Filter by:The present investigation constitutes a prospective cohort study. The objectives encompass the assessment of miRNA expression levels in total exosomes derived from peripheral circulation tissues of stage III definite KRT NSCLC patients both at the beginning and conclusion of their treatment. Furthermore, an exploration is conducted into the potential correlation existing between alterations in miRNA levels and the incidence of acute treatment-related side effects.
Carvedilol has emerged as the preferred non-selective β-blocker (NSBB) for treating portal hypertension. However, there is still a debate in dosing regimen, specially regarding dose interval, with a potential lower bioavalability in once daily regimens. The aim of this study is to assess the acute effects of carvedilol posology in patients with clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), as a surrogate marker of bioavailability. In this experimental study, patients with CSPH receiving carvedilol twice daily were asked to supress the night dose of carvedilol, in order to have a dose interval of approximately 24 hours. Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) by transient elastography (TE) was performed and compared with SSM prior or under treatment. Same procedure was applied to liver stiffness measurement (LSM).
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the developmental level between 1-18 months and gross motor performance in the preschool period in risky infants followed up from a center for early intervention, and to determine the risk of developmental coordination disorder in the preschool period in risky infants.Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 will be applied to children diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the pre-school period to evaluate motor performance, among risky infants evaluated by Alberta Infant Motor Scale between 1-18 months. Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire will be applied to healthy children in order to evaluate the risk of gross motor performance and developmental coordination disorder.
"Nuestras Historias" curriculum is a tablet-based digital story curriculum that was created through community-based participatory methods. It uses narrative videos to teach about local prenatal health issues in the Parinari District of Peru. This study aims to assess the impact of "Nuestras Historias" on pregnant women and their partners by measuring participants' changes in prenatal health knowledge, attitudes and behavioral intentions for pregnancy and birth after exposure to the curriculum. The study uses a cluster-randomized design, in which communities were match-paired and then randomized for pregnant women/partners to receive the "Nuestras Historias" curriculum vs. standard prenatal health teaching, delivered by local community health workers.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of liver cancer and is one of the leading causes of global cancer death. Surgical resection of the afflicted areas of the liver is one of the treatment methods for this condition. In this retrospective research, the investigators explore the outcomes of liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing liver resection from 2010 to 2021 in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta. The main outcome is mortality and the secondary outcomes are factors predicting mortality after resection.
A randomized, 2-part, 2-sequence, 2-period, open-label, crossover study evaluating the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ORIC-114 tablet formulation in healthy adult subjects.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of shear-wave elastography for the diagnosis and staging of breast cancer related lymphedema by assessing the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the arm and forearm, which could serve as a reference standard and be more easily applicable in daily life; and to investigate the relationship between the patients' symptoms and elastographic measurements.
Based on data on a cohort of 2,141 patients undergoing elective colonic cancer resection in an ERAS program, the incidence of postoperative thromboembolic events is estimated in patients no receiving prolonged thromboembolic prophylaxis.
Introduction: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood and adolescence (5%) with associated difficulties and worse prognosis if undetected. Multimodal treatment is the treatment of choice, however, sometimes it can be insufficient or have some drawbacks. Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive training through the video game 'The Secret Trail of Moon' (MOON) in improving emotional regulation of ADHD in people aged 7 to 18 years. Hypotheses: H1: ADHD patients using MOON improve their emotional regulation more than the control group; H2: ADHD patients using MOON improve in symptomatology with respect to the control group; H3: ADHD patients using MOON improve their cognitive abilities than the control group; H4: ADHD patients using MOON improve in academic performance with respect to the control group; H5: The change of platform (face-to-face, online) does not entail differences in emotional regulation; H6: There are no side effects associated with the video game. Methods: Design: prospective, unicenter, randomized, unblinded, PRE-POST intervention study. Randomization of the groups (MOON vs. Control) will be performed by electronic CRD. The MOON intervention will be performed 2 times/week for 10 weeks (30 minutes/session). The first five weeks (10 sessions) will be conducted face-to-face; the remaining weeks will be conducted online at the participants' home. Sample: 152 patients with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD (CGI between 3 and 6) with pharmacological treatment. Evaluation: a data collection notebook will be used to obtain demographic and clinical data. The data will be recorded with electronic CRD (REDCap). Measures to answer the hypotheses will be made through clinical scales for parents and objective tests of cognitive abilities in patients. Additional information on academic performance will be collected. Statistical power analysis: The study has a power greater than 80% to detect differences. Statistical analysis: Classical statistics: T student, 2-factor ANOVA and Mann Whitney analyses will be performed according to the characteristics of each variable. Ethics: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro on December 14th, 2022. The authorization of the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products was February 14th, 2023. Informed consent will be requested from legal guardians and minors protecting their personal data to the provisions of the Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December, on Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights.
The objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy (primary endpoint: overall survival), safety (secondary endpoint) and the medico-economic impact (secondary endpoint) of nanoliposomal irinotecan combined with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid in clinical practice
