Filter by:The MedSeq™ Project seeks to explore the impact of incorporating information from a patient's whole genome sequence into the practice of clinical medicine. In the extension phase of MedSeq we are attempting increase our participant diversity by increasing targeted enrollment of African/African American patient participants.
The PVP by Greenlight laser 180W is becoming a potential therapeutic alternative in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) as recommended. The PVP creates a prostatic box after the vaporization of the prostatic tissue of BPH. The underlying prostatic tissue is the site of an ischemic necrosis secondary to the thermal effects of proximity of the PVP. We intend to measure by prostatic MRI and contrast-enhanced ultrasound the necrosis.
The study will compare how well PF-06473871 works versus placebo in reducing skin scarring after scar revision surgery of existing breast scars. The study will also evaluate the safety of PF-06473871 in healthy adult subjects.
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate that changes in plasma levels of circulating neurohormones (mainly BNP and NT-proBNP), measured at rest and post-exercise correlate with exercise functional limitation (assessed by exercise peak VO2) and exercise ultrasonic parameters (as left ventricular filling, obstruction, and mitral regurgitation)
The purpose of RHYME is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ranolazine in Hypertrophic Cardiomypathy patients with chest pain or dyspnea despite treatment with standard medical therapy. This is a small, pilot, open-label (non-randomized) study of an approved drug for the treatment of angina in a novel patient population (adult patient population with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited heart condition that causes breathlessness, chest pain and fatigue. There are few treatments available. The investigators have recently shown that a drug called perhexiline reduced symptoms and improved exercise capacity in patients with HCM. This change appears to be driven by alterations in myocardial energy metabolism. The aim of this trial is to test a similar drug, trimetazidine, in a group of symptomatic patients with non-obstructive HCM. HYPOTHESIS: trimetazidine will improve symptoms, peak oxygen consumption, cardiac function and arrhythmia burden in medically refractory symptomatic patients with non-obstructive HCM.
Aim: To compare the gene expression of postburn hypertrophic scar with normal skin.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is a disorder of breathing during sleep characterized by prolonged partial upper airway obstruction and/or intermittent complete obstruction (obstructive apnea) that disrupts normal breathing during sleep1. The condition occurs in 2-5% of children and can occur at any age, but it is most common in children between the ages of 2 to 62,3. Untreated OSA is associated with lung disease, heart disease, growth delay, poor learning and behavioral problems such as inattention and hyperactivity. The most common underlying risk factor for the development of OSA is enlargement of tonsils and adenoids. Given the potential risk of complications associated with surgery of the tonsils and adenoids, medications to shrink the adenoids without requiring surgery have been considered, in particular intranasal corticosteroids (INCSs) which is a nose spray. A recent Cochrane systematic review suggested a short-term benefit of INCSs in children with mild to moderate OSA4. The authors recommended that further randomised controlled studies were required to evaluate the efficacy of INCSs in children with OSA. In particular they recommended that future studies should employ sleep studies to look for any improvement with INCSs, and should include children with more severe OSA, as these are the patients at the greatest risk of complications of surgery and would benefit most from a non-surgical treatment. The purpose of this study is therefore to explore the efficacy of INCSs in children with the full spectrum of OSA severity, including sleep study analysis., and longer term follow-up.
The goal of this study is to compare the perioperative and postoperative characters of plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate(PkEP) with bipolar TURP(B-TURP) for BPH patients with large prostate.
Altered contour of the lower face is a frequent complication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV facial lipoatrophy or loss of facial fat commonly results from antiretroviral therapy. Posterior cheek enlargement leading to a bulky and widened lower facial contour can also be seen in HIV. These changes can lead to significant cosmetic disfigurement and have an enormous psychosocial impact on patients. They also make individuals vulnerable by making them recognizable as persons living with HIV. Posterior cheek enlargement has not been well characterized. Both the parotid salivary gland and the masseter muscle are located in the posterior cheek region. Although parotid gland enlargement in a common complication of HIV, it is unknown whether enlargement of the masseter muscle also contributes. The investigators plan to study posterior cheek enlargement in HIV positive individuals. The investigators also plan to use botulinum toxin A as a novel treatment to improve the altered lower facial contour seen in HIV. This treatment has already demonstrated efficacy in HIV negative individuals with enlargement of the masseter muscle. Botulinum toxin has also been used safely in the salivary glands in individuals with excessive drooling resulting from neurological disease. In a trial HIV+ patient, the investigators have already demonstrated the efficacy of using botulinum toxin A in the treatment of posterior cheek enlargement, resulting from both parotid and masseter muscle enlargement. The investigators anticipate this study will increase our understanding of posterior cheek enlargement in HIV and lead to the development of a novel treatment for this important complication. The investigators hypothesize that posterior cheek enlargement in HIV+ patients will in some cases result from both masseter muscle hypertrophy as well as parotid gland enlargement. The investigators also hypothesize that the treatment of posterior cheek enlargement with botulinum toxin A will result in a more aesthetically appealing lower facial contour in HIV+ patients. This has already been demonstrated in a trial HIV+ patient, in which there was a dramatic change in the volume of the masseter muscle and parotid gland 12 weeks after treatment with botulinum toxin A.
