Filter by:To our knowledge, as of this day there are only four studies which examined the effects of eTRE with a duration of 12 weeks. There are no studies that examined this phenomenon beyond 12 weeks, one study that lasted five weeks and four studies that lasted 4 weeks or less, some even days. The four studies that lasted 12 weeks in duration all have opportunities to improve upon, which will be discussed here. The first study performed by Gabel et al., focused primarily on measuring body weight, not body composition in older adults. The eating window also began later in the morning at 1000h and finished at 1800h. There also was no restriction on participants consuming caffeine during the fasting window. The second study conducted by Gasmi et al., was focused on strictly older male participants that were active and healthy, again, without measuring body composition. The third study conducted by Wilkinson et al., did not measure body composition and the eating window lasted 10 hours instead of 8. The fourth study performed by Chow et al., examined eTRE with adults aged 45+/-12 years old and did not mention any exclusion criteria based upon physical activity levels or restrictions on caffeine/artificial sweetener intake during the fasting window. Furthermore, none of the studies mentioned above examined eTRE against lTRE directly. We believe that the proposed study will address the concerns mentioned previously and further knowledge associated with eTRE.
This study is a prospective, single center, single arm, phase II clinical study in patients with liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy for liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer about overall survival, and to determine the feasibility and safety of the scheme.
Aim of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sintilimab and pegaspargase in combination with pegaspargase for the initial treatment of previously untreated patients with limited stage NK/T cell lymphoma.All eligible patients will be treated with sintilimab combined with pegaspargase administered every 3 weeks for 4 cycles followed by standard radiotherapy with or without concurrent sintilimab and pegaspargase administered every 3 weeks. After radiotherapy, patients with complete remission with positive plasma EBV-DNA or partial response will continue with sintilimab maintenance up to 2 years.
The fixed-dose combination product Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Aerosol, BGF pMDI and dual combination product Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Aerosol , GFF pMDI are developed for maintenance treatment for patients with COPD. There are still some unmet medical needs and evidence gaps in COPD therapy, such as could BGF Inhalation Aerosphere reverse the disease progression such like airway-remodelling? Could BGF Inhalation Aerosphere reduce inflammation in small airways? Before differences proven between medication groups, pilot study is needed. This 52 weeks, Single-center, prospective, interventional pilot study could help discovering intervention effect of BGF and GFF on small airways through OCT measurement, which would show outcome of AEROSPHERE™ Delivery Technology on COPD patients.
Dose of anticoagulant prophylaxis in patients with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration may be insufficient to keep anti-Xa factor activity in prophylactic range.
Fast access to the Emergency Medical Communication Center (EMCC) is essential for the population in emergency situation. It is therefore essential that these call centers operate quickly and provide good quality service. However, in recent years, EMCCs have experienced a constant and increasing demand from the population. Thus, maintaining the current organization of emergency medical communication centers raises questions about both the volume of incoming calls to EMCCs and the economic constraints, which make it difficult to manage call peaks, especially in periods of crisis. The aim of our study is to assess the impact of incoming call distribution virtualization in EMCCs on their service quality.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a disease known for repeated relapses and remissions. So, meticulous follow-up is required to individualize treatment plans according to the status of each patient. The currently used investigations are invasive, costy, and carry the risk of several side effects, making it difficult for the patient to adhere to his continuous follow-up. Aim: To evaluate the viability of fecal lactoferrin, serum ferritin, and IL6 as noninvasive markers for detecting the activity and follow-up the patients of ulcerative colitis during remission.
The investigators intend to assess if hysteroscopic evacuation of gestational tissue, is possible as a tool for early induced abortion with a hysteroscopic morcellator rather than with a traditional dilation and curettage procedure. The investigators hypothesize that induced abortion under vision with hysteroscopic guidance may provide benefits over the traditional "blind" procedure
Despite evidence for ICBT among those with other chronic conditions, its efficacy has yet to be evaluated among those with neurological conditions, including stroke. The aim of the current study is to pilot a tailored ICBT program developed through a patient oriented approach to improve overall wellbeing among those with stroke living in the community.
The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of the experimental Intermittent Colonic Exoperistalsis (ICE) treatment with MOWOOT, with the active control of trans-anal irrigation (TAI) as standard-of-care. The secondary objectives are to further compare the ICE treatment with MOWOOT to the TAI standard-of-care clinically and economically.
