Filter by:Coronary artery calcification is a sign of heart disease. A nuclear medicine PET-CT test using sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) radioisotope has been shown to help identify growing calcification plaques early on in the disease process. It is known that diabetic patients are at a high risk of developing premature coronary disease; the investigators intend to use this new technology to identify those patients at higher risk of developing coronary artery disease.
The purpose of this study is to help us learn what are the best services to promote young children's healthy development for families who are experiencing homelessness. Participants may participate in three programs: 1. Healthy Home: four weekly, one-hour group sessions on health topics; 2. Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC): 10, one-hour parenting with parent and child; 3. Healthy Steps: helps families identify, understand and manage parenting challenges completed at well child visits. Participants will be asked to complete surveys, participate in focus groups, and interviews about the experiences with the services offered. Questionnaires about understanding health issues and surveys about parenting behaviors and self-efficacy will also be completed. Study duration is approximately 10 - 12 weeks. Programs may be continued once families move into permanent housing.
In Siewert type I/II EAC, sensitivity/specificity of CT, PET-CT, EUS for assessment of N descriptor in defined groups of lymph nodes were investigated.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy (by monitoring overall improvement of EB symptoms) and safety (by monitoring adverse events) of three doses of allo-APZ2-EB administered intravenously to patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).
This study aims to conduct an initial evaluation of whether online self-help can improve the quality of life of parents of children with food allergies.
The study is a prospective randomised controlled intervention comparing the intraocular pressure outcomes following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) treatment of 180 degrees SLT compared to 360 degrees in treatment naive patients with bilateral ocular hypertension or primary open angle glaucoma . The right eye of each patient will be randomised to receive either 180 or 360 degrees SLT, while the fellow eye will receive the opposite treatment. That is, if the right eye is randomised to 180 degrees SLT, then the left eye will receive 360 degrees SLT. The primary objective is to assess the mean difference in intraocular pressure between two eyes of each participant. The mean difference in IOP will be assessed at two weeks and at one, three and six months after treatment with SLT. Secondary outcomes include assessing whether there are differences in visual acuity, anterior chamber inflammation, visual field progression and the rate of complications between the two eyes treated with either 180° or 360° of selective laser trabeculoplasty. The complications assessed are those published in the literature including: pain, blurred vision, anterior chamber inflammation, IOP spike, and hyphaema. Additionally, participants will be given the opportunity to report symptoms experienced through free text.
The study compares two intensive outpatient behavioral programs (Massed Prolonged Exposure versus Intensive Outpatient Prolonged Exposure) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in post-9/11 active duty service members and veterans. The researchers hope to learn if these programs improve treatment outcomes. The researchers predict that Intensive Outpatient Prolonged Exposure (IOP-PE) will be better at treating PTSD than Massed-Prolonged Exposure (Massed PE).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot project to improve communication and teamwork and to increase vaginal delivery rates at hospital in the United States
Metastatic pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat. Until recently, most patients would be offered treatment with a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine. However, a large international trial showed that combining gemcitabine with a drug called nab-paclitaxel (or abraxane) was more effective compared with gemcitabine alone. The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of combining gemcitabine with abraxane. Conventionally, both drugs are given on the same day via a drip into a vein in the arm but research suggests that giving abraxane 24 hours in advance of gemcitabine could possibly be more beneficial. In this study, blood and tumour samples will be collected and analysed to try to confirm what has been seen in the laboratory studies. In addition, the investigators wish to find out whether certain tumour characteristics (called biomarkers) can be used to predict for response to chemotherapy.
The main purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility and effects of tamoxifen in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study will evaluate how well the drug is tolerated, and its impact on functional condition and selected biomarkers. Changes in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and other parameters determined by transthoracic echocardiography will be evaluated as well as changes in additional metrics such as six minute walk test distance, quality of life assessments, and hormone levels.
