NCT07408492
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered research training course can improve nursing students' research skills, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and readiness to use AI in research and education. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does AI-powered research training improve nursing students' understanding of research methods? Does this training improve nursing students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence? Does the course increase nursing students' readiness and confidence to use artificial intelligence in research-related activities? Researchers will compare nursing students who take an AI-powered research training course with students who receive usual education without AI-based training. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the AI-powered research training group or the usual education group Complete online questionnaires about research skills, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and readiness to use AI Attend assessments at three time points: before the course, immediately after the course, and three months later The AI-powered research training course includes structured sessions on research methods and the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools for literature review, research design, data analysis support, and academic writing. The results of this study may help improve research education and support the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence in nursing education and research.

Studies show that sleep apnea increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and is associated with obesity. However, it is unclear how sleep apnea affects fat tissue. Studies have shown that fat tissue is likely involved in developing cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to see how sleep apnea changes fat tissue.
NCT05353283
Despite advances in HIV prevention, the HIV incidence among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) is increasing, threatening to derail achievement of the United States End the HIV Epidemic goals. Although, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective HIV prevention method, adherence was sufficiently low to comprise efficacy among a high proportion of YMSM in multiple clinical trials and demonstration projects. In this study, the investigators will leverage a novel urine point-of-care drug-level test for PrEP adherence, to both enhance and target motivational-interviewing-based adherence counseling among YMSM, with the goal of preventing HIV infections among this critically at-risk group.
NCT05412381
The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injection on the short-term resolution of post-injury inflammation (biomarkers) and improvement in joint function in patients with acute ACL injury. This RCT has been powered based on the questionnaire KOOS Jr. but it is considered a 'pilot study' in terms of the lab analysis proposed.
NCT07407491
Does intraductal administration of antibiotics during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), in addition to standard systemic antibiotic therapy, improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute cholangitis compared with standard systemic antibiotic therapy alone?
NCT07405658
The goal of this observational study is to develop an AI-based early warning system for Kawasaki Disease (KD) using chest X-rays (CXR) in children diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Can AI modeling of CXR features help identify high-risk KD patients earlier than current diagnostic methods? 2. Can the AI system predict the optimal IVIG treatment window and coronary artery risks in KD patients? Participants will: Provide retrospective data on chest X-rays and clinical data (CRP, coronary ultrasound, etc.) Allow analysis of CXR features using deep learning models to extract relevant patterns Have their data incorporated into a federated learning model to ensure privacy and data security
NCT05653804
To determine the impact of telecare on continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients follow up by home care provider (HCP)
NCT05937854
The investigators will study whether the drug tadalafil improves shortness of breath in 126 Veterans with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and high blood pressure in the lungs. The investigators will also assess whether tadalafil improves quality of life, home daily physical activity, exercise endurance, the frequency of acute flares of COPD, blood pressure in the lungs, and lung function. Veterans who enroll in the trial will be allocated by chance to either active tadalafil or an inactive identical capsule (placebo). Neither the Veteran nor the investigator will know whether the Veteran is taking tadalafil or placebo. Veterans will be followed closely in clinic or by telephone at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months, with attention to side effects and safety. At 1,3, and 6 months the investigators will repeat the questionnaires and testing of blood pressures in the lung and lung function. The investigators anticipate that the results of this study will determine whether tadalafil improves shortness of breath when added to usual medications for COPD.
NCT06050811
The community of microbes living in the gut is called the 'gut microbiome'. Changing this could be an exciting new way of treating people living with ulcerative colitis (UC). UC is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. It affects 4 in every 1000 people in the UK. UC causes severe episodes of inflammation leading to bloody diarrhoea. The gut microbes of people living with UC are different to those in healthy people. This may be part of the reason people with UC have a more inflamed gut. Prebiotics are types of fibre in the diet which help feed the positive microbes in the colon. Eating them can change the make-up and activity of the bugs which live in our gut in a good way. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a type of prebiotic called a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) on the symptoms of patients with UC. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can a prebiotic improve symptoms for patients living with UC? * Can a prebiotic improve the gut microbiota of people living with UC, and improve markers of inflammation, metabolism and immune function? Patients will take a sachet containing either the prebiotic or a placebo for four weeks, then swap to the other sachet. The trial will be double-blind and randomised. This 'crossover' design means patients act as their own control, which is important in gut microbiology studies. The prebiotic's effect on patient symptoms, metabolism and immune system will be measured. The investigators plan to recruit 44 participants over 18 months. Their urine, blood and stool will be tested. This project will be the first 'bench to bedside' study into the use of prebiotics in IBD. The treatment in this project is rooted in gut model studies. Different prebiotics were tested in the lab to determine which was the best to use for the trial. This 'lab first' approach is a first of its kind.
NCT06954792
TTVR-AHI is a multicenter, retrospective registry including heart failure patients displaying a severe and symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR), deemed non-eligible to cardiac surgery and therefore treated with transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) devices. This substudy of the main registry will focus on those with post-procedural acute hemodynamic instability (AHI).
NCT06990087
There is no approved standard treatment für progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The sponsor of the study is developing a new treatment. For this reason, the investigational medicinal product (IMP) called 'human allogenic HPyV-2-specific T cells' is to be tested in this study. The sponsor wants to find out whether the IMP is safe, influences the neurological status and improves the quality of the life of patients . It is to be investigated whether the IMP can be used to treat the disease and whether it could have an advantage over the standard therapy in terms of survival rate.
