Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are extra-nodal, malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas of diffuse large B-cell type confined to the CNS or eyes without evidence of systemic spread. PCNSL account for up to 1% of all lymphomas and 3% of primary brain tumors. Despite recent progress in PCNSL
Lymphedema is a debilitating disorder that severely impairs the quality of life of the patients and requires life-long attention. It can be classified as primary or secondary, based on the etiology. Primary lymphedema is a rare, congenital disorder caused by inherited genetic mutation on a number of
This study is a phase I dose finding trial to determine if chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells targeting the CD19 antigen and containing the inducible caspase 9 safety switch can be safely administered to adult subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell Lymphoma. The safety of iC9-CAR19 cells
To date anthracycline chemotherapy regimens still play a major role in many cancer treatments, approximately 32% of breast cancer patients, 57-70% of elderly lymphoma patients, and 50-60% of childhood cancers survivors are treated with an anthracycline regimen.
Of these patients, approximately
The investigators propose a longitudinal imaging pilot study composed of 20 Stage I-III NSCLC patients before, and six weeks after standard radiotherapy using a hybrid 3T-PET/MRI system (Biograph mMR, Siemens Healthcare) and a GE Revolution 256-slice CT scanner. The imaging protocol is designed to
Definition : Ascites is the pathologic fluid accumulation within the peritoneal cavity .

- Hepatobiliary disorders (cirrhosis, congenital hepatic fibrosis, acute hepatitis B,C ,Budd -chiari syndrome, Bile duct perforation)
- Serositis (crohn's disease,
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced the death rate from AIDS and improved the quality of life of many HIV-infected individuals. However, ART does not eradicate HIV as demonstrated by the rapid return of viremia whenever treatment is interrupted. The possible long-term toxicity
This is a pilot study with a descriptive study design.
Anthracycline induced late onset cardiotoxicity, defined in terms of abnormal findings on echocardiography, has been reported to occur in 57% of childhood cancer survivors. Serial monitoring of cardiac function by means of echocardiography
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
BACKGROUND:
KSHV inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) is a newly recognized syndrome caused by Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). It is characterized by severe inflammatory symptoms including fevers, wasting, cytopenias, hypoalbuminemia, and hyponatremia, associated in some cases with
Abstract Purpose: Our aim is study to determine the efficacy and safety of intravitreal adalimumab in patients with active vision threatening uveitis, diabetic macular edema (DME) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) despite standard treatment and to ensure its safety in intravitreal use in humans
Intravenous Infliximab is currently used for the treatment of systemic inflammatory conditions and inflammatory disease of the eye with a relatively favorable safety profile. However, systemic administration carries the risk of systemic side effects, which in the case of infliximab can be severe,
