Filter by:The first aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a single therapy session on trunk muscle activation and lumbopelvic sensorimotor control in persons with recurrent low back pain in remission. The second aim of the study is to examine the convergent validity of (in)voluntary multifidus activation by means of inspection and palpation during two clinically assessed lumbopelvic sensorimotor control tests in persons with recurrent low back pain in remission. The convergent validity will be examined by calculating the relationship between (1) the clinical score of (in)voluntary multifidus activation, (2) back muscle activation during the same tests measured simultaneously with electromyography and (3) trunk muscle activation during other functional movements measured with electromyography. The third aim of the study is to investigate the convergent validity of a left-right discrimination test by calculating the relationship between (1) the left-right discrimination test, (2) position-reposition test, (3) the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire and (4) the Photograph Series of Daily Activities Scale.
The Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ) is a large international collaboration to develop algorithms using a set of clinical and cognitive assessments, multi-modal biomarkers, and clinical endpoints that can be used to predict the trajectories and outcomes of individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis and to advance the testing of pharmacological interventions for CHR individuals in need. The goal is to accurately predict which individuals are likely to remit, experience an acute psychotic episode, or have intermediate outcomes that feature persistent attenuated psychotic and/or mood symptoms along with functional impairment. The prediction algorithms will have the potential to serve as early indicators of treatment efficacy in CHR persons. The AMP SCZ research program is made up of the Psychosis Risk Evaluation, Data Integration, and Computational Technologies - Data Processing, Analysis and Coordination Center (PREDICT-DPACC) and two clinical research networks, the Psychosis-Risk Outcomes Network (ProNET) and the Trajectories and Predictors in the Clinical High Risk for Psychosis Population: Prediction Scientific Global Consortium (PRESCIENT) networks. The two clinical research networks will recruit a large cohort of CHR young people aged 12-30 years (n=1,977) and healthy control (HC) participants (n=640) across 42 participating investigative sites from 13 countries. CHR participants will complete screening, baseline assessments and a battery of follow-up assessments across 18 - 24 months. HC participants will complete screening and baseline assessments and a subset (5 per site) will complete month 2, 12 and 24 visits.
The goal of this single-center, prospective clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of belimumab combined with multi-target therapy in the treatment of severe lupus nephritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: lupus nephritis complete remission rate at week 24, and the partial remission rate and safety assessments. Patients with severe lupus nephritis will be enrolled and received pulse methylprednisolone at a dose of 1.5 to 3.0g, followed by intravenous belimumab at a dose of 10mg per kilogram at weeks 2, 4, and 6, and every 4 weeks thereafter. Multitarget therapy will be also administered during the induction phase. Induction therapy will last for 24 weeks. Patients with severe lupus nephritis who only received multi-target therapy during the same period will be enrolled as the control group.
This is a phase II, open-label, prospective study of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for children and adults with hematological malignancies
Background: Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) represents a further solution for patients who experience an inadequate response following initial bariatric surgery or significant weight regain following an initial satisfactory response. Studies including the follow-up of patients with complications after RBS are still lacking. Aim: to analyze the trend, mortality, and complications at 30 days after RBS in Italy. Secondary aim: 30-day readmission rate, reoperations for any reason related to bariatric surgery. Design: longitudinal, prospective, multicenter study. Time interval: 10 months October 2021 - July 2022). Setting: 11 high-volume bariatric centers of the Italian National Health Service (SSN), university hospitals, hospitals, accredited private centers. Methods: All patients undergoing RBS from 01.11.2021 through 31.04.2022 will be enrolled in a prospective, online database, registering indications, technique, mortality, intraoperative and perioperative complications, readmission for any reason. All participating centers follow the same preoperative work-up protocol, indications, informed consent, and postoperative follow-up, including scheduled telephone and outpatient visits after 7, 15 and 30 postoperative days. Inclusion criteria: revisional procedures; no concomitant procedure, but hiatal hernia repair; age >18<60 years; compensated comorbidities; informed consent including COVID-19 addendum; adherence to specific admission, in-hospital and follow-up protocols. Patients undergone RBS during 2016-2020 will be considered a control group. The study will not involve any modification of the usual protocols. Statistical analyze: to make qualitative quantitative comparison regarding clinical and anthropometric factors between the two study groups (2021-22; 2016-20), the z-test for two proportions and t-test (two-tailed) will be used, respectively. The significance is fixed at 0.05 and all analyzes will be performed with the SPSS v.27 software. Expected results: enroll about 500 patients to obtain information on the safety of RBS and the current trends in Italy.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental illness with high prevalence and global burden. Previous studies revealed that over 70% patients in remission still had decreased quality of life, severe function impairment, low positive mental health score and poor coping ability. However, few studies focus on working and school age patients with MDD. A GBD survey showed that over 40% MDD patients are 15-50 years old. Therefore, we initiate the present multi-center cross-sectional survey to investigate the associations between clinical symptoms, cognitive function, occupational/study ability, and quality of life in Chinese working and school age population with MDD who are in remission.
A 2-year prospective observational study comparing a group of patients in remitted states of psychosis undergoing guided antipsychotic dose reduction to a similar group of patients under maintenance antipsychotic treatment with the main outcome of interest that if the rates of relapse of psychosis between these two groups will be different.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel enteral nutrition (EN) protocol (delivering 75% of patient's caloric needs through EN) for induction of remission in patients with active childhood-onset Crohn's disease (CD) and compare it to the standard protocol with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN). This novel approach allows patients to consume remaining calories (25%) from an antiinflammatory diet for CD (AID-CD). The hypothesis is that no significant difference in the remission rate between the novel EN protocol with partial enteral nutrition (PEN) and standard protocol with EEN will be observed.
The overall aim of this project is to investigate whether a gluten free diet after the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) can better preserve the remaining beta cell mass and at the same time prevent the development of Celiac Disease (CD) in these patients. Specific aims • To study whether gluten free diet during one year after the onset of diabetes influence the appearance and duration of clinical remission in children with Type 1 diabetes. New data show that a gluten free diet is beneficial concerning the insulin production after the onset of diabetes. The investigators want to investigate if gluten is a triggering protein for the destruction of the beta cell function after the onset of diabetes by comparing children who have a normal diet compared to children with a gluten free diet during one year after the onset of the disease. - To study whether a gluten free diet during one year after the onset of diabetes prevent the development of Celiac Disease in these children and the impact of having two diseases It is known that it is almost 10 times more common that children with Type 1 Diabetes (IDDM) develop Celiac Disease (CD) than the general population and that most of these children (6-7 %) develop CD after the onset of Diabetes and within 5 years. Based on our new data that CD is preventable to some extent the investigators plan to perform randomized controlled studies if it is possible to prevent or postpone CD by means after the onset of IDDM. - To investigate the impact of gluten free diet on the regulation of autoimmune responses The investigators will test the hypothesis that gluten free diet in children with recent onset T1D will implement immune regulation and inhibit the activation of potentially autoreactive T cells.
Remission is nowadays an achievable objective for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients thanks to a large choice of therapies, early treatment and tight control (30% relapse). Ultrasound (US) driven-therapy, complemented with a clinico-biological follow-up, may improve the prognosis of RA in remission by increasing the duration of sustained remission and by preventing radiographic structural progression. The tested hypothesis is: The US coverage of RA allows to increase the duration of sustained clinical remission.
