This feasibility study is designed to examine modulation of the relative activities of ACE and ACE2 in diabetic patients following treatment with the angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonist, Candesartan. This study will provide a closer insight to the possible involvement of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-related enzymatic components in development or attenuation of vascular pathogenesis.
To explore whether reduced systemic pain perception in response to painful stimuli and personality pain related variables characterizes silent MI patients.
Hypothesis: Radiosensitization using Xeloda should improve the rate of complete pain relief. Primary Objective: - To determine the frequency of pain relief for the proposed regimen. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine the duration of pain relief and narcotic relief for the proposed regimen. - To determine the frequency of narcotic relief for the proposed regimen. - To determine the toxicity of concurrent UFT and radiotherapy in patients with bone metastases.
The study hypothesis is that intensification of CHOP by dose escalation of the most active drugs in the combination will improve treatment outcome.
