Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an orphan disease, characterised by the progressive accumulation of jelly-like material within the abdomen, which occurs in approximately 1-2 people per million per year. Advanced disease is often the result of tumour perforation and seeding of tumour cells within the

A study of the peritoneal ultrafiltration achieved with Carry Life® UF compared to standard PD therapy, performed in 12 stable PD patients. The study consists of one baseline study session with Icodextrin overnight and one four-hour, 2.27% glucose exchange and three Carry Life® UF treatments with

Study Facility: Pre-study Screening: Patients come to ENT/Oral and Maxillofacial/Plastic and Reconstructive surgery outpatient facilities. Typically, an ENT specialist handles early cases (biopsy proven malignancies), while ENT and plastic surgeons jointly deal with advanced cases. Patients

Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has

Study Design The study will involve two phases. The first phase will be to compare the release of the component vitamins in two chewing gum products into the saliva. This will employ a parallel design in which half the subjects (7 - 8) chew a product marketed for athletes "Sport" and half (7 - 8)

Undernutrition among dialysis patients is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Conversely, in hemodialysis (HD) patients a high BMI in the range of obesity has long been known protective against death and cardiovascular disease, a phenomenon called reverse epidemiology.
