Filter by:The RESTORE extension study is a non-interventional, long-term follow-up study with people who participated in the study referred to as RESTORE (NCT05227898). The purpose of this extension study is to understand the durability of the effects of two digital software devices on anxiety and other indicators of psychological and physical health in participants of the RESTORE study in the 6-months after study completion. Subjects who were enrolled and not withdrawn from the original RESTORE study are eligible to participate. People who consent to participate will be asked to electronically complete a set of questionnaires at 3 months and 6 months following the scheduled date of their RESTORE end-of-study visit.
Young adult cancer survivors (18-39y) are at increased risk of financial distress. This study seeks to better understand the financial challenges experienced by these individuals via quantitative serial assessments, study-based financial navigator encounters and an end of study qualitative interview.
Since the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors, there is a great shift in diabetic treatment, so this drug is magic, this drug can reduce the blood sugar level by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and increasing glucose excretion the first discovery by Josef von Mering who discovered the glucosuric effect of phlorizin. Phlorizin is the progenitor of contemporary SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA did not consider the work of Baron Josef von Mering, since he had already discovered acidosis following the administration of phlorizin in 1888. Now SGLT2 inhibitors are used widely and even for heart failure without diabetes as this drug is useful and with lower risk of death from observational studies The 2008 FDA guidance had a major impact on the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of recently approved antidiabetic drugs, many trials were done on SGLT2 inhibitors like the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, the CANVAS trial program, MACE these groups have CVS benefits and also renal benefits as regards, we suspect long-term benefits and immunity aspect these groups play an important role in cancer incidence from meta-analysis and systematic review, suggests that SGLT2 inhibition results in a reduction of inflammatory markers like interleukin-6 in animal models, further validating the suggested anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.
The overall goal of this study is to develop and pilot test the use of practice facilitation as an intervention for healthcare providers and staff, with the goal of improving the implementation of cancer prevention and screening guidelines in primary care settings.
The study aims to find out if community health worker (CHW) support will improve palliative care outcomes in African American patients with advanced cancer, by comparing the quality of life of patients who are receiving standard care to those whose standard care is supplemented with CHW support.
Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WBDWI) is a non-invasive tool used for staging and response evaluation in oncologic practice and is at the core of emerging response criteria in advanced prostate and breast cancers. WBDWI is a sensitive tool that radiologists can use to review the extent of disease and is achieved using a series of sequential imaging stations from the head to the mid-thigh. WBDWI accounts for more than 50% of the acquisition time of conventional whole-body MRI studies with a 1-hour duration. Despite national and international guidance for using whole-body MRI, a recent UK survey indicated that only 27% of UK radiology departments were offering a whole-body MRI service with a lack of scanner availability cited by 50% of respondents as the main challenge to service delivery. In the context of the ever-increasing capacity pressures on MRI departments, reducing acquisition times would facilitate the wider adoption of clinical WBDWI, reduce costs, and improve the patient experience. DWI is also embedded into consensus MRI protocols across almost all tumour types including primary prostate and breast cancers, metastatic liver disease, gynaecological cancers & GI cancers, where acquisition time savings could also be beneficial. The investigators have previously published accelerated DWI with deep learning based denoising filters (quickDWI), which can provide up to 50% reduction in whole-body MRI acquisition times. The goal of the deep-learning algorithm is to remove the noise in these subsampled images, producing an image with acceptable clinical quality. The aim of this investigation is to extend this work by testing quickDWI within a larger retrospective data cohort, incorporating other cancers such as disease of the abdomen and pelvis, primary prostate cancer, liver metastases, and pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether sauna use after active-duty firefighting is effective in reducing exposure to certain harmful chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are found in soot and several types are known to be carcinogens. This study is a cross-sectional pilot study that will be performed in active-duty firefighters. The firefighters will be subdivided into those who will use a sauna immediately after fighting a fire versus those who will not, the latter of which will serve as a metabolism control group. There will thus be two comparison groups within the study: 1) active-duty firefighters using a sauna after fire suppression (sauna group); 2) active-duty firefighters not using a sauna after fire suppression (metabolism control).
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Rosmalip® nutritional supplement compared to placebo in subjects with solid cancer for the prevention of infections including COVID-19.
iSpecimen aims to create a clinical partner network of hospitals, laboratories, academic institutions, and other healthcare organizations ("institutions") capable of providing researchers and educators ("researchers") with annotated biospecimens for use in biomarker discovery and validation; diagnostic test and instrumentation development and validation; therapeutics development; other medical research including the impact that various specimen collection and handling methods and conditions have on research results; and in education such as researcher or physician training (collectively "research").
The long term goal is to improve quality of care in Veterans with serious illnesses by aligning medical care with Veterans' goals and values. The objective of this study is to use a sequentially randomized trial to determine what implementation strategies are effective to increase early, outpatient goals of care conversations. The study will use interviews with and surveys of medical providers, patients, and caregivers, along with medical record data. This work is significant because it tests ways Veterans can express their goals and preferences for life sustaining treatments and have them honored.
