Filter by:The therapeutic education of patients and their close relations is, as yet, poorly developed in France in the field of oncology (Pérol2007), in particular for cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract (Allison2010). In the case of pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, total laryngectomy associated with radiotherapy remains a reference treatment for advanced stage cancers. This mutilating surgical procedure has a major impact on the patient's life, due to its physical and functional sequelae: phonatory (loss of physiological voice), feeding, olfactory and aesthetic (tracheostomy). Its psychosocial consequences are also important, owing to the biographical disruption and the identity-related metamorphoses associated with illness and its treatment, which alter the quality of life not only of patients, but also of their close relations. Indeed, transformation is not only at individual level, it also impacts the life of close relations, in particular spouses, who share the day-to-day lives of patients (Babin 2010). Currently, care for laryngectomized patients consist essentially in informing and educating them on certain technical procedures (cannula replacement, mucosity aspiration, tracheostomy or phonatory implant cleaning) during hospital admission. Such education may be formalized and dispensed within the context of a therapeutic education program. The issue of this study will be to determine what therapeutic education program we should offer patients and their close relations in order to accompany them throughout their experience of laryngectomy and to reduce its impact on social and professional aspects of life.
- Assess the efficacy of the endoscope as a single tool or as an adjuvant tool to the microscope in intraventricular procedures. - Evaluate the limitations of the endoscope in these procedures. - Review the outcome of endoscopic and/or endoscopic assisted microsurgical intraventricular procedures. - Achieve a verdict in the long-standing controversy about the most effective, least invasive, and optimal way to resect intraventricular lesions, can the endoscope rival the surgical microscope?
The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab Injection in combination with chemotherapy compared to placebo in combination with chemotherapy in subjects with PD-L1-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have received no previous systemic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical and real world evidence for the optimization of antiviral treatment by IFN combined with Nucleosides analog in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients aged 1-16 years,so that the functional cure could be achieved in the greatest extent in pediatric patients
Multicenter ,open-label, multi-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with wAMD treated with intravitreal recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody(SCT510A)
Evaluation of the influence of the diuretic injection timing (F+0 Vs F-15) on the dynamic 99mTc- DTPA renal scintigraphy for the diagnosis of suspected obstructive uropathy in adult hydronephrotic patients.
The effects of exercises performed by telerehabilitation on individuals with hand-affected scleroderma on range of motion, grip strength, function, sensation, daily life activities and general health will be compared with the effects of traditional physiotherapy practices.
Chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a very common complication in preterm infants born at a young gestational age, and is a serious disease that impairs respiratory long-term outcome and is associated with higher-frequency neurodevelopmental injury. Lowering the incidence of BPD may improve the health of the preterm babies and neurodevelopmental delay of preterm infants.Vitamin A deficiency may be one of the factors associated with the development of BPD in preterm infants. According to the literature, oral vitamin A administration can lower the incidence of BPD. In our study we plan to give 5000 units of retinol / dose / day, every day for 28 days.
An observational Cross-sectional Study to compare the accuracy and reliability of the automatic registration of digital dental model to CBCT image versus the semiautomatic point-based registration.
This study is a one arm, open, single center phase II study. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the tolerance and preliminary efficacy of shr1316 combined with chest radiotherapy after induction therapy.
