Effect of "Breath of Fresh Air" Flash Activity on Dementia Agitation : Pilot Study

Dementia

Non-drug therapies (NDT) constitute a strong axis of the person with dementia behaviour management. Among these NDT, the flash activities constitute a mode of intervention to prevent and control the expression of the most disruptive behavior. These are short-term activities with the objective of decreasing the behavioural disorders intensity in less than 15 minutes. The aim of this pilot study is to test the effect of a flash activity "breath of fresh air" compared to the usual relational care on the short-term decrease (15 min.) of the agitation in hospitalized dementia patients.

Nabilone for Agitation in Frontotemporal Dementia

Frontotemporal DementiaFrontotemporal Dementia5 more

The primary goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that oral nabilone treatment will reduce agitation compared with placebo in patients with Frontotemporal Dementia (both behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia). The study population is defined as patients with probable Frontotemporal Dementia that meet the International Psychogeriatric Association criteria for agitation in cognitive disorders.

General Anesthetics ToxicityPostoperative Cognitive Dysfunction1 more

Postoperative agitation is a common complication in pediatric anesthesia, with an incidence ranging from 10% to 80%. Common surgical procedures in children include tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, insidious penis prolongation and circumcision, etc. Postoperative delirium and agitation is a clinical emergency, and can have detrimental effects on the child's health. The primary clinical manifestations include disorganized movements, moaning, incoherent speech, confusion and paranoid characters, inability to be concentrated, and irritability, obstinacy or uncooperative; all these would increase the risks of falling out of bed, possible fractures, and all kinds of tube loss. These symptoms would sustain postoperative recovery significantly and pose a possible long-term neurological dysfunction. As a result, an extended hospitalization, elevated in-hospital mortality rate, escalated medical expenses, heightened risk of cognitive impairment, reduced quality of life, and increased incidence of postoperative complications. Traditional acupuncture has been shown to improve cerebral micro-circulation, correct energy metabolism disorders, alleviate chronic pain and regulate visceral function, lessen fatigue and modulate immune. Moreover, acupuncture is a simple, effective and safe therapy. Electroacupuncture therapy is produced and developed on the basis of acupuncture therapy, which has a regulatory effect on multiple systems of the body and can play a regulatory effect that is consistent with normal physiological regulation. Modern medicine believes that the anterior cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, and other regions of the limbic system are the possible center control of emotion and cognition. Electroacupuncture treatment can help accelerate the recovery of central nervous system function, which plays a protective role on the central nerve system, especially the brain, within 24-72 hours after electroacupuncture treatment. At the same time, electroacupuncture is beneficial to the recovery of immune function postoperatively, it can promote the release of central neurotransmitters and improve receptor activity, so as to play a role in postoperative analgesia, reduce the dosage of anesthetics, brain protection, neurological function rehabilitation, and so on. According to scientific research, it also posses a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of postoperative delirium. Sevoflurane is an inhale anesthetic which is widely used in clinics for pediatric general anesthesia. Due to the high incidence of postoperative delirium and agitation, it has been given rise to great concern on pediatric clinical anesthesia. In order to reduce delirium and agitation incidence, the investigators apply electroacupuncture in pediatric for sevoflurane combined with intravenous general anesthesia, aim to target a safe way to lessen postoperative brain complications on pediatric. This is a single-center experimental study that employs randomization, triple-blinding, and control study. Pediatric patients were randomly assigned to two groups, sevoflurane general anesthesia group (S group) and electroacupuncture group (E group), 40 patients, respectively. Anesthesia induction, maintenance, and monitoring be performed identically in both groups, the S group will not receive electroacupuncture treatment, the E group will receive electroacupuncture therapy. Electroacupuncture intervention will be performed by blinded acupuncture physicians, visitor who is blind to collect preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data while visiting patients, data statisticians, who are blind to the intervention, data collection, conducted statistical analyses on the data electronically.

Emergence Agitation

Pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy usually have a high incidence of postoperative EA, which increases the risk of developing postoperative airway obstruction and respiratory depression due to anatomical characteristics of operative location and increased susceptibility to opioid analgesics. the study will compare between nebulized and intravenous bolus of dexmedetomidine as a prophylaxis against postanesthetic emergence agitation in children undergoing tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy procedures.

Hemodialysis Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome Used Vibration

RLS

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal sensations, usually accompanied by pain and restlessness in the legs and/or any part of the body. Sleep quality disorders (10-20%) and limb movements during sleep are quite common in patients with RLS . These disorders in sleep quality are also common among patients receiving hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the treatment of RLS. Due to the varying success and side effects of pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological methods have come to the fore for these patients. One of the methods that can be applied as a non-pharmacological method is vibration. The therapeutic effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (EYYDM) is not clear, it is stated that it activates the muscles, fascia and tendon and improves pain clinically in studies. The aim of the study is to determine the most effective treatment method on pain and sleep quality by comparing the effects of vibration and EYYDM methods in dialysis patients with restless legs syndrome
