This study will examine the effect of a single high dose of psilocybin therapy (30 mg) versus a very low dose (1 mg) as an adjunctive therapy to individuals undergoing standard-of-care buprenorphine treatment for Opioid use disorder (OUD). Effects of adjunctive psilocybin will be determined for longitudinal outcomes of opioid abstinence, compliance with buprenorphine maintenance, quality of life, and mood.
In recent decades, an increasing number of oral anticancer medications (oral oncolytics) have been approved. Oral oncolytics now make up to 30% of the oncology market, and their use is continually expanding. Oral oncolytics can be a significant benefit for patients and providers. Patients who receive them often report a greater sense of control over their treatment, less interference with daily work and social activities, reduced travel time and costs, and the elimination of discomfort associated with an IV line. In rural areas, the oral route is crucial because the closest treatment center may be hours away and weather may complicate travel. Moreover, oral therapy is less invasive and reduces nursing time in infusion suites and risks to patients. However, making cancer treatments available in oral form transfers most of the responsibility for correct administration of the drug to the patient. The more complex the oral treatment regimen, the higher the risk of errors and non-adherence. Oral Oncolytics are high-risk and high cost drugs. Hence, with this transfer of responsibility comes the need to support patients in their adherence to the directed regimen and to effectively monitor them at home.
The host response against the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appears to be mediated by a 'cytoquine storm' developing a systemic inflammatory mechanism and an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in the form of a bilateral pneumonitis, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in an important group of patients. In terms of preventing progression to the critical phase with the consequent need of admission to the intensive care units (ICU), it has been recently proposed that this inflammatory cytoquine-mediated process can be safely treated by a single course of ultra-low radiotherapy (RT) dose < 1 Gy. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of ultra low-dose pulmonary RT, as an anti-inflammatory intention in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia with a poor or no response to standard medical treatment and without IMV.
It is known that cryotherapy has various therapeutic applications, among which are the control of the inflammatory process, resolution of edema, analgesia and decreased spasticity. In addition, the use of cold as an agent to decrease or facilitate neuromuscular activity has been documented. The scientific information that supports the relationship of short duration cold with the improvement of the motor response is scarce and outdated. The objective of this design is to evaluate the effectiveness of rapid cooling or Quick Icing technique in the improvement of muscular performance. The foregoing would be relevant in the field of Kinesiology (Physiotherapy) because it would attribute cold properties that could influence the increase in muscle strength, favoring the performance of different therapeutic exercises, training or high performance sport, in addition to supporting the proposal of this intervention in patients with particular neurological disorders.
Children and adults with recurrent or progressive malignant brain tumors have a dismal prognosis, and outcomes remain very poor. Magrolimab is a first-in-class anticancer therapeutic agent targeting the Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47)-signal receptor protein-alpha (SIRP-alpha) axis. Binding of magrolimab to human CD47 on target malignant cells blocks the "don't eat me" signal to macrophages and enhances tumor cell phagocytosis. Pre-clinical studies have shown that treatment with magrolimab leads to prolonged survival in models of Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors (ATRT), diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), high-grade glioma (adult and pediatric), medulloblastoma, and embryonal tumors formerly called Primitive Neuro-Ectodermal Tumors (PNET). Safety studies in humans have proven that magrolimab has an excellent safety profile. Ongoing studies are currently testing magrolimab in adult myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal, ovarian, and bladder cancers. Herein we propose to test the safety of magrolimab in children and adults with recurrent or progressive malignant brain tumors.
The exploration of space is more effective when intrinsically rewarding elements are located in the visual scene. Thus, rewards could be exploited as a novel rehabilitation approach to various attentional disorders. The first part of the project aims to characterize these effects at the behavioural level. The interventional part consists then in the administration of Caloric Vestibular Stimulation (CVS), which by means of injection of a small quantity of water in the external ear activates the vestibular organs and subsequently vestibular-related brain areas. Among the observed brain activations, the possibility to reach cingulate areas appears particularly interesting because it foreshadows the possibility to further enhance attentional capture by rewards. CVS will be delivered to patients with brain lesion of the right hemisphere, engaged in cancellation tasks requiring the processing of targets of different nature (e.g. monetary or neutral). The main prediction is that CVS administration would enhance spatial exploration in terms of center of gravity of the cancellation and improved accuracy as a function of the type of target processed (e.g. its value).
This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (400 mg BID on D1 and 400 mg/day on D2 to D5) and azithromycin (500 mg/ 5 days) to treat moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
This phase II trial studies the effect of atezolizumab and cabozantinib in treating adolescents and young adults with osteosarcoma that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab and cabozantinib may help to control the osteosarcoma.
Vertigo is among the most common symptoms associated with migraine and affects 26.5% of migraine sufferers, leading to a dramatic impact in life limiting even the most simple activities. A new device, the OtoBand, a transcranial vibrating system, has been shown to mitigate and sometimes prevent vertigo and nausea in healthy subjects. The current study aims to determine if the Otoband can treat or reduce symptoms of Migraine Associated Vertigo (MAV).
