Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
DCB has emerged as a new interventional option to treat obstructive CAD. Characterized by non-stent-based local drug delivery system, DCB has several advantages over drug-eluting stent(DES).Paclitaxel DCB inhibits excessive neointimal hyperplasia of a diseased lesions without leaving a permanent
Dialysis vascular accesses such as Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) and Arteriovenous Grafts (AVG) are surgically created vasculatures used for hemodialysis in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). A functioning dialysis vascular access is critical to the delivery of life-saving hemodialysis (HD)
Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse effect of cancer therapy, effecting over half of all patients who receive chemotherapy. CIPN typically manifests as a symmetrical, predominately sensory peripheral neuropathy, and is most
DEDICATE Registry:
DRUG ELUTING STENT FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE TREATMENT
A POST MARKET REGISTRY OF ABLUMINUS® SIROLIMUS ELUTING CORONARY STENT SYSTEM FOR PERCUTANEOUS INTERVENTION IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS
Version 1.0
Principal Investigator Dr. Luca Testa, MD, PhD
Design
The study is a national, multicenter, non-interventional, observational, prospective registry.
Population
Patients older than 18 years old of age, have acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention electively and with available admission hemoglobin, white blood cell and
Chemotherapy of recurrent ovarian cancer leads to severe thrombocytopenia in a considerable proportion of the patients, requiring treatment delays or dose reductions, and placing the patient at a high risk of bleeding complications. The amount of thrombocytopenia is highly schedule-dependent. In
Paclitaxel DCB is designed to release anti-proliferative agents to the whole lesion rapidly and homogenously to inhibit excessive neointima proliferation and is associated with rapid healing of endothelium. As a result, DCB therapy reduces the risk of coronary thrombosis. Since only 1 to 3 months
Gemcitabine plus nub-paclitaxel (GA) regimen was recently presented at an international oncology meeting and represents a new standard regimen in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. GA is one of the high response rate treatment regimen, the investigators considered as a promising
Rationale: Choice of the appropriate size of stents in the treatment of coronary artery stenosis can often be challenging. Marked tapering of vessels' diameter in their proximal-distal development may lead to sub-optimal results. Distal under-expansion of the drug-eluting stent (DES) or vessel
Ramucirumab is a human IgG1 (Immunoglobulin G) monoclonal antibody that targets the extracellular domain of VEGFR-2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor). A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluated the addition of ramucirumab to docetaxel compared with docetaxel and
This protocol outlines a proposal to investigate whether the use of a dark-coloured nail polish or OnicoLife nail drops, compared to standard care, from commencement of taxane based chemotherapy until three months after completion, is effective in preventing or minimising chemotherapy-induced nail
Although the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) has reduced in-stent restenosis when compared to bare metal stents (BMS) and decreased the incidence of adverse clinical events (1-2), DES therapy is limited by delayed arterial healing, late acquired malapposition and neo-atherosclerosis leading to an
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most frequent cause of death, accounting for approximately 13% of all deaths. In western countries, the incidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is around 77/100 000/year, whereas in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary
