The overall purposes of this research are to determine if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has the same healing effect on the brain for people with depression as traditional antidepressants do, and in comparison to healthy controls with no history of depression, to find out more about the causes of depression including differences in the extent of problems caused by depression. We hypothesize that CBT will have the same healing effect on the brain as antidepressants; that differences in brain activations created by the various tasks and genetic differences will help us understand differences in the type and severity of symptoms among the depressed subjects.
This study is an open-label, multicentric, exploratory, single arm, phase II study of adults who are either more than 60 years old, or are unfit for intensive chemotherapy and allo SCT. The patients are treated with NILOTINIB, administered orally twice daily, for 6 weeks (Course A) followed by IMATINIB, administered orally twice daily, for other 6 weeks (Course B).The courses will be repeated (rotated) for a total of 4 times or until relapse, or until it is in the interest of the patients. Prednisone (P) will be administered to all patients for 7-14 days, before TKIs, so as to make it possible to wait for the results of cytogenetic and molecular tests, and to evaluate the response to P alone, hence for another 21 days. Intrathecal therapy (IT) with MTX/AraC/DEX is mandatory, monthly, in patients without clinical-cytologic evidence of meningeal involvement, while in patients with CNS involvement it is performed twice weekly until clearance of leukemic cells, hence once weekly. IM will be administered at the dosage of 600 mg daily (300 mg twice daily) and Nilotinib at the dosage of 800 mg daily (400 mg twice daily) in all courses. All patients are scheduled to receive at least 4 courses of either drugs, for a total of 4 courses (4 x 6 = 24 weeks). After 4 courses, patients are either allowed to continue the treatment until relapse or progression, if it is in their interest, or to discontinue the treatment and receive other therapies.
The aim of this prospective, randomized study of Bulkamid treatment is to investigate the efficacy of Bulkamid treatment in women with urinary stress incontinence not suitable to TVT-procedure because of suspected ISD.
This is a prospective randomized controlled study to evaluated the efficacy and safety of kunxian capsule in treating of patients with early ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The major outcome index is proportion of patients achieving ASAS20 response at week12, and minor outcome indexes include ASAS50 and ASAS70, BASDAI20,BASDAI50 and BASDAI70. The adverse events at any time were recorded to evaluate the safety.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether human acellular dermal matrix plug is effective in the treatment of anal fistula
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cylindrical abdominoperineal resection is effective in the treatment of advanced very low rectal cancer
Many studies were already performed showing beneficial cardiovascular and metabolic effects of physical training for type 2 diabetic patients. However, glucose profile during and immediately after a short period of aerobic and/or resistance training was not studied yet. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) has now been added to the repertoire of technological devices useful in the management of patients with diabetes. Such monitoring enables clinicians to detect occult hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia not otherwise discernable with intermittent testing of blood glucose. The main aim of the present study is to investigate continuous blood glucose profile (using CGMS) over 72h, beginning 24h before and ending 24h after a single bout of aerobic or aerobic/resistance physical training in type 2 diabetic patients.
Primary Objective: To compare, after 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, the evolution of the improvement of pain (at rest and during / after exercise) in the questionnaire WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index), achieved with Condroflex ® oral administration(sulfate glucosamine + chondroitin sulfate sodium) in association with therapeutic exercises, compared to placebo in association with therapeutic exercises in individuals with knee OA and not exposed to prior treatment with the products under investigation.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the impact of a Medication Adherence Program (MAP), a systematic telephone call to patients who are overdue for refills, to assess individual reasons or barriers to refilling prescribed DM medicines, discuss diabetes care progress, and provide intervention to resolve any barriers to taking prescribed medicines. The hypothesis for the study is that personalized telephone follow-up by a pharmacist will assist people who have missed refilling their prescriptions in taking diabetes medicines by resolving medication adherence challenges. Following randomization, the intervention will be offered to patients of four Seattle-area Safeway Pharmacies, Inc, who are overdue for prescribed DM medicine refills by at least 6 days. Control subjects will receive usual pharmacy care at the participating Safeway pharmacies as a comparison. The study will provide medication adherence support to intervention subjects for 12 months following enrollment with the goal of improving medication refilling and persistence.
