NCT05873322
The overall survival of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma in children and adolescents is above 90%. The survival rate has increased significantly during the last decades as a consequence of more intensive chemotherapy. This very toxic treatment results in severe acute toxicities and late effects, which is the biggest challenge today besides survival. The overall purpose of contemporary ALL treatment is to reduce the toxic treatment without compromising the excellent survival rates of these diseases. This study is a part of this. The researchers want to investigate the incidence of glucose intolerance and medicine induced diabetes during treatment for ALL and lymphoma with steroids (prednisolone or dexamethasone) and ± PEG-asparaginase. Steroids and asparaginase are used in the treatment of ALL and lymphomas, and both drugs may induce glucose intolerance or diabetes, especially when they are given concomitantly. The incidence and duration of increased blood glucose levels are not very well investigated, and especially not monitored continuously during treatment phases with steroids and +/- asparaginase, as the investigators want to do in this study. In the study the participants must have a glucose sensor attached under the skin, which continuously measures blood glucose during treatment. Moreover, blood samples are drawn several times to measure insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. The participants are children and adolescents (1.0-17.9 years) with newly diagnosed ALL or lymphoma treated at one of the four Danish pediatric oncology sites. Blood glucose levels are followed during treatment with steroids and PEG-asparaginase in these patient groups. The results may give rise to a new treatment guidelines for measuring and treating blood glucose in these patients. In the future this may help reduce the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome in survivors of ALL and lymphoma.
NCT05974384
Fractures of the distal end of the radius are one of the most frequent fractures diagnosed in the emergency room. The initial management, and in many cases definitive, is carried out through manipulation, closed reduction and immobilization in the emergency room. Different methods of anesthesia have been described to reduce pain during the manipulation and reduction procedure, such as: hematoma block, periosteal block, general anesthesia, intravenous regional anesthesia, nitrous oxide, intramuscular sedation, and conscious sedation. Despite the use of different methods of anesthesia, none is fully effective and each of these methods is not free of complications. Adjuvant measures could play an important role in improving the patient's experience during the procedure, however, there is little evidence in this regard. Music is increasingly being studied and developed as an adjunctive therapy in the management of pain and anxiety in different medical procedures, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in pain and anxiety. However, in the literature there is no evidence of studies that evaluate the effect of music during the reduction of fractures in traumatology as an adjuvant therapy for the management of pain and anxiety. In our experience, despite the anesthesia used, reductions of distal radius fractures are usually a painful procedure that involves a certain degree of discomfort for the patient. For this reason, the investigators believe this study is necessary, as it could demonstrate a new adjuvant therapy that reduces pain and anxiety and improves the overall experience of the patient, in addition to being music, a low-cost tool with no risks for patient safety.
