Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to evaluate patient reported outcomes and tolerability of scrotal and penile urologic procedures under the administration of minimal conscious sedation. This will be assessed at 4-6 weeks post-procedure where patients will be followed up with a questionnaire assessing how well patients tolerated the procedure and if patients would opt for conscious sedation again in a similar, future procedure. The investigators will secondarily be assessing the associated cost savings as compared to having these procedures performed under general anesthesia at a tertiary care hospital.
Main objective : Evaluate the effect of using a virtual reality mask during the blood test and pricks tests in allergic children aged from 7 to 13 years. Hypothesis : Using virtual reality mask during blood test and pricks tests for allergic kids from 7 to 13 would reduce anxiety and pain
Hypothesis: Is it feasible to conduct a definitive trial to test the effect of E-MATVR compared to E-MATE on primary and secondary outcomes among Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) members (players and coaches)? The overall aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial to test the effect of an educational intervention to Enhance Men's Awareness of Testicular diseases using Virtual Reality (E-MATVR) among male GAA members. The effect of E-MATVR will be compared to E-MATE (control) which involves using the same information as E-MATVR delivered as plain text (e.g., PDF) with still images from E-MATVR.
Investigators will use Axumin PET/CT to help with the imaging modalities to determine the presence of occult retroperitoneal disease.
This is a proof-of-concept study to define efficacy of AVELUMAB in patients with multiple relapsed/refractory germ cell tumors (GCTs). Data suggest that PD-L1 is overexpressed in TGCTs, and PD-L1 expression is significantly higher in GCTs in comparison to normal testicular tissue.Patients with low PD-L1 expression had significantly better progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.40, 95% CI (0.16 - 1.01, p = 0.008) and overall survival (HR = 0.43, 95% CI (0.15 - 1.23, p = 0.040) compared to patients with high PD-L1 expression. These data suggest that PD-1/PD-L1 pathway could be a novel therapeutic target in TGCTs and that there is strong rationale to inhibit PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in GCTs.
Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic preperitoneal or open inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated by means of scrotal/testicular ecocolordoppler ultrasound investigation before and after surgery in order to rule out the potential impact of the surgical procedure on testicular arterial and venous blood flow
This is a single-blinded RCT evaluating the value of up-positioning of the testes as supportive therapy in patients receiving antimicrobial treatment due to acute bacterial orchitis.
Our data indicate that environmental exposure to the heavy metal lead are more widespread than currently appreciated and that such exposures are associated with the production of human male subfertility. Lead's effects are observed in male partners of infertile couples attending an IVF clinical, in men acting as semen donors in an artificial insemination program and in men representative of the general public. Our goal is to identify the mechanism(s) underlying lead's anti-fertility action.
