Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy and antithymocyte globulin before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal 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 abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a donor stem cell transplant works after busulfan, fludarabine, methylprednisolone, and antithymocyte globulin in treating patients with bone marrow failure syndrome.
We suggest treating the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome by two molecules (zoledronic acid and pravastatin).The therapeutic approach which we propose has for objectives to reduce, to prevent or to delay the gravest infringements of the disease, to prolong the life of the children, and in a more general way, aim at improving their living conditions.
This is a clinical trial of bone marrow transplantation for patients with the diagnosis of a genetic disease of blood cells that do not have an HLA-matched sibling donor. Genetic diseases of blood cell include: Red blood cell defects e.g. hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell disease and thalassemia), Blackfan-Diamond anemia and congenital or chronic hemolytic anemias; White blood cells defects/immune deficiencies e.g. chronic granulomatous disease, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome,Osteopetrosis, Kostmann's syndrome (congenital neutropenia), Hereditary Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); Platelets defects e.g.Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia; Metabolic/storage disorders e.g. leukodystrophies,mucopolysaccharidoses as Hurler disease;Stem cell defects e.g.reticular agenesis, among many other rare similar conditions. The study treatment plan uses a new transplant treatment regimen that aims to try to decrease the acute toxicities and complications associated with the standard treatment plans and to improve outcome The blood stem cells will be derived from either unrelated donor or unrelated umbilical cord blood.
The objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of linaclotide administered to patients with chronic constipation (CC) or irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the major cause of infertility in the United States. Many women with PCOS demonstrate insulin resistance and a compensatory hyperinsulinemia.This is due to both an intrinsic form of insulin resistance unique to PCOS and, in many cases, acquired insulin resistance due to obesity. The importance of this observation lies in the fact that hyperinsulinemia appears to play an important pathogenetic role in the hyperandrogenism and anovulation of both obese and lean women with PCOS.
This present study is specifically designed to examine the efficacy and safety of a high pre-treatment dose of atorvastatin in Asian patients with NSTE-ACS in China and the Republic of Korea, by using a treatment paradigm similar to that employed in the ARMYDA-ACS study.
The purpose of this study is to assess platelet dependent thrombogenicity in patients after acute coronary syndrome using an ex vivo arterial injury model.
This is a study with the principle goal being to learn about the use of L-Carnitine and CoQ10, two vitamin supplements that are currently being used to treat Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, largely initiated by parents. We want to learn how effective these supplements are compared to standard treatment, at what dose, and what onset of action in order to initiate future prospective study on these supplements.
1. Characterize the quality of life of young children with CVS (i.e., psychological, social, physical, school functioning) and the impact of the child's illness on the parent's and family's quality of life (i.e., emotional, social, cognitive functioning, communication, worry, daily activities and family relationships). 2. Assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems in what our preliminary data suggests is a psychiatrically vulnerable population. 3. Evaluate the associations between quality of life and psychiatric symptoms and the frequency and intensity of CVS attacks. 4. Use the data generated from this study to develop a psychosocial intervention targeted at young children with CVS and their families who evidence risk for functional disability, with the aim of intervening as early as possible to limit the psychological and social morbidity experienced by children with CVS and their and families.
Retrospectively review the charts of all children who had heart rate variability, deep breathing test, valsalva maneuver, tilt table test, thermoregulatory sweat testing, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART) completed and were cared for at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
