The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an intervention programme on dietary intake and dental health of 8th grade students.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the device and delivery systems (transfemoral and transapical) in high risk, symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Uveal Melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adulthood. Eye preserving treatments can deliver equivalent life prognosis in the management of small and medium sized uveal melanomas, as compared to enucleation. Plaque radiotherapy has emerged as the most common eye-preserving treatment in the current management of uveal melanoma, but is complicated by visual loss in approximately 70% of patients at 10 years follow-up. Strategies for the prevention and early treatment of radiation retinopathy/maculopathy need to be developed to improve visual outcomes following plaque treatment. Ranibizumab (Lucentis) is the antigen binding fragment of a recombinant, humanized monoclonal antibody, which inhibits the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor A, a mediator in the development of choroidal neovascularization. Lucentis is commonly used in the eye for eye conditions such as age related macular degeneration. This study will investigate the possible benefit of Anti-VEGF therapy (Lucentis) in reducing the incidence of radiation complications following plaque radiation for uveal melanoma.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe, sometimes life-threatening inflammation of the intestine that occurs most often in premature babies. If it progresses, the wall of the intestine may perforate, spilling bacteria and stool into the abdomen. Parts or all of the intestine may die. Despite 30 years of clinical studies, the cause of NEC remains unknown. In this study, we will be conducting an independent case-control validation study to verify the diagnostic and prognostic biomarker panels, develop validated biomarkers on boisensors in preparation for prospective validation studies, and conduct independent prospective validation of biosensor based biomarker panels on clinical samples.
The purpose of the research is to study brain structure, function and chemistry of patients with bipolar disorder who are receiving lithium, an FDA-approved treatment for bipolar mania, in order to better understand who benefits from treatment and why they respond to medications. Studying this may help improve treatment and outcome in patients with bipolar disorder.
This project will explore the relationship between catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158/108Met genotype and response to a 12-week computerized neurocognitive rehabilitation (CRT) given to chronic schizophrenic patients.
Comprehensive therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (CTTCM) could relieve risk of recurrence and metastasis for stage II & III colorectal cancer, the investigators take this clinical trial with retrospective-prospective cohort study based on previous studies by international multi-center way. If the study shows a positive result, a pragmatic randomized controlled study with prospective, multi-centre and large-sample design will be given continuously. The aim is to establish recommended programs suggested by CTTCM strategies under conventional Western medicine therapy (CWMT) for stage II & III colorectal cancer.
This study will compare high intensity focused ultrasound to standard brachytherapy in the treatment of primary, organ confined prostate cancer.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a form of talk therapy called cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in the treatment of major depression in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Method: This multicentric prospective cohort is composed of patients with no metastatic breast cancer selected by tumor's genomic analysis and treated by chemotherapy with Anthracycline without Taxanes (6 cycles of FEC 100). The patient can be included before or after the surgery and a written consent must be signed for the proteomic and genomic analysis of the tumor. Patients who have a "good signature" for the genomic analysis will receive the standard chemotherapy. Primary objective: - To compare metastasis free survival at 5 years in a cohort of patients with no metastatic breast cancer, who are selected by their genomic profile of the tumor and received a standard chemotherapy containing Anthracycline, with result of retrospectives studies. Secondary Objectives: - Overall survival. - Creation of a circuit (transport-extraction-genomic analysis-result) which allows the beginning of the chemotherapy within 6 weeks following the primary surgery. - Histological and seric proteomic exploratory studies.
