Filter by:This is a non-blinded phase 2 trial in Stage II-IIIa urothelial cancer randomizing pre-operative nivolumab with or without relatlimab to assess whether bladder preservation after dual immunotherapy would be a viable treatment option for patients responding to treatment
The objective of this single-center clinical trial was to evaluate the objective response rate and safety of Toripalimab combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors TKI (Lenvatinib) in neoadjuvant treatment of（T2a-T4NanyM0 or TanyN1M0） clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
The genito-urinary syndrome of menopause severely affects patients with a history of gynecological cancer, especially those diagnosed with breast cancer. At the present time, we do not have solid scientific evidence on treatments that can be effective and safe to address this pathology. Based on the above, we have developed our working hypothesis where it is postulated that the microfractionated laser treatment of C02, in conjunction with topical regenerative treatment, constitute an effective alternative in the management of vulvo-vaginal atrophy in oncological patients who have contraindicated hormonal treatments.
The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Gyno" in accordance with the stated purpose. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: gynecology examination, vaginal health index, clinical blood test, vaginal flora examination, vaginal pH. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 70 participants with pathology of pelvic organs will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups: group with genitourinary symptoms and group with vaginal relaxation symptoms, by 35 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for both groups. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the condition before treatment.
The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Max" for preoperative treatment of pelvic organs prolapse I-II degree of severity. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: ultrasonography with Doppler ultrasonography, vaginal health index, histological examination, immunohistochemical examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) (elastography). Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire (PFDI-20), The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Genetic testing of 12 gene variants will be carried out. Correlation of genes variants and treatment efficacy will be assessed. Total up to 135 participants with pelvic organs prolapse I-II degree of severity, or any other pathology of pelvic organs, which require surgical intervention will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: group with anterior and/or posterior (A/P) colporrhaphy and laser preoperative treatment (laser treatment group), group with A/P colporrhaphy only (control group 1), and group with any other surgical intervention of pelvic area (control group 2), by 45 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for groups with A/P colporrhaphy, group with any other surgical intervention will be examined before and on the day of surgery without further observation. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser preoperative treatment compared with the control group 1.
The aim of this prospective study is characteristic of changes in the vaginal wall and vulva after treatment of neodymium laser radiation with a wavelength of 1064 nm. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: vaginal health index, perineometry, elastography of vulva, cytological methods. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12), Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 120 participants with postmenopausal atrophy will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: laser treatment group, topical hormones treatment group, and both laser treatment with topical hormones application group, by 40 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for all groups. Thus, a direct comparison between conventional treatment (topical hormones), laser treatment and combine laser and topical hormones therapy of the vaginal atrophy will be made. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment and laser treatment with hormones application compared with the initial state of not less than thirty percent of participants, and improvement in condition on average compared with the hormones only therapy group.
In this proposed pilot study, 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing will be used in the analysis of bacterial communities (microbiomes) in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) before and after eight weeks of vaginal estrogen use. The investigators plan to characterize the composition and dynamics of the microbiomes of the vagina, bladder, and rectum for quantitative and qualitative changes in the distribution of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) before and after eight weeks of local vaginal estrogen therapy. Although the vagina, bladder, and gut microbiomes have been increasingly independently studied, less is known about the interactions of the bacterial communities among the three environments as well as the dynamic relationship with menopausal status and vaginal estrogen therapy and the investigators seek to elucidate these relationships further.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infection and are especially common in postmenopausal women, who often experience recurrent UTIs. Women with recurrent UTIs are commonly treated with antibiotics, but side effects, collateral damage to commensal bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance result from frequent antibiotic use. It is paramount that researchers develop non-antibiotic treatment strategies for UTIs. Several non-antibiotic strategies may be successful in preventing recurrent UTIs in postmenopausal women, including low-dose vaginal estrogen, d-mannose, and methenamine hippurate. Methenamine hippurate (MH) is interesting as it causes few side effects, kills bacteria by denaturing bacterial proteins, RNA, and DNA, and does not develop resistance. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of daily methenamine on the incidence of UTI. However, women often require multiple therapies in order to prevent recurrence. There are currently few guidelines to help clinicians identify optimal treatment regimens for non-antibiotic prevention of UTI. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of developing a sequential, multiple assignment, randomization trial (SMART); and examine the treatment effect of MH in combination with vaginal estrogen (VET) and D-mannose on prevention of UTI. The investigators plan to examine the efficacy of the addition of MH to low dose VET and d-mannose in the UTI prevention through randomization to MH + VET + D-mannose vs continuing VET + D-mannose alone. The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients who have symptomatic, culture-proven UTI during a 3 month treatment period. The investigators hypothesize that women on low dose VET, d-mannose, and MH will be less likely to have recurrent UTI than those with VET and d-mannose alone. This study uses a pragmatic, longitudinal approach that mimics patients' clinical experiences and physicians' decision points during management of UTI prophylaxis. Through this randomized, controlled pilot study, this proposal would allow the investigators to examine the feasibility of conducting a larger-scale, adaptive study trial, and estimate the treatment effect of a non-antibiotic regimen augmented with MH in women who continue to develop recurrence.
Our hypothesis is: the nutritional supplement Ocoxin-viusid improves the quality of life of patients, including a better tolerance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Low flow anesthesia (LFA) is used less than desirable, partly because one has considered that there might be danger of underdosing of anesthesia gas and thus risk of awareness under anesthesia.LFA has several advantages such as reducing loss of moisture and heat in the inhaled air under anesthesia and to reduce the consumption of anesthetic gas. A few anesthesia machines include an automatic gas control system: the Aisys machine, by GE Healthcare (Madison, WI, USA), and the Flow-i machine, by Maquet (Sweden). Since these machines were introduced, only a few studies have reported their functionality and effect on gas consumption. 20 to 55% reduction of gas consumption was found. The potential reduction may have been underestimated because in the majority of cases a FGF higher than 1 l/min was still used. In this study the consumption of anesthetic gas (desflurane) delivered by two different anesthesia machines (Aisys and Flow-i) will be compared, with and without gas control delivery systems. Gas consumption and the time needed to reach the target level of anesthetic gas concentration will be assessed. Data needed will be collected directly from the anesthesia machine, PICIS ( Electronic anesthesia record) and EPJ (Electronic patient journal). The results of this study are of interest for intraoperative ventilation and of economic and ecological interest
