Filter by:This study evaluates whether adding a polygenic risk score evaluation to standard breast cancer risk assessment tools helps African American and Hispanic women make more informed decisions about accepting additional breast cancer screening and prevention strategies. Traditional breast cancer risk assessments rely mostly on the presence of standard clinical risk factors including family history, reproductive history, and mammographic breast density. This information can be combined with validated risk estimation models to provide a measure of a patient's 10 year and lifetime risk for breast cancer. A polygenic risk score helps to estimate breast cancer risk in a more individualized way by evaluating a patient's genetics. Adding a polygenic risk score evaluation to traditional screening techniques may help minority women make more informed decisions about screening and prevention strategies for breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the commonest hip problem seen by pediatric orthopaedic surgeons (1). DDH refers to an abnormal configuration of, or relationship between, the femoral head and the acetabulum .Principals of surgical treatment of DDH, however, always include reduction and stabilization. These principals could be applied by conservative or surgical means (2). Goal of Treatment options to Obtain and maintain reduction without damaging femoral head. Surgical Stabilization might be required in cases with failed conservative treatment, residual dysplasia or older children with neglected DDH. Surgical stabilization is generally achieved by a reduction into a near anatomical position and a complementary capsulorrhaphy (3). In the classic T-shaped capsular incision, the vertical branch parallel to the axis of the neck and the horizontal branch 5 mm from the iliac insertion of the capsule, from anterior and downward to posterior and upward. Two flaps are thus obtained (4). It was noticed that doing capsulorrhaphy after head reduction is cumbersome with this technique because it needs shallow-curved needles while suturing in narrow field and sometimes the suture material gets avulsed from medial flab. A suggested technique by doing a modified incision to make re -suturing of the capsule easier with multiple stitches.
The goal of this observational study is to explore the possible associated factors of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer in Indonesia and develop screening tools that could predict the risk of both types of cancer The specific objectives of the study are 1. Elaborating the situation of ovarian and endometrial cancer in Indonesia 2. Exploring the possible clinical, demography and laboratory predictors of these diseases 3. Develop artificial-intelligence-based screening tools for both type of cancer based on possible predictors This study will utilize the patient registry diagnosed with ovarian and endometrial cancer. We assumed that several demography, clinical, and laboratory predictors might possess good screening performance with higher sensitivity and specificity (>80%).
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
The TUMT-PAE-1 trial is a randomised clinical trial aiming to compare the effectiveness of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) with prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) in reducing urinary symptoms caused by prostate gland enlargement. The assessment will be done by patient reported and functional outcome measures. The primary purpose is to evaluate the urinary symptoms six months after the procedure, measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Holmium laser enucleation (HOLEP) has became a standard of treatment of large prostates that indicates surgery. HOLEP is widely used nowadays. Many settings are used but no optimal setting was world wide adopted. The aim of this trial is to assess the Low-power Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (LP-HoLEP)and compare to high-power (HP-HoLEP) for enucleation efficiency pertaining to the advantages of lower cost and minimal postoperative dysuria, storage symptoms, and negative sexual impact.
To explore the treatment efficacy of medroxyprogesterone acetate plus atorvastatin in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and early endometrial carcinoma (EEC) for conservative treatment.
This study will evaluate the effects of different doses of Lu AG13909 in adult participants with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, also called CAH. CAH is a rare genetic disorder that affects a person's ability to produce certain hormones. The main goals of this study are to learn about the safety and tolerability of Lu AG13909, how Lu AG13909 behaves in the body, and how the body responds to Lu AG13909.
Background: Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) can survive well into adulthood with proper treatment. But the change from pediatric to adult care can be challenging. Many people with CAH need extra support as they learn to take control of their own health care needs. Researchers have studied how people respond to different types of patient education. Now researchers want to find out if virtual education, via computer, is a good way to teach people how to manage CAH as they become adults. Objective: To test a virtual method of delivering patient education to adolescents and young adults with CAH. Eligibility: Adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 22 years who have CAH. They must already be enrolled in Natural History Study Protocol 06-CH-0011. Design: Participants may take part in the study remotely; they may also come to the clinic. They will have 3 visits in 1 year. Participants will complete questionnaires. Topics will include what they know about CAH; whether they remember to take their medications on their own; and whether they schedule their own appointments. They will be asked about their quality of life. They will be asked about their physical and emotional health. All participants will be taught how to care for themselves. The participants will be divided into 2 groups. Some will watch an 11-minute video on CAH that focuses on their goals as they become adults. The others will receive standard education. After 6 months, participants will receive CAH education again. After 12 months, participants will repeat the questionnaires from their first visit.
