You are given a short description of a clinical trial. Please generate one or multiple interventions that fit the description.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a health concern among Asians. Growing evidence indicates that Korean Americans had higher MetS prevalence compared to non-Hispanic Whites, but a culturally and linguistically appropriate lifestyle intervention has not been developed for Korean American middle-aged and older women. Thus, the investigators propose to develop a 4-week lifestyle intervention (Women's Active Living for Koreans (WALK) Study) to increase physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behavior for Korean American women.

Participants are initially randomized to receive tildrakizumab 200 or 100 mg once weekly at Weeks 0, 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter; or placebo at Weeks 0 and 4. At Week 12, participants initially randomized to placebo will be re-randomized to receive either tildrakizumab 200 or 100 mg at Weeks 12 and 16. At Week 28, all participants enrolled will be assessed for their improvement in PASI score from baseline. RESPONDERS: Participants initially randomized to tildrakizumab who achieve at least a 75% improvement from baseline PASI will be re-randomized to either continue on their initial treatment or to receive placebo at Week 28. - Participants who are re-randomized to continue on their initial treatment will continue tildrakizumab 200 or 100 mg every 12 weeks through Week 64. - Participants who are re-randomized to placebo will receive placebo every 4 weeks until relapse (reduction in maximum PASI response by 50%). If relapse occurs, the tildrakizumab dose that the participants was originally randomized to at baseline will be re-initiated (tildrakizumab 200 or 100 mg). Participants will be dosed tildrakizumab at the visit when the relapse occurs, and subsequent dosing of tildrakizumab will be given 4 weeks after treatment re-initiation, and every 12 weeks thereafter through Week 64. PARTIAL RESPONDERS: Participants initially randomized to tildrakizumab who achieved a PASI response of ≥50% but <75% improvement from baseline will be assigned a treatment regimen as described below, with their first dose started at Week 28. - Participants initially randomized to tildrakizumab 200 mg will remain on tildrakizumab 200 mg every 12 weeks. - Participants initially randomized to tildrakizumab 100 mg will be re-randomized to either remain on tildrakizumab 100 mg every 12 weeks or to receive tildrakizumab 200 mg every 12 weeks. - Participants initially randomized to placebo who achieved ≥50% improvement from baseline in PASI will receive tildrakizumab (200 or 100 mg) according to their re-randomized treatment assignment at Week 12 and continue on this treatment every 12 weeks through Week 64. NON-RESPONDERS: Participants who did not achieve at least 50% improvement from baseline PASI at Week 28 will be discontinued from the study. EXTENSION: Participants will receive tildrakizumab 200 mg or 100 mg every 12 weeks through Extension Week 192, depending on the treatment received at the time of completion of the base study.

RATIONALE: Pomalidomide and bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pomalidomide and bortezomib together with dexamethasone may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with pomalidomide and dexamethasone and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

There is both a poor life expectancy and a poor prognosis of limb salvage in those patience with stenoses or occlusions of the lower limb (TASC Consensus). To date only a small number of these patients could be helped through medication or surgery. In fact within the first year following diagnosis of a critical limb ischemia 25% of patients lose their leg and 90% have to undergo a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or bypass surgery. Using PTA for treatment of long infrapopliteal artery lesions, stenosis reoccurs in 70% to 80% of cases 3 months after index procedure. Even the use of drug-eluting balloons leads only to 1-year primary patency rates up to 30%. The primary objective of this study is to compare the performance of atherectomy followed by a drug-coated balloon angioplasty over drug-coated balloon angioplasty alone in long de-novo infrapopliteal lesions in a prospective, single-center, randomized clinical trial.
PRIMARY OUTCOME: <MEASURE: primary patency; TIME_FRAME: 6 months; DESCRIPTION: Primary patency of the target lesion 6 months after index procedure measured by duplex ultrasound (PVR>2.4) and angiography (core lab analysis).; > SECONDARY OUTCOME 1: MEASURE: target lesion revascularisation (TLR); TIME_FRAME: 6 and 12 months; DESCRIPTION: Need for target lesion revascularisation from baseline to 6 months after index procedure.; >;

