There are more than 498,563 clinical trials published worldwide with over 60,000 trials that are currently either recruiting or not yet recruiting.

The objective of the study is to establish a continuous nurse-led integrated support program and to exam its impact on preterm infant neurodevelopment. Research hypotheses include:1. The continuous nurse-led integrated support will have significant impact on preterm infant neurodevelopment; 2.The support program will also have positive effect on parent psychological well-being.
Worldwide, there are more than 60,000 births annually of serious forms of thalassemia .The World Health Organization considers thalassemia to be a major health burden. Beta- thalassemia is a group of recessively inherited disorders of hemoglobin synthesis characterized by reduced synthesis of the ß-globin chain caused by a mutation. The homozygous state results in severe anemia which needs regular blood transfusion.
Although positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been widely used in mechanical ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), how to select the "optimal" PEEP is far from consensus. The application of PEEP may result in beneficial effect by recruiting previously collapsed lung areas, harmful effect by over-distending previously aerated lung areas, or a combination of the both. The net effect of PEEP in a certain patient may depend on the recruitability. Because recruitability varies extremely in ARDS patients and strongly correlates with the response to PEEP, estimation of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) may be essential for individualized setting of PEEP. Whether the FRC changes at different PEEP levels remains unknown.
The third generation epidermal growth gactor receptor-tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor（EGFR-TKI） osimertinib has obvious curative effect for EGFR sensitive mutation and T790M mutation(PMID 27959700), but acquired drug resistance will occur. Previous studies show that apoptosis escape can lead to EGFR-TKI resistance.Osimertinib resistant cells show abnormal activation of PI3K/AKT/BIM activation(PMID 28765329). The classical drug aspirin can effectively decrease AKT phosphorylation and activate of BIM(PMID 28881293).So Investigators speculate that aspirin may decrease the PI3K/AKT/BIM signaling pathways, then promote osimertinib resistant cells apoptosis. The current study aims to evaluate the combination of aspirin and osimertinib in patients with EGFR/T790M mutations.

The study will test the ability of specially formulated nutritional supplement capsules to extend the time between recurrent urinary tract infections in women. This objective will be completed by enrolling women who have suffered from 3-4 uncomplicated UTIs in the past 12 months into a double blind placebo controlled cross-over trial. Cross-over and study completion are triggered by the next two UTI recurrences. The goal of the study is for the supplement to extend the time to the next UTI for study participants as compared to placebo.

At present, with the increasing intensities of the tobacco industry and air pollution in China, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have become the most important issue that threatens human health.Over the past two decades, the treatment of EGFR+ NSCLC is molecular target therapy (EGFR-TKI). However, only about 30 percent patients with T790M mutation could accept 3rd generation of EGFR-TKI（AZD9291) , most of the patients with progressive disease statuses still stays in the mode of treatment based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is a prospective, single-center, one-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus chemotherapy for 30 patients who progressed after EGFR-TKI treatment without T790M mutation. The participants will receive apatinib 250mg qd orally combine with chemotherapy, if the patient has a grade 3/4 adverse reaction during such treatment, it can be reduced to apatinib 250mg orally once per two days. Chemotherapeutic agents are limited to platinum-based double drugs chemotherapy.The primary outcome endpoint was progression-free survival.
Using abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging, the investigators will estimate total body muscle mass at two time points in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) by assessing cross-sectional muscle areas at the L3 vertebral body level. This allows for a determination of the rate of sarcopenia development in the ICU. With this information, the investigators propose to test if the rates of the development of sarcopenia differ in critically ill subjects with sepsis compared to a reference group of critically ill subjects with trauma (without sepsis).
to detect the role of CTHRC1 biomarker in diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and To correlate other well-established rheumatoid arthritis markers (RF& anti-ccp) and CTHRC1 level to see if CTHRC1 can act as a dependent or independent serum marker in prediction of RA status.
