Despite novel acute therapies the global burden of stroke remains high worldwide. Targeting the immune response after stroke has the potential to improve recovery in all stroke patients. Experimental studies suggest important roles for T-lymphocytes, especially anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells, in the evolution of stroke and neurological deficit. Objectives of this study are to either confirm or refute the hypothesis that a subset of brain regulatory T cells exists in humans and expands after stroke and to identify immunological biomarkers that can be used in stroke clinical trials targeting the adaptive immune system.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
This study aims to observe the changes of intestinal microbiota after deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for Parkinson's disease, and explore the role of intestinal microbiota in the neuroprotective effect of DBS.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the anesthesiologists are involved in the riskiest interventions e.g. airway management, endotracheal intubation, and resuscitation. So, they are subjected to a higher risk of infection compared to many other medical specialties. As a result, they are more subjected to psychological stresses. This study aimed to assess the level of stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic among anesthesiologists.
The study is a randomised trial of hypnosis with 3D virtual reality headset (intervention group) versus control group with no hypnosis and no virtual reality headset to compare remifentanil consumption during shock wave lithotripsy.
TENDER is a multicenter, single-device, retrospective and prospective, observational study to assess safety and efficacy of the Tendyne Mitral Valve System in a real-world population.
Eighty patients with RAS/RAF wild-type metastatic right colon cancer will be enrolled and undergo a fresh biopsy of tumor lesion before the standard treatment of chemotherapy. The investigators will establish organoids from the pre-treatment biopsies. Organoids will be exposed to the chemotherapy drugs or chemotherapy drugs combined with cetuximab used for each patient. The sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs or combined cetuximab will be tested in the organoids model. Chemotherapy strategies including 5-fluorouracil only, irinotecan only, oxaliplatin only, FOLFOX, and FOLFIRI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of a Patient-Derived Organoid (PDO) model of colon cancer to predict the clinical efficacy of combined treatment of cetuximab, which to formulate the best therapy regimen for each given patient.
This is a single arm phase II study of adjuvant intra-dermal NA DC vaccine combined with intravenous nivolumab in patients with resectable HCC (group A) or CRLM (group B) planned for curative surgery (with/without local ablation).
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the most commonly performed surgical treatment for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). DBS typically works best to lessen motor symptoms such as stiffness, slowness, and tremor. Despite an overall improvement of these motor symptoms with DBS, past research failed to show an increase in community mobility and have often reported an increase in falling after surgery. The ability to move around on one's own is important for functional independence and improved quality of life. There is growing evidence supporting the positive effects of physiotherapy on individuals with PD. Gait and balance training, in particular, can improve mobility and also prevent falls. So far, no study has shown the effectiveness of rehabilitation in patients receiving DBS. The purpose of this study is to determine if DBS combined with physiotherapy is effective for improving safe independent mobility in individuals with PD, more so than with patients receiving DBS alone.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 7th most common cause of cancer death globally but only 20% are diagnosed in its early stages where cure is possible. Current standard-of-care surveillance of patients at high risk of developing HCC with 6-monthly serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and ultrasound imaging (US) has a sensitivity of approximately 63% for detecting early HCC. There is an urgent need for a more efficacious and convenient modality of surveillance of high-risk patients to diagnose HCC at an early stage. This prospective study aims to address this unmet clinical need by validating a panel of circulating miRNA biomarkers to develop an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit for the detection of early HCC in a cohort of high-risk patients. Additionally, this study also aims to develop a multi-parametric MRI-based AI algorithm to quantify individual risks of developing HCC and to predict the progression of chronic liver disease in this cohort to enable targeted surveillance. Lastly, by identifying changes in the microbiome and metabolites as HCC develops in this cohort enables the establishment of actionable biomarkers that can prevent and predict the development of HCC.
