The diagnosis of rectal lesions is a challenging task, and the accuracy of the primary staging is important preoperatively. A relatively novel technology makes it possible to measure the tissue stiffness during endorectal ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of Shear Wave Elastography (SWE). The hypothesis is that the tissue stiffness is higher in malignant tissue than in benign lesions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of multilevel factors on the quality of screening colonoscopy, reflected mainly by adenoma detection rate (ADR).
5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) was approved by the FDA as an intraoperative optical imaging agent in patients with suspected high-grade gliomas (HGGs) in 2017. The investigators plan to administer 5-ALA to patients with pituitary tumors to demonstrate whether it can be used as an intraoperative optical imaging agent for this pathology. Overall, this pilot study will afford the overall opportunity to improve surgical management and advancement of the science of neurological and neuroendocrine disease.
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is currently considered the gold standard for subtype diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA). However, the percentage of unsuitable procedures due to the unsuccessful cannulation of one of the two adrenal veins is still considerable, and there is no general consensus on the criteria that should be used for the interpretation of the results of an AVS study in these specific cases.
The PREEMPT CRC study is a prospective multi-center observational study to validate a blood-based test for the early detection of colorectal cancer by collecting blood samples from average-risk participants who will undergo a routine screening colonoscopy.
In this observational pilot study, we assess the diagnostic performance of an artificial intelligence sytem for automated detection of colorectal polyps.
The radio-guided technique offers both help with in-vivo identification and ex-vivo confirmation of parathyroid adenoma. In-vivo accuracy is most important but its results are not satisfactory. The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a beneficial effect of individualized timing of surgery using preoperative multi-phase 99mTc-MIBI single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT on in-vivo characteristics of minimally invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy.
Background: Cushing s disease is caused by excess ACTH hormone release by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. It can lead to decreased quality of life and early death. The current best treatment for Cushing s disease is surgery. If surgery does not work or if the tumor returns, there are no more good treatment options. Vorinostat, which is approved to treat a type of lymphoma, might be a treatment option. Objective: To test vorinostat to see if it can kill tumor cells and change the number of hormones released in people with Cushing s disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have Cushing s disease and are scheduled for surgery under protocol 03-N-0164 to remove a tumor in their pituitary gland Design: Participants will be screened under protocol 03-N-0164. Participants will stay in the hospital for 8 days before their surgery. On the first day, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will have their urine collected for testing all day. They will have an ECG: For this, small metal disks or sticky electrode pads will be placed on their chest to record heart activity. For the next 7 days, participants will have blood tests and all-day urine collection. They will drink at least 2 liters of fluid per day. They will take the study drug by mouth each morning. On the eighth day, participants will have their surgery. Leftover tissue will be collected for research. On the day they are discharged from the hospital, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD of the chimeric dopamine-somatostatin receptor agonist, TBR-760, in adult patients with NFPA over 52 weeks.
