Filter by:The investigators' objective is to implement an innovative curriculum in narrative medicine for pediatric residents rotating at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), and to evaluate whether this curriculum is protective against burnout and diminished quality of life during that rotation as measured on The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and The Professional Quality of Life Scale: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Fatigue Scale Version V (ProQOL R-V).
This clinical trial evaluates the clinical outcome of mucosal sparing adjuvant radiotherapy after surgical exploration in HPV+ head and neck cancer of unknown primaries. The purpose of this research is to assess if radiation treatment to the neck only for tumors with unclear original locations after careful surgical evaluation will lead to historical rates of disease control while reducing side effects and toxicity from treatment.
The present is a followup study that aims at investigating the effect of genetic and environmental factors on the possible development of psychopathological conditions in a longitudinal perspective. The final goal is to understand those factors that causing vulnerability to mental illness, eventually allowing better prevention and early detections of those persons with mental illness.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French Agency of Biomedicine has recommended maintaining fertility preservation for patients requiring immediate oncological treatments exhibiting gonadotoxic effects. However, no study has examined the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sperm from cancer patients. This study aims therefore to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, specifically in the seminal fluid and the spermatozoa fractions of cancer patient semen. The investigators will determine if the virus presence in sperm is associated with its presence in the nasal swabs, COVID symptoms, specific serological profiles and particular oncological pathologies/treatments.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of an active voiding trial compared to a passive voiding trial on time to discharge following a planned same day discharge laparoscopic hysterectomy. The investigators hypothesize that performing an active voiding trial will assess urinary function and lead to a reduction in length of stay.
A cross-sectional, non-interventional study to assess walking performance, vascular function, and lower limb calcification in subjects with peripheral artery disease and end-stage kidney disease (PAD-ESKD) receiving hemodialysis.
This phase II trial investigates how well azacitidine, venetoclax, and trametinib work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax and trametinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The goal of this study is learn if the combination of azacitidine, venetoclax, and trametinib can help to control acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Hypotension after spinal anesthesia is associated with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, especially in hypovolemic patients. Ultrasonographic measurement of internal jugular vein (IJV) has been recently shown as effective in predicting the intravascular volume status. The aim was to investigate the reliability of preanesthetic ultrasound measurements of IJV in predicting hypotension after spinal anesthesia.
Increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA) has been previously demonstrated in patients with lower limb amputation. Although there are many studies on knee joint of intact limb of amputees in the literature, the number of studies on intact foot and ankle is extremely limited. The primary aim of the study is to compare the intact talar cartilage, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle thickness measurements of traumatic unilateral transtibial amputee patients with that of healthy individuals using ultrasound. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between cartilage and muscle thickness measurements with clinical parameters.
This study evaluates the effects of a high-intensity strength training in patients with myositis with the primary outcome being quality of life (SF-36). The study is designed as a parallel group randomised controlled trial with an intervention group and a control group.
