Acromegaly is a rare, chronic, disabling disease of endocrine origin that causes several debilitating systemic dysfunctions due to the excessive production of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) (Gadelha et al., 2017).
In 98% of cases, the disease is caused by a sporadic
Rationale: Cancer related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most prevalent and distressing long-term complaints reported by (non-)Hodgkin survivors. So far, there is no standard treatment. Some non-pharmacological interventions have shown large effects but show limitations as well, e.g. they are labor
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
Study aim, background, and design
Herpes Zoster (Shingles) is a major cause of pain and expense to the elderly and chronically ill. The incidence is estimated at 3 in 1,000 patients. Zostavax™ is a high dose, live varicella vaccine that has been validated in very large placebo control trials to
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
1. Introduction to investigational treatment(s) and other study treatment(s)
1.1 Overview of gemcitabine Gemcitabine (29,29-difluoro 29-deoxycytidine, dFdC) which developed from cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an nucleoside analog used as chemotherapy. It was intended as an antiviral drug in
1.0 Hypothesis Moderate to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) will respond to treatment with Denosumab, (a monoclonal antibody to Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor-Kappa B ligand (RANKL)
The principal research questions to be addressed:
1. Determine if a single dose of Denosumab can induce a
Scientific background. Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular diseases. It is believed that the high cardiovascular risk in diabetes is attributable to the adverse effects of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity on endothelial cells. Recent data
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the effect of flexible vs. fixed administration of G-CSF (filgrastim) on the parameters of hematological recovery including duration of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500/uL; time to ANC recovery >= 1,000/uL and time to platelet recovery >= 75,000/uL in children
There have been important advances in the modulation of the immune system for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.
This protocol will build upon these previous observations as follows:
- Haploidentical peripheral blood pheresed cells will be used at 1-2x108 CD3 cells/kg.
-
Background: Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) inhibitor belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) class of medications. Adult studies have evaluated single dose and short term courses of Celecoxib and shown improved postoperative analgesia. One pharmacokinetic
Selection of the Regimen for Immunosuppressive Therapy
Cyclophosphamide with ATG is a common conditioning regimen with two decades of experience in the treatment of aplastic anemia, and has been used safely without reported mortality in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus
BACKGROUND:
- Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an angiocentric destructive proliferation of lymphoid cells predominantly involving the lungs, skin, kidneys, and central nervous system.
- It is divided into three grades, depending on the degree of necrosis and cellular atypia. The grades of
