Filter by:The aim is to determine the metabolic factors, host immune factors, and medical imaging data associated with the development of HepatoCellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with alcohol-related liver disease or dysmetabolic steatosis/Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis. The investigators will include patients with and without cirrhosis in order to identify early molecular mechanisms involved in the development of HCC especially in non-cirrhotic patients.
Prospective quasi-experimental study between a study population who will receive outpatient induction of labour using intracervical Foley catheter, followed by the inpatient induction using intravaginal prostaglandin and a control group of women with similar characteristics undergoing inpatient labour induction with intravaginal prostaglandin (standard management)
To evaluate the usability and utility of the device, % agreement between the PID-RDT and the referent assay (serum/plasma), and % agreement between capillary blood and venous blood samples using the PID-RDT within confirmed PID patients prior to receipt of their monthly IV-Ig treatment.
This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, exploratory clinical study.The study population consisted of non-operative Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Following Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Patients With Locally-advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer.
For patients with irresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (e.g. multilevel or bulky N2 disease or presence of N3 lymph node metastases), current guidelines recommend treatment with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI, durvalumab). Chances of sterilization of a large (e.g. clinically staged T3 or T4 tumor) tumor volume by CRT alone are relatively small and these tumors are associated with a high local recurrence rate. Moreover, necrosis and cavitation of these tumors puts these patients at risk of fatal bleeding and might cause infectious complications, which lead to subsequent impaired quality of life (QoL) and to interruption of, or the need for postponing, (systemic) treatment. Upfront resection of the tumor in the lung, followed by postoperative CRT in patients who have a (potentially) resectable tumor could be a strategy to prevent complications of CRT in large volume and/or cavitating tumors with extensive mediastinal disease.
Comparison of kinematic movements between patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and post-operative patients and normal people using a mobile dynamic X-ray device.
The overall aim of this study is to pilot test Promoting Positive Care Interactions (PPCI) with the goal of establishing a feasible and culturally responsive approach to optimize care interactions between staff (nursing, activity, housekeeping, and dining service staff) and residents with ADRD in assisted living facilities (ALFs), and further improve select resident, staff, and facility outcomes. PPCI is a non- pharmacological four-step approach consisting of (1) stakeholder engagement in developing facility specific goals; (2) environment and policy assessments; (3) flexible staff education; and (4) ongoing mentorship, motivation, and support (in-person visits and text messages) for staff to optimize care interactions.
The Easy Flype Carbostent™ is a CE-marked nitinol self-expanding stent for superficial femoral artery (SFA) and Easy HiFlype Carbostent™is a CE-marked nitinol self-expanding stent for iliac vessels. The aim of this post-market retrospective study protocl P42201 is to collect clinical data of patients treated with Easy Flype or Easy Hi Flype for the stenosis or occlusion of the iliac artery, femoral artery and first third of the popliteal artery in routine clinical practice. In order to obtain long-term follow-up data, the data collection will be limited to patients that have been treated with these devices at least 12 months prior to the study start.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test effect of dietary management program based on the nudge strategy in gestational diabetes mellitus patients. The main questions it aims to answer is whether the dietary management program is effective for the diet management behavior of gestational diabetes mellitus patients. Participants will receive a 12 week dietary management program. The intervention group will receive a diet management program based on the nudge strategy, and the control group will receive a routine dietary management program. Researchers will compare two group's glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes and to see if effective for the diet management behavior.
CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease. Patients with the condition require investigation and management (typically in the form of revascularisation surgery) to salvage the limb. Traditionally, patients with the condition are admitted into hospital for their management, but with the advent of regional vascular networks, this is becoming increasingly difficult. Recently, the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland have advocated for the use of dedicated CLTI clinics to overcome this problem. Whilst there is burgeoning evidence for their clinical benefit, there is a lack of patient reported outcomes to measure their impact on patient selr-reported quality of life. We would like to determine if this service benefits its users as much as the clinical outcomes suggest it does.