A growing body of research has highlighted the importance of frontal regions, at both the functional and structural levels, in age-related declines in attentional and cognitive processing. However, the underlying neurobiological pathophysiological changes in the brain that contribute to these declines are still largely unclear. The objective of this proposal is to investigate neural mechanisms of age-related attentional distractibility, focusing on the neural circuit initiated from the locus coeruleus (LC). In the current proposal, the investigators will test the hypothesis that the neural dysconnectivity of LC with the salience network (SN) drives failures of ignoring distractors in older adults. The investigators will examine how LC-SN connectivity is associated with selective attention performance, and how improved LC-SN connectivity through a cognitive training program may lead to improved attentional performance.

The Relative Effects of Androgen, Estrogen, and the Combination of Androgen and Estrogen on Growth Rate, GH Binding Protein, IGF-I, and Cognitive Function in Growth Hormone-Treated Girls With Turner Syndrome
Turners Syndrome is a genetic condition in females that is a result of abnormal chromosomes. Patients with Turner syndrome are typically short, have abnormal physical features, and lack the physical changes normally associated with puberty. In addition, some patients with Turner syndrome have low bone density (osteoporosis) and differences in learning abilities. This study will research the effects of steroid hormones on patients with Turner syndrome. It will look closely at how taking steroid hormones effects the patient's rate of growth as well as the patient's ability to learn. In addition the study will investigate how different hormones (androgen and estrogen) work when given together as a combination. All patients asked to participate in this study will receive growth hormone injections. However, half of the patients will receive an additional sex steroid hormone (oxandrolone) in the form of a pill. The other half of the patients will receive a placebo or "sugar pill". This will allow the researchers to determine if the combination of the hormones produces different results than growth hormone alone. The study will last approximately 2 years. After 2 years of research the patients may qualify for an additional 2 years of treatment. Patients may benefit directly from this research with increased growth and improved ability to learn.

Assessing the safety and effectiveness of a 11-βhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitor (AZD4017), in a placebo controlled trial, in acute idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) IIH is a condition of young, overweight women with characteristic raised intracranial pressure (pressure around the brain) leading to papilloedema (swelling of the nerve supplying the eye), visual loss and headaches. Medical literature (Cochrane review) demonstrates there is little evidence for the treatments used for IIH. Weight control appears the most effective method of improving symptoms but weight loss is difficult to maintain. 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) is an enzyme which regulates local steroid levels and our previous research suggests it may influence the production of brain fluid(cerebrospinal fluid or CSF). 11β-HSD1 levels fall with weight loss and this is associated with with decreased intracranial pressure. Our primary outcome is to determine whether AZD4017, an inhibitor of 11β-HSD1, will reduce the pressure in the brain and as a consequence improve IIH. Patients are eligible to enter the study if they are between 18-55 years old with acute (<6 months) IIH, signs of active disease (papilloedema and raised CSF pressure (>25 cmH20)), no other major illnesses and have no plans for pregnancy during the study period. This is an MRC funded single centre, phase II, double-blinded, randomised control drug trial. It will be conducted at the University Hospital Birmingham and the University of Birmingham will act as Sponsor. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to AZD4017 or a placebo ('dummy' with no active drug) for 3 months with a follow up a month later. Investigations during the study will include bloods, urine samples, pregnancy tests, lumbar punctures, DXA scans and small fat/skin biopsies. Participants will benefit from increased monitoring and a potential improvement in their condition. We hypothesise that specific inhibition of 11β-HSD1 will decrease intracranial pressure and consequently treat patients with IIH, thus opening a new and entirely novel therapeutic avenue.

