Filter by:Severe ischemic changes of the liver remnant after hepatectomy could expedite tumor recurrence on the residual liver. Our study aimed at assessing the effect of warm ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries on surgery-to-local recurrence interval and patient overall survival, during major hepatectomies under inflow and outflow vascular control.
Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for about 2% of all strokes, and is a major cause of stroke in young people (about 15%). Many cases of CAD during pregnancy and puerperium have been described, suggesting that pregnancy and puerperium may be potential risk factors for CAD. The purpose of this study is to determine whether pregnancy and puerperium are also recurrence risk factors for CAD.
Recurrent vasovagal syncope although presenting a benign prognosis in terms of survival, is associated with significant impairment of quality of life. The impaired emotional status is also related to the recurrence of the events, closing a negative cycle for the evolution of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of psychotherapy on the quality of life and in the number of syncope and pre-syncope events during one year of follow-up of patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope.
Nowadays endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the gold standard for the removal of large laterally spreading and sessile colorectal lesions ≥ 20 mm. However, recurrence rate after successful EMR (defined by the absence of neoplastic tissue at the completion of the procedure after careful inspection of the post-EMR mucosal defect and margin) is about 15-20%. Consequently, current guidelines recommend a surveillance colonoscopy between 4 and 6 months after resection for detection of residual or recurrent polyp. There are few studies that have examined the accuracy of advanced endoscopic imaging for the prediction of histological recurrence but none of these imaging modalities have been validated for surveillance after EMR. Therefore, current guidelines strongly recommend systematic biopsy of EMR scar. The main aim of this study is to assess the incremental benefit of narrow band imaging (NBI) and white light endoscopy (WLE) randomizing the initial technique for the endoscopic detection of post-EMR recurrence and to asses if this advanced imaging method achieve sufficient diagnostic accuracy to exclude recurrence without the need for biopsy.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate a web-based relapse management programme, which is easily accessible for people with multiple sclerosis. The trial is accompanied by a mixed-methods process evaluation and a health economic evaluation. It is expected that the programme will positively change patients' relapse management and strengthen their autonomy and participation.
Recurrent miscarriage affects women of childbearing age worldwide. Vascular endothelial dysfunction and immunological impairment are associated with recurrent miscarriage To date, there is no effective or optimal therapeutic approach for these condition. Hydroxychloroquine has endothelial protective action via ant diabetic, lipid lowering, antioxidant effects or direct endothelial protection. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial and immunomodulatory agent. In pregnancy, hydroxychloroquine is prescribed for inflammatory conditions associated with adverse perinatal outcomes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome and placental inflammatory lesions such as chronic histiocytic intervillositis, hydroxychloroquine has therapeutic potential to improve placental function in pregnancies associated with heightened inflammation.
An antimalarial drug efficacy trial was conducted for artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and chloroquine (CQ) in the three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brookes and Rizal) of Palawan. Study subjects are febrile individuals between > 6 months old and 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. falciparum or P. vivax infections. Patients with P. falciparum was treated with Artemether-lumefantrine administered 3 days (Days 0, 1 and 2) according to body weight. Primaquine at 0.75 mg base/kg body weight single dose was given on Day 3. For Plasmodium vivax patients chloroquine were administered according to body weight at a total dose of 25 mg/kg over 3 days (10 mg/kg on Day 0; 10 mg/kg on Day 1 and 5 mg/kg on Day 2), and primaquine following the National Treatment Guidelines. During the period that this report covers, 84 and 75 patients met the inclusion criteria for Pf and Pv respectively. Clinical and parasitological parameters were monitored over a 28-day follow-up period for both drugs. The presence of only 1 Late Clinical Failure (LCF) of P. falciparum parasitemia out of 84 enrolled patients and 2 Late Parasitological Failure (LPF) of P. vivax patients out of 75 enrolled patients within the 28 days follow up suggest that both drugs are still efficacious.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well bintrafusp alfa and stereotactic body radiation therapy work in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has occurred after having cancer in the past (second primary). Immunotherapy with bintrafusp alfa may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving bintrafusp alfa and stereotactic body radiation therapy may help to control recurrent head and neck squamous cell cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of 68GA-PSMA-11 PET imaging in patients with prostate cancer that has come back (recurrent). Gallium (68Ga) is a radiotracer that binds to a molecule, PSMA, that is found in abundance on most prostate cancer cells. PSMA is short for 'prostate specific membrane antigen'. Diagnostic procedures, such as 68GA-PSMA-11 PET imaging, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment, and may help plan the best treatment for prostate cancer.
This project aims to develop an adapted and enhanced mHealth couple intervention to prevent post-partum smoking relapse.
