The purpose of this research study is to compare how well a wire like device disrupts and removes blood clot in your blocked dialysis graft/fistula in comparison to inflating a balloon in your access for the same purpose. The wire like device is called the Cleaner XT and has already been approved by the government/Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose. Blood clots in your dialysis access can be fairly common and prevent you from being able to get dialysis. Procedures for opening this blockage must then be performed which is why you have been sent to the hospital today. There are different ways of opening up this blockage which can including blowing up a balloon in multiple areas of the graft/fistula to squeeze the blood clot to break up the blockage or using a wire like device to break up the clot in small pieces and try to remove all of the clot from the wall of the graft/fistula.
The goal of this phase II clinical trial is to evaluate the intracranial efficacy of JDQ443, a KRAS G12C inhibitor in patients with KRAS G12C+ NSCLC and brain metastases (cohort A: asymptomatic, untreated brain metastases, cohort B: asymptomatic, treated brain metastases). The main question it aims to answer is to evaluate the intracranial efficacy, according to RANO-BM criteria, in patients with asymptomatic and untreated brain metastases. Participants will receive JDQ443 200 mg BID until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
This is a 12-week chronic-dosing study to assess the efficacy and safety of BGF MDI compared to BFF MDI in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD.
Anesthetic method was reported to have an impact on postoperative long-term outcome in cancer patients. In this study, we will investigate the effect of different anesthetic methods on NK cell activity, cytokine response and postoperative outcome in colorectal cancer patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC. We will compare propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with balanced anesthesia to determine the effect of propofol, inhalation agent, and opioid on tumor genesis, recurrence, NK cell activity, cytokine response, and postoperative outcome.
This study involves the use of a newly designed shoe device for knee arthritis patients that may help reduce knee pain and improve function.
Moderate-intensity propofol treatments will be administered to participants who are non-responders at the end of Phase 1.
The overall goal of this study is to address fundamental questions regarding how the molecule acetylcholine interacts with the sympathetic nervous system to regulate blood flow and oxygen delivery to working skeletal muscle in young and older adults. With advancing age, blood vessels supplying active muscle lose their ability to override sympathetic constriction, which limits delivery of oxygen and results in fatigue. Findings from these studies will serve as the foundation for new strategies to improve regional blood flow regulation in older adults and clinical populations, which will increase quality of life and help to preserve functional independence.
Adjuvant radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery has been shown to improve both local control and overall survival. Dose escalation of the tumor bed by addition of a boost after whole breast radiotherapy reduces the risk of local recurrence in invasive breast cancer. Simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) techniques have been shown to provide more conformal treatment plans than conventional sequential boost, in addition, SIB enables a reduction in the overall treatment time by 1 week compared to conventional boost techniques. The proposed study is aimed at evaluating radiation-induced toxicity in patients treated with breast-conserving surgery in combination with radiotherapy using SIB technique.
This research study is testing the combination of two drugs, sargramostim and pembrolizumab. The study is designed to see if the combination of these study drugs would improve the control of unresectable or metastatic melanoma cancer when compared to use of these drugs alone. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Pembrolizumab - Sargramostim (GM-CSF)
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy is a diffuse multifocal autoimmune disorder of the peripheral neuron, affecting 1 to 9 in 100,000 people. Its course is difficult to predict, and may be characterized by continuous progression, multiple relapses, or recovery after a few months. treatment. The predominantly motor form with 4 limbs represents the typical form, but the disease can take on other clinical forms (pure sensory impairment, ataxia, etc.). In addition to induction therapy, patients most often require long-term maintenance therapy. First-line therapies, with the same efficacy according to a 2013 Cochrane study, are glucocorticoid therapy, plasma exchanges and intravenous immunoglobulin injections. Glucocorticoids have a grade C recommendation level while a grade A has been assigned to intravenous immunoglobulins and plasma exchange. However, the latter have less tolerance and have a rebound effect which limits their long-term interest. Intravenous immunoglobulins are therefore the preferred treatment today. The effect of intravenous immunoglobulins, delivered as a bolus over a few days, lasts two to six weeks, with the number of people being cured of three to improve a person. A more recent study has also shown their advantage in reducing the relapse rate at 6 months. However, the response to intravenous immunoglobulins fluctuates in different patients and, for any given patient, changes over the course of the disease. The 2010 recommendations therefore recommend an adaptation of the doses and duration of intercourse (0.4 to 1.2 g / kg every 2 to 6 weeks) according to individual monitoring of the response to treatment. In order to embrace the diversity of symptoms of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, several scores and scales are usually combined to ensure this follow-up in a cohort. Three clinical data are currently favored: the Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS), the INCAT Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS), the score of the Medical Research Council (MRC). However, none of them assess walking objectively. However, patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy sometimes report significant walking disturbances, which may result from both sensory disturbances or motor disturbances present in varying degrees depending on the patient. The alterations concerned, according to the studies, the walking speed, the temporal pattern of the step, with an impairment of the durations of the different phases (support and oscillation) or the angle and the angular speed of roll at the level of the trunk. Alterations in speed and phase duration of the step improve during treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin cures, with greater sensitivity compared to the ONLS and MRC scales. The power of the propulsive moment at the ankle during the last moments of the stance phase - the push-off - is another promising gait parameter that has made it possible to distinguish diabetic patients with polyneuropathy from those without diabetes. polyneuropathy and the intensity of the deficit is linked to the severity of the attack. Gait speed, as a reflection of the subject's gait performance, and the quality of gait including the timing of gait, trunk rotation movements and push-off, therefore seem to be potential response markers. for monitoring patients treated with intravenous immunoglobulins. InertiaLocoGraphy, quantification of gait by inertial measurement sensors, has proven its value in the evaluation of various pathologies in neurological practice, including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. It gives access to the walking speed as well as to various walking quality criteria (vigor of the step, rhythmicity, regularity, symmetry, stability, fluidity, synchronization) including the times of the different walking phases and the rotational movements of the trunk, and a push-off substitute. InertiaLocoGraphie, non-invasive, easy and quick to set up, reflecting the patient's function, therefore potentially provides biomarkers of choice for monitoring the response to intravenous immunoglobulin cures in patients with chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy demyelinating. Its association with the traditional monitoring tools such as the ONLS score, the I-ROS, and the CRM therefore appears to be of key interest for this monitoring.
