Common bile duct stenosis is an important indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP). Appropriate selection of bile duct stent size is not only conducive to successful stent implantation but also to improve the prognosis of patients. Currently, the selection of stent specifications is based on the operator's empirical estimation, which is not only not accurate but also increases the radiation exposure time, causing unnecessary harm to both the operator and the patient. Our objective is to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm to automatically select appropriate stent.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant tislelizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer. The tumor microenvironment and circulating immunological biomarkers in these patients were further evaluated to explore the factors affecting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. This study will provide valuable information for further prospective clinical trials of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 and other immunotherapy in esophageal cancer patients.
Lipedema is a chronic progressive disease characterized by abnormal increase of subcutaneous adipose tissue. It is characterized by bilateral enlargement of the lower and/or upper extremities, typically sparing the hands and feet. This disease, which almost always affects women, has rarely been described in men due to hormonal disorders or concomitant diseases such as cirrhosis. Although the results vary, it has been reported that it is seen at a minimum rate of 1:72.000 or 11% of women are affected by this disease. Although it is a common disease, it can often be missed in daily practice. Therefore, it is very important to define the disease clinic well. Lipedema usually presents with swelling in the bilateral extremities. It begins in the post-adolescent period and is progressive. It does not respond to diet and exercise, does not improve with elevation, is spontaneous or painful to touch. Patients describe easy bruising with touch or minor trauma. In early lipedema, pain may be the main complaint in the extremities before the development of skin findings. Because of the absence of a defined clear pain pattern in these patients, diagnosis can be missed and confused with other diseases. In addition, it causes limitations in treatment of the pain. Adipose tissue can cause nociceptive and neuropathic pain because it contains both nociceptive neurons and neural innervation. It isn't known whether lipedema pain is of nociceptive or neuropathic origin. In different studies, the pain pattern is defined in different ways such as hyperalgesia, allodynia, spontaneous pain, blunt, heaviness, pressure, tearing, stabbing, severe and unbearable. In this study, the investigators aim to determine if the pain characteristics of patients with lipedema is neuropathic or not and to define the pain characteristics better in order to ensure earlier recognition and treatment of pain.
To assess the efficacy of the REST model in facilitating adoption and sustained use of CGM, in older adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) or Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) on complex insulin regimens. To examine barriers and enablers for the implementation feasibility of the REST intervention model using a mixed-methods approach. To assess the impact of REST model on economic factors and quality of life measures. The goal of this study is to facilitate the adoption of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in older adults (≥65 years) with diabetes mellitus (DM) on complex insulin regimens, and additionally, to build a framework for sustained CGM use over time using a novel patient-centered model - the REST model.
To evaluate the long-term safety of AJOVY in patients under actual use conditions and to specifically evaluate cardiovascular events. In addition, information on efficacy will be collected.
Often the etiology of chronic pelvic pain is not clear, as there are many disorders of the reproductive tract, gastrointestinal system, urological organs, musculoskeletal system, and psych neurological system that may be associated with chronic pelvic pain. An effective treatment for this condition has evaded the medical profession for centuries. Even today only 20-25% patients respond to conservative management.5 When such treatment fails, a diagnostic laparoscopy is performed.1, 3, 6 the cause of the pain is not always obvious as no pathology is seen in 40-60% of the cases.1
Hypoxia occurs in about 80% of head and neck tumors. Based on experimental and clinical data, hypoxia is a useful parameter for pretherapeutic stratification. These radioresistant regions can be detected with FMISO PET/CT. Moreover, hypoxic subvolumes of tumors can be evolving as target volumes for radiotherapy ("dose painting") in hypoxia imaging-based dose escalation.
The aim is to investigate whether the addition of short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) during 1 month or short-term ADT during 6 months together with an androgen receptor targeted therapy (ARTA) to metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) significantly prolongs poly-metastatic free survival (PMFS) and/or metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer free survival (mCRPC-FS) in patients with oligorecurrent hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, adaptive-design outpatient study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of SON-1010 administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.
Monitoring the intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most important tests used in follow-up among glaucoma suspects and confirmed glaucomatous patients.
