|
The research will include 330 women, divided into two groups of 165 participants each (150 breast augmentation participants and 15 reconstruction participants). The Motiva® Sizer exposed group will consist of women who will undergo breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery with the use of Motiva® Sizer during the procedure, and a non-exposed group will consist of women who will undergo breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery without the use of Motiva® Sizer. This study will be conducted in Costa Rica.
|
The main goal is to evaluate the safety and the performance of the Motiva® Sizer. To this end, the results of both groups will be compared in terms of surgical complications, surgeon's, and participant's satisfaction level as well as reoperation rates.
|
After the augmentation or reconstruction surgery, participants will be scheduled for the following follow-up visits, (1) between 3 and 7 postoperative days, (2) between 3 and 6 postoperative weeks, (3) at 3 and (4) 6 postoperative months, and (5, 6 and 7) annually thereafter for a period of three consecutive years. In case any participant has an adverse event due to the procedure, and if required by the physician, an additional visit will be made to assess her, and this information as well as that of the scheduled visits should be recorded in the electronic data collection notebook. conditions: Breast Implant; Complications conditions: Breast Implantation; Methods, Safety and Performance conditions: Mammaplasty conditions: Breast Reconstruction conditions: Breast Augmentation studyType: OBSERVATIONAL observationalModel: COHORT timePerspective: PROSPECTIVE count: 330 type: ESTIMATED name: Motiva Sizer measure: Motiva Sizers Safety (complications) measure: Motiva Sizers Performance (satisfaction) measure: Motiva Sizers Safety (reoperations) sex: FEMALE minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Establishment Labs status: RECRUITING city: Coyol state: Alajuela zip: 20102 country: Costa Rica lat: 10.00126 lon: -84.26124 hasResults: False

|
Severe CKD is defined as a risk of greater than 10% for progressing to RRT \[home hemodialysis (HHD), home peritoneal dialysis (HPD), and transplantation\] within 2 years. There is a need to improve access to CKD self-care counselling and RRT education for patients with severe CKD. Trials of CKD self-care education have achieved therapeutic benefits with moderate to high patient-provider contact. There is high potential for a trial of digital counselling for CKD self-care and RRT education to enhance patient health and quality of life.
|
HYPOTHESES
|
The primary hypothesis is that ODYSSEE-KH versus usual care (UC) will significantly increase the incidence of home RRT, measured by a composite index of HHD, HPD, and preemptive kidney transplant at trial completion (median = 19 months; range: 12 to 27 months).
|
The secondary hypothesis is that ODYSSEE-KH for CKD self-care and RRT education improves Home RRT, RRT preparation, annual hospitalization rate, engagement with CKD self-care resources at months 6 and 12 and trial completion and scores on outcome measures.
|
RECRUITMENT
|
Patients diagnosed with CKD who are 18 years of age or older were recruited from University Health Network (UHN), Sunnybrook Hospital, Scarborough Health Network, and The Ottawa Hospital.
|
DESIGN
|
ODYSSEE-KH is a double-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial that has assessments at baseline, months 6 and 12, and trial completion (median = 19 months; range: 12 to 27 months). This is a single-blind design with research personnel masked.
|
ODYSSEE-KH combines automated digital counselling of CKD self-care with renal replacement therapy (RRT) education. UC enhances the standard of usual care by providing patients with conventional digital CKD education. Over 27 months, patients will be emailed on a weekly basis with a digital link to log on to their respective program using a password-protected, personal account.
|
ANALYSIS
|
Separate GLMs will evaluate if Digital Counselling versus UC is independently associated with outcomes at months 6 and 12 and trial completion (median = 19; range: 12 to 27 months). Dependent variables include the KDQOL-SF, SF-36, EUROIA, PHQ-9, GAD-7, MIDLS, ESSI, PWB, BMPN, AI, as well as a modified SEMCD-6. Multivariable models will adjust for baseline assessments of each outcome and potential baseline covariates (noted above). In all GLMs, significant interactions will be followed by subgroup analyses with Bonferroni post hoc tests. conditions: Chronic Kidney Diseases studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE masking: DOUBLE whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR count: 344 type: ESTIMATED name: ODYSSEE-KH measure: Incidence of home RRT measure: Improvement of Home RRT measure: Improvement of RRT preparation with planned dialysis access measure: Incidence of annual hospitalization rate measure: Engagement with RRT education and CKD self-care counselling resources measure: Self-reported engagement in activities for living well measure: Self-reported assessment for health-related quality of life due to kidney disease measure: Self-reported assessment of people's aspirations and goals measure: Self-reported measure of overall health (e.g. pain, mental health, physical, role and social functioning) measure: Self-reported depression measure: Self-reported perceived social support measure: Self-reported psychological wellbeing measure: Self-reported anxiety measure: Self-reported feeling of value to self and others measure: Self-reported measure of psychological wellbeing and happiness measure: Self-reported measure of overall life experience measure: Self-reported measure of well-being measure: Self-reported readiness for change (motivation) measure: Self-reported confidence in doing life activities sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: University Health Network status: RECRUITING city: Toronto state: Ontario zip: M2N 7A2 country: Canada name: Robert P Nolan, PhD role: CONTACT phone: (416) 340-4800 phoneExt: 6400 email: rob.nolan@uhnresearch.ca name: Karly Gunson, HBA, BHSc role: CONTACT phone: (416) 340-4800 phoneExt: 6400 email: karly.gunson2@uhn.ca lat: 43.70011 lon: -79.4163 hasResults: False

