light source), and another 10 wards were selected as the control group (no intervention). After a two-week washout interval, the second stage was carried out, with the two groups interchanging interventions. At the end of each intervention, participants completed a structured questionnaire scale to assess the relapse risk of schizophrenia, and then their fecal samples were collected.
The emergence and spread of drug resistance is a major obstacle to combating malaria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that regular efficacy monitoring should be undertaken by all malaria endemic countries that have deployed artemisinin combination therapy (ACT), to help early detection of drug resistant strains of the parasite and contain their rapid spread. Artemether-lumefantrine (AL) has been the first-line antimalarial drug against uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Philippines since 2009, with primaquine as an anti-relapse drug. The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum infections in the Philippines. The study was conducted in three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brooke's Point, and Rizal) of Palawan. Single-arm prospective study of a 28-day follow-up was conducted from February 2017 to December 2018 according to the revised WHO 2014 drug efficacy study protocol. Study subjects were consenting individuals seeking care at the selected Rural Health Units, who were aged >6 months old to 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. falciparum infections. AL was administered for 3 days according to body weight (Days 0, 1 and 2) and primaquine 0.75 mg/kg body weight single dose was given on Day 3 following the National Treatment Guidelines.
Chloroquine (CQ) is officially used as a first-line drug of Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Philippines. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of CQ for the treatment of uncomplicated P. vivax malaria in three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brooke's Point and Rizal) of Palawan was evaluated using the World Health Organization protocol with a follow-up of 28 days and additional 2 days (Day 31 and 34) for hemoglobin monitoring after primaquine treatment. Study subjects were febrile individuals between > 6 months old and 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. vivax infections. Chloroquine was administered according to body weight at a total dose of 25 mg/kg over 3 days (10 mg/kg on Day 0; 10 mg/kg on Day 1 and 5 mg/kg on Day 2), and primaquine following the National Treatment Guidelines. During the 1 year period that this report covers, there were 8,305 individuals were screened.
Artemether-lumefantrine has been used as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infection since 2009 in the Philippines. The 28 day therapeutic efficacy study was conducted between February 2015 and December 2015, in accordance with WHO guidelines in the three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brookes and Rizal) of Palawan. Attempt was made to include Panglima-Sugala, Tawi-Tawi; however, due to the decline in the number of malaria cases, no evaluable subject was enrolled. The study subjects were febrile individuals between > 6 months old and 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. falciparum. They were treated with artemether-lumefantrine (20 mg and 120 mg, respectively) administered 3 days (Days 0, 1 and 2) according to body weight. Primaquine (0.75 mg base/kg body weight single dose) was given on Day 3. Outcomes were classified as early treatment failure (ETF), late clinical failure (LCF), late parasitological failure (LPF) and adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR).
The influence of Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) on the surgical treatment of loco-regionally recurrent colorectal cancer (LRRCRC) remains obscure and deserves further investigation.
The aim of this study was to compare the differences in relapse and failure rates in patients treated with fixed retainers (FRs) using Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing technology, lab-based technique, and chairside method.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, radiation dosimetry and pharmacokinetics 89Zr-TLX250 (also known as 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in adult Chinese patients with indeterminate renal masses or Suspected Recurrent Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to compare the recurrence rates of Esomeprazole and Lansoprazole in triple combination therapy to eradicate H.pylori infection in children. The participants were divided into two groups, those who received Esomeprazole and those who received Lansoprazole
