Filter by:To develop and investigate an unobtrusive technology for long-term monitoring of autonomic nervous system (ANS) function's response to daily physical stressors and exercise training for elderly patients with different frailty stages.
The study will provides the enrollment of patients with genetic retinal dystrophies with primary rod impairment and dry age-related macular degeneration (Geographic type) A subretinal injection of umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP) will be performed only in one eye, the other eye will be considered as a control group. A complete morpho-functional ophthalmological evaluation will be performed in all patients at each control.
Etoposide-cisplatin/ -carboplatin in combination with PD-L1 inhibitor for 4 cycles followed by maintenance therapy with PD-L1 inhibitor is currently the world-wide first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. When 4 cycles of EC/EP chemotherapy combined with PD-L1 inhibitor are effective, guidelines recommend additional thoracic radiotherapy. In our study, the investigators bring radiotherapy forward, which means that after 2 cycles of EC/EP chemotherapy plus Atezolizumab, participants with response（PR/CR/SD）will receive concurrent radiotherapy and 2 cycles of EC/EP chemotherapy plus Atezolizumab, then maintenance therapy with Atezolizumab （Q3W）. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of Atezolizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in untreated participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
Low-dose glucocorticoid treatment is the only intervention shown to significantly reduce mortality in cases of COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen supplementation or ventilatory support. In particular, a large UK randomized controlled trial (RECOVERY trial) demonstrated the efficacy of dexamethasone at a dosage of 6mg/day for 10 days in reducing mortality compared to usual therapy, with a greater impact on patients requiring mechanical ventilation (36% reduction) or oxygen therapy (18% reduction) than on those who did not need respiratory support (doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2021436). However, there is still paucity of information guiding glucocorticoid administration in severe pneumonia/ARDS and no evidence of the superiority of a steroid drug -nor of a therapeutic scheme- compared to the others, which led to a great heterogeneity of treatment protocols and misinterpretation of available findings. In a recent longitudinal observational study conducted in Italian respiratory high-dependency units, a protocol with prolonged low-dose methylprednisolone demonstrated a 71% reduction in mortality and the achievement of other secondary endpoints such as an increase in ventilation-free days by study day 28 in a subgroup of patients with severe pneumonia and high levels of systemic inflammation (doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa421). The treatment was well tolerated and did not affect viral shedding from the airways. In light of these data, the present study aims to compare the efficacy of a methylprednisolone protocol and that of a dexamethasone protocol based on previous evidence in increasing survival by day 28, as well as in reducing the need and duration for mechanical ventilation, among hospitalized patients requiring noninvasive respiratory support (oxygen supplementation and/or noninvasive ventilation).
To assess the important anatomical structures involved in the treatment planning of immediate implants, particularly the jumping gap distance at the different maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone using CBCT analysis. Additional relevant radiographic aspects are evaluated as well to aid in decision making related to immediate implants.
This was an open-label, multi-center, FIH study with a single ascending dose (SAD) design that assessed the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single IVT dose of MHU650 in up to 24 participants with macular edema.
study the effect of behavioral therapy and interferential current on management of bladder dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis
To evaluate a Novel infusion protocol in MS patients treated with Alemtuzumab
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of implanting an engineered cartilage tissue in an interposition graft with a temporoparietal fascia (TPF) flap to repair medium size septal perforation. The engineered cartilage graft is obtained by culturing expanded autologous nasal chondrocytes within a collagen type I/III membrane. In addition, first data on efficacy will be collected.
To investigate the effect of intercostal blockade with and without adjuvants.
