Filter by:Carpal tunnel syndrome has been suggested to be an early sign of amyloidosi. The investigators will evaluate tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery for amyloid.
Observational study on cohort of 10 women undergoing uterine transplantation using deceased donors
To date, there are no effective therapy for the management of Netherton Syndrome (NS) Patients use emollients with a limited efficacy on scaling and no efficacy on skin inflammation and pruritus. They may also use topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors in case of eczematous lesions. The use of therapies targeting skin inflammation has been reported in a few case reports. Their efficacy is very limited and their uses are limited because of the chronicity of the disease, the impaired skin barrier function and the risk for skin infections and skin cancers. Therefore, there is a huge medical need for novel therapies in NS.The expected consequences of this study are that a 16-week course of dupilumab will be more effective than placebo for the treatment of moderate to severe NS Dupilumab could therefore improve skin condition and quality of life.
This is an open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) as well as preliminary efficacy of BTX-A51 capsules in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study will be done in three parts. Part 1a (Monotherapy Dose Escalation) of this study is designed to determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of orally administered BTX-A51 in up to 35 participants who are evaluable for toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, it is planned that an additional 15 participants will be enrolled in Part 1b (Monotherapy Cohort Expansion) of this study for additional experience with safety and efficacy, and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) which may or may not be different from the MTD. After determination of MTD and RP2D from Part 1a, Part 1c (Azacitidine Combination Dose Escalation) will enroll up to 30 participants. Continued treatment will be available under this study protocol for up to eight 28-day cycles (Continued Treatment Phase) if the Investigator judges the benefit outweighs the risk. Once BTX-A51 treatment has completed, participants will be contacted by telephone every 3 months for up to 2 years after their last treatment for survival status and anticancer therapy (Overall Survival Follow-up).
The present study is aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor with low-dose Aspirin versus standard dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at high risk for ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent implantation.
This phase II trial studies how well canakinumab works for the treatment of low- or intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Canakinumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.
Frailty is a multideterminant syndrome in which muscle function appears to play a central role. Muscle function depends on brain control, nutrition and perfusion. We hypothesized that multiparametric MRI assessment combined with comprehensive gerontological assessment (CGA) and routine biological assessment of inflammation in a sample of older people with and without diabetes will allow to explore on one side the possibilities of multi-parametric MRI muscle and brain imaging to describe the correlates of frailty and on the other side will describe the different muscle/brain alterations due to diabetes in frailty. The main objective is to compare the lipid percent of the rectus femoris in frail and pre-frail older subjects and in non-frail older subjects.
Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a common pathology affecting between 4 and 8% of the general population. It aggravates morbidity and cardio-metabolic mortality and is responsible for accidents related to vigilance disorders. It is estimated that 80% of SAS cases are not diagnosed and therefore not treated. It is however impracticable to propose a diagnostic test of polygraphy (PG) or polysomnography (PSG) to every patient because of the cost and insufficient availability of these exams. It would therefore be useful to carry out a screening test before directing the patient to a complete test. Several simplified polygraph systems with 2 or 3 channels have been proposed (nasal cannula, oximetry, heart rate) but they generally record only one night and remain intrusive enough to perturb the sleep. The Withings Sleep is a non-contact device, along with an airbag placed under the mattress, which allows screening of SAS from four signals: movement, breathing, heart rate and snoring. The objective of the present study is to validate the diagnostic performance of the Withings Sleep for the detection of SAS compared to PSG.
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is the leading cause of sudden death in young Asian adults including Thailand. This syndrome may be hereditary and involve mutations in certain genes. Aim of the study is to identify the relationship between genetic variants and the diagnosis/clinical severity of patients with BrS.
The potential benefits of preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during mechanical ventilation are an increased aeration of dependent lung regions, less need for sedation, improved cardiac filling, and better matching of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and thus oxygenation. Two small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reported less time on mechanical ventilation and in the intensive care unit (ICU) with preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV). Debate exists over the net effects of preserved early spontaneous breathing activity with regard to ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI). In fact, by taking advantage of the potential improvement in oxygenation and recruitment at lower inflation pressures associated with APRV, physicians could possibly reduce potentially harmful levels of inspired oxygen, tidal volume, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation has the potential to generate less positive pleural pressures that may add to the alveolar stretch applied from the ventilator and contribute to the risk of VALI. This has led to an ongoing controversy whether an initial period of controlled mechanical ventilation with deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade or preserved early spontaneous breathing activity during mechanical ventilation is advantageous with respect to outcomes in ARDS patients. A RCT investigating the effects of early spontaneous breathing activity on mortality in moderate to severe ARDS has been highly recommended in the research agenda for intensive care medicine. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preserved spontaneous breathing activity during APRV in the early phase of moderate to severe ARDS.
