EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND MAIN ASSUMPTIONS OF THE PROJECT.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication (IC), which is characterized by the occurrence of pain, cramps, numbness, and discomfort in the lower limb
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the largest cause of global mortality accounting for over twenty-nine percent of all deaths with coronary heart disease and stroke projected to become the global leading causes of mortality by 2020. Increased mortality represents only one side of the problem since the
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an important manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is characterized by obstruction of the arteries of the lower limbs. PAD is usually associated with vascular complications that occur not only in peripheral circulation but also in cerebral and coronary
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy on disease-free survival of a formula enriched with L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and ribonucleic acids, taken for 5 days before each cycle of chemotherapy, in patients with high-risk locally-advanced HNSCC treated with postoperative concomitant
Treatment options for multiple myeloma have increased significantly over the last years with the approval of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) and proteasome inhibitors (PIs). These therapies have markedly improved overall survival for these patients to a median of 5-7 years, many continue to live for
Following consent, patients will be assigned a unique study identification number (ID). A master list linking patient ID to patient name and medical record number will be maintained on a password protected and encrypted departmental server location with access limited to research staff. Patients
The most important reason for the development of preeclampsia is the problem of trophoblastinvasion and consequent formation and development of placenta is not healthy
Cytokines are regulatory molecules that have effects on cell functions.Cytokines are molecules that also regulate endothelial
Between July 2016 and April 2017 eligible patients were recruited among the outpatients attending the Obesity Center of the Endocrinology Unit 1, Cisanello Hospital, Pisa, Italy. Patients aged 18-75 years with serum LDL-C between130-180 mg/dL, not significantly modified by an appropriate dietetic
The incidence of head and neck cancer (HNC) has increased in Sweden during the last decades. Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone of treatment either as single or combined modality treatment. There is emerging awareness that RT affects the immune system. For HNC patients treated with RT nutritional
The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to test the safety of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) and pembrolizumab when used together in participants with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), urothelial carcinoma,
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be asked to perform a few tasks to learn about your strength, memory, and nutrition. These should take about 20 minutes to complete.
Study Groups:
You will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) into 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the value and/or limitations of using orally supplemented arginine (L-arginine) to improve renal function associated with the use of anti-angiogenic therapies that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2
Brain metastasis, the most common intracranial tumor, is associated with neurological disability and short survival time. For selected patients this outcome can be improved by achieving greater local control. Virtually all cancer patients with brain metastases receive radiotherapy; a majority as
An estimated 18 million men in the United States are diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction (ED). ED is a physical condition triggered by a man's mental, emotional, and medical state. Defined by the repeated and consistent problem sustaining an erection suitable for sexual intercourse; ED can lead to
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine if there is a differential effect of NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) on tumor and normal tissue vasculature (blood flow/volume) in patients with advanced solid tumors in order to propose a safe recommended dose range for further evaluation.
Secondary
- To determine the
