This is a Phase II treatment study that is done to evaluate how effective and safe the combination of pembrolizumab and cisplatin work in treating participants with triple-negative breast cancer that had spread to other parts of the body, has come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. Pembrolizumab (investigational drug) is a monoclonal antibody that works by helping your immune system to fight cancer. Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that works by interfering with tumor cell division. Studies also suggest that treatment with chemotherapy, like cisplatin, may improve the effectiveness of pembrolizumab. This study will test the effectiveness of pembrolizumab and cisplatin in participants with advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
The objective of this study is to assess the performance of Hair Up on female pattern hair shedding and regrowth. 58 adult female patients suffering from hair loss will be evaluated in a single center prospective study
This study will compare a group of patients managed with a manual GDFT protocol (using the EV1000 monitoring device; Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA) to a group of patients managed using a decision support system for GDFT guidance (implemented on the same EV1000 monitoring) in patients undergoing major abdominal and orthopedic surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) antibody compared with HAIC plus sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
The goal of this randomized controlled trial will be to show that the use of a novel automated system to guide vasopressor administration in head trauma injury patients will results in more time spent with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) within the predefined MAP compared to patients managed without any automated system (manually management)
The study is aimed to investigate the possible role of lectin pathway - an alternative pathway of complement activation - in affecting stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and the possible correlations with clinical neurologic features.
Lateral epicondylalgia is a common musculoskeletal condition that approximately affects 1-3% of the general population. Several authors have found greater mechanical pain sensitivity in the radial nerve when compared with healthy subjects. Radial tunnel syndrome exhibits a similar clinical presentation to lateral epicondylalgia. Percutaneous electrical stimulation has shown reduce pain in several conditions. Percutaneous electrical stimulation on the radial nerve could cause an important relief in lateral epicondylalgia. Hypothesis: Percutaneous electrical stimulation on radial nerve plus exercise therapy in patients with lateral epicondylalgia is better than sham percutaneous electrical stimulation plus exercise.
The overarching aims of this study are to: 1. Characterize the rate of in vivo adipogenesis, and changes in adipose tissue gene and protein expression, in the scABD and scFEM depots of women undergoing surgical menopause (↓E2, ↑FSH). 2. Characterize the rate of in vivo adipogenesis, and changes in adipose tissue gene and protein expression, in the scABD and scFEM depots of women undergoing gonadal suppression (↓E2, ↓FSH).
The thoracic erector spinae plane (ESP) block was first described by Forero et al in September 2016. In their article, the authors presented the possibility of using this block as an option for the control of thoracic neuropathic pain as well as post-operative thoracic pain. The ESP block is done by administering local anesthetic in the plane deep to the erector spinae muscle, which spreads through the costotransverse foramen to the dorsal and ventral roots of the spinal nerves. Since then, there have been reports about the successful use of this block for bariatric surgery, ventral hernia repair, radical mastectomy, rib fractures, major abdominal surgery and hip replacement. However, there are no studies in the literature comparing the efficacy of the ESP block to other nerve blocks. The purpose of this study is to compare the post-operative analgesic efficacy of the ESP block to the fascia iliaca (FI) block after total hip replacement (THR).
This is a single-blind, placebo-controlled, telemedicine clinical trial to assess the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in adult patients 18 years and older with familial dysautonomia (FD) and anxiety and/or depression and/or obsessive compulsive or related disorders. The trial will enroll 20 adult patients each with FD who have anxiety and/or depression and/or obsessive compulsive or related disorders by the DSM V criteria. Enrolled participants will be allocated to receive, in a non-randomized fashion, weekly 5-10 min talking sessions (i.e., placebo) for 8 weeks, followed by weekly 30-60 min CBT sessions during 8 weeks. Although investigators will be un-blinded to the intervention, participants will be blinded to the expected effects of each intervention. Both the talking sessions (i.e., placebo) and CBT sessions will be performed via telemedicine either via a HIPAA secure telemedicine platform or the telephone based on the preference of the individual patient. If a patient specifically requests talking or CBT sessions to be performed in person, this will be accommodated. The use of telemedicine is to accommodate disability and potential physical limitations of this unique patient population. The CBT sessions will be supervised by Lily Armstrong, certified mental health therapist and Dr. Thomas Boes, NYU Clinical Assistant Professor in the Departments of Psychiatric and Neurology.
