Filter by:A randomized controlled clinical trial in two groups of supplementation with HMB and glutamine. Each group consist in 25 patients with bloody areas, one group will receive and intervention with HMB and Glutamine and the other will receive a placebo with calcium caseinate.
The aim of work is to detect the patterns and the causes of ACL injury among Egyptian population and to identify its risk factors. Identify the male to female ratio of injuries in our community. To document the patterns and frequencies of associated injuries
The aim is to evaluate the study design, procedure and measurements in a randomised controlled pilot study.
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of effect of allopurinol or febuxostat to prevent contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI)
Muscle injuries are currently particularly frequent among people who participate in sports. The diagnosis is easily made with an ultrasound study and Shear Wave Elastography.
Objective of this protocol will be to evaluate the parameters related to the function of the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory system, through a rehabilitation and training program for people with acquired central nervous system and multiple sclerosis. The study will consist of volunteers with acquired CNS lesions and multiple sclerosis of both sexes, between 18 and 85 years old, and who wander with or without aid devices, randomly divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (cardiopulmonary treatment), Group 2 (cardiopulmonary treatment and transcranial photobiomodulation application) and Group 3 (cardiopulmonary treatment and placebo laser). All groups will receive aerobic training on a treadmill (Moviment®) with the aid of a suspension equipment (BrainMov® Physical Activity Station). The transcranial photobiomodulation (laser diode, λ = 810 nm, beam area 0.028 cm², power of 100 mW, power density of 3.5 mW / cm², energy of 3 Joules / point and energy density of 107.1 J / cm2) will be applied on the skin / scalp and the International System 10-20 at points F7, F8 and AFz will be used as reference for irradiation. Muscular activation, heart rate variability, lung volumes and capacities, fatigability, exercise tolerance, cognition and quality of life will be evaluated before, during, at the end and after two months of rehabilitation. The treatment proposed in this study, using transcranial photobiomodulation, is expected to improve muscle, sensory, cardiorespiratory, cognitive functions and to interfere positively in the quality of life of the volunteers.
This is a randomized study to compare the safety and efficacy of a single dose of up to 2 grams of cefazolin administered using a new drug delivery method called Ultrasonic Drug Delivery (UDD), combined with standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy, oral or IV, compared to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy alone, in treating chronic wounds with skin and soft tissue infection, containing gram-positive pathogens, in lower extremities.
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is defined as the pressure inside the skull, and therefore, the pressure inside the brain tissue and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The relationship between CSF and intracranial blood volumes is described by the Monroe Kellie doctrine; because the brain is incompressible, when the skull is intact, the sum of the volumes of brain, CSF, and intracranial blood is constant.
We will investigate the use of TR, based on advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions, taking into account that the supervision of rehabilitation at home will be enriched with the counselling and vital parameters monitoring. The aim of the study is to evaluate that TR is at least non-inferior in comparison with the same amount of usual territorial rehabilitative physical treatments (UTRT), taking into account patients' functional recovery, psychological well-being, caregiver burden, and healthcare costs. The enrolled patients will be balanced for pathology and randomized in two groups, performing TR (G1) or standard rehabilitation training (G2), respectively, according to a pc-generated random assignment.TR will be delivered by means of an advanced video-conferencing system, whereas the patient will be provided with low-cost monitoring devices, able to collect data about his/her health status and QoL. In both the groups each treatment (either cognitive or motor, or both as per patient functional status) will last about one hour a day, five days/week, for 12 weeks. Two structured telephone interviews will be administered to the patients (when possible) and/or their caregivers, and to all the healthcare professionals involved in the patient management, one week after the beginning and at the end of the TR.
The Supervisory Neglect, Non-Accidental Trauma, Brief Intervention, and Treatment Referral (SunBrite) protocol is a family-empowered, risk mitigation strategy that targets families with young children who present to the ED with intracranial trauma. Based on the widely utilized screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) protocol, SunBrite has 3 core components: screening, brief motivational interview, and referral for treatment. PCH will: 1) engage community partnerships to support SunBrite development; 2) utilize participatory action research approach for design, implementation, process evaluation, and dissemination of the pilot program; and 3) evaluate intervention implementation and pilot outcomes. Over a 2-year period, this study will encompass a pilot intervention and implementation assessment and a randomized trial to evaluate outcomes. Implementation of SunBrite will yield rigorous scientific evidence for a sustainable, evidenced-based, widely-needed non-accidental (NAT) screening and intervention for families with young children.
