Crohn's disease （CD） with stenosis has limited therapeutic options and with high surgical rate. The present clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin in the treatment of stricturing Crohn's Disease.
Fluid management being an important component of surgery becomes more challenging for an anesthesiologist in case of renal transplant. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is an inevitable consequence of kidney transplantation, leading to metabolic acidosis .Normal saline (NS; 0.9% NaCl) is administered during kidney transplantation to avoid the risk of hyperkalemia associated with potassium-containing fluids. Plasmalyte is another fluid which can be used and probably will lead to better metabolic profile in these group of patients.The primary objective of this study will be to compare the effects of using normal saline (NS), Ringer lactate and Plasmalyte as intravenous fluids on acid-base balance and electrolytes during living donor kidney transplantation. Secondary outcomes assessed will be the effect on renal function.
Patients undergoing transcatheter valvular interventions will be prospectively included into the present registry. Baseline, procedural and follow-up data will be collected and analyzed to adress various issues in the field of percutaneous valvular interventions.
Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.
This is a data repository for multi-site multi-protocol clinic-based Natural History Study of ALS and Other Motor Neuron Disorders (MND). All people living with ALS or other MNDs who attend clinics at the Study hospitals (sites) are offered to participate in the Study. The Sites collect so-called Baseline information including demographics, disease history and diagnosis, family history, etc. At each visit, the Sites also collect multiple disease-specific outcome measures and events. The information is captured in NeuroBANK, a patient-centric clinical research platform. The Sites have an option to choose to collect data into 20+ additional forms capturing biomarkers and outcome measures. Captured data after its curation are anonymized (all personal identifiers and dates are being removed), and the anonymized dataset is shared with medical researchers via a non-exclusive revocable license.
The overall median survival of nonresectable malignant hilar obstruction in most series has been less than 6 months. Most patients with malignant hilar obstruction present with advanced disease, making allative endoscopic drainage the principal therapeutic option. However, the optimal endoscopic management strategy is contentious. In malignant hilar obstruction, exclusively endoscopic placement of bilateral metal stents has been considered very difficult and complex, and it may require multiple procedures, with an increased risk of complications and mortality. To overcome this difficulty and strategize plan of management, the investigators evaluated the technical and clinical efficacy of endoscopic bilateral placement of newly designed stents, Y-configuration, followed by side-by-side insertion in failure of stent-in-stent method for the management of malignant hilar obstruction.
This study aims to assess the need to stop Aspirin before elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It will consist of 2 arms: patients who continue to take Aspirin perioperatively and patients who stop Aspirin 5-7 days before the surgery.
Cardiac amyloidosis is a major cause of early treatment-related death and poor overall survival in individuals with systemic light chain amyloidosis. This project will develop a novel approach to visualize cardiac amyloid deposits using advanced imaging methods. The long-term goal of this work is to identify the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction, in order to guide the development of novel life-saving treatments.
The study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized, and controlled phase II clinical trial. The investigators hope to figure out the better chemotherapy regimen for the post-EGFR-TKI failure setting. The primary objective of this trial is to compare progression-free survival without grade 4 (G4PFS) toxicities between pemetrexed-cisplatin and single-agent pemetrexed treatment arms. The trial will include stage IIIB/IV EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients who got disease progression after front-line EGFR TKI treatment.Eligible patients will be randomized to 2 arms. Patients in arm A will receive 4 cycles of cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d1) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, d1) every 3 weeks, those without disease progression (PD) and being tolerable judged by investigator will continue single-agent pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, d1) every 3 weeks as maintenance until progression or intolerable toxicities. Patients in arm B will receive pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, d1) every 3 weeks until PD or intolerable toxicities.
This is an open-label, mono-centre, interventional study.The aim of this trial is to assess accuracy and reliability of a flash glucose monitoring system, the freestyle Libre (Abbott, CA, USA), in patients with type 1 diabetes.
