Researchers are evaluating the effects of the probiotic B. lactis B94 on infants with infantile colic. The study aims to see if this probiotic can reduce the duration of crying in infants compared to a placebo. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to provide clear evidence on the potential benefits of B. lactis B94 for infantile colic symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving the probiotic B. lactis B94 and the other receiving a placebo. Both groups will take one sachet daily, dissolved in 10 ml of lukewarm water, for 4 weeks. The study includes a 1-week baseline period before treatment and a 1-week follow-up after the intervention. The trial involves three in-person visits and four phone calls. During the 6-week participation, caregivers will complete questionnaires, keep diaries, and attend scheduled visits and calls to monitor the infants crying, sleep, bowel habits, and quality of life. Researchers will measure changes in daily crying duration, crying patterns, sleep time, gut bacteria composition, and probiotic recovery. Safety and adherence will be tracked throughout the study, ensuring detailed observation of all participants.

Researchers are studying patients who have lived for three years or more after being diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer and who are no longer receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy. The study aims to understand these patients clinical characteristics, health status, socioeconomic impacts, quality of life, and their ability to return to work. This observational research focuses on both non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC and small cell lung cancer SCLC. Participants will be observed over time without receiving experimental treatments. They will complete several questionnaires related to quality of life, anxiety, and depression at the start of the study, then at 6 and 12 months, and annually for up to five years. Their health and treatment history, including any ongoing therapies like immunotherapy or targeted therapy, will be recorded throughout the study. During the study, participants will continue their usual medical care and attend regular consultations as needed. Researchers will collect data through questionnaires and health evaluations to measure clinical characteristics, health status, socioeconomic factors, and psychological well-being. The main outcomes include baseline clinical data and repeated assessments over five years to better understand long-term survivorship after metastatic lung cancer diagnosis.
