Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying medical records and collecting questionnaires from patients who were enrolled as children in clinical trials for acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors learn about long-term effects of treatment and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the long-term outcomes of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were enrolled as children on clinical trials EORTC-58741, EORTC-58831, EORTC-58832, or EORTC-58881 between 1971 and 1998.
The goal of the study is the evaluation of the air handling of a "new" type of oxygenator versus the standard model. The new type has an integrated arterial filter. The standard model has a non integrated arterial line filter. If the air handling is as effective/ better than in the standard model this can lead to reduction of cardiopulmonary bypass circuits with their initiation of systemic inflammatory response and improve cardiopulmonary bypass safety.
Specific Aim 1 - In collaboration with partners in Ross County, renovate and develop playgrounds in Chillicothe. Specific Aim 2 - In collaboration with partners in Ross County, promote safe play and play areas for children on farms.
Charcot−Marie−Tooth neuropathy type 1A (CMT1A) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an innovative rehabilitation protocol constituted by exercises at the treadmill and by a stretching and proprioceptive approach. A total of 92 patients will be enrolled in the study and treated in a controlled, randomized, single blind, way. To recruit a high number of patients with CMT1A the study will be multicentric and will comprehend four of the most active clinical centers in the field of CMT, in Italy. People with CMT1A are very motivated in entering rehabilitation protocols because to date there is no effective therapy for this disease. Therefore, the investigators expect a high compliance by the patients. With the present project the investigators plan to clarify several unanswered questions: 1) the efficacy and safety of treadmill over a more conventional protocol; 2) the duration and frequency of any rehabilitation treatment; 3) the most sensitive outcome measures to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation approach in patients with CMT.
Polyomavirus BK nephropathy is a serious complication after renal transplantation leading to graft loss in 40% of cases. Since no virustatic drug exists, the investigators want to study the best way to manage viral invasion by changing the immunosuppressive treatment comparing two treatment schemes. The investigators hypothesis is that switching to an mTOR-based scheme is superior to a general decrease of a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based scheme. The study will be performed as a prospective, randomized, parallel group comparison.
Open label study to evaluate long term treatment effect of diapep277.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) resolution in morbidly obese patients following bariatric surgery suggests the efficacy of metabolic surgery in non-morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI]<35 kg/m2). Many researches have shown available evidence about the efficacy and safety of metabolic surgery for resolution of T2DM in the non-morbidly obese. One of the most effective metabolic surgeries is laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The investigators intend to run a 3 year prospective multicenter study to evaluate the remission efficacy of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus with low BMI (BMI:25-35) in Asia area.
Sixty two subjects will take part in this study. The study is unic arm. The subjects used the product once and will be evaluated in the regression of pimples in the times 0,4,6,8 and 24 hours after application. A follow-up visit will be made 24 hours after initiation of treatment.
This study is going to determine the efficacy, tolerability and safety of ziprasidone in 120 schizophrenic patients with depressive symptoms. The study will be carried out at 2 mental centers in China. Subjects will be required to attend the center at screening, baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4 ,6 and 8 or early termination visit. At screening, patients underwent psychiatric and physical examination, standard lab tests, and an Electrocardiograph. At baseline, if they continued to be eligible, they began ziprasidone 20 mg twice daily. Depending on response and tolerability, ziprasidone could be gradually escalated to a maximum of 80 mg twice daily.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common indication for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in young children. According to previous studies, as much as 8 to 20% of patients will develop post operative respiratory complications requiring medical intervention. The pre-operative risk factors that could predict respiratory complications retrospectively analyzed were young age, obesity and high preoperative apnea-hypopnea index. Despite the removal of obstructing lymphoid tissue, upper airway obstruction occurs on the first postoperative night in children with OSA. There is a debate regarding the post-operative duration and monitoring needed in children with OSA. Hypothesis: Pre-operative, operative and immediate post-operative parameters could predict post tonsillectomy respiratory complications.
