Filter by:Aims - To identify patients that should remain admitted in hospital for more intense surveillance because of high risk for development of clinical complications - Expand the understanding of the interactions between physiology and immunology for the design of future projects and general knowledge Hypothesis Development of a risk model based on a combination of physiological and immunological parameters can contribute to early detection of patients at risk for clinical complications after anti-cancer treatment.
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (alloHSCT) represents the only curative option for many patients diagnosed with various hematologic neoplasms. Procedure-related morbidity and mortality pose challenges to long-term outcomes and quality of life, especially among patients who develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). There is a gap in healthcare that comprehensively addresses the specific needs of these patients. Physical therapy as an adjuvant treatment, through therapeutic exercise involving muscle strength and cardiorespiratory endurance, has shown positive influences on health markers and serves as a strong medical ally in similar profiles. Although these strategies could be reproducible and potentially beneficial for cGVHD patients, research has been limited to date, with the role of physical therapy possibly underutilized in this field. Justification: Unaddressed medical gap with no rigorously scientific responses specific to cGVHD. Objectives: This project aims to conduct the first randomized clinical trial from a physical therapy perspective as an adjuvant treatment for patients undergoing alloHSCT diagnosed with cGVHD.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of laser photobiomodulation in adult hematologic cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is photobiomodulation with laser in the oral cavity, compared to standard care, effective in preventing oral mucositis and functional impairments in adult patients receiving HSCT? • What is the level of patient´s acceptability of photobiomodulation with laser in the oral cavity during HSCT? Participants once a day will receive photobiomodulation (diode laser device) in their oral cavity from the first day of transplantation conditioning until third day post-transplant. Researchers will compare with usual care to see if photobiomodulation helps preventing oral mucositis and functional impairment.
The main objective is to study the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic epigenomic, metabolomic and immune mechanisms of blasts and microenvironment cells associated with IT resistance through the constitution of a collection associating blood or marrow samples from patients with LA, MDS and MPS marrow samples from patients with LA, MDS and MPS at diagnosis, during treatment and at relapse and relapse and clinical annotations.
Torque Teno Virus (TTV) prevalence in the general population is very high (>90%) and has not been consistently confirmed to cause any disease. Kidney transplant studies seem to indicate that an elevated viremia could predict the risk of de-veloping an infectious process in the following weeks. An study of the influence of TTV as a predictive marker of infection in kidney transplant recipi-ents showed higher TTV levels, even 3 months before the infectious process, allowing the authors to postulate that the quantification of TTV could help to modulate the treatment of patients at risk. Publications of subsequent studies seem to confirm these data.In the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) few studies have analyzed the replication kinetics of TTV. There seems to be a drop in TTV plasma load after conditioning treatment, with a progressive increase in the first months post-transplant, in parallel with the number of lymphocytes. In early stages of HSCT, a relation-ship between TTV replication kinetics and the probability of developing an infection by CMV has also been described. Likewise, the possible relationship of TTV with other complications of HSCT, such as Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV) or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), have been reported. However, not every study conducted to date show this line of results.
The management of patients with malignant hemopathy is based on comprehensive management. In this context and faced with the various difficulties encountered by cancer patients, the question of spirituality and its experience is central. Spirituality refers to the person's attachment to what inspires and gives him foundation, as well as the beliefs, values, and existential experiences associated with it, whether these are religious in nature or not. Although the concept has been identified as a resource in the literature and widely treated in an end-of-life context, assessing the needs of patients with hematological cancer and their loved ones in terms of spirituality from the initiation of treatment does not has not been developed
