A rTMS and Virtual Reality Based Cognitive Rehabilitation Program for MCI
This clinical trial is being conducted to see if brain stimulation and brain training together improves cognitive functioning and mood in older adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Brain stimulation will be done using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Brain training will be done using immersive virtual reality cognitive …
Preoperative Blood Volume Optimization Using Transthoracic Echocardiography
Immediately following the induction of general anesthesia, arterial hypotension may occur with an incidence of about 40% in patients classified as ASA 3 or 4. Perioperative arterial hypotension is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. The increased mortality associated with perioperative arterial hypotension has been reported up to 30 …
Evaluation of a Novel Technology to Support Tailored Health Behavior Counseling in Rural Primary Care Clinics
This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 & 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show …
The Analgesic Effect of Scalp Nerve Block Using Bupivacaine Liposomes for Postoperative Pain Relief After Craniotomy
After undergoing craniotomy, 60% to 84% of neurosurgery patients experience moderate to severe acute pain, primarily in the first 48 hours. This pain is mostly superficial, affecting the muscles and soft tissues around the skull. Poor pain management can lead to complications such as restlessness, nausea, hypertension, increased intracranial pressure, …
The Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Oxidative DNA Damage and Inflammation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
The objective of this study was to determine the levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an indicator of oxidative stress, and to demonstrate oxidative DNA damage in cardiac rehabilitation treatment in patients with coronary artery disease. Additionally, proinflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels were measured to evaluate the significance of cardiac …
Remote Ischaemic Conditioning in the Older Person and Effects on Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation
Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) is the process of inducing short periods of ischaemia in a limb with the aim of improving vascular health systemically. Recent findings have demonsatrated efficacy in a variety of clinical settings. However, the ideal protocol of RIC [dose] is unknown. Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation (dCA) has been …
Neural Mechanisms of Spatial Representations Beyond the Self
Spatial navigation is a fundamental human behavior, and deficits in navigational functions are among the hallmark symptoms of severe neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Understanding how the human brain processes and encodes spatial information is thus of critical importance for the development of therapies for affected patients. Previous studies …
Implementation of a Psychoeducational Intervention in New Mothers
The goal of this clinical trial is to implement and examine the clinical effectiveness in a randomized study of the Catalan and Spanish versions of the culturally adapted "What Were We Thinking (WWWT)" psychoeducational intervention in primary care services, with the aim of preventing and reducing the prevalence of postpartum …
Shelf Acetabuloplasty With 3D Printed Implants as a New Treatment for Symptomatic Adult Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a common orthopedic condition, defined as an abnormality in the shape, size and orientation of the femoral head, acetabulum or both. The most frequent presentation of hip dysplasia is the maldevelopment of the acetabulum, resulting in insufficient superior coverage of the femoral head, defined as a lateral …
Investigating the Effects of Calorie Information and Serving Size of Alcohol Products on Alcohol Consumption.
The present study aims to investigate whether alcohol consumption is reduced when participants are shown calorie information of alcohol products, compared with when calorie information is absent. We also wish to see whether alcohol consumption levels are reduced when changing the serving sizes available to participants.
