Filter by:As low back pain is often a recurrent and sometime persistent problem, research into prevention is important. Chiropractors have traditionally treated patients with maintenance care, which means that patients are seen on a regular basis to prevent recurrences or to stop a persistent problem getting worse. However, it is not known if this has the expected effect. This study will test the effectiveness of the maintenance care approach. Patients with recurrent or persistent low back pain will be treated in accordance with two different models. The first model is the maintenance care model, meaning that chiropractors will see the patient on a regular basis, regardless symptoms. The other model means that patients should be treated patients only when they themselves experience symptoms bad enough to seek care. After one year, it will be possible to see if there has been any difference between the groups in terms of pain, disability, quality of life and total number of treatments over the study period and to investigate if there is any difference in the cost-effectiveness between the two treatment models.Thus, the study hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two models regarding the number of days with pain. This study will be a multi-centre trial, and as part of the study, it will be necessary to formalize a network of research clinics all over Sweden in which participating chiropractors accept to perform complex data collection. This network will then have the expertise and potential to perform future clinical studies together with networks in other countries, allowing large clinical trials across countries.
This is a cohort observational study investigating the rate of tuberculosis (TB) recurrence in adult patients who have completed TB therapy for Pulmonary TB (PTB) and are on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of TB recurrence in patients on HAART.The study is being conducted at the CAPRISA eThekwini Clinical Research Site (CRS), which is adjacent to the Prince Cyril Zulu Communicable Disease Clinic (PCZCDC), a major urban TB clinic, in Durban, South Africa.No hypotheses will be tested in this study; however, the primary study question will determine the proportion of TB recurrence due to relapse vs. re-infection.The study has enrolled 402 participants
This phase I clinical trial studies vemurafenib with sorafenib tosylate or crizotinib in treating patients with advanced malignancies with BRAF mutations. Sorafenib tosylate and crizotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may also stop the growth of advanced malignancies by blocking blood flow to tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vemurafenib, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vemurafenib together with sorafenib tosylate or crizotinib may kill more cancer cells.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combination of capecitabine, temozolomide and bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This phase 1 trial studies the side effects and the best dose of donor CD8+ memory T-cells in treating patients with hematolymphoid malignancies. Giving low dose of chemotherapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-cancer effects). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect
analysis of the risk factors of intra-hepatic distant recurrence (IDR) of hepatocellular carcinoma within 1 year after radiofrequency ablation.
Asparaginase is a cornerstone in the treatment of ALL, but its utility is limited by toxicities including hypersensitivity. Clinical allergy is associated with inactivation of asparaginase by antibodies (A-Abs), which can also neutralize asparaginase without any clinical signs of hypersensitivity (silent inactivation). GRASPA improves pharmacokinetics, tolerability and maintain circulating asparaginase activity due to the protective barrier of the erythrocyte membrane. This study is run to confirm the benefit/risk profile of GRASPA at 150 IU/kg in combination with the COOPRALL regimen in adults and children patients with relapsed ALL, with or without known hypersensitivity to L-asparaginase.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the prevention of relapse of the symptoms of depression. Primary Outcome Measures:Time between subject randomization to treatment and the first occurrence of a relapse during the Relapse Prevention Period. Secondary Outcome Measures: Symptom change as measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS); Illness severity change as measured by Clinical Global Impression of Severity for depression(CGI-S-DEP); Change in subject functioning using the Personal and Social Performance Scale.
Patients with refractory and relapse leukemia had poor outcome even with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In our previous retrospective study, the overall survival is 14.6+/-8.8% while 90% patients eventually relapsed with marrow ablative conditioning mostly standard iv-Bu-Cy or Cy-TBI. The accumulated TRM is 29.5+/-11.5%. Thus our data suggested that the conventional transplantation approach may not be able to overcome the refractory disease. A new strategy to combined a low dose regimen following intensive chemotherapy for tumor reduction seems to be effect in both relapsed. high-risk and refractory AML or ALL. In this study, we focus on a new treatment strategy for particular refractory AML patients.
The capitate had a widened distal base. The distal articulation can be used for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) articula reconstruction.
