Filter by:RASopathies are a group of syndromes caused by variants in genes belonging to the RAS/MAPK pathway. Pain is a neglected topic in RASopathies but it is frequently complained by affected individuals.
Recent studies have shown that the aperiodic part of the signal (neuronal avalanches) of electroencephalography (EEG) contains important information about the dynamics of neuronal networks. Indeed, this has helped to identify functionally altered areas in patients with temporal epilepsy by simply using the resting EEG signal. Furthermore, it has been seen that the propagation of neuronal avalanches (VNs) correlates with the morphological organization of the cerebral cortex. Therefore, NAs represent a measure with direct utility for studying functional reorganization pre and post drug/surgical treatment. In addition, the aperiodic portion of the signal may represent a noninvasive measure of the excitation/inhibition relationship, which is known of being altered both in epilepsy and in some rare neurodevelopmental syndromes (example: Angelman and Dup15q)
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of the use of one standard dose of siltuximab prior to teclistamab infusion. Siltuximab is an investigational (experimental) drug that works by binding directly to human interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 is a cytokine; these are products that are secreted by certain cells of the immune system and effect other cells in participant's body. IL-6 regulates immune, inflammatory and metabolic processes. Siltuximab has already been tested and approved for use by the FDA in participants with a condition called multicentric Castleman's disease, which is a lymphoproliferative disorder. This study is being conducted to investigate if administration of a single dose of siltuximab will reduce the rates of and severity of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) in participants prior to teclistamab administration. CRS and ICANS are adverse effects commonly experienced by participants being treated with teclistamab that are related to inflammation in the body. Siltuximab is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prophylactic use prior to administration of teclistamab infusion.
The study aims to compare the effects of orofacial therapy and therapeutic yoga on swallowing, sleep habits, and quality of life in children with Down syndrome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women aged 50-75 years old who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? - Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)
To breakthrough the bottleneck identified, we will conduct a cross-sectional study to develop a symptom clustering model for depression and anxiety. A wide range of statistical methods as well as machine learning approaches were explored, and a cohesive hierarchical clustering algorithm will be used. After developing the model, a symptom-matched intervention program based on problem solving therapy will be formulated. We are supposed to examine whether its use for personalizing symptom-matched psychological treatment can lead to improved patient outcomes, compared with usual care. This project is expected to provide a new and precise method for the emotion management, which will provide a standardized intervention pathway combining screening with treatment for the management of depression symptom and anxiety symptom. A preciser intervention matched to individual symptoms may provide important insight in improving patient outcome as well as a standardized mood management pathway targeting to the early detection and intervention for community residents.
Susac's syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterised by a triad of encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), branch retinal artery occlusion (loss of vision) and sensorineural hearing loss. This study presents the case of a patient undergoing intensive physiotherapy intervention following an injury, focusing on assessments such as volume and range of motion measurements, manual muscle tests, and pain intensity evaluations using various scales.
This study was a prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial conducted at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of a local research and training hospital in Turkey from October 2023 and May 2024. Patients diagnosed with CTS were classified into three groups: severe, mild, and moderate CTS, based on the results of electrophysiological tests. An ultrasound-guided 5% Dextrose in Water injection was performed. The primary outcome measurement was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while secondary measurements were the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and the Dolour Neuropathic en 4 Questions (DN4) questionnaire. The measurements were performed before the injection and at the first week, first month and third month follow-up times. The distribution of data within groups was examined using the Shapiro-Wilk test and Q-Q plots. The study also analyzed temporal changes, group differences, and intergroup changes using repeated measures ANOVA models.
The aim of this study was to investigate the level of physical activity and its determinants in children with WPW.
The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group clinical study that assesses the effect of postbioc on the complaints of subjects with moderate to severe diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The trial is also evaluating the potential of postbiotic on anxiety, low mood and stress of the participants, as well as its safety and tolerability. The intervention duration for all the study participants is 12 weeks (intervention phase). Subsequently, the participants will be invited to return to site for an end of study assessment after 21 days of no intervention (post-intervention phase).