Vaccine-preventable diseases such as hepatitis A and meningitis, as well as cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) disproportionately impact young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). Traditional techniques of vaccination promotion have been unable to address the racial disparities in vaccination rates. One promising method for influencing behavior change within YBMSM networks is diffusion of information through Popular Opinion Leaders (POLs). The POL model engages persons who are leaders within their own networks/communities to promote behavior change. The objective of this project is to develop and pilot test a POL intervention to increase routine HAV, HPV and meningococcal conjugate vaccination among YBMSM, ages 18-26. research (PAR) framework to facilitate community support and ensure intervention strategies are salient. PAR includes community members as equal collaborators in the research process. Outcomes from these aims are expected to have an impact on health outcomes by identifying effective strategies for increasing vaccination and routine healthcare engagement among YBMSM.

Rationale for ambulatory hospitalization is based on increased demand of hospital care, hospital budgets constraints and patients who ask for a prompt recovery. Consequently, physicians should find ways to optimize the resources' allocation, without compromising quality, safety and efficiency of patient care. Several studies and routine practice have shown that ambulatory hospitalization was safe but we are still lacking evidence to demonstrate the cost-utility of this kind of management.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of outpatient surgery compared to conventional hospitalization in endovascular treatment of occlusive arterial disease. A cost-utility analysis will be conducted from a societal perspective. Patients referred for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) will be randomized in two arms and a 3 months follow-up will be performed.

Head injury is a frequent motive of consultation in paediatric emergency units and the first cause of mortality in infants of more than one year old in developped countries. The indication of performing cerebral CT scans currently depends on clinical decision based on recommendations used in adults. In this way, 60 to 90% of scans are normal in children with head injury. CT scan is expensive and irradiating with the risk of increasing the cancer in children. Protein S100B and copeptin are biomarkers which have shown their ability to detect cerebral lesion in children with head injury. (protein S100B and /or in adults protein S100B and copetin). It is the first clinical biological evaluation of severity of head injury based on dosing of copeptin alone or associated with protein S100B. Furthermore, the evaluation of the biomarkers GFAP, NFL, Tau and UCHL-1 is today necessary from a scientific point of view and to optimize the diagnostic and prognostic value of these biomarkers which can be combined. Indeed, these protein biomarkers are biologically linked to the protein S100B and copeptin, and will allow a more specific and more thorough evaluation of the presence of brain damage at the cellular level. More specifically, the measurement of the S-100B and GFAP proteins will allow evaluation of gliovascular damage while those of copeptin, NFL, Tau and UCHL1 proteins will allow evaluation of neuronal damage. The assay of these different biomarkers will also be carried out on a control population, without head injury or neurological or inflammatory pathologies, in order to establish the standards of these biomarkers on a pediatric population of similar age.

Lower extremity orthopaedic surgery and malignancy are both known major risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Guidelines from high quality data exist with regards to VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery, particularly joint arthroplasty. Far fewer data are available regarding the efficacy of various methods of pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing surgery for primary or metastatic musculoskeletal malignancies as malignancy itself is known to confer a hypercoagulable state. The existing data, including published data from our institution, are almost exclusively from retrospective studies. Given the limited external validity of existing guidelines and limitations inherent in applying data from retrospective studies, a randomized, prospective study comparing two of the most common methods of pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis would help to guide clinical care of this patient population. In addition, large dead spaces susceptible to hematoma formation are often created from tumor resections in orthopaedic oncology. Our retrospective data suggest that hematoma formation may be an independent predictor of infection. An important risk of chemical VTE prophylaxis is an increased incidence of bleeding into these dead spaces, leading to hematomas. This illustrates the complexity of selecting a method of VTE prophylaxis in patients at both high risk of VTE and hematoma formation and the need for high quality data to guide clinical decision-making in this patient population. The specific aim of this study is to compare the post operative incidence of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE) between patients who receive low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) versus aspirin for prophylaxis after having undergone pelvic or lower extremity orthopaedic oncology surgery (primary bone sarcomas, soft tissue sarcomas, and metastatic osseous disease). Our secondary aim is to compare the incidence of hematoma formation and wound complications between these methods of pharmacologic prophylaxis in the aforementioned patient population. Our hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in the incidence rate of symptomatic DVT/PE in patients administered LMWH versus aspirin for prophylaxis; however there may exist a difference in the rate of wound complications between these prophylaxis methods.

