The pandemic has highlighted the importance of protecting our physical and mental health, and the complex responsibilities that caregivers have in supporting their loved ones. To improve the health of men with prostate cancer and of their caregivers, the research team developed TEMPO: a self-directed Tailored, wEb-based, psychosocial and physical activity self-Management PrOgram. TEMPO was developed with men with prostate cancer and their caregivers over the past 8 years. It also combines the investigators' research conducted over the past decade on providing the best support to those affected by cancer. Because the cancer care workforce is already overstretched, the research team designed TEMPO to be used without guidance from a health care professional. TEMPO is one-of-a kind in its support of both patients and caregivers, and the integration of coping skills training on a wide range of cancer challenges along with a home-based exercise program. Patients and caregivers who have used TEMPO said they improved their communication, learned new skills to cope with both physical and emotional challenges of cancer, and increased their physical activity. The present project builds on this work to further evaluate the cost and impact of TEMPO on men's and caregivers' health. Men with prostate cancer and their caregivers will be assigned by chance to one of two groups a) TEMPO or b) monitor their anxiety for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, patients' and caregivers' needing more support will be identified based on an assessment of their anxiety level. For those already using TEMPO and needing more support, non-health care professional guidance might be offered. All those in the monitoring group needing more support will now have access to TEMPO. All participants complete surveys to determine whether TEMPO led to improved health outcomes. conditions: Cancer of the Prostate conditions: Anxiety studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: SEQUENTIAL interventionModelDescription: Using a stepped care approach, TEMPO will be provided across two intervention stages with variations on timing (initial vs. delayed) and intensity (self-directed vs. guided).

Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) ask patients about their healthcare service experience. It gives them a voice to share their views. PREMs allow healthcare providers (HCPs) to see where care is good, and where they could improve. Vascular surgery is a surgical speciality looking after people's blood vessels (arteries and veins).
There is no PREM available for vascular patients. The research team want to create a PREM for this patient group.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT:
A PREM allows HCPs to record and understand patients' experiences of their treatment. It gives patients a way to provide feedback on their healthcare experience. PREMs can help HCPs make changes to patients' care, identifying areas of good practice and areas for improvement. The Welsh Government is keen to support the use of PREMs.
AIMS:
To develop a PREM specific to vascular surgery patients.
RESEARCH PLAN:
The research team will summarise the literature about PREMs in surgery. The research team will then run focus groups and interviews with patients and staff to create a 'draft' PREM for vascular patients in Wales. The 'draft' PREM will be translated into Welsh.
In the second phase, a larger number of vascular patients (100-300 depending on how long the 'draft' PREM is) from hospitals across Wales will complete the questionnaire. Statistical tests will look at the results to see if the questionnaire works well to capture patients' experiences. Based on these results, small changes will be made to make the 'draft' PREM better. This will make sure the 'final PREM' is ready for widespread use in Wales and beyond.
PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT:
The patients' experience team at CAVUHB has reviewed our patients' materials. Our research team includes PPI co-applicants (DC and AH). DC a double amputee who has had many vascular operations. DC has experience raising awareness about vascular disease through public forums like the Limbless Association Charity and BBC Radio Wales. AH has issues with her leg due to smoking and had a keyhole operation to help with that. She had some problems after the procedure This is her first time as a PPI representative. DC and AH supported our research design and will be steering group members. Also, our research focuses on giving patients a voice and will include patients across Wales.

