Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is still considered the treatment of choice for painful osteoarthritis. In the last decades neutral mechanical knee alignment in the coronal plane has been considered the gold standard. However, the optimal TKA alignment is still debated. Today, component rotation measurements on three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images are considered the gold standard for assessing native preoperative alignment and TKA component position. In this study pre-and postoperative radiographic measurements, functional scores, and biomechanical parameters of patients with knee osteoarthritis will be assessed with the aim to investigate the relationship between deviations of TKA alignment from native preoperative alignment and clinical, functional and biomechanical alignment.
About 382 million of adults in the world have Diabetes type 2 (DT2), and it is foreseen that this number will increase to 592 million in 2035. International Diabetes Federation (IDF) (2017) established that 352 million adults around 20 and 79 years old (which is 7,3% of that population), could be classified as prediabetes. This last is characterized by the resistance to insulin of skeletal muscle, of the liver and/ or adipose tissue, provoking the excessive e insulin secretion of β cells and pancreatic exhaustion which produce severe hyperglycemia. The High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can increase the oxidation ability, relating directly to insulin sensibility.
Breast cancer is a major cause of survival for women worldwide. Neoadjuvant therapy as an important treatment for locally advanced breast cancer has had many positive effects for breast cancer patients. As drug therapy for breast cancer continues to evolve, the percentage of pathologic complete responses continues to increase. However, at present, pCR can only be judged by pathological testing of surgically resected specimens, and the question of whether pCR can be accurately judged preoperatively has become an urgent issue.Therefore, this project plans to establish and validate a model for determining pCR after NAT in breast cancer based on clinical information, imaging and pathological information of breast cancer patients in multiple centers using artificial intelligence technology in accordance with international guidelines and domestic expert consensus on breast cancer NAT, in order to solve the problem of surgical decision making for patients after NAT, by combining experts from breast medicine, surgery, pathology and imaging departments in several tertiary care hospitals across China. The model will be validated to solve the problem of surgical decision making for post-NAT patients.
The study will investigate whether oxytocin (24IU) administered orally using medicated lollipops results in increased peripheral oxytocin concentrations and can modulate social attention in an anti-saccade paradigm in the same way as when it is administered by intranasal or lingual routes.
Rationale: Informal care is one of the most important sources of care for dependent elderly people. The Partner in Balance (PIB) intervention aims to prepare and support informal caregivers for their caregiving tasks. Long-term cost-effectiveness evidence is required to support reimbursement decision-making on this PIB program. The investigators hypothesize that 1) caregiver self-efficacy in intervention arm PiB is higher compared to the control arm of usual care; 2) care costs of participants in intervention arm are lower compared to the control arm of usual care. Objectives: The investigators aim to answer the following research questions: - What is the effect of PiB on caregiver self-efficacy compared to usual care? - What is the effect of PiB on caregiver and person with dementia total care costs compared to usual care? - What is the incremental cost-utility ratio of PiB compared to usual care? - What is the annual budget impact of PiB compared to usual care? Study design: Pragmatic, cluster randomised controlled trial. Study population: Informal caregivers of people with early-stage dementia who are community-dwelling and are receiving little or no dementia-related formal ADL-care Intervention: blended E-health informal caregiver support program with online psycho-education and behavioural modelling. It contains personalized goal setting, online modules with option for online communication with care professional, evaluation with care professional. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary: self-efficacy. Cost-utility: EQ5D, RUD. Secondary: quality-of-life, caregiver burden Data collection: Measurements consist of questionnaires (total duration is approximately 1 hour; administered at home, via telephone, via email or other location if preferred by the participant; take place at baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months).
To elucidate mechanisms of substance use disorders (SUD) and comorbid mental illnesses in people living with HIV (PLWH), the study team seeks to investigate reward and pain circuitry in cannabis use and depression comorbidity, two highly prevalent conditions in PLWH. The study team proposes a tightly integrative study to test the overall hypothesis that cannabis use and depression in young PLWH have an additive effect, inducing both reward deficits and pain hypersensitivity, and that this pattern will predict worse outcomes at 1 year follow-up.
The Bronx-Valve Registry is designed to collect and assess data on all patients with valvular diseases referred to Montefiore Medical Center for echocardiographic exams.
In Latin America, information about patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is limited. Multicenter studies are needed to obtain "real world data '' and to carry out longer follow-ups. The purpose of this project is to design a cohort of Argentinian patients with SLE to describe "our real setting" and to identify possible limitations in access to specialized consultations and treatments.
This is a phase I, interventional, single arm, open label, treatment study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BCMA-CD19 cCAR T cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory SLE.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-Siglec-6 CAR-T cells in the treatment of relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
