Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular disease, especially in the elderly population. Despite many treatment approaches, instillation of topical lubricants remains the mainstay of therapy. However, most of the topical lubricants available are not very well characterised and data about efficacy is sparse. The aim of the present pilot study is to investigate the effect of topically administered lipid based eye drops on tear film lipid layer thickness in subjects with dry eye disease, Meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharospasm and healthy subjects. Tear film lipid layer and tear film thickness will be assessed using the Lipiview II interferometer and OCT. Measurements will be performed before instillation of the eye drops and every 10 minutes after instillation for one hour. One eye will receive lipid based eye drops, the other eye will receive no eye drops and will be used as control. The study eye will be chosen randomly. In addition, Dynamic Meibomian gland imaging, Schirmer I test, corneal fluorescein staining and determination of tear break up time (BUT) will be performed
At present, Watson for Oncology has been applied in 14 countries worldwide, including China, the United States, Holland, Thailand, India, Korea, Poland, Slovakia and Bangladesh. In a double-blind study involving 362 patients in India, treatment recommendations from Watson for Oncology (WFO) performed a high degree of consistency with their multidisciplinary tumor board. The investigators would recruit cancer patients diagnosed as lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer， rectal cancer，cervical cancer or ovarian cancer according to the criteria of Watson for Oncology ，using the updated version of Watson for Oncology to explore the concordance of therapeutic regimen between WFO and physicians in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the efficacy of unfractionated heparin(UFH) on ICU mortality in severe sepsis with suspected DIC.The Second objective is to estimate the effect of UFH on 28-day mortality,and the change of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine(JAAM) score and SOFA score. The third one is to evaluate the safety of UFH in severe sepsis patients with suspected DIC.
The soft robotic system could provide objective and quantifiable measures of subject performance. By combining voluntary motor intention and the robotic hand technology, the system will facilitate the recovery process of stroke patients.
Decreased bowel function and loss of appetite in patients who underwent pancreaticobiliary surgery contribute impaired nutritional status in postoperative period. It can also affect perioperative and oncologic outcomes negatively. Therefore it is important to improve nutritional status in postoperative period by supply tailor-made optimal diets. The investigators have developed customized postoperative diets and products for pancreaticobiliary cancer patients. This time, newly developed ketogenic drink contain beefsteak mint. The investigators expect that nutritional supplement for pancreaticobiliary patients will increase the food intake rate and contribute a improvement of perioperative outcomes and even oncologic outcomes.
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, phase III study of Napabucasin plus bi-weekly FOLFIRI (Arm 1) vs. Napabucasin (Arm 2) for adult patients with metastatic CRC who have failed standard chemotherapy regimens. For patients who have failed bevacizumab with irinotecan-based chemotherapies (treatment failure is defined as radiologic progression of disease during or within 3 months following the last dose), bevacizumab maybe administered in combination with FOLFIRI to patients randomized to Arm 1.
The objective of this RCT is to compare the postoperative outcome of transanal versus transabdominal minimally invasive proctectomy with ileal pouch-annal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of CAR19 T cells carrying cytoplasmic activated PD1 in patients with refractory relapsed B-cell lymphoma
To evaluate the effects of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as an adjunct to usual clinical care for treatment of stress and chronic insomnia for patients with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (MTBI). MBSR is a standardized protocol of meditation and yoga that has been studied extensively in other populations, however the effects of MBSR have not yet been well studied in the proposed population of service members with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) who are experiencing insomnia.
This research trial studies characterization of T-cell repertoire through next-generation sequencing in patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing stem cell transplant. Characterizing T-cell repertoire may help to understand if immune system plays a significant role in high risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
