Filter by:Fertility is of great importance to young women with cancer. Concerns about the ability to become pregnant after cancer treatment may influence treatment decisions and fertility decision-making is challenging. Despite these challenges, there is a lack of fertility decision support tools. Our team developed the Begin Exploring Fertility Options, Risks and Expectations (BEFORE) decision aid for young breast cancer patients in Canada. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the BEFORE decision aid in hospital settings through a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial.
Attempting an effective treatment is essential to the physiotherapist to understand how his conducts affect body tissues and the whole system, besides understand properly how and when therapeutic modalities could be use in the rehabilitation process. There are several research articles pointing the use of heat as an efficient agent to accelerate tissue healing. Clarifying the remaining doubts related to therapeutic modalities use can be beneficial for functional rehabilitation. In physiotherapy, shortwave diathermy is one of the standards treatments for heat inducement. The capacitance shortwave technique consists in the use of two pad electrodes that can be positioned in three different arrangements: coplanar (placed side by side on the same aspect of the part to be treated), contraplanar (placed over opposite aspects of the body part to be treated) and longitudinal (one electrode is placed at each end of the limb in opposite aspects of the body par to be treated). There is no evidence of which arrangement is the most efficient. Besides shortwave diathermy being a very established therapeutic modality, the use of this recourse in the most effective way rely on the properly answer of the remaining questions related to its application. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze which one of the capacitance shortwave technique is the most efficient in inducing and maintaining heat. Given the high-frequency waves field orientation could be suggested that the coplanar arrangement will lead to bigger heat inducement, and will maintain it for longer time.
The current central dogma of long-term cognitive impairment after intensive care admission suggests an underlying neuroinflammatory dysregulation affecting neuronal function. This pathological process has not been fully elucidated and there has been little research into its genetic associations. Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes cognitive impairment through a process of abnormal beta amyloid deposition and neuronal death through localised activation of the innate immune system. It is the most prevalent disease affecting cognition. The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is implicated in the progression of late-onset Alzheimer's disease and is a recognised neuroinflammatory modulator. It is possible that young individuals exposed to high levels of inflammation may experience an acceleration of this process. This study sets out to look for an association between APOE-∈4 possession and poor cognitive outcome after a major burn injury and intensive care admission.
This study aims to evaluate an intervention using the Toolkit "Children - what does it involve?" and the "Real-Care-Baby" (RCB) simulator among students with intellectual disability (ID), using a cluster randomized trial design with waiting-list control group.
Microsatellite instability is more common in colorectal cancer ( CRC) young patient which is associated with good prognosis and is considered as a predictor for good response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Counting of ( cluster of differentiation) CD 133 +ve cells ,as a marker for enrichment with colorectal cancer stem cells ,is considered as a prognostic marker for poor survival and predictor for radio-resistance. Correlation between microsatellite status ( MS) and CD133 count has not yet studied especially in young patients with rectosigmoid cancer. So the investigators hypothesize that there is correlation between microsatellite status, CD133+ve cells count , occurrence of CRC in young patients and resistance to standard treatment regimen. Improvement of response to treatment and choice of the best regime to avoid non beneficial treatment modality are the goal of this study.
"Clinicians from the Maudsley (IoP, London, UK) have specifically tailored a cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for treating Anorexia Nervosa (AN). It is an intensive manualised training cognitive therapy which addresses the difficulties in flexibility and holistic processing that have been incriminated in AN. CRT has been found to improve AN's neuropsychological functioning and short term outcome. To our knowledge, no French speaking country has tested its effectiveness. Moreover, the question whether it is efficient for both anorexic restrictive and anorexic binge-purging patients remains unanswered. The aim of the present study is to determine if CRT in AN adolescents and young adults has a favourable impact on cognitive functioning and clinical status. We will also explore whether the impact of CRT is similar in both anorexic restrictive and binge-purging subtypes. There will also be an Historical Control Group of patients, sixty, who received traditional medical interventions in a specialized inpatient unit for eating disorders (i.e., EVHAN study)."
Background: With the improvement of the prognosis for HIV-infected infants, thanks to the availability of antiretroviral therapies, young adults infected with HIV since birth are becoming an emerging group among the HIV-infected population. Morbidity, mortality and immunovirological evolution in these young adults need to be studied in a large population and compared to patients infected with HIV later in adulthood or to the general population in terms of mortality. Moreover, the study of accelerated or premature ageing, linked to HIV and/or antiretroviral therapy, is particularly interesting in this population. Objectives: To study the transition to adulthood and the further evolution of HIV-1 or -2 perinatally infected young adults: 1) To study the teenager to adult transition in terms of clinical and immunovirological status, schooling and professional integration, sexuality and reproductive life, transition from paediatrics to adult departments; 2) To study prognosis, morbidity and mortality according to age, infection stage at the time of antiretroviral initiation and therapeutic history; 3) To study the incidence and expression of adverse events and the potential link to antiretroviral therapies; 4) To study the markers of a potential premature ageing, from the metabolic, cardiovascular and immunological points of view.