When this system is faulty, these accumulate, there is local inflammation, and progressive death of the cells. This occurs in neurological diseases including Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's. Inflammation and progressive death of the cells are also present in another neurological disorder, named Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
|
Doctors think that GS dysfunction plays a role in MS too. In this research therefore, the aim is to study whether it drives inflammation, and disease progression in MS patients.
|
The researchers have developed a new way to find signs of alteration of the GS using a scan named Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and will use it in a pilot study on patients with a condition named Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS), which often represents the very beginning of MS. It would therefore be demonstrated that the GS is a new mechanism of disease in CIS, which may associate with the symptoms, or the alterations in the levels of some substances in the blood suggestive of brain cells damage.

Despite this, it remains an underappreciated health problem, with the first effective RSV vaccines only approved by the FDA in May 2023 and unlikely to be widely available for some time. Although RSV infection is most frequent in young children, most deaths occur in older adults, particularly in those with underlying heart and lung disease. This is believed to be due in part to the ageing immune system's reduced ability to protect against infection and symptomatic disease.
|
However, little is known about the way human immune responses to RSV infection in older individuals differ from those of younger people. Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying immunity and potential impairments in these higher-risk people are therefore necessary. This project aims to study the factors that influence whether or not older people develop symptomatic RSV disease in healthy older volunteers after being given an RSV-induced common cold. Samples will be taken from the blood and nose in order to identify changes in the immune system associated with susceptibility or protection in older adults. Participants will be carefully screened to ensure there are no underlying health problems that might make them more at risk of severe disease and will be monitored closely throughout the course of infection. It is anticipated that differences in immune markers in the nose and/or blood of healthy older people will predict whether or not such individuals become infected or develop symptoms. By analysing the networks of genes that are switched on and off, the aim is to identify the pathways in the immune system responsible for these differences, to ultimately develop improved diagnostic tests, vaccines and treatments. conditions: Respiratory Tract Infections studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: NA interventionModel: SINGLE_GROUP primaryPurpose: BASIC_SCIENCE masking: NONE count: 20 type: ESTIMATED name: RSV A Memphis 37 measure: Number of solicited and unsolicited adverse events (AEs) measure: Infection rate measure: Nasal Viral Load measure: Antibody levels by serum neutralisation assay measure: Antibody levels by ELISA sex: ALL minimumAge: 65 Years maximumAge: 75 Years stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Imperial College London city: London zip: W12 0NN country: United Kingdom name: Polly Fox role: CONTACT email: polly.fox@imperial.ac.uk name: Christopher Chiu role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR lat: 51.50853 lon: -0.12574 hasResults: False

Individual IPL sites for stimulation will be identified through baseline, pre-TMS functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans. Patient-specific IPL subregions showing positive functional connectivity with the anterior insula and falling within the patient-specific frontoparietal control network will be used as individualized target sites for TMS stimulation. Patients will be randomized to receive 24 sessions of active versus sham iTBS to patient-specific IPL targets (6 sessions/day, 4 days, 43,200 pulses total). Post-iTBS resting-state and task-based fMRI scans will be acquired 3 days after the final day of iTBS administration (Day 4) following identical procedures as baseline. Effects of iTBS-TMS on ER will be evaluated by comparing pre-TMS versus post-TMS functional connectivity and behavior during performance on ER tasks. conditions: Bipolar Disorder studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL interventionModelDescription: Randomized allocation primaryPurpose: TREATMENT masking: TRIPLE maskingDescription: We will use an active/placebo TMS coil.
