Filter by:This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab with or with ipilimumab works in treating patients with liver cancer that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The aim of this study is to find strategy for treatment through comparing the cardiopulmonary exercise test parameters before and after cardiac rehabilitation in patients with chronic total occlusion of the coronary arteries.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of F-Composite 2 system in Class I and Class II cavities in permanent teeth. The materials of the system can be polymerized in short time with a curing light which is part of the system. The study will be carried out as a prospective study, with evaluation of the restorations after 7-10 days (baseline), at 6 months, at 12 months, at 24 months and 60 months according to defined criteria.
Humidified Nasal High-flow with Oxygen (HNHF-O2) therapy has been reported to have acute beneficial effects in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure who have been hospitalized. The usefulness of this therapy in the outpatient setting is unproven. This pilot study will test the feasibility of using this therapy in the outpatient setting and its effects on sleep.
This study evaluates the effect of the use of nasal CPAP in the cardiac function, measured by strain and TEI index, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. In order to do so, 76 patients will be studied, half will use sham CPAP and half will use therapeutic CPAP for three months, with echocardiogram, laboratory studies, ambulatory monitoring of arterial tension and sleep study before and after CPAP use.
Long-term proton pump inhibitor use has been linked to intestinal dysbiosis, inflammation and gastrointestinal symptoms. Probiotics has been shown to correct dysbiosis, reduce inflammation and strengthen the gut barrier. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of a three months intervention with a probiotic on intestinal inflammation, bowel symptoms, dysbiosis and gut permeability.
The objective of the study is to evaluate influence of perioperative fluid therapy on Methemoglobin levels, and to changes in hemoglobin. Further, changes in Methemoglobin will be related to metabolic signs of oxidative stress (changes in blood lactate). Patients undergoing major abdominal surgery will be included into the study.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if the new Brillouin Ocular Scanner can measure the variation (difference) of the corneal elastic changes involved in the onset of corneal ectasia, induced by LASIK surgery and cornea collagen crosslinking (CXL) treatment. Ectasia refers to the thinning and bulging of the cornea and results in severe vision degradation (loss), which may occur because of a progressive disease (keratoconus) or because of LASIK surgery. It is believed that the structural weakening of the cornea plays a major role in developing ectasia. CXL is a treatment that is able to halt the progression of ectasia. The Brillouin Ocular Scanner is a technique based on the principles used in the laser speed measuring of a car (radar gun). When laser light illuminates a moving sample, a portion of the light slightly changes color. In our body, e.g in eye and corneal tissue, very weak sound waves are naturally present and they can induce a similar color shift. Measuring this color shift with a sensitive light color meter (spectrometer), we will measure the sound speed in the tissue.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness group training for children (8-16 years old) with ADHD in combination with a parallel mindful parenting training for their parents. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the mindfulness training in addition to care-as-usual (CAU); the other half to CAU-only. The hypothesis is that compared to care-as-usual only, the addition of the mindfulness training will improve self-control of youth with ADHD.
The purpose of this clinical research is to confirm the optimal dose of 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan (68Ga-IPN01070), formerly 68Ga-OPS202, as a PET imaging agent to be used to detect and localize gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). 68Ga-IPN01070 is a radiolabelled imaging agent to be used in association with Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET). 68Ga-IPN01070 is made of two main components: 1) IPN01070, an antagonistic somatostatin analogue which binds to the somatostatin receptor (type 2) present on the surface of the tumor cells and 2) Gallium-68, a radioisotope that combined with IPN01070 can be seen in the PET scanner.
