Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the improvement in body composition effects of lifestyle intervention in subjects with metabolic syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: Does life style intervention lower body fat% and gene methylation levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome? Participants will answer survey questions and get blood and body composition testing done at day 0, at 6 months and 12 months. Keep a diary of their food and activity and the number of times they use mobile health application.
Why? PSYLIVED is a qualitative study that aims to understand the psychological experience of individuals living with inherited colorectal cancer. It addresses the question of how individuals cope emotionally and adapt to the unique challenges they face. This research sheds light on the emotional journey of those with inherited colorectal cancer, potentially leading to improved support services, interventions, and care practices tailored to their needs. The study seeks to enhance the well-being of patients undergoing genetic testing and contribute to better services and support practices. What? PSYLIVED is a qualitative study that will employ reflexive Thematic Analysis methodology to explore the emotional responses and experiences of participants over time. Who? The investigators are interested in interviewing between 30 to 66 individuals who have first-hand experience of being at risk or having an inherited colorectal cancer syndrome. Where? While the study is conducted by the St Mark's Centre for Familial Intestinal Cancer, this study is open to individuals in the UK. Interviews will primarily be conducted via telephone or Microsoft Teams to facilitate accessibility. However, participants residing near London who prefer face-to-face interviews will be offered this option. How? Each participant will take part in a one-hour audio-recorded interview where they will be asked to talk about their experiences. The interview will be recorded, so it can be transcribed word by word. During the transcription, the interview will be anonymised to ensure confidentiality. The responses will then be compared and analysed to create a result summary, along with interviews from other individuals with similar experiences. The study is set to commence in June 2024, with recruitment open for approximately two years.
This observational study seeks to investigate the underlying processes of myasthenia gravis by employing multimodal monitoring techniques. By integrating digital biomarkers alongside clinical monitoring, we aim to enhance the detection of disease activity and establish correlations between digital measures, clinical scores and various questionnaires including sores on quality of life, sleep quality or activities of daily living. Primarily including patients treated with newly approved drugs, it aims at improving and monitoring the efficacy and safety of treatment and allowing a more individualized treatment.
Sixty adults who have experienced acute coronary syndrome within the past 2-12 months from three states (Rhode Island, North Carolina, Minnesota) will be randomized to either (1) a coaching program for depressed mood and health behavior change (Behavioral Activation for Health and Depression; BA-HD), or (2) Enhanced Usual Care. This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures and BA-HD, and establish protocol and measurement harmonization across three sites in preparation for a future multi-site efficacy trial.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a set of symptoms and signs caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. The prevalence in the general population is about 3.72%, with a rising trend, making it the most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome. Compared to conservative treatment, surgical treatment has definite efficacy and lower recurrence rates, making it the ultimate choice for relieving median nerve compression. However, open surgery has disadvantages such as large trauma, long postoperative recovery period, and scar formation, while wrist arthroscopic surgery, although minimally invasive, is technically challenging, requires expensive specialized equipment, and has low cost-effectiveness, limiting its clinical application. Therefore, based on clinical and life experience, our team innovatively developed the "Ultrasound-guided Needle Release of the Transverse Carpal Ligament." This technique avoids the risks of large trauma and scar formation associated with traditional open surgery, significantly shortens surgical and postoperative recovery times, and is more minimally invasive and cost-effective compared to wrist arthroscopic surgery, thus having high clinical value for promotion. This study aims to validate the effectiveness and safety of this innovative procedure through a single-arm interventional clinical study, providing a theoretical basis for further clinical application.
The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common cause for "anterior knee pain" and mainly affects young women. the effectiveness of Mulligan technique with or without diclofenac phonophoresis on pain, range of motion and functional disability of knee joint in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome is known little. This study, ethically approved, focused on patients with anterior knee pain referred to the Physical Therapy Department from Lahore General Hospital. After eligibility assessments and consent, participants were randomly assigned to Group A (Experimental) or Group B (Control). Over four weeks, three sessions per week, routine physiotherapy and specific exercises will be administered, with Group A receiving additional Phonophoresis using ultrasound and diclofenac gel. Outcome variables (Numeric Pain Rating Scale, KOOS-PF, Universal Goniometer) will be assessed by a blinded assessor at baseline and study completion.
The aim of this research is to discover an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for lymphocyte focus score in whole slide images of labial minor salivary gland (SG) biopsy samples for diagnosing Sjogren's Syndrome, in order to enhance the precision of pathological interpretation of labial minor SG biopsy samples in patients with suspected Sjogren's syndrome and aid clinicians make an accurate diagnose. A remote AI-assisted pathological interpretation platform for lymphocyte focus score in labial SG will be built for the global based on the research results. The research will propose the AI-assisted pathological interpretation of lymphocyte focus score in labial minor SG biopsy samples in the future guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Sjogren's syndrome. The research will： 1. Develop and debug the AI algorithm for lymphocyte focus score in whole slide images of labial minor SG biopsy samples for diagnosing Sjogren's Syndrome; 2. Internal test of the AI algorithm; 3. Clinical validation of the AI algorithm with blind method in multiple centers; 4）Built a remote AI-assisted pathological interpretation platform for lymphocyte focus score in labial SG for the global and Explore its clinical application.
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to compare the effects between active release technique and hold relax technique in patients with Piriformis syndrome.
This study intends to use magnetic resonance pulmonary function imaging technology to explore imaging markers for early diagnosis of patients with CPFE. Through baseline, 6-month and 12-month follow-up examinations, the changes in magnetic resonance pulmonary function in patients with CPFE and their correlation with disease progression were explored.
The preceding IVORY trial (NCT04241601) has completed. As atherosclerosis and its complications are driven by inflammation the investigators hypothesise that treatment with low-dose IL2 may reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to placebo. In this follow-up study, the investigators aim to collect cardiovascular clinical outcome data for patients who completed the IVORY clinical trial and will look at major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, ischaemic stroke, or unplanned coronary revascularization. In addition, data on adverse events such as all cause death, haemorrhagic stroke, new atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, hospitalisation due to cardiovascular causes (e.g. stable and unstable angina, TIAs, heart failure), amputations and revascularisation due to peripheral vascular disease.
