Patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric or esophageal cancer, with first-line treatment applied are to be recruited in the study. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride combined with nivolumab as second-line or salvage chemotherapy will be evaluated in Chinese patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 48 patients could provide adequate precision rather than controlling type I&II error.
This study will establish a sedative and hypnotics iatrogenic addiction risk monitoring network composed of 4 psychiatric hospitals in Shanghai through standardized data construction of outpatient prescription data and personnel training. Develop a sedative-hypnotic addiction risk prediction tool based on patient prescription data, and use independent in-operation outpatient prescription data for verification, and carry out clinical application promotion.
This study will test the efficacy, tolerability, and feasibility of an oral sulfate solution (SUPREP) for inpatient colonoscopy preparation, compared to the standard of care (GoLytely). The hypothesis is that SUPREP will be well tolerated and non-inferior to standard polyethylene glycol bowel preparation for colonoscopies in an inpatient setting. To test this, at least 124 subjects who are undergoing an inpatient colonoscopy will be randomized to receive either SUPREP or standard of care. The Boston Bowel Preparation Score will be collected as standard of care for both groups. Safety will be monitored from standard of care blood tests and ECG (when indicated). Subjects will be given a survey to assess how tolerable they found the procedure. A non-inferiority design will be used to compare SUPREP to the standard of care polyethylene glycol preparation. Data analysis will be performed on Boston Bowel Preparation Score and rate of failure of preparation (measured as number of successful subsequent colonoscopies).
The objective of this study is to evaluated the efficacy and safety of the reverse total shoulder prosthesis (RTSA) for complex proximal humerus fractures. The clinical results of RTSA will be compared to clinical results from a historical cohort, that received a hemiarthroplasty of the shoulder.
This study will be conducted to obtain data on oral cancer risk factors to generate machine learning models with good predictive accuracy for stratifying individuals with high-oral cancer risk and delineating high-risk and low-risk oral lesions. Likewise, this study will seek to provide oral cancer-related health education and training on oral-self-examination for beneficiaries
The purpose of this observational study is to examine the risk of adverse events following vaccination with 10 or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10 or PCV13) among infants or children age <59 months and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) among adults age 65 years and older.
The investigators plan to perform multi-omics technologies, including genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic methods, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, aiming at uncovering the mechanism of the tumor progression, identifying distinct tumor subtypes and finding new treatment targets.
This study investigates whether a complex intervention can aid recovery and prevent relapse in depression and readmissions in patients who have previously been treated for depression at a psychiatric outpatient clinic.
The current hypothesis is that robotic-assisted surgery results in a reduced systemic and peritoneal inflammatory response (SIRS) compared to laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of colon cancer. The purpose is to evaluate differences in the peritoneal and systemic inflammatory response in robot-assisted and laparoscopic surgery of patients undergoing resection for colon cancer in a randomized, blinded controlled trial.
Liver cirrhosis is a frequent and severe chronic disease. About 20 % of patients with liver cirrhosis develop umbilical hernias. In comparison, the prevalence in the general population is around 2 %. Patients with liver cirrhosis are often neglected and are not offered equal surgical treatments compared with other patient groups with chronic diseases due to fear of postoperative complications. The current literature is sparse, and many questions remain to be answered, such as timing of repair, risk profile, preoperative staging of the liver disease, possible optimization before surgery, repair technique, and postoperative care. Moreover, nationwide data are lacking. The management of umbilical hernias in patients with cirrhosis is debated. Recently, European Hernia Society published guidelines stating that elective hernia repair may be safe, and that emergency repair is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Nonetheless, surgeons remain reluctant to perform elective surgery on these patients due to fear of complications and mortality. The evidence supporting the guidelines is sparse and consists of small, low quality studies. One of the major concerns is that the existing studies failed to use clear and well-described definitions of the underlying severity of the liver disease. The rate of emergency repair may be much higher in patients with liver cirrhosis compared with the general population but there is no data available. The rate of emergency vs elective repair in patients with liver cirrhosis in Denmark is unknown, as well as the rate of reoperation for complications and readmission. Finally, we hypothesize that these patients may benefit from a more proactive approach with early diagnosis of their umbilical hernia by screening, preoperative optimization, and early elective hernia repair, but the effect of this hypothesis needs further evaluation.
