NCT05241730
Substrate metabolism during exercise can be influenced by various nutritional regimes. The effectiveness of the different nutritional regimes, which differ in their carbohydrate content, will be investigated not only by functional tests but also the measurement of the mechanistic processes in the muscle will be explored. Magnetic resonance (MR), better known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has been widely used in clinical practice as a non-invasive imaging technique. Importantly, in addition to producing anatomical images, an MR scanner also offers the possibility to measure the concentrations of a number of metabolic products. This is done through a technique known as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This research project asks the following questions: * Can a diet containing carbohydrates with a low glycemic index achieve the same adaptations in basic endurance/fat metabolism as a high fat, low carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet? * Does a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, compared with a high-carbohydrate diet, prevent improvements in performance in the submaximal and maximal range? * What is the effect of diets with different carbohydrate content and variable glycemic index on endurance performance in a half marathon and a time trial? * How do the diets with different carbohydrate content and variable glycaemic index affect the energy and glycogen stores in the muscles? In active recreational athletes, the objectives are: (1) to investigate the effects of different diets with variable carbohydrate content and glycaemic index on substrate metabolism, (2) to determine the effects of the different diets on energy stores using multinuclear dynamic magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and (3) to measure the effects of the different diets on endurance performance.

NCT05425485
Based on recent guidelines, the investigators have developed a parallel (patient and physician) educational web-based tool. To prove its effectiveness, the investigators have designed a cluster clinical trial of a 6-month duration in which 15 centres will be randomised to receive access and instruction on the strategy or to continue standard care. The trial endpoint is adherence at the patient level, for which each centre will recruit 15 consecutive patients and measure adherence (medication, physical activity, Mediterranean diet) and disease activity as of baseline and 6 months after.

NCT05964725
This clinical study is prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trail, which entitled transcranial electrical stimulation for the treatment of acute tinnitus approved by Sun Yat-sen University, and intends to recruit 86 patients with sudden deafness and tinnitus. For acute subjective tinnitus, a common otological disease, the study gave the experimental group patients received tDCS with electrodes positioned over the left temporal cortex for 5 days. To assess the efficacy of conventional medical therapy and tDCS by comparing changes in anterior and posterior tinnitus-related subjective scale scores, such as THI, VAS, BAI, BDI, PSQI, and hearing recovery, in patients who received tDCS, to determine whether tDCS is effective in improving acute tinnitus, and whether it is superior to conventional tinnitus treatment. In addition, the study will continue to follow patients for 1 month,3 months, and 6 months after the end of treatment to observe the long-term sustained efficacy of tDCS. This clinical trail will also evaluate tDCS from the perspective of compliance and safety, and explore the factors affecting the efficacy of this therapy.
NCT06146725
There are no guidelines or prospective studies defining the optimal surgical treatment for gliomas of older patients (≥70 years) or those with limited functioning performance at presentation (KPS ≤70). Therefore, the decision between resection and biopsy is varied, amongst neurosurgeons internationally and at times even within an instiutition. This study aims to compare the effects of maximal tumor resection versus tissue biopsy on survival, functional, neurological, and quality of life outcomes in these patient subgroups. Furthermore, it evaluates which modality would maximize the potential to undergo adjuvant treatment. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective, 2-arm cohort study of observational nature. Consecutive HGG patients will be treated with resection or biopsy at a 3:1 ratio. Primary endpoints are: 1) overall survival (OS) and 2) proportion of patients that have received adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints are 1) proportion of patients with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) deterioration at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery 2) progression-free survival (PFS); 3) quality of life at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery and 4) frequency and severity of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is 4 years, follow-up is 1 year.

NCT04716400
"Stop sexual harassment" is a school based intervention tailored to reduce sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils in secondary school. The first aim of this study is to test to what extent "Stop sexual harassment" reduces sexual harassment and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender expression (gendered harassment) among 8th to 10th grade pupils in secondary school. The second aim of the study is to test to what extent the intervention increases teachers' responses to sexual- and gendered harassment among pupils. The intervention consists of eight lessons which address the prevention of sexual- and gendered harassment. METHOD: A minimum 32 schools with at least 3840 pupils will participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Participating schools will be randomly assigned to intervention schools and control schools. At the intervention schools, teachers will be introduced to "Stop sexual harassment" through a digital course which will provide them with a manual containing eight lessons to be held for the pupils. At the control schools there will not be any intervention. The effects of the intervention on pupils will be determined by assessing their experiences with sexual and gendered harassment, and internalized and externalized problems prior to the intervention (T1), shortly after the intervention (T2) and six moths after the intervention (T3). The effects of the intervention on teachers will be determined by assessing the teachers' experiences of responding to sexual and gendered harassment among pupils. HYPOTHESIS: It is expected that the intervention "Stop sexual harassment" will lead to reduced sexual and gendered harassment perpetration and victimization, and less internalized and externalized problems among the pupils in secondary school, and that teachers will more frequently take action when sexual- and gendered harassment is encountered among the pupils.
