There are about 10897 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The treating physician/investigator contacts Lilly when, based on their medical opinion, a patient meets the criteria for inclusion in the expanded access program.
Breast cancer is the most frequent neoplastic tumor in women, and surgical treatment is indicated in most patients. Complications related to this treatment, such as post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS), a persistent pain that develops after surgery, have been reported. Although the genesis of the pain is multifactorial, sectioning of the intercostobrachial nerve is the nerve lesion diagnosed more often (1) .. Pain relief using drugs with high efficacy provides significant improvement in the patients' lives. Drugs like lamotrigine (LTG) and gabapentin (GBP) have the ability to overcome the symptoms of neuropathic pain (4). Both LTG and PGB have been extensively reviewed in the past for management of painful neuropathic conditions (5)
The human endometrium is an extremely sensitive target. LLLT can enhance the proliferation rate of various cell lines, it produces higher rates of ATP, RNA, and DNA synthesis in stem cells and other cell lines. Thus, LLLT improves the proliferation of the cells without causing any cytotoxic effects. The aim of this work is to assess the ability of low level laser therapy in enhancing endometrial proliferation and increasing endometrial receptivity. A number of 120 human endometrial samples will be studied, and will be collected from 40 infertile women attending the infertility clinic at NRC. Each human endometrial sample will be divided into 3 plates, in order to establish 3 main groups of 40 culture plates for single laser exposure group versus 40 culture plates for multiple laser exposure group and 40 tissue culture plates for control samples, thus a total of 120 tissue culture plates will be studied, the study groups will be exposed to low level laser therapy and compared to their matched controls.. Assessment of number and size of cells after LLLT as a marker of normal proliferation and b) The expression of Integrin aVB3 "alpha v B3", MUC-1 and LIFand the development of pinopodes on the surface of epithelial cells as markers of endometrial receptivity and the detection of PTEN tumor suppressor gene as a marker of abnormal proliferation or premalignant condition will be performed to assess the effect of LLLT on the endometrial cell culture. This study might offer a new therapeutic modality which might increase endometrial thickness and enhance receptivity .
