Every year in Italy more than 100,000 persons aged > 65 incur in a hip fracture [Piscitelli et al. 2010; Tarantino et al. 2018]. The direct costs sustained by National Health System both for hospitalization and rehabilitation following hip fracture in elderly people were estimated in more than one

One of the current treatments for choroidal neovascularization in exudative age related macular degeneration (ARMD) involves a combination of laser photocoagulation (PDT) and injections of an anti-inflammatory (Dexamethasone) and an anti-angiogenic (Bevacizumab). This combination therapy is designed

Phase 1: To assess the safety and tolerability of Nab-paclitaxel added to oxaliplatin and capecitabine at their currently optimal doses. Phase 2: To determine the anti-tumor activity of Nab-paclitaxel when co-administered with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with irresectable or

It is proposed that patients with skin disease due to presumed immunologic, genetic or viral-induced abnormalities, patients with neurological degenerations, and normal controls be evaluated with various in vitro studies of immunologic, genetic, and virologic function. This is to include studies of

The purpose of this study is to test whether the addition of EMST to PhoRTE Voice Therapy is at least as effective as PhoRTE alone for improving acoustic, aerodynamic, and patient-reported outcomes in patients affected by age-related vocal fold atrophy. Voice therapy is often the first-line

Individuals who are defined as having treatment-resistant major depression (failure of at least 2 trials of an antidepressant at an adequate dose) and currently meet DSM-IV criteria for depression qualify for this study. At the initial visit, each subject is given an MRI in order to perform a

Tissues in the genitourinary system are both androgen- and estrogen-dependent. The clitoris, vestibule, urethra, anterior vaginal wall, peri-urethral tissue, and pelvic floor are androgen-responsive. In addition, the minor vestibular glands and the major vestibular glands (Bartholin's and Skene's)
