Article: The U.S. government and the World Health Organization (WHO) both maintain a database of registered clinical trials around the world. The U.S. database is located at https://clinicaltrials.gov/. The WHO keeps their database at http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/. You can try searching on multiple databases to locate the most promising trial for your condition. Write "stem cells" into the search bar. If you have a specific condition that you hope stem cells can treat, add it afterwards. Choose your country from the drop down menu or add it to the search bar. For example, you might search "stem cells diabetes Canada" or "stem cells macular degeneration USA." If you have a specific condition, your doctors may already know of a study that you may qualify for. They can refer you to the study or provide information on how to apply for the study. Ask them for a description of the study. Be sure to ask your doctor for any details of the study. For example, you might ask "where is it located?" or "in your opinion, do you think that this clinical trial might potentially help my condition?" The protocol is a full description of the trial. It is usually available online from clinical trial databases or from your doctor. The protocol will state what the study hopes to accomplish and how they are testing stem cells. Some things to look for include: Intervention/treatment: how they will administer the stem cells. Age and sex eligible for study: who they want as subjects for the study. Inclusion Criteria: what conditions and qualifications you must have to be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: what conditions and qualities will prevent you from joining the study. Sponsors: who is running and funding the study. Look for studies run by governmental bodies, universities, teaching hospitals, or accredited research institutions. If you are uncertain who the sponsor is, look them up to make sure that they are credible. The description of the clinical trial should also contain contact numbers or emails. Before you apply for the study, contact the researchers and ask them questions to make sure that the study is right for you. Some good questions to ask include: "What are the risks of this trial? Who might be at higher risk?" "Is your trial approved by regulatory authorities? If so, who has approved this project?" "Do you have independent oversight by a medical ethics board or institutional review board (IRB)? This means that the study has been approved by an outside ethics board." "Are there any conflicts of interest? For example, is the study being funded by anyone who might profit off the sale of stem cell therapy?" "What are the qualifications of your researchers? How long have they been conducting research? Where did they get their degrees?" "Will I receive follow-up care after the trial? If so, am I expected to pay for it?" If you are certain that you are willing to take the risks of the study, apply for the study through the head researchers. Generally, you will need to make an appointment with the researchers, sign an informed consent form, submit your medical records, and undergo a medical examination. Some trials may require that your doctor refers you to the study. You may not be able to apply directly. In some trials, you may receive medication, infusions, shots, or other forms of treatment. You may need to regularly visit hospitals or research institutions for testing or monitoring. The researchers may also ask you to record certain details about your day, such as what you ate, how you exercised, and what you spent your time doing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Search for a nearby trial by using an international database for clinical trials. Ask your health care provider to recommend a study. Read over the protocol of the study to determine if you are eligible. Contact the head researchers to inquire about the study. Apply for the study. Follow the instructions of the trial carefully.

Problem: Article: Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface. Unwrap the chilled dough and place it on the floured surface. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it's 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Turn the dough occasionally to keep it from sticking. You might need to sprinkle more flour over the dough as you roll it. Take a 3-inch (7-cm) round cookie cutter with scalloped edges and use it to cut about 12 circles from the dough. You might need to roll the scraps into a ball and re-roll the dough in order to cut more circles. Avoid re-rolling the dough more than once or the pastry will become tough. If you want to use a mini-muffin tin, use a smaller cookie cutter to make your circles. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or brush each cavity with melted butter. Turn on the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You can use a standard muffin tin or use a mini-muffin tin if you'd like very small tartlets. For a mini-muffin tin, try using a 2-inch (5-cm) round cookie cutter with scalloped edges. Lift each scalloped circle up and place it into the prepared muffin tin cavities. Gently press it into the bottom and sides of the cavities. Take a fork and prick the bottoms of each a few times to prevent it from puffing up as it bakes. Place one muffin liner on top of each tartlet in the muffin tin. Fill each muffin liner with pie weights or dried beans to weigh the muffin liner down. Filling the liners will help the tartlet shells keep their shape as they bake. Put the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the tartlet shells until they're pale golden brown. This should take 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and let the shells cool completely. Lift the muffin liner and weights out of each shell. Don't worry if the muffin liners create ridges in the tarts. You shouldn't be able to see these lines once you've filled the tartlets. Fill each tartlet with your dessert filling. For example, fill the shells with: Whipped cream and melted chocolate Pudding Ganache Fruit or nuts
Summary: Roll the dough into a large circle that's 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Cut the dough into 12 circles using scalloped cookie cutters. Butter a muffin tin and preheat the oven. Press the dough into each cavity and prick the dough with a fork. Fill each tartlet with a muffin liner and weights. Bake the tartlet shells for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the liners and fill the tartlet shells.

The realities of childbirth are that you will probably do this during labor and may not even realize it, but if you don't, try to find a way to empty your bladder prior to massage. A full bladder may push the uterus off to the side, which makes the massage process both uncomfortable and ineffective. Uterine massages may take place immediately after birth, or may take places several minutes to several hours after delivery. Subsequently, it is a good idea to practice deep breathing and muscle relaxation immediately prior to and during the massage. Relax your muscle and take slow, calm breaths to help with the potential discomfort. If you still have a pain management drug such as your epidural in your system, you may not notice any discomfort. If your birthing professional opts to perform a uterine massage, trust that there is a good reason for it. It may cause some discomfort, but it is important that you allow your birthing team to perform the massage as they see necessary, since it could help keep you healthy and safe after birth. Just as you did through labor, you may choose to have a partner with you during the after-birth process, including the massage. Hold their hand or ask them to distract you to provide some comfort during the massage process.
