The crucial manipulation involves the careful control of tempora...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The lumbar square block is an interfascial block of the posterior wall of the abdomen, initially described for the management of postoperative pain in abdominal surgery due to its suggested effect on the T7-11 roots. The analgesic efficacy of type 1 lumbar square block (QL1) in hip surgery was subsequently published. Regarding chronic pain, QL2 has been successfully performed in posttherniorrha...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Intraoperative hypotension has been associated with cardiovascular events after non-cardiac surgery. However, whether avoiding intraoperative hypotension can reduce the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular events remains unclear. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of an intensive intraoperative blood pressure management strategy (to maintain intraoperative MAP ≥ 80mmHg) w...

Sep 30th, 2022 - This is a randomized open-label phase II trial comparing paclitaxel/margetuximab/pertuzumab (TMP) to paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (THP) in patients with anatomic stage II-III HER2 positive breast cancer.

Sep 30th, 2022 - In the pervious study, the investigators demonstrated that 4 weeks of training using both high FIO2 and high flow through an HFNC significantly improved the 6MWD compared with training using a 6 L/min nasal cannula. However, it was unclear whether the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation under HFNC were due to high FIO2, high flow rate, or a synergistic effect. It is also unknown whether there a...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Part 1 of the study is an exploratory comparison of the relative oral bioavailability of the two dispersible tablets versus risdiplam powder for oral solution as the reference. The effect of food on the bioavailability of the two dispersible tablets will be assessed by comparing fed and fasted states in a five-way crossover manner. It will also be assessed whether antacids (omeprazole) have an ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - AIMS AND HYPOTHESIS The first aim of this study is to test the effects of "Stop sexual harassment", a sexual- and gendered harassment prevention intervention in secondary school among 8th to 10th grade pupils. The second aim of the study is to test the effects of the intervention on teachers' responses to sexual- and gendered harassment among the pupils. "Stop sexual harassment" is targeted at ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Background Diffuse midline gliomas are the most aggressive brain tumors of childhood and young adults, with documented 2 year survival rates of <10%. These tumors are infiltrative midline high-grade gliomas. Treatment failure is due in part to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits permeability of varied agents. Efforts to evaluate drug delivery across the BBB in midline gl...

Sep 30th, 2022 - This will be a randomized, double blind, three-arm, single dose, parallel group, PK, PD and safety and immunogenicity study in healthy, adult, subjects. The study objectives will be to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of the Test product Vs. US-LICENSED XOLAIR and Test product Vs. EU-APPROVED XOLAIR following single subcutaneous ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Study Description: This will be a phase 2, open label, single arm study of denosumab treatment to prevent fibrous dysplasia (FD) lesion progression in children. Objectives: Primary Objective: Evaluate the effect of denosumab on FD lesion progression in children. Secondary Objectives: Evaluate the effects of denosumab on FD lesion activity. Evaluate the effect of denosumab on strength and mobili...