In observational studies, only observations are made, without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare.
Chronic HFrEF is a long-term condition in which the heart becomes weak and cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body with each heartbeat. This leads to a reduced supply of oxygen, which the body requires to function properly.
The study treatment, vericiguat, works by increasing the activity of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which relaxes the blood vessels and allows more blood to flow. As a result, the heart can pump better.
It is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with chronic HFrEF in the United States (US) who are stabilized after a recent "decompensation event". The treatment with vericiguat starts at a low dose, which should be increased gradually to the target dose based on how a patient tolerates the treatment.
The participants in this study are already receiving treatment with vericiguat as part of their regular care from their doctors.
The main purpose of the study is to learn more about the dosage pattern of vericiguat in people with chronic HFrEF in the US. To do this, researchers will collect the following information for 3 months after participants' first dose of vericiguat:
* starting dose of vericiguat
* daily changes in dosage pattern
* time taken to reach the target dose
* number and percentage of participants:
* with specific changes in dosage pattern
* reaching the target dose of vericiguat
They will also collect information on how often low blood pressure or fainting occurs, which are well known events in people with chronic HFrEF.
The data will come from the participants' information stored in a database called the HealthVerity HF dataset. Data collected will be from people with chronic HFrEF who started taking vericiguat between January 2021 and April 2023.
Researchers will only look at the health records of participants in the US.
Researchers will track participants' data and will collect information for a maximum of 6 months before and 3 months after their first dose of vericiguat.
In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study. conditions: Chronic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction studyType: OBSERVATIONAL observationalModel: COHORT timePerspective: RETROSPECTIVE count: 1400 type: ESTIMATED name: Vericiguat (Verquvo, BAY1021189) measure: Number of patients having vericiguat daily dose of 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg at index date measure: Number of patients having daily dose of 10 mg/day within the 90 days after vericiguat initiation measure: Days from index date to first occurrence of 10 mg/day dose measure: Number of patients who received a dose of 2.5 mg/day, 5 mg/day and 10 mg/day, or discontinued drug therapy each day over the 90-day follow-up period measure: Number of patients having any Vericiguat up-titration within the 90 days after vericiguat initiation measure: Number of patients having specific titration scenarios within the 90 days after vericiguat initiation measure: Number of patients having hypotension or syncope in the entire 90 days after vericiguat initiation and by 30 days intervals sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Bayer city: Whippany state: New Jersey zip: 07981 country: United States lat: 40.82454 lon: -74.4171 hasResults: False
<|newrecord|> nctId: NCT06363097 id: ΔΔ5032 briefTitle: Urinary Uromodulin, Dietary Sodium Intake and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease overallStatus: RECRUITING date: 2023-09-04 date: 2024-12 date: 2025-06 date: 2024-04-12 date: 2024-04-12 name: Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki class: OTHER briefSummary: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension is characterized by the phenomenon of sodium-sensitivity, i.e., the disproportionate increase in blood pressure (BP) due to an increase in dietary sodium consumption to maintain homeostasis through urinary sodium excretion. Impaired renal circulation, blunt suppression of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system overactivity, paradoxically reduced levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and hyperinsulinemia represent the main pathophysiologic mechanisms. Accumulated evidence has suggested that uromodulin plays a central role in the development of sodium-sensitive hypertension. Uromodulin is a kidney-specific glycoprotein which is exclusively produced by the epithelial cells lining the thick ascending limb and early distal convoluted tubule. It is currently recognized as a multifaceted player in kidney physiology and disease, with discrete roles for intracellular, urinary, interstitial and serum uromodulin. Among these, urinary uromodulin modulates renal sodium handling through regulating tubular transporters that reabsorb sodium and are targeted by diuretics, i.e., the loop diuretic-sensitive Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter type 2 (NKCC2) and the thiazide-sensitive Na+/Cl- cotransporter (NCC). Given these roles, the contribution of uromodulin to sodium-sensitive hypertension has been proposed. In preclinical models, uromodulin deficiency causes decreased BP that is resistant to dietary salt, while uromodulin overexpression causes hypertension due to increased tubular sodium reabsorption that is responsive to furosemide. Genetic human studies have identified robust associations of specific UMOD gene variants with sodium sensitivity and incident hypertension risk, while comprehensive Mendelian randomization studies have affirmed these associations by highlighting the causal relationship between UMOD variants, urinary uromodulin levels and hypertension. Furthermore, clinical studies in both healthy individuals and hypertensive patients have indicated a link between sodium sensitivity and uromodulin, directly affecting mean BP levels and BP response to salt intake. With regards to CKD population, solid data on the link of uromodulin with sodium sensitivity are currently missing from the literature. There is only a pediatric study in the setting of CKD (stages 2-3), which failed to show an association between urinary uromodulin levels indexed to urinary creatinine (UMOD/uCr) and either 24-hour or office BP; however, this study has several limitations, and its results should be interpreted with caution. To best of our knowledge, there is no study up to date investigating the effect of dietary sodium intake on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure depending on urinary uromodulin levels in adult CKD patients. conditions: Chronic Kidney Disease conditions: Hypertension studyType: OBSERVATIONAL observationalModel: OTHER timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL count: 130 type: ESTIMATED measure: Effect of

It outlines the concept of neural plasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt through changes in excitability, and notes that these changes are more enduring in the central nervous system (CNS) than in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). This adaptability, crucial for memory and motor learning, is compromised in SCA patients due to impaired brain areas and pathways. The summary further delves into motor learning, distinguishing between explicit and implicit learning, and points out that SCA patients exhibit deficiencies in procedural learning and cerebellar function. It also introduces the concept of priming as a preparatory mechanism that can enhance the effectiveness of physical therapy by modifying subsequent responses to stimuli. The document suggests that cycling, as an aerobic exercise, could prime the brain for improved blood flow and oxygenation, thereby supporting synaptic plasticity and the release of beneficial neurotrophic factors. Finally, the project aims to deepen the understanding of motor performance and learning mechanisms in SCA patients and apply these insights to clinical rehabilitation strategies. conditions: Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED interventionModel: CROSSOVER primaryPurpose: OTHER masking: NONE count: 145 type: ESTIMATED name: ES Cycling Training measure: Overall Response Time measure: Overall Error Rate measure: Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) measure: Intracortical Facilitation (ICF) measure: Intracortical Inhibition (ICI) measure: Total Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) Score measure: Total Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Score measure: Total Time to Complete the Time Up and Go test (TUG test) measure: Walking Speed measure: Step Length measure: Step Time measure: Double Support Time measure: Single Support Time measure: Swing Time measure: Stance Time measure: Cadence sex: ALL minimumAge: 20 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Chang Gung University status: RECRUITING city: Taoyuan zip: 333 country: Taiwan name: Ya-Ju Chang, PhD role: CONTACT phone: 88632118800 phoneExt: 5515 email: [email protected] lat: 24.95233 lon: 121.20193 hasResults: False

Shear-wave elastography assesses the velocity of shear wave propagation within the target lesion. A part of the tissue is deformed by a "push pulse", the velocity of the shear waves propagating within the tissue is detected, and the stiffness of the tissue is assessed based on the detected shear velocity. Shear-wave elastography has been intensively studied in thyroid, breast, liver, cervical lymph nodes, and musculoskeletal diseases with promising result.
Transthoracic shear-wave ultrasound is also used for the prediction of lung malignancy.
In progressive renal disease, renal function decline correlates with the extent of interstitial fibrosis, irrespective of the original pathology. Experience and research in using shear-wave elastography to study the stiffness of renal parenchyma and renal fibrosis are scanty. The investigators will conduct a prospective observational study. This study aims to provide the information of tissue elasticity in different etiologies of renal diseases and to validate the predictive value of shear-wave elastography in predicting renal function and renal fibrosis.
