Filter by:Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a commonly undiagnosed and potentially fatal disease. Contemporary studies on this condition often underrepresent the female gender and diverse patient populations. This registry retrospectively evaluated patients referred for 99mTc-pyrophosphate (PYP) Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) between 2014 and 2023 at Montefiore-Einstein in the Bronx. The patient population is racially and ethnically diverse and with a high proportion of females. Demographic, clinical (e.g. comorbidities), laboratory, echocardiographic, hospitalization, and mortality data were collected for each patient.
The clinical trial is a dose-escalation, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study at a single center to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of HIV Therapeutic DNA Vaccine, ICVAX, in clinically stable HIV patients under ART treatment.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if the sequential administration of focused shock wave therapy and of a rehabilitation program based on the strengthening of gluteal muscles is more effective than a standard shock wave treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Fatigue is among the most frequently reported sequelae in stroke survivors. For a specific stroke diagnosis, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), fatigue, in general, is reported to be present in 30 to 90% of the patients. It is the mental fatigue component that significantly contributes to difficulties that patients with aSAH face when returning to normal life. However, there is substantial variation in the reported incidence of mental fatigue (25%-60%), which may be attributed to several methodological factors, such as differences in the follow-up periods and instruments used. Consequently, a complete understanding of how mental fatigue influences long-term recovery remains elusive. This research project will contribute to new and important knowledge in long-term effects after SAH when it comes to mental fatigue. In this study patients surviving an SAH will be assessed for mental fatigue at 5 years after the insult. The patients have previously been assessed at 1 and 3 years. All patients have been treated at Sahlgrenska University Hospital during the acute phase after SAH. Follow-up is performed after 5 years after aSAH through a structured telephone interview, where patients are scored using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) Additionally, the patients receive a self-assessment questionnaire, the Mental Fatigue Scale, Patients are reminded to return the questionnaires at three times. This study aims to determine the long-term prevalence, severity, and dynamics of mental fatigue at 1, 3, and 5 years after an aSAH. The study also aims to identify whether demographic characteristics and secondary complications or diagnoses after aSAH can be associated with an increased risk of developing mental fatigue or unfavourable outcome.
In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 326 patients with ADHD will be investigated regarding the effectiveness of a digital therapeutic for improved ADHD symptomatology, the unguided online intervention attexis. Inclusion criteria are: male, female or non-binary, age 18-65, diagnosis of ADHD, elevated levels of ADHD symptoms (score of ≥17 either on the inattention subscale or on the impulsivity/hyperactivity subscale of the ASRS v1.1), stable treatment for at least 30 days at time of inclusion, sufficient German skills, and consent to participation. Exclusion criteria are: Diagnosis of any other severe psychiatric disorder and plans to change treatment in the upcoming three months. Patients will be randomized and allocated to either an intervention group, receiving access to attexis in addition to TAU, or a control group, receiving access to TAU only. Primary endpoint will be self-rated ADHD symptomatology, assessed via the ASRS v1.1, with three months post-allocation being the primary time point for assessment of effectiveness. Six months post allocation will be used as a timepoint for follow-up assessment of endpoints. Secondary endpoints will be depressive symptoms, self-esteem, work and social functioning, and health-related quality of life.
This study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of SC MK-3475A vs intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab, administered with chemotherapy in first line treatment of adult Japanese participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The primary hypotheses of this study are MK-3475A subcutaneous (SC) is noninferior to pembrolizumab IV with respect to PK parameters.
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm clinical study. All patients were diagnosed with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and only subjects who met the instrument indications of this study were treated. After signing an informed consent form, subjects are enrolled and treated with the DragonFire Transcatheter Myocardial Ablation System. All subjects receive clinical follow-up immediately after the procedure, before discharge, 30 days after the procedure, 6 months after the procedure, and 12 months after the procedure.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference of the gastric volume by quantitative measurements of gastric antrum preoperatively and postoperatively by using 5mg famotidine versus placebo as a risk factor of PONV.
The research project is focused on examining the clinical effectiveness of an enhanced ultrasound dynamic needle tip positioning method for guiding distal radial artery puncture and catheterization. Anticipated results suggest that the improved ultrasound dynamic needle tip positioning method will surpass tactile guidance in terms of the success rate of the first puncture attempt, as well as overall puncture and catheterization success rates.
This will be an open label, Phase I study to assess the efficacy of a reduced 500 mg dose of abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Eligible metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients newly initiated on abiraterone acetate treatment will be recruited to receive a reduced 500 mg dose of abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone. The study treatment duration will span 12 weeks, after which patients being administered the reduced dose will be reverted to the standard 1000 mg dosing. Follow-up for mCRPC and mHSPC patients will last for 18 and 36 months respectively. The main question the study aims to answer is whether dose reduction of abiraterone acetate to 500 mg would achieve antitumor activity in mCRPC and mHPSC patients comparable to standard of care.