The R0 resection rate of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with high recurrence risk was relatively low, and the relapse-free survival rate was relatively low, which needed to be further improved. A few retrospective analyses and a small sample of prospective studies have found that neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib mesylate can improve R0 resection rates. Whether neoadjuvant therapy prolongs long-term survival remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) for GIST patients with high recurrence risk after neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib mesylate.

The proposed research intends to randomize 50 abstinent pregnant Black or Hispanic smokers to receive either the attentional retraining (AR) or control VP task. Participants will be asked to carry around a smartphone as they go about their daily lives for 2 weeks in their last month of pregnancy (Phase 1). The smartphone will sound an alert randomly during the day, at which time participants will be asked to respond to a short set of questions assessing subjective states; this will be followed by a request to complete the AR (or control) procedures. This same procedure will be repeated for 2 weeks immediately after delivery (Phase 2). Women will undergo a follow-up visit 3 months after the end of Phase 2, and complete an unmodified VP and follow-up assessments.
PRIMARY OUTCOME: <MEASURE: Attentional Bias- Smoking Related Stimuli; TIME_FRAME: Up to 8 months; DESCRIPTION: Attentional bias (AB) is assessed using the standard (unmodified) visual probe task on the smartphone and study visits, and measured by the reaction time (RT) in milliseconds, i.e. the time it takes a participant to identify the location of the probe after presentation of the stimulus. The AB scores will be computed as the difference in RTs on trials where the probe replaced the smoking picture vs. trials where the probe replaced the neutral picture.; > SECONDARY OUTCOME 1: MEASURE: Self-reported craving; TIME_FRAME: Up to 8 months; DESCRIPTION: Self-reported craving is a single item that assesses craving to cigarettes on a 7-point Likert scale in the daily assessments delivered on the smartphone and at study visits.

The Influence of Vasopressin on Observational Learning of Placebo Analgesia
The feeling of pain is not just a sensory experience, but is also influenced by emotions, beliefs and expectations, making pain a highly subjective experience. This is evident in clinical practice, where the behavior of the physician and the treatment context can strongly influence the pain experience of patients. Research has shown that patients' expectation that a treatment will reduce pain influences individual perception of pain, even if the treatment has no active ingredient. The expectancy-induced analgesia emerges due to a modulation of the individual pain experience of patients by an engagement of endogenous inhibitory systems in the central nervous system. The development of expectancy-induced analgesia can be generated in several ways. The investigators have previously demonstrated that social information and observational learning (e.g. the patient observes analgesia in another person receiving a treatment) can lead to expectancy-induced analgesia and pain reduction. However, the neural mechanisms (mechanisms in the brain) of how these expectancies are acquired and the neural mechanisms of analgesia induced by observational learning are unknown. The investigators recently established a procedure to investigate neural mechanisms of observational learning in placebo analgesia. Here the investigators propose to investigate the influence of vasopressin, a neurotransmitter that is important for social interaction, on observational learning. The investigators will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a non-invasive method, to investigate neural activity in humans. Participants will either receive vasopressin or saline with a nasal spray. During fMRI scanning, participants will then undergo an observational learning phase, where the study participants will learn the experience of analgesia in another person through a video, and a testing phase, where participants will perceive painful stimulations with the same cues as the observational phase. The comparison of the vasopressin group and the saline group will allow us to investigate how vasopressin influences behavioral effects of observational learning on pain perception as well as its effect on the neural processing of observational learning. A better understanding of how the human brain processes observationally-induced analgesia would allow us to improve the therapeutic context of pain treatments by increasing the contextual factors which help patients cope with pain.

