Recently, a retrospective study reported the efficacy and safety of modified gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP), which were administered biweekly (on days 1 and 15). With 79 patients of metastatic pancreatic cancer, this study reported similar efficacy and improved toxicity profile compared with standard dose GnP (OS 10 months, PFS 5.4 months, Grade ≥3 Neutropenia 19%, Grade ≥3 sensory neuropathy 1.6%). Also, several studies reported that dose reduction of nab-paclitaxel in breast or pancreatic cancer treatment was not related of decreased survival, or related with prolonged survival and increased treatment exposure. However, this finding need to be evaluated in prospective clinical trial. This phase II trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified GnP, which omit the day 8 administration of nab-paclitaxel, in metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The study is conducted in women at the menopause with a clinical diagnosis of Genitourinary Syndrome, which presents symptoms in of vulvovaginal atrophy and tract urinary and were treated with radiofrequency non ablative technique for capacitive transfer in intra-vaginal. All participants were evaluated by a physical therapist and did the exam of PH vaginal, cell maturation index and questionnaires. The participants made five sessions of Radio Frequency (RF) with an interval of seven days between them. The application of RF was performed by physical therapist trained in the technique of radio frequency through the Capenergie brand device with capacitive transfer method using non-ablative handle with active electrode intra-vaginal and coupling electrode placed on the participant's back. For application, the participants were in gynecological position. The session had an average duration above 20 minutes. The temperature was measured by an infrared thermometer when it reached 41graus radiofrequency was maintained for 2 minutes in the anterior wall and 2 minutes more in the posterior wall of vagina.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing two ADR repair methods: nylon suturing and nylon suture with mesh enforcement. The ADR correction is performed simultaneously with abdominoplasty/ modified skin reduction abdominoplasty.
This study aims to evaluate knowledge, Attitude and Practice of intern dentists in emergency management of traumatic dental injuries in permanent anterior teeth in children aged from 6 to 12 years old. A questionnaire survey will be designed to evaluate Knowledge - Attitude - and practice (KAP) of intern dentists who met the eligibility criteria.
To study the protective effect of suture parathyroid marker method on the function of parathyroid gland in thyroid cancer surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential correlation of the results of allergen-specific skin prick tests (SPT) to that of allergen-specific microarray determination (microassay test). Subjects who meet enrollment criteria, after signing an IRB approved consent form, will perform a minor finger prick blood draw and blot to be mailed off for microassay analysis. Specific statistical analysis will be done to assess all potential correlations between SPT and microassay. This study design should enable assessment of the level of correlation between SPT results and microassay results for specified allergens within a cohort of subjects with allergic rhinitis.
The purpose of this study is to verify whether additional administration of Alirocumab exerts a stronger stabilizing effect on the vulnerable plaque in CAD, compared with statin alone administration in patients receiving PCI. Therefore, the change in maxLCBI (4 mm) of the coronary artery 9 months after administration by addition administration of Alirocumab is evaluated as the main evaluation item as compared with statin administration alone for patients who have CAD and received PCI. Also, change of plaque properties is compared with baseline and evaluated. This study is a single-center, randomized, open-label study, using alirocumab, rosuvastatin as test drugs. Based on the findings obtained in this study, it is possible to clarify the mechanism of stabilization of the plaque in a patient with coronary artery disease, which in turn suppresses the progress of plaque in coronary artery disease, resulting in primary or secondary There is a possibility that it can contribute to prevention.
Heart failure (HF) is an enormous health burden affecting approximately 5.1 million people in the US and is the cause of 250,000 deaths each year. Approximately 50% of HF is caused by myocardial ischemia and requires immediate restoration of coronary blood flow to the affected myocardium. However, the success of reperfusion is partly limited by intramyocardial hemorrhage, which is the deposition of intravascular material into the myocardium. Hemorrhagic reperfusion injury has high prevalence and patients have a much greater risk of adverse left ventricular remodeling, risk of fatal arrhythmia, impaired systolic function and are hospitalized at a greater rate. Recent magnetic resonance imaging techniques have improved assessment of reperfusion injury, however, the association between MRI contrasts and reperfusion injury is highly unclear, and lacks specificity to IMH. Improved imaging of IMH and accurate knowledge about its spatial and temporal evolution may be essential for delivery of optimal medical therapy in patients and critical to identify patients most at risk for adverse ventricular remodeling. The overall goal is to investigate the magnetic properties of hemorrhage and develop MRI techniques with improved specificity to hemorrhage. New MRI techniques permit noninvasive assessment of the magnetic susceptibility of tissues and can target tissue iron. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that MRI imaging of myocardial magnetic susceptibility can map hemorrhagic myocardium. The investigators will perform a longitudinal observational study in patients after reperfusion injury to validate these methods, compare the methods with conventional MR contrasts and develop MR methods for imaging humans.
To assess the efficacy and feasibility of high-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concurrent weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin for patients with locoregionally advanced esophageal cancer
all patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction superior or equal to 50% less than 2 years after an acute coronary event and receiving ticagrelor will undergo a sleep polygraphy
