While opioid treatment does lead to initial improvements in QOL it remains below that of the general population. The integration of exercise programs as an adjunct therapy for SUD is gaining popularity. Previous reviews have indicated that exercise offers significant benefits for QOL, however the evidence in an opioid treatment population is lacking. This study will investigate the impact of a 12-week exercise intervention on QOL and mood in a residential opioid treatment rehabilitation program.Methods: This is a 12-week single arm intervention with a natural history control. Participants will complete a baseline screening assessing QOL, mood and exercise habits and those who meet criteria for exercise participation will complete an exercise assessment. The exercise program will be delivered twice per week as part of the group therapy program. Exercise sessions will run for approximately 40 minutes and be at an intensity selected by each of the participants.Conclusions: A recent review indicated that two sessions of exercise for a minimum of 12 weeks leads to an improvement in QOL in general SUD, however, to date minimal studies have been completed in people receiving opioid agonist treatment. Hence, this will be the first study to our knowledge, assessing the role of exercise as an adjunct treatment for QOL in this population.Trial Registration: This trial has been registered with the Australian New Zealand clinical trials registry ACTRN12622000213741.","PeriodicalId":13787,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Trials","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81463848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The demographic parameters, disease characteristics and treatment details were recorded. Efficacy assessments included improvement in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and decrease in central subfield thickness (CSFT), intra-retinal fluid (IRF) and sub-retinal fluid (SRF) from baseline to week 48.Results: Data of 1422 patients (wet AMD-27.57%; DME-30.7%, RVO-33.47%; mCNV-5.48%), who were treated with biosimilar ranibizumab, was analyzed. The most common age group of patients was 61-70 years (36.6%). The most common ocular risk factor identified was glaucoma (24.90%). A total of 85.72% patients were treatment naïve and 14.28% were previously treated patients. Biosimilar ranibizumab treatment resulted in significant (p<0.05) improvements in the mean BCVA and CSFT, and the proportion of patients with IRF and SRF was significantly reduced throughout the treatment. No new safety concerns with biosimilar ranibizumab were observed.Conclusions: Retinal diseases are more common in the age group of 61-70 years. Glaucoma was the most common ocular risk factor identified for retinal diseases. Long-term treatment with biosimilar ranibizumab was effective and well-tolerated in retinal diseases including wAMD, DME, RVO and mCNV in real-world Indian scenario.

Oral health professionals need good working ergonomics to preserve their work competence, efficiency, and high clinical level of treatment throughout their careers. For various working practices, clinical procedures, and patient types, they must adjust and ensure proper working postures, adequate illumination, and easy access to essential apparatus and materials.

To address the rising opioid addiction associated with peri-operative administration, trend in operative analgesia is moving towards opioid-free, multimodal analgesia. We present our protocol for this study so that it may be replicated in other settings and possibly modified for future studies.Methods: In a Single-centre, non-inferiority, parallel, randomized, controlled, clinical trial with balanced allocation [1:1] into two arms, we compared a peri-operative opioid-free analgesia regimen with a routine post-operative opioid-based analgesia regimen in women undergoing caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. Primary outcome measures were post-operative pain intensity at 4, 8 and 24 hours (using Numerical Rating Scale) and post-operative pentazocine use. Secondary outcome measures were the incidence of adverse events and Apgar score. Results will be published in a peer-reviewed, open access journal.Conclusions: This protocol adopted the use of intravenous paracetamol and intravenous NSAID as baseline analgesics. Magnesium sulphate was introduced peri-operatively as part of our opioid-free multimodal analgesia regimen because of its established effect in decreasing post-operative pain and opioid use. We also relied on the preventive analgesic effect of administration of intravenous paracetamol and intravenous magnesium sulphate before surgical incision, continued intraoperatively and post-operatively. In addition, magnesium sulphate is a familiar drug to the obstetrician, readily available and affordable in most settings where comprehensive emergency obstetric care is offered, easy to administer and it has been well tolerated clinically.Trial registration: This protocol was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04539249) on September 3, 2020, prospectively.","PeriodicalId":13787,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Trials","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88209825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prognosis depends on RH adaptability and remodelling in response to increased pulmonary arterial pressure. There is little information regarding risk variables and prognostic factors in the Argentinian population, current risk scores have not been validated, and its impact on free-event survival is still unknown. Prostacyclin analogues are the first-line treatment for high-risk patients. However, there is limited evidence on its clinical benefits, long-term effects, and impact on RH remodelling in the Argentinian population.Methods: The study was designed as a national, multicentre, prospective, observational, phase IV study including 100 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, treated with subcutaneous treprostinil and followed up for 48 months.

The widely seen health disparities of ethnic minority groups endure has extended into the parallel field of clinical research and clinical trials. There is a staggering gap between the percentage of White clinical trial participants compared to clinical trial participants of racially and ethnically diverse minority groups in U.S. clinical trials. Underrepresentation of minority groups in clinical trials dismisses opportunities to identify potential serious sub-group safety or efficacy signals, open doors to access life-saving treatments, and ultimately improve the standard of evidence-based medicine in the United States. Current literature on this issue frequently reiterates the following five key barriers underrepresented minority groups face against clinical trial participation: mistrust, lack of awareness and access, cultural and language barriers, investigator and provider bias, and financial burdens. A deeper dive into understanding each barrier will be critical in implementing changes with actions and in perspectives in order to address the issue of poor racial and ethnic representation in clinical trial populations.","PeriodicalId":13787,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Trials","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90396785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
