This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a standard mobile iPhone cognitive behavioral therapy program to a personalized mobile iPhone cognitive behavioral therapy program that introduces new skills over a shorter period of time. Participants will use the Maya app for two days per week, at least 20 minutes per day, for six weeks. Assessments will include a weekly check in with a member of the research team, questionnaires, and optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings at the beginning and end of the 6-week intervention. The investigators think that that the less burdensome personalized program will be just as effective at improving symptoms of anxiety and depression as the general program.
The first phase was designed in a methodological pattern in order to develop, usability, and performance of mobile application (mobileapp) called "My Fight with Incontinence". Aim of the second phase of the study was to evaluate the effect of mobileapp developed according to the health belief model on incontinence symptoms, Kegel exercise compliance, health belief and quality of life towards UI and kegel exercises in women with UI. The study was planned in a single-center, single-blind, one-to-one, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial design with a 3-month follow-up period. The research will be carried out in the Urology service and polyclinics of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health Practice and Research Hospital. The study population of the research consists of 203 female patients over the age of 18 who were followed up with the diagnosis of Stress, Urge, and Mixed Type UI. Sample selection will not be made in the first stage of the study, and mobileapp will be tested on people aged 18 and over who can be reached, working, studying, or receiving treatment at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Training, Application and Research Hospital and Eskişehir Osmangazi University. The number of samples required for the study was determined by the power analysis made in the GPower 3.1 package program. Assuming that there may be losses during the follow-up and considering the possibility of nonparametric testing, a total of 96 individuals, 48 in each group, with an increase of 20%, will form the research group. In the second stage of the study, "Incontinence Severity Index Questionnaire", "International Urinary Incontinence Inquiry Form-Short Form (ICIQ-SF)", "Kegel Exercise Compliance Follow-up Form", "Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise", "Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7)" will be used. Control group will be given a training booklet called "My Fight with Incontinence", which includes healthy lifestyle behaviors, bladder training, and Kegel exercises related to UI after the pre-tests are applied. After pre-tests are applied to the study group, "My Fight with Incontinence" mobileapp will be installed on their mobile phones by researcher. Reminders will be sent to the patients on a regular basis via the mobileapp. Participants in both the control and study groups will be provided with the link of the survey form created via google forms in the 6th and 12th weeks by sending an SMS.
The guiding role of parallel randomized controlled trials in clinical practice is limited due to the insufficiency of individual information. Our previous studies showed that Single case randomized controlled trials (referred to as N-of-1 trials) could reflect the individualized characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation with good feasibility, but the sensitivity was low. This study aims to compare the efficacy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation with controlled decoctions (placebo, and the method of strengthening the body resistance and removing phlegm) among patients with stable bronchiectasis through a series of N-of-1 trials (single-patient, double-blind, randomized, multiple crossover design), with the 7 point-likert scale of the most concerned symptoms as the main outcome. Hierarchical Bayesian statistical methods and some parameters and variables will be introduced, such as TCM syndrome type, potential residue effect of TCM, etc. The sensitivity and applicability of various mathematical models (Hierarchical Bayesian, paired t-test and Meta-analysis) for N-of-1 trials of TCM will be tested, for the purpose of improving the sensitivity and applicability of N-of-1 trials of TCM both on individual and group levels.
Keeping in mind the rising number of cases in Egypt and the strain they put on hospital infrastructure, the idea of home isolation and follow up for COVID 19 positive cases has been adopted in many countries and was approved by World Health Organization (WHO) and Egyptian Ministry of health (MOH). Telehealth can help to mitigate this risk by minimizing the amount of face-to-face interactions. The WHO mentioned telemedicine among essential services in "strengthening the Health Systems Response to COVID-19" policy. The aim in this study is to study the effectiveness of telemedicine in managing mild COVID cases regarding isolation measures, symptoms, medications adherence, and reporting of red flags and side effects.
Web-based training and telephone monitoring have an effect on reducing symptom burden in patients with heart failure. Web-based training and telephone monitoring have an effect on improving the quality of life of patients with heart failure. Web-based training and telephone follow-up have an effect on reducing recurrent hospitalizations of patients with heart failure. Web-based training and telephone follow-up have a positive effect on the clinical parameters (weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, creatinine) of patients with heart failure.
the purpose of this study is to investigate over time patients' symptom burden, caregiving burden, and patients and caregivers' need for information on patient symptom self-management at home during palliative radiotherapy(RT) for lung cancer. Repeatedly assessing burden and information needs on symptom self-management at home can help healthcare professionals to design a bespoke service and plan of care for both patients and family caregivers. In addition, I will explore psycho-social and clinical predictors of burden and information needs in patients and caregivers. These predictors can help health professionals to identify patients and caregivers at risk for distress during palliative radiotherapy for lung cancer.
This study evaluates how two different types of postoperative bra 1) standard bra, soft VS 2) compression bra compression after breast cancer surgery affect pain, seroma, other symptoms and complications, and the womans experience of comfort
Prolapse of the pelvic organs is a common pathology in women with a strong impact on the quality of life. Its prevalence tends to increase due to increased life expectancy and obesity. The main treatment is surgical and involves all organ specialists dealing with pelvic-perineal functional disorders: urologists, gynecologists, digestive surgeons. Our team wishes to evaluate, on a cohort of patients operated at the Caen University Hospital, the functional uro-gynecologic, digestive and sexual results of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair by Laparoscopic Promontofixation (PFL) through symptoms and quality of life validated questionnaires (QoL). The analysis of the responses to these questionnaires will allow us to evaluate the functional results in the short and medium term (from 6 months to 5 years)
Endodontic failures are not uncommonly encountered despite improvements in routine root canal therapy. Endodontic microsurgery is one way to manage such failure. The placement of a retrograde filling material is considered the most important prognostic factor in endodontic microsurgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiographic outcome of a fast set bioceramic root end filling material in human teeth.
