Filter by:The primary goal of the present prospective cohort study is to evaluate the effect of varying incidences of BOP at implant sites across 15 months of maintenance visits on the probability of peri-implant disease progression. Over 15 months, participants will attend 6 visits where clinical measurements and maintenance care will be performed every 3 months.
The purpose of the study is to prospectively assess longitudinal changes in biomarkers (MECP2, potential biomarkers of target engagement and disease activity) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood; characterize longitudinal changes in performance on clinical scales (clinician-reported measures of neurodevelopment and functioning) and caregiver-reported outcome assessments (communication, gastrointestinal, social-emotional-adaptive behavioral measures); evaluate longitudinal changes in caregiver-reported health-related quality-of-life measures; and assess the frequency, type, and severity of seizures over time.
The present case-control study is designed to investigate the disease characteristics of IR-CAD by comparing the demographics, clinical features, lab results, imaging findings, and prior treatment between 20 patients with IR-CAD and 10 patients with AS-CAD.
At present, no drug therapy has been proven to delay the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). rTMS, as a non-invasive neuromodulation method, can regulate Slow-wave sleep (SWS). SWS is recognized closely related to neurodegeneration. However, there has been no clinical studies on if rTMS could delay the progression of PD by regulating SWS. The main purpose of this study is to explore the changes of SWS in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep period in PD patients by using rTMS, and the relationship with potential improvements of SWS and motor symptom delay. The study aims to find a potential new treatment strategy to delay the neurodegenerative process in PD patients by modulating SWS by rTMS.
This prospective, blinded observational clinical study was aimed to determine the effect of hyperhydration and muscle loss measured by Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) on mortality. The aim was to compare hydratation parameters measured by BIVA: OHY, Extracellular Water (ECW) / Total Body Wate (TBW) and quadrant, vector length, phase angle (PA) with cumulative fluid balance (CFB) recording (input-output) in their ability in predicting mortality as the abilities of the prognostic markers PA (BIVA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II - score) and presepsin (serum Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 14-ST). The investigators also compared BIVA nutritional indicators (SMM, fat) with BMI and laboratory parameters (albumin, prealbumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammation parameters) in the prediction of mortality. An important goal was to evaluate the usability of the BIVA method in critically ill patients on extracorporeal circulation, to compare the impedance data of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and non-ECMO groups.
This project focuses on researching chronic rhinosinusitis in patients, employing image processing techniques and molecular biology methods to jointly determine the research objectives: 1. Investigating heterogeneity. 2. Developing an intelligent assessment model. 3. Creating a visual tool for diagnosis and prognosis.
A clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of oral tafenoquine compared to placebo in patients with mild to moderate COVID 19 disease and low risk of disease progression (the "ACLR8-LR" study).
The pathophysiology of AD is complex. In addition to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary degeneration, there is a metabolic alteration of the energy pathways, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, which are involved in brain function. Several authors have shown a series of early metabolic dysregulations via an increase in phosphorylation at the origin of neuronal death. Ultra-high field imaging (7T MRI) may allow, with its better spatial resolution and advanced imaging techniques, to shed light on the mechanisms of progression of Alzheimer's disease. A Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) examination can be coupled to brain MRI without additional risk for the patient. Multinuclear 1H-31P metabolic imaging is a promising tool that can provide information on the metabolic evolutionary profile of AD. Thus, we propose a longitudinal study in patients with early-stage AD on 7T MRI-MRS.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with EGFR-KI in the treatment of stage III EGFR mutant lung cancer. Methods: Stage III EGFR mutant lung cancer cases who underwent radiotherapy combined with EGFR-TKI from December 2014 to December 2022 at the People's Hospital of Laibin, the First People's Hospital of Yulin, the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College, and the Park East Hospital of Guangxi Medical University Kaiyuan were collected, and the primary index of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary indexes were objective remission rate, overall survival, recurrence pattern, and adverse events. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method with Log rank test for univariate analysis and Cox proportional risk model for multifactorial analysis of prognosis.
This study aims first to assess the efficacy, safety, and effectiveness of the LUSZ COVID-19 therapy consisting of a comparative study of three different treatment approaches: antiviral, antiretroviral, and immunosuppressive IL-6 receptor antagonist, and second to identify high-risk factors and biomarkers associated with fatal outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The study seeks to validate a novel predictive scoring model for disease progression and evaluate the impact of these treatments on mortality, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and time to recovery.
