The learning of appropriate hand washing technique through repetitive watching of a video depicting an adult with DS washing his hands will be studied.
A prospective multi-centre observational study to validate the diagnostic accuracy of a transportable magnetocardiograph device for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), focusing on rule-out capability, in patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain symptoms consistent with ACS.
In 1982, Steven Hayes, a clinical psychologist, developed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. In 1954, John Lilly, a cognitive neuroscientist, developed the sensory deprivation tank (known today as Floatation Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy - Float REST), to access a wide range of healing, higher brain functions, and meditation through an unparalleled deep relaxation state. In this study, the investigators aim to examine whether participants in the ACT + Float REST condition will have larger decreases of the burnout phenomenon than those who receive either only ACT or Float REST.
The aim of this trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous neridronic acid in subjects with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The trial consisted of an Enrollment Period lasting up to 60 days, Treatment Period A consisting of 4 infusions (neridronic acid or placebo) over 10 days, and a Follow-up Period 1 until Week 26. At Week 26, participants not meeting the pre-specified criteria to continue into Treatment Period B continued in Follow-up Period 2 until Week 52. Participants meeting the pre-specified criteria entered the open-label Treatment Period B with 4 additional infusions (neridronic acid) over 10 days and follow-up visits until Week 52.
This is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the safety and maintenance of efficacy of an optimized once-daily (qd) dose of NBI-98854 in pediatric subjects with TS.
Background: PANS is an illness that comes on suddenly in children. The full name is Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. It can cause sudden obsessive-compulsive behaviors. It can also cause children to suddenly restricte their food intake. Researchers want to learn more about children with PANS. They also want to learn more about the illness. Objective: To study some disorders of behavior and emotion that start in childhood. Eligibility: Children 3 14 years old who have had severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms or food restriction start quickly Design: Parents will answer questions. The topics include: Their child s medical history Their child s physical and mental health Their family history. The focus will be on neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. A family tree will be drawn. Participants will have a physical exam. Participants may take tests on paper or computer. These will focus on thinking, memory, and behavior. Participants and parents will give a blood sample. Participants will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A strong magnetic field and radio waves take pictures of the brain. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of a metal scanner. Participants may have photos or videos taken. Participants may have other tests. These may include heart tests, sleep tests, and lumbar puncture. Sponsoring Institute: National Institute of Mental Health
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, parallel-group study, enrolling approximately 100 male subjects diagnosed with CP/CPPS to evaluate the effect of 12-week treatment with AQX-1125 (active drug) compared to placebo. The subjects will be randomized to receive orally once-daily either AQX-1125 (200 mg) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio across approximately 30 centers in North America (United States and Canada). The study will consist of a screening period of up to 3 weeks, a 12-week treatment period followed by a 4-week off drug safety follow-up period, and an ophthalmic safety follow-up call at 3 months and visit at 6 months post last dose, for a total study duration of about 41 weeks.
Background: Weight gain can lead to obesity and diabetes even in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Researchers want to see if the technique intermittent calorie restriction can help overweight people with HIV as an alternative to traditional diets. Objective: To see if intermittent calorie restriction leads to weight loss and improved blood sugar in obese people with HIV. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-65 with HIV who are obese and do not have diabetes Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Before starting treatment, participants will: - Have a nutritional consultation - Get a pedometer to record daily steps - Test a restricted diet for 1 day - Have a body x-ray At the baseline visit, participants will have: - Blood drawn after they drink a sugar drink - Questions about their health and eating - A nutritional consultation - Resting energy expenditure measured. Participants will fast overnight. Then they will lie down while a plastic bubble goes over the head and a plastic sheet covers the upper body. Oxygen flows into the bubble. - Liver stiffness test. A wand on the stomach releases sound waves like an ultrasound. For 12 weeks, some participants will be on a standard diet. Others will restrict how much food they eat 2 days a week. On those days they will eat about 25% of their recommended calories. Participants will keep a diary of their diet and steps. Participants will have 4 visits during the 12-week diet and 1 visit 12 weeks after the diet ends. They will repeat previous tests.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, with a global prevalence of 11% according to a recent meta-analysis. The total cost of managing IBS in the United States is in excess of $30 billion per year, including indirect costs relating to loss of productivity of more than $20 billion. Abdominal pain/discomfort (i.e. visceral hypersensitivity) is present in all patients with IBS and remains the most therapy-resistant symptom. Apart from abdominal pain, which is measured subjectively using visual scales, several studies have shown a significant increase in rectal sensitivity, which is measured objectively using an inflatable balloon. Drugs which are shown to have objective effects on visceral hypersensitivity are crucial in the management of IBS. While certain drugs have shown to decrease abdominal pain, there is very little data to substantiate objective changes in visceral hypersensitivity. Rifaximin is a poorly absorbed antibiotic and the exact underlying mechanism of action for rifaximin in reducing the pain component of IBS remains unknown. However, rifaximin has been shown in randomized controlled trials to decrease abdominal discomfort in all subtypes of IBS. The investigators hypothesize that rifaximin is effective in decreasing rectal visceral hypersensitivity in IBS patients. In this study, the investigators propose to test this hypothesis by measuring visceral hypersensitivity using the graded balloon distention test, before and after a course of rifaximin. To test whether this effect is accompanied by treating SIBO, the investigators will also perform lactulose breath tests before and after rifaximin therapy.
