Filter by:Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men and in the UK approximately 14,000 men are treated with radiotherapy. Around half of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will also have an enlarged prostate making it difficult to pass urine. When having radiotherapy, the prostate swells further which can lead to complete blockage of urine flow (urine retention), sepsis and kidney failure in severe cases. Radiotherapy itself can also cause urinary symptoms meaning that some patients can continue to have difficulty passing urine long after their cancer treatment finishes. Around a third of patients will need an operation to shrink their prostate before radiotherapy to prevent these possible short and long-term problems. The standard operation is a transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). This involves cutting a channel through the prostate to improve urine flow. This will be compared with a newer procedure known as UroLift. During UroLift, clips are inserted into the water pipe to pin back the prostate to widen the channel and improve urine flow. Which treatment is more acceptable to patients and gives better outcomes has never been tested before in men having radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The study will help us to understand how the treatments impact on a patient's quality of life and understand what matters most to patients. The results of this feasibility study will help us design a bigger study to assess TURP and UroLift in a larger group of patients across different hospitals. This research will help future patients make decisions about prostate cancer treatment choices that can affect their long-term well-being.
This is a first-in-human, non-randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TN-201 in adult patients with symptomatic MYBPC3 mutation-associated nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).
The objective of this interventional study is based on the hypothesis that coelioscopique surgery could be used to reduce breast hypertrophy. This study can be expected to scientifically validate the use of laparoscopic surgery to obtain a clinical result in the context of reduction of medium volume breast hypertrophy.
The EXCITE-HCM study is a randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial designed to evaluate the effect of moderate intensity exercise training versus usual physicial activity on the improvement of HCM-related symptoms and cardiac function. About 70 participants will be recruited and randomized on a 1:1 ratio to either moderate intensity training or usual physicial activity interventions. Patients will be followed during a period of 24 weeks and assesesments as physical examination, questionnaires, 12 lead ecg's, biomarker levels, echocardiogram, Cardiac Magnetic resonance, PET and CPET will be performed to evaluate their response to the intervention.
The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.
The present trial is undertaken as a pilot study on selected patients, to evaluate the ability of acute hemodynamic testing to optimize pacing therapy and to predict the response of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (OHCM) to pacing, in terms of reduction of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) pressure gradient and functional capacity improvement. The Primary Objective is to demonstrate a long-term reduction in LVOT obstruction at rest and/or after Valsalva/Exercise > 30% in patients responding to acute stimulation test
The goal of this clinical trial study: is to determine the effect Botulinum toxin type A iontophoresis in hypertrophic scars for post burned patients. The main question is it aims to answer is: - Does Botulinum toxin type A iontophoresis may help in minimizing postburn hypertrophic scars? - Participants will receive the treatment for 3 months. - Assessment will be done before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of aficamten (CK-3773274) compared with metoprolol succinate in adults with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Fatigue and dyspnea that reduce exercise performance are common symptoms in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Since the cause of this functional limitation has not yet been described, this study aims to evaluate the cardiopulmonary parameters measured at cardiopulmonary exercise test in combination with those obtained by non-invasive measurement of cardiac output by impedance (Physioflow) and echocardiography. These results will help to better define the mechanisms underlying limitation in these patients, also in relation to the degree of LVOT obstruction. The aim of the present study is to assess the cardiopulmonary response to exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, based on the degree of LVOT obstruction, by adding non-invasive measurement of cardiac output by Physioflow and echocardiographic parameters to the cardiopulmonary exercise test parameters associated with stroke volume and cardiac output (ie. VO2/WR, O2pulse) Consecutive patients with a previous diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on optimised medical therapy will be enrolled to perform a cardiopulmonary exercise test with simultaneous measurement of cardiac output and an exercise echocardiogram for clinical routine.
The objective of the proposed project is to quantify the prevalence and disparities of undiagnosed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in Emergency Department (ED) patients with persistently elevated asymptomatic BP, and to measure the effect of disclosure, education, and expedited referral on 3-month outpatient follow-up and treatment rates for ED patients with newly diagnosed LVH by POCUS. Additionally, investigators will create a database of annotated clips for future development of a machine learning algorithm for LVH detection on POCUS.
