Filter by:Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) between the age of 18 and 55 are being recruited to participate in an online survey to determine the impact of PCOS on quality of life and interaction with the healthcare system. This online survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete. Participants will receive no direct benefit, but the information provided will contribute to the knowledge of this condition and the development of improved healthcare for women with PCOS.

The investigators propose to evaluate the effectiveness of duloxetine in treating subjects with both Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The investigators hypothesize that duloxetine as a single therapeutic agent will effectively target pain and other core symptoms of IBS as well as GAD in this patient population with both conditions.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of carmustine when given together with O6-benzylguanine and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IA-IIA cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. O6-benzylguanine may help carmustine work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving O6-benzylguanine with carmustine may kill more cancer cells.
Background: - Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are bone marrow disorders characterized by anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia (low red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts). Patients with MDS are at risk for symptomatic anemia, infection, and bleeding, as well as a risk of progression to acute leukemia. Standard treatments for MDS have significant relapse rates. MDS patients with thrombocytopenia who fail standard therapies require regular, expensive, and inconvenient platelet transfusions, and are at risk for further serious bleeding complications. - Eltrombopag is a drug designed to mimic the protein thrombopoietin, which causes the body to make more platelets. Eltrombopag has been able to increase platelet counts in healthy volunteers and in patients with chronic ITP (a disease where patients destroy their own platelets very rapidly and thus develop thrombocytopenia), but researchers do not know if the drug can increase platelet counts in patients with MDS. Objectives: - To find out whether eltrombopag can improve platelet counts in patients with MDS. - To determine whether eltrombopag is safe for patients with MDS. Eligibility: - Patients 18 years of age and older who have consistently low blood platelet counts related to MDS that has not responded to conventional treatment. - Platelet count ≤ 30,000/μL or platelet-transfusion-dependence (requiring at least 4 platelet transfusions in the 8 weeks prior to study entry); OR hemoglobin less than 9.0 gr/dL or red cell transfusion-dependence (requiring at least 4 units of PRBCs in the eight weeks prior to study entry) OR ANC≤500 Design: - Treatment with eltrombopag tablets once per day for 16-20 weeks. - Participants will be monitored closely throughout the initial treatment, with weekly blood tests and separate evaluations at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) treatment center every 4 weeks. Bone marrow biopsies may be conducted to check for abnormalities in bone marrow. - If patients show signs of improved platelet counts after 90 days, treatment will continue with additional doses of eltrombopag. - Patients who discontinue taking eltrombopag will be evaluated at the NIH treatment center 4 weeks after ending treatment, and again 6 months after ending treatment to check for potential side effects.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if NOV-002 can help to restore bone marrow and blood levels in patients who have MDS. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
This observational study is conducted globally. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of real-life treatment with Norditropin®. The study population will consist of children and adults who are on treatment with Norditropin® in accordance with normal clinical practice.
This research study is looking at blood samples from newborns with Down syndrome. Studying the genes expressed in samples of blood from patients with Down syndrome may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
Phase 1: An observational study (registry) will be conducted which will objectively document the ACS clinical practice in Brazilian public hospitals, and identify the important barriers for the evidence usage incorporation in the clinical practice. Phase 2: A Cluster randomized clinical trial in which public hospital will be randomized to receive or not a multifaceted strategy in order to increase evidence based therapy in clinical practice.
This study will assess the effectiveness and safety of pasireotide long-acting release in patients who have rare tumors of neuroendocrine origin.
An enteral diet supplemented with ginger extract in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients may be beneficial for gas exchange and could decrease duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU).
