Filter by:Lung involvement in Sjögren's syndrome is common and causes reduced quality of life and increased mortality. Sjögren's syndrome-related lung diseases (SS-RLD) are classified and treated as the primary lung diseases they resemble. Whether this approach is optimal has not been evaluated thoroughly. A critical gap in knowledge is knowing whether SS-RLDs have a unique clinical course and response to therapy. Given the underlying immune system dysfunction in Sjögren's syndrome, the investigators hypothesize that patients with SS-RLD will be more likely to respond to immunosuppressive therapy than patients with the matching primary lung disease. To address this hypothesis, the investigators will prospectively screen for Sjogren's syndrome in patients presenting to pulmonary clinics and compare the clinical course and response to therapy in Sjogren's syndrome positive and negative patients.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to see if a new device (SCD) is safe and if it can reduce damage to the kidney enough to allow medications to work to improve heart and kidney function for use in patients that have moderate to severe heart failure and is at least in part due to heart failure and it not responding to standard medical therapy. The SCD is a cartridge used with a commercial hemodialysis unit. Participants will be enrolled in the clinical trial once eligibility is confirmed. In addition to clinical assessments and laboratory testing participants will have surface echocardiograms during the trial. The SCD treatment will take place for 4 hours on day 1, 3, and 5 while on hemodialysis.
The study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of IBI188 in combination with azacitidine (AZA) as a first-line treatment in subjects with newly diagnosed higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This study aims to compare, in subjects with obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) treated by long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV), resting energy expenditure (REE) in spontaneous breathing and under NIV. The hypothesise of this study is that REE will be lower under NIV than under spontaneous breathing.
Interstitial cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/PBS) is a constellation of symptoms of pelvic discomfort that includes both bladder-related pain as well as urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia in the absence of an identifiable etiology that affects likely more than 5.4 million patients in the United States. There is a significant overlap in patients with IC/PBS and those with fibromyalgia and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been shown to be effective for the treatment of chronic pain conditions. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if LDN improves pain scores and lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with IC/PBS. A secondary aim is to show that it has a low adverse event profile.
The primary objective in this proposed study is to determine the effect of dietary fish oil supplementation compared to standard care metformin treatment, and fish oil in combination with metformin on plasma lipids and apoB-remnant lipoprotein metabolism in overweight-obese young women with PCOS.
The overarching long-term goal is to develop a CTS Treatment Center within the Hand Clinic that offers a variety of established and emerging treatment options in a multidisciplinary program. The ultra-minimally invasive carpal tunnel release would be one component of the program. Furthering the knowledge with regard to ultra-minimally invasive carpal tunnel release outcomes would facilitate the Hand Clinics ability to offer this procedure as a component of individualized care in the CTS Treatment Center to facilitate delivery of the appropriate level of care to the right patient.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the selective cytopheretic device on the immune dysregulated state of congestive heart failure(CHF) with CRS and to assess the benefit of the device to improve cardiovascular and renal function. The study will enroll eligible patients in the ICU with acute on chronic systolic heart failure and worsening renal function due to cardiorenal syndrome while awaiting LVAD implantation. In this study patients who are eligible and agree to participate will receive treatment with the SCD. The treatment will be for 6 hours a day up to 6 days. Additionally, participants will have additional study procedures and be evaluated to determine if their kidney function improves enough to undergo LVAD implantation.
montelukast & dydrgesteron will be given to cases with suspected or proven ovarian hyperstimulation in one group in comparison with dydrogesteron alone in the other group.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of a radioactive agent linked to an antibody (211At-BC8-B10) followed by donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has come back (recurrent) or isn't responding to treatment (refractory). 211At-BC8-B10 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving chemotherapy and total body irradiation before a stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells, called graft versus host disease. Giving cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, and tacrolimus after a transplant may stop this from happening.
