Filter by:A total of 80 patients with complex fistula in ano of both genders were included. All patients in Group A underwent a loose seton technique. In group B, video-assisted fistula tract surgery (VAAFTS) was performed.Twice daily Sitz baths, analgesics, and stool bulking agents (bran) were used in follow-up care. Repeated examinations were carried out every four weeks and recurrence was noted at the end of three months
This study is a prospectively and retrospectively enrolled, post-market, open-label, non-randomized, single institution evaluation of clinical outcomes of primary or revision knee surgery patients who meet the eligibility criteria and received devices from the Triathlon Hinge Knee System according to its indications for use (IFU). Clinical evaluation for all cases will include data collection of patient demographics, surgical details, early postoperative status, functional and clinical outcomes, and survivorship at 1, 2, 6, and 10-years.
This phase II trial studies the effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and the timing of treatment with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in treating patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic), and that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cells. ADT lowers the amount of androgen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need androgen to grow. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors work by blocking the effects of androgen to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Giving SBRT alone with watchful waiting may be as effective in treating prostate cancer as giving SBRT together with ARPI and ADT.
Major risk after pulmonary embolism (PE) is recurrence, fatal in 10% of patients. Patients with PE can be stratified in 3 groups according to the risk of recurrence : very low risk, high risk or Intermediate risk. Little is known about this last group. Anticoagulation is efficient to prevent recurrence but is currently not recommended for patient with an intermediate risk of recurrence. Identifying risk factors of recurrent PE remains a major issue to identify sub-groups of patients who would require lifelong anticoagulation. In 30-40% of cases, PE patients develop residual pulmonary vascular obstruction (RPVO), which has been found to be associated with an increased recurrence risk. This last observation was mostly reported in patients with unprovoked PE (patients with high risk of recurrence) and RPVO was measured using conventional planar lung scan. In patients with an intermediate risk of recurrence, the impact of RPVO has been much less studied. In addition, the definition of RPVO was variable according to studies and correlation between RPVO burden and recurrence risk has not been clearly demonstrated. This might be explained by the inherent limitation of RPVO quantification using conventional planar imaging, which is only based on a visual estimation on 2-dimensional images. Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (V/Q SPECT/CT) is a new method of scintigraphic image acquisition that offers the advantage of 3-dimensional imaging, enabling more accurate and reproducible quantification of RPVO. The main hypothesis of this study is that in patients with PE at intermediate risk of recurrence, RPVO computed with V/Q SPECT/CT imaging may be an important predictor of recurrence.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RO7617991, and will make a preliminary assessment of the anti-tumor activity of RO7617991 in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02 eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma-associated antigen A4 (MAGE-A4)-positive solid tumors.
PUMA-ALI-1201 is a randomized, dose optimization, multicenter, Phase 2 study of alisertib administered in combination with endocrine therapy in participants with pathology-confirmed HR-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) following progression on or after at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. This study is intended to evaluate the optimal alisertib dose administered in combination with the selected endocrine therapy. The study is also planned to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of alisertib in combination with endocrine and to identify the biomarker-defined subgroup(s) that may benefit most from combined alisertib and endocrine therapy.
Nearly 10% of the Belgian population suffer from kidney stone disease. Recent reviews reported that kidney stones represent an underestimated risk factor for further kidney function deterioration. Preventive measures are recommended in lithiases patients to prevent the formation of new stones. The individual effects of different medicated prosthetic interventions have been documented in clinical trials. However, there is little data on the effectiveness of combining these different preventive measures in routine clinical practice (real-world context). Patients with kidney stone disease require a complete metabolic assessment. The three main factors contributing to the stone's formation are the patient's metabolism, diet and lifestyle. Metabolic work-up is recommended by the American Urology Association to identify and correct the factors responsible for urinary stone formation such as hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricuria, hypocitraturia or abnormalities of urinary pH. The metabolic work-up includes at minimum the 24h urine test, a blood test and spot urine test. Dietary habits and lifestyle are assessed by means of a questionnaire. The CHU Brugmann Hospital has a specialized multidisciplinary clinic for renal lithiases and mineral metabolism. Preventive personalized and interdisciplinary care in CHU Brugmann consists of a full metabolic work-up allowing the identification of lithogenic risk factors by nephrologists, dietary assessment by specialized dieticians and specific treatment protocol associated with regular follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate, in the context of a retrospective single-center cohort study, the effect of preventive personalized and interdisciplinary care on the evolution of all urinary lithogenic risk factors and the recurrence of kidney stones (rate of renal colics, emergency room admissions, and urological interventions).
A standard treatment for endometrial cancer is chemotherapy and pembrolizumab together followed by pembrolizumab maintenance for two years. This treatment regimen has shown benefit in terms of delaying cancer progression in prior clinical trials, but the benefit of the pembrolizumab maintenance treatment and whether all participants need it is unclear. This research is being done on the maintenance portion of treatment to compare the efficacy between the combination of letrozole + abemaciclib and pembrolizumab alone following chemotherapy and pembrolizumab. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Abemaciclib (a type of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor) - Letrozole (a type of aromatase inhibitor) - Pembrolizumab (a type of monoclonal antibody)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence rate and severity of pre-specified mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV)-related ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and assess prophylaxis strategies in all participants (symptomatic and asymptomatic) undergoing prospective ophthalmic evaluation with recurrent ovarian cancer (participants with either platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer [PSOC] or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer [PROC]) with high folate receptor alpha (FRĪ±) expression.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) works to treat idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis (IRAP) in adults. It also clarify the efficacy of ERCP in the diagnosis of IRAP. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ERCP reduce the frequency of pancreatitis episodes in IRAP patients? Does ERCP contribute to identify the etiology of IRAP patients? Participants will be randomly allocated to receive ERCP (pancreatic sphincterotomy and pancreatic stent placement) or conservative treatment and be followed for 1 year.
