PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. For patients without PET-evidence of extrapelvic metastases, to evaluate whether the addition of enhanced systemic therapy to standard of care (SOC) salvage radiation therapy (RT) could prolong progression-free survival (PFS). II. For patients with PET-evidence of extrapelvic

HYPOTHESIS Beige/BAT has been shown as a promising strategy to treat obesity. The exact mechanism, and stimulus, of activation of this tissue have not been completely clarified. However, some studies have identified some nutrients, such as unsaturated fat, as a potential stimulus for activation. The

The investigators conducted a prospective study to investigate the performance of 18F-choline (FCH) PET/CT and 18F-NaF PET in the patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. 18F-NaF PET imaging protocol: Fasting is not needed before radiotracer injection. No specific drug restriction is needed. Scan will

Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder affecting 510% of women of reproductive age. It is a disorder that affects the reproductive, endocrine and metabolic functions and is the leading cause of chronic anovulation leading to infertility. PCOS is characterized by

This is a prospective, single blind, two arm, randomized, controlled trial to test the efficacy of an oral care protocol to treat oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving radiation (RT) or chemoradiation (chemoRT) for head and neck cancer. This trial will also measure salivary proinflammatory

General Objective To evaluate the influence of the incorporation of copper or zinc nanoparticles into a dental adhesive on its antimicrobial action and their influence on dentin matrix metalloproteases activity. To analyze adhesive mechanical properties and biocompatibility Specifics Objectives 1.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of denosumab on bone turnover in individuals with fibrous dysplasia (FD). Secondary objectives are to determine the effect of denosumab on bone pain, FD lesion intensity as revealed in 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scan, and

Each subject will have two PET/CT scans, one using 68Ga-DOTATOC and the other using 18-Fluoride-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). The 68Ga-DOTATOC radioactive tracer is manufactured for this study under a Clinical Trial Application filed with Health Canada. 18F-FDG is considered standard care and has

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer among men. The incidence of PC has increased dramatically in Finland since 1980´s and lately approximately 4.500 new PC cases have been diagnosed annually in Finland. About one quarter of diagnosed PC are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Accurate

18F-AlF-NOTA-neurotensin is a radioligand targeting the neurotensinreceptor, which is widely expressed on the cell surface of PCa. The radioligand can be used for the diagnosis and stage of the PCa. A total of 5 volunteers and 60 PCa patients will be subjected to a 18F-AlF-NOTA-neurotensin PET/CT

18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide is a radioligand targeting the somatostatin receptor, which is widely expressed on the cell surface of NENs. The radioligand can be used for the diagnosis and stage of the NENs. A total of 5 volunteers and 60 NEN patients will be subjected to a 18F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT

Epidemiology, clinical manifestations and prognosis Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory self- limiting disease with non-suppurative inflammation involving one or multiple bone foci. The disease occurs primarily in children and adolescents. The

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether the addition of 6 cycles of cabazitaxel to abiraterone acetate in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that have previously received docetaxel and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) can improve

This research proposal is unique in that it compares two different methods of applying neutral sodium fluoride to prevent dental caries and improve compliance in this at-risk population. Given that compliance with use of fluoride trays has historically been poor, there is controversy as to which

This study was designed as double-blind, randomized, crossover study to evaluate the influence of a triclosan-containing toothpaste in the profile of osteo-immunoinflammatory mediators in the PICF of smoker individuals and in the clinical measurements during the progression of experimental
