Filter by:Acute Chest Syndrome (ACS) is a pulmonary complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) representing the leading cause of death and the second cause of hospitalization among adult patients. Pulmonary vaso-occlusion is one of the main pathophysiologic hypotheses during ACS. Our hypothesis is that therapeutic anticoagulation may reduce the severity of ACS via the alleviation of pulmonary thrombosis. The main objective of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study is to test the efficacy and safety of a curative anticoagulation strategy during ACS. The main efficacy endpoint is time to ACS resolution. The main safety endpoint is number of major bleedings. A thoracic CT scan will be performed to check for pulmonary artery thrombosis. If the CT scan is positive (thrombosis within a large elastic artery), the patient will not be randomized and will be treated with a curative anticoagulation. If the CT scan is negative, the patient will be randomized to receive subcutaneous anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin) either at a curative dose (175 Unit International (UI)/kg/day for 7 days) or at a prophylactic dose (4500 UI/day).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin is effective in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vitamin D3 supplementation is effective in the treatment of clinical signs, biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Ticagrelor, a new P2Y12 receptor antagonist, achieve faster, consistent and higher platelet inhibition than clopidogrel, which was considered more noticeable in patients with ACS combining chronic kidney disease(CKD). Nonetheless, the pharmacokinetic properties of ticagrelor in the patients with CKD and NSTE-ACS has not been thoroughly studied. This study was designed to provide PK and PD data of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel, in order to estimate that ticagrelor is superior to clopidogrel in getting better inhibition of platelet in patients with CKD and NSTE-ACS. P2Y12 inhibitor naïve patients with CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 ) and NSTE-ACS will be enrolled in this single-center, prospective, randomized, parallel-control study and randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor or clopidogrel on top of chronic aspirin treatment. The primary endpoint was the PRU by Verify Now at 30 days after loading dose.
In this study, participants with relapsed or refractory primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (rrPMBCL) or relapsed or refractory Richter Syndrome (rrRS) will receive pembrolizumab (MK-3475). The efficacy of pembrolizumab in the treatment of rrPMBCL and rrRS will be evaluated. The primary study hypothesis is that intravenous (IV) administration of single agent pembrolizumab to the rrPMBCL cohort will result in an Objective Response Rate (ORR) of greater than 15% using the International Working Group (IWG) response criteria (Cheson, 2007) by independent central review. Effective with Protocol Amendment 04, enrollment into the rrRS cohort was closed.
Purpose: To compare the outcome between sonography-guided steroid injection and direct steroid injection on carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).
Atypical hemolytic syndrome (aHUS) is a severe renal disease affecting children and adults. It is characterized by the occlusion of intrarenal vessels due to the presence of platelet/fibrin thrombi, and leads to end-stage renal disease in up to 2/3 of patients. The discovery of complement alternative pathway as a major risk factor for aHUS has led to the design of a disease-specific treatment, the anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, eculizumab. Complement inhibition using eculizumab has clearly improved the renal outcome of aHUS patients with a dramatic decrease in the risk of end-stage renal disease. However, the optimal duration of eculizumab therapy is still debated. The present study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of the discontinuation of eculizumab treatment in children and adults with aHUS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Proklama is effective in significative reduction of pain, other symptoms IBS's related, and improves quality of life concerning IBS disease.
This study compares two colonoscopy techniques (with Narrow Band Imaging versus with indigo carmine chromoendoscopy) in patients having Lynch Syndrome
Preterm infants ranging from 29+0 to 36+6 weeks+days are randomly assigned to one of the following treatments as non invasive respiratory support if they develop mild to moderate Respiratory Distress Syndrome within 72 hrs from birth: 1) NCPAP set at 4-6 cmH2O or 2) HHHFNC providing a flow 4-6 l/min. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of relative "new" form of respiratory support (HHHFNC) versus a more common one (NCPAP).
