Neurocognitive Function in Snoring Children
Lung DiseasesSleep Apnea Syndromes1 moreTo assess associations between behavioral/neuropsychological measures and various measures of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and to determine the prevalence of SDB in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Pranayama Practice on the Autonomic Nervous System
Pranayama Effect on Autonomic Nervous SystemRespiration Variability Effect on Nervous SystemThe proposed study design will be a randomized, cross-over trial testing different pranayama breathing interventions. Participants (N=40) will perform each of the following five interventions in a randomly assigned order: (1) internal-paced pranayama intervention (Sheetali/Sheetkari for 10 minutes each) (2) internal-paced deep breathing control (3) external-paced pranayama intervention at a rate of 6 bpm (4) external-paced deep breathing at a rate of 6 bpm (5) sitting quietly with no external instruction.

Neonatal HyperbilirubinemiaThe aim of the research was to define the role of MRS and ABR as early predictors of bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND) in full-term neonates who required intervention (phototherapy or exchange transfusion).
KLOS Study - Korean Medicine Registry for Low Back Pain Patients, a Prospective, Observational,...
Low Back PainBack Pain3 moreThe Purpose of this trial is to define the characteristics of the in/outpatients with low back pain in traditional Korean medicine rehabilitation clinic. This information will create a registry that will help us to compare similarities and differences in patients and their symptoms. The more patients the investigators are able to enter into the registry, the more the investigators will be able to understand the low back pain and learn better ways of caring for patients.
Neurologic Manifestations of the Arbovirus Infection in Colombia
EncephalitisMyelitis7 moreThis is a multi-center case-control study that aims to define the association between the exposure to an arbovirus infection and the development of a neurological syndrome in patients from Colombia. The study makes part of the Neurovirus Emerging in the Americas Study (NEAS) that is a collaborative effort that looks to combine the efforts of researchers, healthcare providers and patients in Colombia to establish a comprehensive registry of the clinical, radiological and laboratory profile of patients with new onset of neurological diseases associated mosquito-borne viruses, known as arboviruses.
Position Sense, Balance, and Dual Task Performance at the Menstrual Cycle in Females With Multiple...
Multiple SclerosisNeurologic Symptoms1 moreThe aim of this study was to investigation of knee position sense, balance, and dual task performance in different phases of menstrual cycle in females with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting young people and leading to demyelination and neurodegeneration. MS affects females more than males with a ratio approximately of 3:1. Important gender differences in progression and inflammatory activity of disease have been observed. Sex hormones have been thought to play an important role in this condition. It is worth noting however that sex hormones not only affect reproduction (menses/pregnancy), they also have direct effects on the nervous and immune system. In the neurologic group, especially in MS patients, it is well known that disease activity, course, and symptoms can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations in different phases of the menstrual cycle. Previous studies have reported that the variation of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle may have an effect on several neurological functions. However, these studies are mostly subjective, in the form of patient reports and in limited numbers. Smith and Studd reported that there was a premenstrual increase in disease severity as changes in the Th-1 / Th-2 balance occurred in association with decreased circulating estrogen. Withdrawal of hormones from damaged tissues that affect axonal conduction can explain the change in disease activity, course symptoms during the menstrual cycle in female with MS. For all these reasons,investigators think that different phases of menstrual cycle change position sense, balance, and dual task performance in females with MS. Considering hormonal fluctuations occurring in the menstrual cycle, is an important criterion for organizing the rehabilitation program and evaluation in terms of physiotherapy.
