Filter by:To explore whether there are factors that help us to understand why some patient outcomes are not successful and identify prediction factors for progression. Assess central pain sensitisation and psychology pre- and post-surgery with reliable tools that explore prediction tools for good/poor progression and improve patient selection, patient preparation and timing for surgery. The aim of this project is to explore the effects of pre-surgical central pain sensitisation on pain and function outcomes post-TKA. Central pain sensitisation will be assessed using pressure algometry and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used to explore pain psychology. Functional outcomes post-TKA will be assessed using a commonly used scale for patients' self-reported outcomes (Oxford Knee Score), visual analogue scale, a star excursion balance test and four recommended patient performance-based tests.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 211^astatine(At)-BC8-B10 before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or mixed-phenotype acute leukemia. Radioactive substances, such as astatine-211, linked to monoclonal antibodies, such as BC8, can bind to cancer cells and give off radiation which may help kill cancer cells and have less of an effect on healthy cells before donor stem cell transplant.
The objective of the MEDIS study is to determine if subjects experiencing an Acute Ischaemic Stroke due to large vessel occlusion, treated with IV tPA combined with the MED procedure have a greater likelihood of recanalisation 30-90 minutes after the completion of tPA infusion than subjects treated with IV tPA (plus sham device). Safety of the MED System Procedure will be evaluated by the incidence of symptomatic PH-2 haemorrhagic transformation within 24 hours following the procedure. Lastly, a health economics study will be conducted to estimate health care costs for each treatment.
This observational cohort study aims to develop a novel risk stratification system implementing biomechanics to aid in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of breakfast skipping (SKIP) vs. the consumption of a high protein solid (HP-S) breakfast vs. the consumption of a high protein beverage (HP-B) breakfast on daily appetite control, food cravings, food intake, and sleep quality in young adults.
Left ventricular remodeling is a common complication in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI ) and may lead to heart failure. Hemodynamic, metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms are involved in this pathophysiological process. Recent data demonstrated that remote, noninfarct-related region of the myocardium is also implicated. There is no data about the assessment of coronary endothelial function or myocardial fibrosis in the remote zone in patients with STEMI . The correlation between these parameters and left ventricular remodeling is not known.
Complications in patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts are common. Thus, these patients are frequently admitted for suspicion of a shunt dysfunction (SD). However, the symptoms of a SD are often unspecific and the required diagnostics are time consuming, expensive, invasive and may involve radiation exposure. In a prospective observational study it is planned to find out, how often a suspected shunt dysfunction is found, which kinds of shunt dysfunction are seen and if there is a correlation between the shunt dysfunctions and the age of the shunt. Furthermore, it is intended to find out, if there are symptom-patterns specific for certain shunt dysfunctions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and activity of BPX-601 CAR-T cells in participants with previously treated advanced solid tumors (prostate) expressing high levels of prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA). Participants' T cells are modified to recognize and target the PSCA tumor marker on cancer cells.
Current therapies for diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) provide very limited benefit to the patient. The rationale for the use of Antineoplaston therapy in this protocol study derives from experience with subjects from prior Phase 2 studies and Compassionate Exemption patients treated with Antineoplaston therapy at the Burzynski Clinic. This study is designed to analyze the efficacy and safety of Antineoplaston therapy in five separate DIPG patient cohorts, which are defined by age and prior therapy. This is a two stage study with 20 patients in each cohort being enrolled in the first stage and an additional 20 patients being enrolled in the second stage, if pre-determined efficacy endpoints in the first stage are realized.
The goals of this project are to: 1) explore the potential use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for improved prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization (CRT), and 2) use the MRI-derived data together with a computer model of the cardiovascular system to study the relative roles of different factors in the mechanical effects of dyssynchrony in failure, and in the response (or lack thereof) to CRT.
