The Effects of Using Augmented Reality (AR) Simulation System to Train Foreign Care Workers.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of augmented reality (AR) simulation training intervention of foreign care workers on the oral function of older people. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG) and control group(CG), respectively. The EG will receive augmented reality (AR) simulation …
TEE and Dysphagia in Lung Transplantation
The primary outcome of this study is dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) on postoperative speech and swallow evaluation following lung transplantation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (creates pictures of the heart from inside the participants body) is routinely performed for all lung transplantations at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and it is …
Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery
The purpose of this research project is to investigate the incidence of impaired swallowing (dysphagia) after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) and to study the long-term effect of dysphagia on nutritional status 12 ± 3 months later. Furthermore, to investigate the effect of a new rehabilitation method for dysphagia among …
Clinical Efficacy and Mechanism of tDCS for Dysphagia in PD
This study aims to verify transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) efficacy for Parkinson's disease (PD)-related dysphagia and its mechanism. Subjects are randomly split into two groups: control (sham tDCS + conventional dysphagia treatment) and experimental (real tDCS + conventional treatment). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, after the completion of intervention, …
The Esophageal String Test as a Diagnostic Screening Tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Among Africans With Dysphagia in Mali and the United States
Background Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease that causes inflammation in the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that moves food from the mouth to the stomach. Diagnosing EoE currently requires a specialized tool called an endoscope. The esophageal string test (EST) is another test; the EST collects fluid from …
The Effects of Chin Tuck Against Resistance Exercise on Acute Stroke Patients With Dysphagia
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chin tuck against resistance exercise on swallowing function, depression, and quality of life in acute stroke patients with dysphagia.
Corticosteroids for Post-Extubation Dysphagia
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized trial of a short course of intravenous corticosteroids for Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors with Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) documented laryngeal edema. Study was leveraged using the existing R01 grant infrastructure COMIRB # 21-3873, study design, and research methods. Patients for the study …
Intraoperative Imaging of Gastrointestinal Malignancies Using Pafolacianine (CYTALUX™)
This is an open-label study in adults to determine feasibility of using CYTALUX™ (pafolacianine) injection with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging for detecting any type adenocarcinoma (gastric, esophageal and appendiceal).
Clinical Application of PET Imaging Targeting CLDN18.2 in Malignant Tumors
The project aims to perform integrated PET/MR or PET/CT imaging in patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspected gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, or other malignant tumors with high Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) expression, as well as healthy volunteers. This study utilizes a CLDN18.2-specific PET imaging probe (e.g., \[\^68Ga\]Ga-labeled humanized antibody fragment) …
Folfox+Irinotecan+Chemort In Esophageal Cancer
In this research study, is studying how Liposomal Irinotecan in combination with the standard of care interventions FOLFOX, carboplatin paclitaxel, and radiation therapy affect gastroesophageal junction or esophagogastric cancer This research study involves the following study intervention: Liposomal irinotecan
