Incentive-based and Media Literacy Informed Approaches to Improve Vaping Cessation
BehaviorHealth Risk9 moreThis study aims to evaluate the feasibility and compare the preliminary effect of vaping cessation program consisting of media literacy education and real-time text messaging support and leverage insights from behavioral economics to enhance social and financial incentives to improve program engagement, and eventually abstinence. Our hypotheses are that 1) the Combined arm is associated with improved vaping abstinence to the Media literacy and Financial incentive arms; and 2) the financial incentive-related arms (either Combined or Financial incentive) enhance engagement compared to the non-incentive related arms.

Sex Steroids Balance for Metabolic and Reproductive Health in Klinefelter Syndrome
Klinefelter SyndromeThe study seeks primarily to determine whether modulation of systemic and testicular sex steroids balance by aromatase inhibitors will positively affect the metabolic health and spermatogenesis of men with Klinefelter syndrome (KFS) as compared to the current state of the art for each issue. Secondary objectives of this study are (i) to unravel the heterogeneity of the reproductive and metabolic phenotype of men with KFS by performing a multi-omic analysis in a large cohort at baseline; (ii) to evaluate the efficacy of semaglutide-induced weight loss to achieve metabolic and reproductive benefit in men with Klinefelter syndrome as compared to standard testosterone replacement; (ii) to assess whether addition of hCG to aromatase inhibitors further increases intratesticular testosterone and promotes spermatogenesis in men with KFS.
Efficacy of Colistin Monotherapy Versus Colistin Plus Minocycline for Carbapenem-Resistant A. Baumannii...
Acinetobacter InfectionsAcinetobacter baumannii causes severe infections (pneumonia, bacteremia, organ space) with high lethality in hospitalised critically ill patients. It can acquire resistance to all classes of antibiotics (multidrug resistance, MDR) except an 'old' drug, colistin, which may be the only therapeutic option. The addition of minocycline to colistin has been shown to be synergistic in vitro, and may be promising in vivo, but this combination has not been limited to case report or case series in comparison with colistin alone.
PBBT and WBV Effect on Balance and Gait in Stroke.
StrokeThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of perturbation based balance exercises with whole body vibration training in sub-acute stroke patients and to evaluate their effects on balance, and gait. The main aim to : To evaluate their effects on balance, and gait. Comparison of these rehabilitation protocols and identify the more efficacious treatment. Participants will perform perturbation based balance training and whole body vibration therapy to improve balance and gait. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare both groups to see both interventions effects.
Regional Analgesia in Combination With Cryoanalgesia to Prevent Acute Pain Following Nuss Procedure...
Acute PainRegional AnesthesiaFunnel chest deformation is a painful procedure, which requires high doses and long time used of opioids. It makes difficult introduction of ERAS protocol. Intraoperative cryolesia of intercostal nerves serves great relief of pain after this procedures. However ablation of the nerves needs 12-24 hours to achieve effects. During this time the high doses of opioids are needed. It causes side effects (sedation makes rehabilitation difficult). On the other hand, percutaneus cryoablation performed 12-24 hours before Nuss procedure needs repeated general anaesthesia. The investigators hypothesed that regional analgesia (erector spine plain block) performed just before intraopertive cryolesia may cover time to full cryolesia effect.
Late-presenting Hip Dislocation in Non-ambulatory Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Comparison of...
Cerebral PalsySpasticCerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by a fixed lesion that affects the neurological system during development. Pathologic hip conditions, such as subluxation or dislocation, are of great concern in non-ambulatory CP patients. Complete hip dislocations are commonly encountered in non-ambulatory CP patients and this can be quite problematic if pain is experienced or when sitting, balance, posture, or hygiene become affected. The management of this patient population includes both reconstructive surgery, which aimed to center the dislocated femoral head into the acetabulum, and salvage surgeries, which are performed to reduce associated pain and/or functional deficits (e.g., sitting problems). There are many options for salvage management of dislocated hips in CP patients, including proximal femoral resection (PFR) either with or without cartilage capping, proximal femoral valgus osteotomy, hip arthrodesis, and prosthetic hip arthroplasty. To date, there is no conclusive evidence to determine which option is superior compared to the others in terms of efficacy and postoperative complications in CP patients due to the lack of a comparison group and the small number of included patients. Furthermore, the decision to take reconstructive vs. salvage procedures is still a matter of debate in the literature. Therefore, this study is being conducted to compare outcomes between PFR, reconstructive hip surgery, and proximal femur valgus osteotomy in terms of clinical improvement (Including pain) and complications
Olverembatinib Combined With Reduced-Intensity Chemotherapy and Venetoclax for de Novo Ph+ ALL
Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaThe introduction of TKIs has greatly improved the prognosis of Ph+ ALL patients. The third-generation TKI ponatinib in combination with chemotherapy has demonstrated superior efficacy to first- and second-generation TKIs. However, unfortunately, ponatinib is not available in mainland China. Olverembatinib is the only third-generation TKI drug currently approved in mainland China. Venetoclax is an oral selective inhibitor of Bcl-2, and small exploratory clinical studies have demonstrated that venetoclax in combination with ponatinib showed high rates of CR as well as molecular response in relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL. This study will explore the safety and efficacy of olverembatinib in combination with reduced-intensity chemotherapy and venetoclax in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
