Filter by:The aim of the research is to determine if participants who receive physical therapy (physiotherapy) including soft tissue mobilization, dry needling, Heavy slow load (eccentric-concentric) exercise (with hand weights specific to the biceps muscle) and a comprehensive rotator cuff and scapular stabilization program achieve greater reductions in pain and disability in the short (3-4 weeks) and long term (6 months) compared to those who receive soft tissue mobilization and a comprehensive rotator cuff and scapular stabilization program. Both treatment approaches are within the standard of care for physical therapists, the aim being to determine the most effective treatment approach. Study participants will be recruited form clinicians and flyers within the university/hospital organization where the study is taking place. Participants will be asked to attend 6 physical therapy visits and complete 6 surveys about their pain and disability.
This is a single center collection of discarded biological samples and electronic medical review (EMR) data on patients who are hospitalized with clostridium difficile infections and treated with Fidaxomicin
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that ticagrelor is superior to clopidogrel, in improving coronary microvascular function, as measured by coronary flow reserve (CFR) in patients with T2DM at high risk of cardiovascular (CV) events undergoing elective PCI.
Gastro-Intestinal Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GI-aGVHD) is a complication of allogeneic stem cell transplant which is usually treated with steroids. You are being asked to take part in this study because you have recently been diagnosed with GI-GVHD. The standard of care for GI-aGVHD is steroids. When aGVHD does not respond to steroids it is described as steroid-refractory aGVHD. There is no standard therapy for steroid-refractory GI-aGVHD. This study is a Phase II study. The main goal of a Phase II study is to see the efficacy and what side effects are seen with FMT as a treatment for GVHD. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is the transfer of fecal material from a healthy donor to a patient in order to restore the diversity of the intestinal microbiota. FMT is currently indicated for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium Difficile infection. FMT is considered experimental in this study, meaning it is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of GVHD.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and PEGPH20 work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. PEGPH20 is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid coating tumor cells which may inhibit growth of tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and PEGPH20 may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to pembrolizumab alone.
Previous study reported that propofol binded to glutamate receptors in the hypothalamus and inhibits AVP release mediated by endogenous γ-aminobutyric acid, as well as directly inhibits the regulated calcium currents leading to normal neuronal depolarization and AVP release. However, there is no clinical data demonstrating the mechanism of propofol can induce transient DI by inhibiting the release of AVP from the hypothalamus when applied to humans. Remifentanil, binding to the μ-receptor or partly κ-receptor, have been used in total intravenous anesthesia combined with propofol, also reported inhibiting AVP relaese in both the hypothalamus (κ receptor mediator mechanism) and posterior pituitary (μ receptor mediator mechanism). However, the effects of anesthetics on water homeostasis during surgery have been not well established. Therefore, we aim to investigate the changes of intraoperative water homeostasis, and related hormones and osmolality in patients with propofol based total intravenous anesthesia due to neuromonitoring for spine surgery.
The general purpose of this observational study is to examine biomarkers associated with the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases to potentially develop novel therapeutic approaches.
This phase II trial studies how well PAT-1251 works in treating patients with primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post-essential thrombocytosis myelofibrosis. PAT-1251 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a sponsor initiated, single site, first-in-human study of an investigational imaging agent for quantifying the topographically specific concentrations of the phosphodiesterase enzyme Type 4D (PDE4D) with positron emission tomography (PET) using a selective radioligand, [11C]T2310. T2310 will be measured with imaging techniques to characterize plasma exposure levels versus regionally specific target engagement fractions for oral doses of BPN14770, an investigational new drug (IND) for modulating PDE4D. BPN14770 is under evaluation for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
Study type: prospective cohort and randomized trial. Duration: estimated 2 years. Indications: Type II myocardial infarction in critically ill patients. Purpose: 1. To recognise the incidence of type I myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with suspected type II MI. 2. Determining the safety of early coronary angiography in this population. 3. Assessment of the effect of percutaneous coronary revascularization in critically ill patients with stable obstructive coronary disease and type II MI. Hypotheses: 1. Obstructive coronary artery disease suitable for percutaneous revascularization is present in majority of patients with type II MI. 2. Type I MI (acute coronary artery thrombosis) is present in some patients and not recognised. 3. Echocardiogram and a 12-lead electrocardiogram are not reliable in predicting coronary artery disease. 4. Urgent invasive diagnostic is safe in patients with type II MI. 5. Percutaneous revascularization (if indicated) reduces the size of myocardial necrosis in patients with type II MI. Objectives: - Primary endpoint: to demonstrate that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the group with obstructive coronary disease reduces the size of MI. - Secondary endpoints: improved cardiac function after revascularization, shorter hospitalization, reduced mortality. - Safety objective: renal function, bleeding complications. Population: 140 patients with type II MI over 18 years of age with no evidence of active bleeding. Inclusion criteria: - age> 18 years - High sensitive troponin I > 40 ng / L for women and > 58ng / L for men - Critical illness (at least one vital organ support) - Imaging signs (electrocardiogram or ultrasound) signs of myocardial ischemia Exclusion criteria: - active bleeding - terminal illness Monitoring of patients: during hospitalization, 30 days after discharge, 6 months after discharge. Performance check: - PCI success (% of "thrombolysis in myocardial infarction" flow 3) - the size of MI (troponin area under the curve) - left ventricular ejection fraction - hospital stay - 30 day survival Safety Check: - monitoring of renal function - monitoring of bleeding complications - monitoring of allergic reactions to contrast and medication Patient Consent: written informed consent for inclusion in the study in conscious population. In unconscious patients, written consent will be obtained in the event of mental function improvement.
