Filter by:This Study is focused on the interaction between resting metabolic rate (RMR), physical activity (PA), and thyroid hormones (TH). TH controls almost all the cell activities of the body so, it is known as one of the major regulatory hormones. This is the reason for individuals who suffer from thyroid disorders show abnormal metabolism. Recently it was suggested that interindividual variations in thyroid hormone levels also influence daily physical activity.
Background: Clinical trials often include patients from large hospitals or university clinics. Information on patients cared for at offices from statutory health insurance-accredited physicians represent evidence gaps. Aims/Objectives: The present study has three aims: First, to systematically describe the patient population of a large group practice for internal medicine. Second, to identify high-risk patients using established risk scores. And third, to include routine imaging data to optimize patient management. Methods/Facility Enrolling Participants: This is a prospective, observational study assessing patients' baseline characteristics, risk evaluation and integrating data from imaging test. The setting of the present study is a large group practice for internal medicine which consists of statutory health insurance-accredited physicians. Study participants will be included during daily routine, real-world clinical care and therefore represent all-comers fulfilling the inclusion criteria: 1. Female or male patients aged above 18 years diagnosed with chronic liver disease, undergo on-site endoscopy, suffer from atherosclerosis, heart failure, are diagnosed with abnormal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, either overt or latent hypo- or hyperthyroidism, or are diagnosed with solitary or multiple thyroid nodules. 2. Routine laboratory results available within the last 3 months. 3. Available imaging data within the last 3 months performed on site. Perspective: The study is designed to evaluate the current situation and quality of health care in defined patient populations in the routine clinical setting of a large-scale public office. These data will provide a profound rationale to identify quality issues and limitations in our performance of guideline-conform treatment in routine patient care.
The purpose of this study to learn more about the use of redifferentiating medications as a standard treatment for radioactive iodine/RAI-refractory thyroid cancer. This study is a registry study.
Thyroidectomy is one of the commonest elective surgeries in surgical practice nowadays. It is associated with wide range of complications, from unnoticed events up to lifelong problems and even life-threatening complications. The most troublesome are bleeding, nerve injury and hypocalcemia. The current study was conducted to report the incidence and predictive factors for perioperative complications, aiming to point out preventive measures.
Back ground & Aims Adult patients suffering from multimorbidity are at high risk of medication non-adherence. It has been well established that self-management support is an effective strategy to enhance medication adherence for patients with chronic conditions. However, little is known about the effect of the medication self-management intervention in Adult patients with multimorbidity. The aim of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led medication self-management intervention in improving medication adherence and health outcomes in adult patients with multimorbidity. Methods This study is a single centre, single-blind, two-arm randomised controlled trial. Adult patients with multi-morbidity will be recruited from NCCCR Qatar. A total of 100 participants will be randomly allocated to receive standard care or standard care plus the medication self-management intervention. The intervention will be delivered by clinical nurse specialists. The 6-week intervention includes three face-to-face education sessions (2st week, 4rd week and 6th week) and two weekly (8th week and 10 week) follow-up phone calls. Participants in the control group continue to receive all respects of standard care offered by healthcare providers, including chronic disease management, drug prescription, referral to hospital specialists, health education and consultations regarding patients' diseases and treatments during centre visits. Outcome The primary outcome is medication adherence as measured by the 8-item Medication Adherence Report Scale. Secondary outcomes include medication self-management capacity (medication knowledge, medication beliefs, and medication self-efficacy), treatment experiences (medication treatment satisfaction and treatment burden). All outcomes will be measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention (7th week), and at 3-month post-intervention.
The research project is an open, parallel-group, single centre, randomized controlled trial that aims to assess the feasibility of measuring iodolipids in thyroid samples of patients during routine thyroid surgery.
Thyroidectomy is one of the most surgeries done by surgeons. Postoperative bleeding is a main complication for this surgery.surgeons usually do homeostasis by traditional diathermy as it is cheep and available in all hospitals and centres. Atlternatinve surgery devices have become popular to conventional hemostasis in thyroid surgery. These devices reduce operative time and post-operative complication .Investigators thought to examine relative efficiency of two alternative energy devices compared to each other in preventing post-operative complication between diathermy and ligasure.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the accuracy of applying three-dimensional ultrasound on thyroid gland patients when determining a gland volume. The method will be compared to conventional b-mode ultrasound where three axis measurements (length, width, and depth) are evaluated in the ellipsoid model. The three dimensional (3D) method is utilizing optical tracking connected to the ultrasound image to form cross-sectional imaging. Patients enrolled in the study are set for complete thyroidectomies enabling a true volume of the gland by water displacement after excision. The aim is to find if this 3D method is more accurate in volume estimation than the ellipsoid model.
The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of thyroid radiofrequency ablation procedure on patients with thyroid-related symptoms using a modified pre-existing scoring system.
The goals of minimally invasive approaches are better cosmetic results with small neck scar, decreasing postoperative pain, and shortening of hospital stay periods without postoperative complications. The concept of surgical invasiveness cannot be limited to the length and site of the skin incision; it must be extended to all structures dissected during the procedure. Conventional thyroidectomy without raising subplatysmal flaps has proven to be effective in reducing postoperative pain and seroma
