Problem: Chronic steroid use causes a wide range of side effects, of which bone disease and adrenal suppression cause significant morbidity. Bone disease, which includes osteopenia, fractures, and osteonecrosis, is very common. In patients on chronic steroids, fractures can occur in up to 30-50%,
Objectives of the trial
Primary objective The aim is to perform a feasibility study to show that VEGF PET imaging using 89Zr-bevacizumab as tracer can be used for early breast cancer detection.
Secondary Objectives A secondary aim is whether positive lymph nodes can be detected.
End-points
- The
False alarms may be particularly prevalent in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where uncontrolled motion of infants can intensify the problem. The performance of pulse oximeters is of particular importance in the NICU because of the danger that both hyperoxemia and hypoxemia pose to newborns;
Abdominal pain and Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease among Caucasians. CF is caused by a single gene mutation on chromosome 7, which encodes for a membrane protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR channel
Background
Acute chest pain triage in the Emergency Department (ED) may prove challenging, since similar symptoms can reveal both mild or life-threatening disorders, and the clinical presentation itself is known not to be reliable for evaluating the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .
The first
Patients with COVID-19 usually present in the ED and receive their initial medical check-up here. It is the ED where crucial diagnostic and therapeutic steps are taken and where the decision for admission or discharge is made. As of now, the effectiveness and value of these initial measures and
Pancreas is an important retroperitoneal organ with exocrine and endocrine functions. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal diseases among all cancer types. It moved from the fourth to the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and is anticipated to become the
Investigators will perform a feasibility study followed by a randomized, controlled study on critically ill neonatal and pediatric patients on oxygen therapy.
Investigators will use a model-based adaptive control architecture to regulate FiO2 settings. A major advantage of using an "adaptive"
The alpha feto protein level showing liver function is lower in babies with Down syndrome and this biochemical marker is one of the basic parameters of triple screening.
If these babies have insufficient liver function, then it is likely that there is a decrease in hepatocyte growth factor in these
Background
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) stands as the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The overall 5-year survival is approximately 50 % due to often advanced clinical stage at diagnosis, high rate of treatment resistance, and high incidence of second cancers. Currently there are

Detailed statistical analysis plan for the difficult airway management (DIFFICAIR)
The majority of gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures currently performed in the United States are done under moderate sedation, primarily utilizing the combination of an opioid and benzodiazepine. The endoscopy team administers the medications, most commonly the endoscopy nursing team at the
