Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate to the combination of folate receptor alpha dendritic cells (FRaDCs) plus pembrolizumab in patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Vaccines made from a person's peptide treated white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
This pilot study investigates whether advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (ADW-MRI) can differentiate between true tumor progression (TP) and a pseudoprogression (PsP) in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) or brain metastases.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in women. 50% of women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime with an annual prevalence of 0.5-0.7%. An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a probiotic strains on the urinary tract microbiota in participants with recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). The study duration will be 6 and a half months, including 6 months product intake. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three study groups: control group with placebo administration, probiotic administration group (1 dose) and probiotic administration group (2 doses).
The investigators will obtain three-monthly voice recordings and fiberendoscopic examinations of the larynx/hypopharynx for a minimal period of 6 months from all laryngeal/hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC/HPSCC) patients, who have successfully completed curative primary treatment, except those who underwent total laryngectomy. Furthermore, the investigators will ask the patients to fill out the voice handicap index-30 questionnaire (VHI-30) during each study visit. The VHI-30 allows to make a subjective assessment of the patients' own vocal problem. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility and compliance of longterm regular voice monitoring in LSCC and HPSCC follow-up.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of ex vivo expanded natural killer cells in treating patients with cancerous (malignant) tumors affecting the upper part of the brain (supratentorial) that have come back (recurrent) or that are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Natural killer (NK) cells are immune cells that recognize and get rid of abnormal cells in the body, including tumor cells and cells infected by viruses. NK cells have been shown to kill different types of cancer, including brain tumors in laboratory settings. Giving NK cells from unrelated donors who are screened for optimal cell qualities and determined to be safe and healthy may be effective in treating supratentorial malignant brain tumors in children and young adults.
This is a prospective, observational clinical study with150 patients of persistent AF (trial group 1), 150 patients of paroxysmal AF (trial group 2), and 150 healthy subjects (control group). The trial is divided into two parts. The aim of first part is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of magnetocardiography on diagnosing persistent AF, and the second part is to evaluate the independent predictors of magnetocardiography on predicting recurrence of paroxysmal AF. The patients who had been diagnosed with AF in OPD or IPD will be included. After signing the informed consent letter, medical history of all subjects will be collected, including magnetic cardiogram, 12-lead electrocardiogram, holter electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound and blood tests. Patients with paroxysmal AF will be followed up for 3 months, and the recurrence of AF is the observation end point.
This Phase III Trial will determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early- stage breast cancer (EBC) patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 (for pN0 patients) and 0-25 (for pN1 patients).
When conducting the Shouldice procedure the 4-layer suture of the transversalis fascia is usually done with Prolene worldwide. At the Shouldice hospital the wire has originally been used for these augmentation. During the last decade several Shouldice Surgeons started to use the Prolene due to occasional delivery problems of the wire from Germany. The 1-year- recurrence rate at the Shouldice hospital is 1,15% (mainly wire-use). The published 1-year recurrence rate in Europe is 2%. As quality assessment, this project intends to evaluate these two options for suturing (wire vs Prolene) in the elective inguinal hernia patient in terms of 1-year recurrence rate. The population of focus will be those who had a primary or secondary inguinal hernia operation at Shouldice Hospital and the project is estimated to take 3 months.
Orthodontic treatment goals can be expressed as achieving ideal tooth alignment, esthetic, functional occlusion and stability. Various occlusal changes occur after active phase of orthodontic treatment, these unwanted changes are called relapse. Reitan pointed out that major percentage of changes following active phase of treatment is seen within 24 hours. To alleviate the effect of relapse, retention is needed. There is little agreement among clinicians about orthodontic retention protocol due to insufficient evidence in the literature on 1. time of retainer delivery 2. unexpected post- treatment changes. 3.quantification of relapse tendency. The present study will be undertaken to assess the changes and compare if there is any difference in the movement of teeth in post orthodontic treatment cases with immediate and delayed (post 24 hours) retainer delivery. Thus help in deciding when should the retainer delivery is preffered.
Maintaining teeth in their corrected position after orthodontic treatment is one of the most challenging part of orthodontic treatment and hence a period of stabilization termed as retention is provided after orthodontic treatment. Retention is one of the most important phase of orthodontic treatment that attempts to keep teeth in the corrected positions after treatment with orthodontic braces. Following literature search there is no scientific evidence for the timing of retainer delivery.The present study is designed to know if post orthodontic tooth movement vary with different time of retainer delivery and since there is unusual delay after debonding as the retainer is fabricated at the laboratory. Such a study will help us to find out within which time period the retainer should be delivered
