Filter by:The concentration of 16% carbamide peroxide is the highest concentration that European regulations allow for use in home whitening (Council directive 2011/84/EU). This concentration allows for faster results, but instead patients may suffer more frequently from dental sensitivity. The most commonly described side effect of all whitening procedures is the appearance of dentin hypersensitivity, hence the efforts to counteract or overcome this adverse effect. The objective of the study is to clinically evaluate the difference in dental hypersensitivity produced by home dental whitening treatment using 16% carbamide peroxide in a tray for two hours daily applied daily or every other day for three weeks.
Oral immunotherapy(OIT) is effective in desensitized food allergy. OIT protocols are not standardized, and a wide heterogeneity exists in the literature . So the purpose of our study is to compare short term unresponsiveness rate between once daily dose and four times/week dose during one year maintenance phase of wheat OIT
The proposed research project will evaluate a novel behavioral intervention that promotes early adolescent food allergy self-management and adjustment through 1) food allergy education, 2) problem-solving, communication, assertiveness, and anxiety management skill building, and 3) peer support.
Dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most commonly occurring clinical dental conditions which is characterized by short and sharp pain which arises from exposed dentin in response to external stimuli, which typically are thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical. Hypersensitive dentin is mostly found in buccal tooth areas, in which enamel is missing because of abrasion, attrition, or erosion. The most generally accepted theory regarding the mechanism of dentin hypersensitivity is the hydrodynamic theory. It proposes that a pain-provoking stimulus increases the flow of the dentinal tubular fluid and consequently, stimulates the nerves around the odontoblasts, leading to dentin hypersensitivity.
The ADAPT study is an observational study of apalutamide, which can be given to patients with hormone sensitive metastatic prostate cancer as standard of care. The clinical decision for patients to have apalutamide as part of their management plan will be decided by the clinician. The patient will only be approached about the ADAPT study if they decide they want to have apalutamide as part of their management. The aims of the ADAPT study include documenting the biochemical effectiveness, as determined by the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and impact of apaluatmide on health related quality of life. The blood test for PSA is regularly monitored as standard of care. Additionally, the impact of apalutamide on fatigue, cognitive function, patients reported outcomes, health related quality of life will be evaluated using patient questionnaires answered at defined timepoints. The questionnaires will be sent either electronically or via post at week 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 104 weeks after commencement of apalutamide. Currently, the majority of data regarding tolerability and biochemical response to apalutamide has been from large phase III trials, where there are strict eligibility criteria. Real-world data as from the ADAPT study can provide valuable complementary data to randomised controlled trials, which can be used to address the 'generalizability' limitations of randomised control trials and can provide evidence on the external validity of their findings. This information can advance knowledge of patterns of care, treatment effectiveness and side-effects and inform clinical practice to improve outcomes.
To evaluate the safety and tolerance of MCLA-129 combined with Befotertinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR-sensitive mutations.
This research is studying a drug called dupilumab to learn about its safety and its effect as a treatment for participants with dermal hypersensitivity reaction. This study will help better understand why and how dermal hypersensitivity reaction occurs and how dupilumab might help treat this condition.
The aim of this multi-surgeon, single institution study is to prospectively evaluate the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) following application of AQUACEL Ag, a silver-containing hydrofiber dressing, in total hip and knee arthroplasty patients. Arthroplasty-naïve patients will be compared to prior total joint arthroplasty patients who received a Aquacel dressing postoperatively.
Wound complications can be devastating following total joint arthroplasty, resulting in an increased practice burden in the form of more frequent follow ups, increased clinic visits potential for wound dehiscence, superficial infection and deep infection with possible return to the operating room and revision surgery. Several dressing options are currently on the market designed to minimize wound complications in addition to traditional dressings, including negative pressure dressing, antimicrobial dressing, occlusive dressings, and/or skin adhesives. Prineo dressing (2-octyl cyanoacrylate adhesive (Dermabond) and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate adhesive) has increased in popularity as a dressing option used by joint arthroplasty surgeons. There is a well-documented adverse allergic response with these dressings resulting in peri-incisional erythema, urticaria, and/or an eczematous skin reaction. Recently, Mayman et al reported a rate of 1-1.5%, suggesting a possible rising incidence of ACD attributable to increased utilization of the specific dressing and sensitization. To our knowledge, no prospective trial has compared the rates of adverse allergic reactions in Prineo naive patients to patients who have undergone previous total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and received Prineo dressings in the past. The study team will utilize a prospective controlled study design to assess the rate of adverse allergic reactions in patients naive to Prineo versus those with previous exposure. The study team will assess rates of allergic reactions at one week post-op and at their first post-op clinic visit, 2 to 3 weeks post-op, tracking rates of allergic reactions as well as severity, the use of post-operative antibiotics, work up for prosthetic joint infection, return to the operating room, surgical site infection, confirmed prosthetic joint infection and stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia.
This is an observational study in which only data are collected from participants receiving their usual treatment. In this study, data will be collected and studied from men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men that starts in the prostate gland, a male reproductive gland found below the bladder. Metastatic means that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Hormone-sensitive means it can be treated with hormone-therapy such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT lowers the level of testosterone, a male hormone, and slows down the growth of cancer cells. Men with mHSPC and who have been decided by their own doctors to be treated with darolutamide in combination with ADT and docetaxel can join this study. Darolutamide works by blocking the testosterone signals to slow the growth of the cancer cells. Docetaxel is a medicine used to treat different types of cancer. It works by stopping the growth and spread of cancer cells. Darolutamide in combination with docetaxel and ADT is an approved treatment for men with mHSPC. It was approved based on a study called ARASENS. More information is needed on how safe darolutamide is when given with ADT and docetaxel in Japanese men with mHSPC. The main purpose of this study is to collect information about the safety of this combination treatment in Japanese participants with mHSPC under real-world conditions. The main information that researchers will collect: Number and severity of heart-related medical problems participants have during the treatment Other information that researchers will collect: Number and severity of all medical problems participants have during the study Age and other information about the participants such as their illness, medical history, and other medicines taken at the same time Treatment pattern of darolutamide such as the amount of medicine given, the duration for which it is given, and any changes made to the treatment Data will be collected from August 2023 to July 2026. Researchers will observe participants from the start of darolutamide treatment until 30 days after they receive their last dose of docetaxel, which is expected to be approximately 6 months for each participant. In this study, data from regular health visits will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