NCT07245394
The SHIFT-IBD Study is being conducted at multiple medical centers across Canada to evaluate how well guselkumab (Tremfya) works for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who haven't responded well enough to ustekinumab. Patients will begin guselkumab based on their doctor's decision. If eligible, they may be invited to participate in the study, which involves monitoring symptoms, test results, and overall health over the course of one year. Guselkumab will be given according to local medical guidelines. Doctors can adjust the treatment as needed, just like in routine care. Researchers believe that switching to guselkumab may be as effective as other advanced treatments. For those who saw some improvement on ustekinumab but not enough, guselkumab may offer better symptom control-without worsening results on medical tests like endoscopy. The goal is to explore better treatment options for people whose IBD has not been well controlled with current therapies.
NCT07404969
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether telomere profiling and other biological aging hallmarks can help identify underlying mechanisms of persistent infertility in women with post-treatment unexplained infertility. The study also evaluates whether a personalized integrative treatment guided by these biomarkers can improve reproductive outcomes. The study includes women aged 25 to 42 years who continue to experience infertility despite appropriate management of identifiable reproductive conditions and repeated attempts with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Can telomere and biological aging hallmarks profiling identify a biological aging phenotype associated with infertility? * Can an integrative treatment guided by these profiles improve clinical pregnancy outcomes? Participants will: * Undergo a baseline reproductive evaluation and blood-based assessment of telomeres and aging hallmarks. * Receive an integrative approach combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), targeted nutritional support, and standard fertility care. * Proceed with natural conception attempts or standard assisted reproductive technologies following the preconception phase. * Participants will be followed to assess pregnancy outcomes and changes in biological aging hallmarks.
NCT05992532
The study of splenomegaly, and the follow-up of splenectomized patients, is one of the causes of referral of these patients to pediatric gastroenterology and oncohematology clinics, and adult internal medicine and hematology. The study and management of splenomegaly is well described among the different medical specialties to which these patients arrive. After the application of the different algorithms and the different studies that are carried out, these splenomegaly are identified as being of hepatic, infectious, inflammatory, congestive, hematological origin and primary causes. Despite these studies of splenomegaly, approximately 10-15% of these patients still remain undiagnosed. Several studies have suggested that there is an increased frequency of MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) and/or multiple myeloma (MM) among Gaucher patients. Regarding ASMD (Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency), few studies have been published but it seems the 21% of patient with ASMD has MGUS and 15% ASMD patients have MGUS. Moreover, patients with MGUS and Gaucher disease (GD) are at increased risk of developing MM. The objective of the present study is to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of these unknown splenomegalys, or unknown splenomegaly patients with MGUS or multiple myeoloma who remain in consultations, using the usual diagnostic clinical procedures of unknown splenomegaly and unknown splenectomy patients, where we include the extraction of a blood sample for dry drop test (DBS), where the determination of the enzymatic/genetic activity will be carried out for Gaucher disease (GD) and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) , analysis of LisoGl1 and LisoSM.
NCT07089420
This study is evaluating the levels of calprotectin, a protein found in stool, in healthy adults. Calprotectin is a marker of inflammation in the intestines and can help doctors tell the difference between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and non-inflammatory conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In this study, healthy volunteers aged 22 and older will collect a stool sample at home using a simple kit and mail it to the study site. The samples will be tested using a new laboratory method called the ALPCO Calprotectin CLIA assay. The goal is to confirm what level of calprotectin is considered "normal" in people without intestinal disease. Participation involves just one stool sample, and there are no medical procedures. Volunteers will be compensated for their time. The study will help improve how doctors interpret calprotectin test results in clinical settings.
NCT07130136
The goal of this interventional study is to confirm the safety and performance of the latest generation Osia System and to examine its benefits compared to the Baha Connect System in adults with mixed or conductive hearing loss who have a pre-existing Baha implant and Abutment (BIA300) and are transitioning to the Osia System. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is the safety and performance of the Osia System confirmed by study findings? * What are the benefits of the Osia System compared to the Baha Connect System? Participants will: * Undergo speech performance testing in both quiet and noisy environments * Provide ratings for various questionnaires
NCT07206121
This study aims to assess the safety and clinical accuracy of the SIRA-1000, SIRA® RFA Electrosurgical Device in ablating margins post-lumpectomy in patients undergoing breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Radiofrequency ablation, or RFA, uses radio waves to create heat, that in turn, causes deliberate controlled damage to the tissue surrounding where the tumor was located. You may hear your doctor refer to this as the 'margins'. Your doctor is using this treatment to help destroy remaining cancer cells in the margins around the site of the lump.
NCT07397325
Clinical Study of DA-020 as a Treatment for Chemotherapy Induced Alopecia
NCT07404046
Aim: Comparison of tendon to bone ingrowth in bone tunnels and intra-articular remodeling of the graft after anterior cruciate ligament surgery with a muscle-tendon graft and those with a tendon graft. Subjects and methods: It is a single-blind prospective randomized study that would include at least 40 patients with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Patients would be randomly divided into two groups of minimally 20 patients each. Patients in the first study group would undergo ACL reconstruction with a muscle-tendon graft, while patients in the control group would be treated with the standard method of ACL reconstruction with a tendon graft. Expected contribution to the field: The assumption is that the obtained results could enable a better understanding of the contribution of remaining muscle fibers on the tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction operations to the tendon to bone ingrowth and intra-articular remodeling of the graft of operated patients.
NCT01473784
