Effects of Tysabri (BG00002) Over 12 Months on MS Related Fatigue in Participants With RRMS
Relapsing-Remitting Multiple SclerosisFatigueThe primary objective of this trial is to observe the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) related fatigue during treatment with Tysabri as measured by changes in the fatigue scale for motor and cognitive functions (FMSC) over the course of 12 months. The secondary objectives are: To investigate changes in fatigue, capacity for work, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQol), sleepiness, cognitive impairment, physically activity induced exhaustion, speed of walking, status of MS disease progression and amount of walking at different times points after initiation of Tysabri treatment in participants diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Changes in fatigue are measured at 3, 6 and 9 months, whereas changes in capacity for work, HRQoL, sleepiness, cognitive impairment, physical activity induced exhaustion, speed of walking, status of MS disease progression and amount of walking are measured at 6 and 12 months. To investigate correlation between fatigue and cognitive impairment, depression and physically activity induced exhaustion and status of MS disease progression in participants at baseline, 6 and 12 month of treatment with Tysabri and to document any changes in fatigue related medication.

Cognitive Function and Fatigue in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Patients After Chemotherapy
CognitionFatigue1 moreThis is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study to evaluate fatigue and cognitive function in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with chemotherapy, and in patients with the same malignancy, that do not receive chemotherapy. A self-report questionnaire for fatigue (the FACT-F), and validated tests of cognitive function, will be applied at predetermined times before, during and after chemotherapy, to determine the incidence, severity and duration of these symptoms. Comparisons will be made in changes in cognition for individuals, as well as between the chemotherapy and the control group. Mechanisms that might lead to fatigue and/or cognitive decline will be investigated.
Postpartum Fatigue and Pain Versus Nutritional Status, With Epidural Analgesia
Vaginal DeliveryThe objective of this preliminary observational study is to evaluate, in the patient, a correlation between a food habit and nutritional status score of the parturient and a postpartum fatigue (FSS) and pain (ENA) score on day 1, 3 and 7.
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Muscle Fatigue Using Virtual Reality Training
FatigueThe goal of this observational predicted study is to predict muscle fatigue using a specific AI algorithm in healthy vs post Covid-19 infected individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: Can Artificial Intelligence be used as a reliable source of predicting localized muscle fatigue in healthy vs post Covid-19 infected individuals? Participants will be divided into two groups: A healthy group and a post Covid-19 group. Each group will undergo a familiarization process before the start of the exercises. Then, each group will perform squatting exercises guided by the kynpasis virtual reality apparatus. sEMG for the vastus lateralis and rectus femories, chest expansion, and goniometric measurements of the knee will be taken during different reported fatigue levels using the Biopac system. Groups will continue squatting while recording their subjective fatigue levels using the Borg scale. Data will then be run through machine learning processes to produce an AI algorithm capable of predicting isolated muscle fatigue.
Translation of Modified Fatigue Impact Scale in Urdu Language
Traumatic Brain InjuryCross cultural analytical study to translate Modified fatigue impact scale MFIS) in Urdu language. Along with the translated version by evaluating its validity and reliability among the patients of traumatic brain injury. No such study has been previously conducted in Pakistan which translate this scale in Urdu and follows the proper cross- culture adaptation.Condition or disease: Traumatic brain injury. Convenient sampling technique would be used.
Alterations in Gait, Strength, and Power After Ruck Marching
ExerciseFatigueThe purpose of this study is to determine change in injury risk and performance variables in males and females after walking unloaded and carrying a load with two different distributions (high-pack placement and mid-pack placement) to identify differences in injury risk
Effects of Respiratory Muscle Functions on Interstitial Lung Disease: Sleep Quality, Dyspnea, and...
Interstitial Lung DiseaseAlthough there are numerous data demonstrating the impact of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) on respiratory functions, there is a lack of studies investigating the effects of respiratory functions on parameters such as sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue. The primary objective of the study is to examine the influence of changes in respiratory muscle functions in ILD on sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue parameters. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle functions in ILD on parameters such as cough, pain, exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
Role of Interleukin-1 in Postprandial Fatigue - The Cheesecake Study
Postprandial FatigueThe aim of the study is to investigate, if postprandial fatigue symptoms after ingestion of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal are regulated by Interleukin (IL)-1 and can be prevented by inhibition of IL-1 using a single dose injection of a specific IL-1 receptor antagonist.
Clinical Evaluation of QFlu Combo Test
CoughMyalgia5 moreCurrently effective antivials for influenza treatment are two influenza viral neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Resistance to these drugs is reflected by reduced susceptibility of viral neuraminidase to these drugs. The hypothesis is that the signal ratio of two reagents (with or without a single concentration of the drug) correlates the IC50 value, an accurate measurement of drug resistance but impractical for clinical use.
