Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of
INCB7839 is an inhibitor of the ADAM (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease) 10 and 17 proteases. Neuronal activity regulates glioma growth through neuroligin-3 (NLGN3). ADAM 10 is the protease responsible for NLGN3 release into the tumor microenvironment and represents a promising therapeutic
TKR is one of the most common orthopedic surgical procedures. Because TKR involves extensive muscle and bone repair, it is known to be one of the most painful operations. Moreover, as prosthetic surgery is an elective procedure, patients delay and experience anxiety about surgery due to their
RESEARCH QUESTION Does intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) 10mg/kg plus Oxytocin 5 International Units (IU) result in a lower incidence of primary postpartum haemorrhage compared to Oxytocin alone after elective caesarean section.
RATIONALE FOR THE RESEARCH Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major
BACKGROUND:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among reproductive age women with a prevalence as high as 15% using Rotterdam diagnostic criteria.1 PCOS is a heterogeneous clinical disorder characterized primarily by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism.2 A
The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). PV and ET can evolve into myelofibrosis, termed post PV/ET MF.
This is a Phase III, parallel-arm, open-label continuation of the PROUD-PV study performed in adults diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera (PV). Patients who received AOP2014 in the primary study, PROUD-PV will continue on AOP2014, patients who received HU in the PROUD-PV study will receive best
Introduction:
Major hepatectomy lead to significant postoperative anatomical and physiological changes. The liver dictates the systemic metabolic environment and helps maintain homeostasis. When segments of liver are removed, it is challenged to regenerate and restore cellular volume, as well as
Problem: There are approximately four million live births in the United States annually. Pregnancy induces multisystemic physiologic changes in the mother as her body accommodates the growing fetus. Known physiologic alterations include venous distension, hypercoagulability, and hormonal changes.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To evaluate the difference in overall survival of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer with unfavorable prognostic features between a) standard treatment (androgen-deprivation therapy [ADT] + radiotherapy) and b) standard treatment with the addition of 24 months
This is a single arm open label clinical study in Chinese men of 45 to 75 years of age with Type 2 Diabetes. Subjects will be recruited from participating family medicine clinics with the FMRN and followed for 90-days. All subjects will continue on pre-study treatment regimens and medications as
The inflammatory response after major abdominal surgery is of great importance for patients, physicians and perioperative medicine1. Perioperative excessive stimulation of the inflammatory and hemostatic systems may result in development of postoperative ileus, ischemia-reperfusion syndromes,
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a common hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of transformed plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow1. Over the past decade, the introduction of immunomodulatory agents (such as thalidomide and lenalidomide) and proteasome inhibitors (such as bortezomib) as
Primary systemic amyloidosis (AL) is a plasma cell dyscrasia where amyloid fibrils are formed by monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains and deposit in various organs causing tissue damage and dysfunction. It is a rare disease with an incidence of 8 patients per million per year. Virtually all
The specific aims of this study are to:
1. Compare patient responses to selected modes of therapy (activity) without and with an ETM protocol
1. Molecular responses: markers of inflammation interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10
2. Physiological responses: peripheral oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood
