Filter by:Colorectal cancer (CRC) in Egypt is advanced tumors at diagnosis. Although, the dramatic increase in efficacy, reduction of mortality, and improvements in survival by the use of standard doses of chemotherapy, some CRC patients suffer from severe toxicities besides disease progression. Use of chemotherapy less than the maximum tolerated dose, with no prolonged drug free breaks incapacitates the cells to engage in progression mechanisms, suggesting that it could be a better alternative to standard dose therapy with better toxicity profile
Lower partial duodenectomy could be indicated in case of injury, wide neck diverticulum, tumor invasion by other tumors such as retroperitoneal sarcoma and primary tumor of 3rd and 4th portion of the duodenum. Reconstruction after resection is usually performed by a end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis. The investigators analyze the short and long-term results of a case series with resection for various lesions in the third and fourth duodenal portions and reconstruction of the intestinal transit through side-to-side duodenojejunostomy
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of total wrist denervation on pain by assessing the surgery survival. The residual functional wrist's quality and the patients' satisfaction will also be evaluate.
In the hospice ward, there are lots of suffered hospital patients with multiple physical discomfort related to terminal disease. Investigators want to use an objective measure instrument to monitor the effects of complementary and alternative medicine and clinical symptoms. First, investigators use the Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD) to measure the bilateral 12 Yuan points (primary points) of terminal hospice patients. It provides the prediction value between terminal disease and the change of different meridian energy. Besides, the meridian energy value maybe predict the survival period. Then, the intervention of complementary and alternative medicine can also monitor via MEAD.
1. Understanding the smoking change patterns among the newly diagnosis lung cancer patients after cancer diagnosis. 2. Explore the related factors of the smoking change patterns. 3. The type of smoking trajectory impact on survival and quality of life.
A retrospective clinical study will be performed evaluating a large number of partial ceramic restorations (IPS e-Max press, Ivoclar, Liechtenstein) placed in general practice. Evaluation will be based on the well established Hickel criteria (Hickel et al, 2010). Rationale: IPS-e-max press has been made available to the market since 2006. Although millions of these restorations have been placed worldwide, clinical data are available of less than 200 single restorations only, covering observation periods of 2-8 years.(Guess et al, 2009; Etman en Woolford, 2010; Gehrt et al, 2012; Esquivel-Upshaw et al, 2012). Objective: Study the survival of lithium disilicate restorations during regular check-ups in a private dental practice.
To prospectively assess the mechanical ventilation management when its provided by Emergency Physicians in French Hospital, and to assess complications and outcome of these patients. The study could be measure the proportion of patients developing an Acute Respiratory Failure Distress after a take care of by French Emergency Departments.
The clinical evidence shows that patients with a first episode of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are increasingly old and with greater comorbidity with a recognized impact over mortality. The prediction of the outcome of ICH is not only crucial in the emergin attention to identify those patients with favorable criteria that can benefit from possible treatments; but also after hospital discharge, in primary care where the prediction should facilitate the organization and management of a wide variety of resources: familiar, health and social welfare. Even though there are different scales that predict mortality, these are not sufficiently useful in choosing a treatment or do not provide sufficient data to the family to decide. Due to the characteristics of the population with ICH described in these works, it seems useful to propose a prognostic index (ICHCat) to identify the variables associated to its incidence and mortality and that, in addition, to make adjustments in the comparisons of the survival between different series of patients or different treatment modalities in primary care.
- The primary aim is to document the incidence and short-term outcome of the elderly ICU patient (≥ 80 years) using a multicentre, multi national approach - The secondary aim is to investigate the properties of a simple frailty index in this cohort, and in particular if this is an instrument that can be used in resource and outcome prediction in this group - To create hypothesis for further studies, in particular on various outcome prediction
Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) is an auxiliary antitumor treatment. The investigators aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy combined with CIK in the treatment of postoperative colorectal cancer patients. And to provide useful reference for the clinical application of CIK in colorectal cancer patients.
