Feb 3rd, 2023 - Background: Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is most often attributed to inactivating germline mutations in the E-cadherin (CDH1) tumor suppressor gene. Mutation carriers have a 24-70% lifetime risk of developing gastric adenocarcinoma. International consensus guidelines recommend endoscopic screening and surveillance of CDH1 mutation carriers who decline risk-reducing total gastrectomy...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - BACKGROUND: Prevalence of sexual dysfunction is high, although estimates are variable. For men, the reported level of sexual difficulty, taking all conditions into account, is around 33% or up to 46%. For women, the reported level of sexual difficulty is higher, with estimates up to around 66%. Sexual dysfunctions are associated with a negative impact on the quality of life in both men and wome...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a local, non-interventional, multi-center, single-cohort study using primary data of patients treated with Xofigo for the indication of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with bone metastases. A total of 300 patients (valid for safety analysis) are enrolled within 18 months. During the observation period (i.e. up to 6 months), safety and effectiveness information is collected. ...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a multicenter, open-label study in adult patients with PA to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CIN-107 after up to 12 weeks of treatment, at doses from 2 to 8 mg per day, for the management of blood pressure in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Research Design and Methods Overview of Study Design & Procedure. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to determine the efficacy of a behavioral intervention targeting health communication skills and diabetes self-management skills in preparation for the transfer to adult diabetes care, compared to usual care. The intervention, Plan, Reflect, and Engage with Providers for Diabet...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Epidemiological evidence indicates that bus driving is associated with increased risk for obesity and some chronic diseases, and that it is time for interventions. In this regard, the early transition into bus driving has been neglected. Not only are interventions lacking for new employees entering potentially obesogenic occupations, but workplace training and socialization programs for new hir...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Esophageal atresia a congenital condition requiring surgical intervention. The most common configuration is Gross type C, proximal EA with distal TEF (EA/TEF). The operation for type C includes tracheoesophageal fistula closure and esophageal anastomosis creation. Although mortality has markedly decreased since the operation was first described, overall complication rate remains at 62%, with th...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Background: The human gut microbiome is a topic of growing research interest because it modulates many systems, including immune function; and, alterations of the microbiome have been associated with the development of many diseases, including cancer. Optimization of the gut microbiome can increase the probability of responding to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with responders exhibiting a...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This study will compare the safety and effects of HAI floxuridine and dexamethasone combined with the standard chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) with those of GemOx alone in people with untreated cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery. The researchers want to find out whether the study treatment works better than the standard chemotherapy to delay progressio...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This trial is part of a Research Program partly funded by a grant from the Walloon region entitled "Development of Markers of Sarcopenia Using an Integrated Approach : From Cell to Human". Consistent with the above-mentioned observation, there is not only one biological marker that perfectly matches the sarcopenia criteria but there is a range of complementary biomarkers - including but not lim...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a phase 4, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy of a single injected dose of Benzathine Penicillin G (BPG) 2.4 MU (Arm 1) compared to three successive weekly injected doses of BPG 2.4 MU (Arm 2) for treatment of early syphilis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects. The study will enroll 560 adults (to achieve 420 evaluab...
