Filter by:Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is considered the most common oral mucosal lesion, present first in childhood or adolescence. Aphthous ulcers affect up to 25% of the general population, and 3-month recurrence rates are as high as 50%, it is more common in female, also it increases by increasing age and minor aphthous ulcers are 80% of suffered patient. Due to the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and analgesic effects of Thyme honey, and the lack of evidence in the considered population, the present study aimed to assess the effect of honey on the pain relief in patients with minor RAU as a primary objective and to assess the healing effect of natural thyme honey on minor RAU, and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) as a secondary objectives.
People who have suffered a stroke are at high risk of suffering from oropharyngeal dysphagia with long and intensive exercise programmes. Early access to treatment and engaging therapies is very important for recovery. Immersive virtual reality technology presents an innovative treatment that could help patients improve swallowing. The aim of this study is to improve swallowing in stroke patients using two bespoke immersive virtual reality treatment with real-time feedback. The study consisted in a small feasibility study with stroke patients suffering dysphagia (n = 6, aged of 39 to 80 (M=71.17, SD=15.94). Results obtained through interviews with the patients indicated no discomfort reported during the game. All patients reported enjoying the game and feeling engaged and immersive and four out of six patients reported that they would like to use it every day as part of their Speech and Language therapy. The SALT assistant involved in the study stated that the system had the potential to encourage patients to swallow, being more functional than conventional speech therapy. She identified improvements needed for a better functioning of the VR rehabilitation system for Dysphagia. In a future study, wireless headsets will be used, without a laptop, and it will be important to improve the reliability and design of the strain gauge or innovate in the use of a different technology.
This project focuses on the effectiveness of a Chatbot in promoting adherence to home physiotherapy treatment for patients with lumbar musculoskeletal injuries. The use of digital technologies and media are an important option to complement in-person treatment and promote adherence to treatment at home. The research aims to verify whether the use of a Chatbot as a means of communication can produce improvements in patient adherence and clinical results.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of respiratory critical care nurses (RCCN) in improving outcomes for critically ill patients who require admission to the intensive care units (ICUs). The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of the respiratory critical care nurse in improving outcomes for critically ill patients? Participants will consist of critically ill patients who will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio into two groups: the intervention group, who will receive specialized respiratory care from RCCN from the time they arrive in the emergency room until their discharge from the hospital, and the control group, who will receive only routine care.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a condition associated with hypoxemia due to noncardiogenic causes and results in high mortality. However, the epidemiology and treatment strategy for ARDS may have changed significantly due to the accumulation of a large body of knowledge, following the two-year pandemic of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) of which the primary manifestation is ARDS. To improve the quality of ICU care that patients receive after admission to the ICU, a variety of academic societies, including the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, are currently developing evidence-based guidelines and consensus guidelines and statements regarding ABCDEF bundles, nutritional therapy, ICU diary. The ABCDEF bundle, nutritional therapy, and ICU diary have been developed and are being promoted for implementation in hospitals around the world. The implementation of evidence-based ICU care is strongly recommended, especially for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who frequently require ventilators to maintain their lives, because their patient outcomes are worse than those who were admitted to ICU with other causes. However, there is still little evidence on how the quality of ICU care (compliance rate) correlates with patient prognosis and outcomes, and there are currently no clear goals or indicators for the ICU care we should develop. This study aims to investigate the epidemiology and treatments given to the patients and evaluate the implementation of evidence-based ICU care and its association with the outcomes of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome admitted to the ICU. The contents of mechanical ventilation settings, respiratory conditions, and the evidence-based ICU care, such as analgesia, sedation, rehabilitation, and nutrition, given to the patients will be collected in a daily basis. Aim 1: Epidemiology Aim 2: Treatments Aim 3: Evidence-based ICU care Aim 4: ARDS related Post Intensive Care Syndrome
I This clinical trial aims to VIVO AND IN VITRO COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EFFICACY OF ANSA (experimental drug) & CRAN MAX (control drug) SACHET IN UNCOMPLICATED UTI in females. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Hypothesis I ANSA is an effective therapy for uncomplicated UTI treatment and inhibits or kills E.coli and other organisms in vitro and in vivo Null Hypothesis ANSA is not an effective therapy for uncomplicated UTI treatment and couldn't inhibit or kill E.coli and other organisms in vitro and in vivo Hypothesis II Cran Max is an effective therapy for uncomplicated UTIs and inhibits or kills E.coli and other organisms in vitro and in vivo Null Hypothesis Cran Max is not an effective therapy for uncomplicated UTI treatment and couldn't inhibit or kill E.coli and other organisms in vitro and in vivo
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief, nurse-led intervention to support breast cancer survivors who have delayed initiation of hormonal therapy or who have concerns about starting hormonal therapy.
The aim of this study is to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of abatacept combined with JAK inhibitor in the treatment of D2TRA patients
The investigators will perform a long term registry based prospective analysis on incidence of major cardiovascular events or death in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea . Effects of PAP (positive airway pressure) compliance, antihypertensive medication and blood pressure control will be investigated in the study.
Olfactory dysfunction is common among patients with Corona-Virus-Infection-Disease (COVID)-19, and up to 30% of patients may report persistent disorders of smell or taste as a long-term sequelae. This randomized-controlled study has addressed to compare the efficacy of neuro-protective and anti-inflammatory agents palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and Luteolin(Treatment) with control (olfactory training) in a cohort of patients who present persistent smell disorders after resolution from Covid-19 and negative swab for 4 months at least.
