Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Background:
Zinc is a metalloprotein. The two important function of zinc are- first, unlike other metals zinc is virtually non-toxic (1). The homeostatic mechanisms that regulate its entrance, allocation, and excretion from cells and tissues are so well-organized that no disorders are known to be
Explanation (of rationale for current study):
Despite the encouraging case report described above, oseltamivir has not been rigorously tested in humans to determine its efficacy in the management of ITP. Oseltamivir is an attractive drug for ITP since it specifically targets a pathophysiologic
Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in the context of insulin resistance and relative lack of insulin. According to recent survey reports
BACKGROUND
Much of the clinical practice of oncology involves palliative care. In this setting ,the emphasis is on alleviation of symptoms and preservation or improvement of quality of life. A large body of clinical evidence documents the effectiveness of local-field external beam radiotherapy in
Background:
- Patients with non-metastatic carcinoma of the anal canal are treated with concurrent mitomycin C (MMC), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and radiotherapy (RT) in the curative setting in an attempt to preserve the anal sphincter.
- Radiation dermatitis is a uniform complication of this therapy
1. HYPOTHESIS AND STUDY OBJECTIVES
1.1. HYPOTHESIS
Ingestion of bovine colostrum powder (BCP) from cows immunized to insulin will improve non alcoholic steatohepatitis and the metabolic syndrome in patients suffering from these conditions
1.2. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
1.2.1 To determine the efficacy of
This will be an open randomized trial in children designed to measure the impact and efficacy of daily zinc administration. There will be two groups in the study, one group will receive Zinc in the form tablets, other will receive in the form of suspension, both of these groups will also receive
This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to compare the efficacy and safety of standard-dose colchicine (STD)(total dose = 4.8 mg) versus low-dose colchicine (total dose 1.8 mg) or placebo for the treatment of acute gout flares. Eight hundred
GVHD occurs when the donor's immune system recognizes a patient's body as foreign and reacts against it. GVHD may result in skin rashes and blistering, liver inflammation and gastrointestinal problems including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding. Mild GVHD may be treated with topical
Mastocytosis in infants and children is an unusual disease characterized by an excess of mast cells in tissues. In pediatric onset mastocytosis, disease is usually localized to the skin and disease is considered to be of limited duration. However, a subset of children appear to develop a clinical
This protocol is designed to examine those growth potentiating and inhibiting factors which regulate mast cell number in patients with mastocytosis, and to explore the molecular basis of the disease process in hopes of improving therapy. Patients entered into the study are seen initially and may
