18F-DOPA and 11C-5-HTP are used to evaluate neuroendocrine metabolism . 18-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) PET is usually a poor indication for NETs since these neoplasms tend to be metabolic inactive, and thus FDG-PET is only used for high grade more aggressive NETs . Only a combination of several
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects over 250,000 individuals in Canada. It is comprised of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The dysregulated inflammatory response targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the hallmark of IBD and can lead to significant physical and
Background and significance:
Currently, more that 5.3 million Americans (or 2% of the population) live with disabilities resulting from TBI. Among OEF/OIF Veterans, TBI incidence estimates as high as 23% have been reported, with mild TBI (mTBI) being the most common.1 This proposal addresses the
Systemic mastocytosis is a disorder caused by clonal mast cell proliferation and release of mast cell mediators including tryptase. As a result, mast cell numbers may increase and affect target organs including the dermis (maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis/urticaria pigmentosa, flushing),
Study design and sample description of this study was performed at the Department of Oral Surgery of Clinical Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb, Croatia.
Respondents are the patients who need to do the operation of both lower third molars and due to this they are in the Clinical Hospital Dubrava. All
This will be an open-label prospective study design with respect to MS immunomodulatory therapy choice. Study group will be defined as subjects with a relapsing form of multiple sclerosis as defined by the McDonald criteria choosing to begin dimethyl fumarate (DMF) therapy. Blinding of the principal
This is a single center, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on tumor growth and symptomology (clinical and biomarkers) following a single intralesional injection of PV-10 in subjects with neuroendocrine tumors metastatic to the liver. Subjects will be divided into two
Our primary outcome is to assess the safety of Dotarem in these patients up to 24 hours after Dotarem injection. The patients will be monitored in the hospital for at least 2 hours following the completion of the MRI exam. Many of these patients will have received sedation for the MRI and would be
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate the response rate to ibrutinib in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM) (aggressive systemic mastocytosis [ASM] or mast cell leukemia [MCL], or SM-associated hematologic non-mast cell disorder [AHNMD]) by the end of 6 cycles (6 months).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
Though limited, research suggests school-based water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) improvements are capable of reducing pupil absence from 35-42%. However, few studies have rigorously evaluated the impact of comprehensive WASH in Schools (WinS) improvements on pupil absenteeism; to date, no
The study population will consist of patients with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) neuroendocrine tumors with suboptimally controlled carcinoid syndrome. While the majority of patients will have primary tumors of the ileocecum (midgut), any serotonin-producing neuroendocrine tumors will be
If you are willing to participate in this study you will be asked to undergo some screening tests and procedures to confirm that you are eligible. Many of these tests and procedures are likely to be part of regular cancer care and may be done even if it turns out that you do not take part in the
The colonoscopy with biopsies will be done as standard of care; additional biopsies will be taken for research purposes as detailed above. All of the imaging techniques are part of the accepted standard of care as follows: high definition white light, narrow band imaging, chromoendoscopy, and