Efficacy and Safety of Profile HaloTM Dual-wavelength Fusion Fractional Laser on the Treatment of Facial and Neck Photoaging: a Self-controlled Trial.
1. Fractional laser has become an important laser modality in management of a number of skin conditions and photoaging. Fractional photothermolysis is the fractional emission of light into microscopic treatment zones, creating small columns of injury to the skin in a pixilated fashion. Epidermal and dermal disruptions occur in these focal zones of thermal injury, stimulating dermal collagen production and elastic tissue formation. Fractional laser has been used successfully to treat photodamage and overall dyschromia in the Caucasian population. However, there is not much improvement in Asian population. 2. Photoaging refers to the skin caused by intense and chronic exposure to sunlight. The visible effects of photoaging are fine wrinkles, mottling, pigmentation and roughness of the skin. These changes are usually associated with chronologic aging. However, photoaging is not a good indicator of chronologic age. It just makes a person look older than his or her chronologic age. Skin ageing may be divided into two processes: intrinsic ageing and extrinsic ageing (or photoageing). Both are accompanied by changes in the morphological and biomechanical properties of skin. 3. Profile HaloTM dual-wavelength fusion fractional laser is the first hand tool in the world that integrates ablative and non-ablative fractional lasers. It includes a non-ablative fractional laser with a wavelength of 1470nm and an ablative fractional laser with a wavelength of 2940nm. A day after treatment, new epithelial tissue began to appear, and the necrotic epidermis formed microepidermal necrotic debris (MENDs). MENDs were surrounded by keratin 2-7 days after treatment, and collagen sequence in MTZs was changed 7 days later. The 2940 ablative fractional laser can be added with 20-100 micron lattice stripping, ensuring safety while enabling MENDs to be peeled off 2 days earlier and reducing the risk of side effects. This makes the laser safe and effective compared with the single fractional laser and reduces the downtime.

This study is a side protocol/extension of 10 years of ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02492555. Among 2.500 IBD patients the investigators have consecutively from the Gastroenterology out-patient clinic at North Zealand University Hospital recruited in total 120 in the study. At the out-patient consultation IBD patients has been informed about the project and the IBD eHealth nurse has ensured that no exclusion criteria was met by the patients. Inclusion criteria: IBD patients in remission, SCCAI ≤ 2 (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index )) or HBI < 5 (Harvey & Bradshaw Activity Index ) or in mild to moderate disease activity ( SCCAI 3-4, HBI < 16) IBD patients who can read, speak and understand Danish. IBD patients that can take advantage of the Internet and wireless network. 18 years or older. Exclusion criteria: IBD patients with severe disease activity HB > 16 SCCAI ≥ 5 IBD patients with social, medical or psychological issues of a more complex character. IBD patients with particularly complex issues such as drug and alcohol problems, severe mental / psychiatric disorders and / or serious social impact.IBD patients who cannot attend due language barrier or cognitive disorder. Age less than 18. When the patient has agreed to participate in the study, randomized to either OD or 3. Months (This has been done ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02492555) Patients log in to www.noh.constant-care.dk at least once every 3rd months throughout the project period of 11 years in total (2015-2026). When the patient log in to the telemedicine platform the following scorings must be filled out: 1. - Disease activity (DA), respectively SCCAI or HBI. 2. - Quality of life assessment, s-IBDQ 3. - FACIT (Fatigue score) 4. - MARS ( Medical Adherence Rating Scale) 5. - FC, fecal calprotectin mg / kg measured by the patient's own SMART phone, rapid home test. If the patients prefer to send the fecal samples for test, it will be analyzed in the ehealth gastro lab. at the hospital with a SMART phone as well. The results of the scoring systems will appear to the health care professionals and patients in a traffic light manner (red, yellow and green). If the patient experiences a recurrence of the disease, it moves from green to either yellow or red area in the traffic graph, and patient will further be instructed to contact Gastro medical clinic project nurse for an early consultation and decision on further treatment initiative. This will also be indicated at the patient's website. If alarm symptoms occurs patients are instructed to contact the project nurse. Thus patients are treated in accordance to national and international guideline. By screening of the inflammation burden (web algorithm), the decision is moving forward. Patients logging in on demand, indicate disease activity, quality of life and FC at the start, and subsequently when needed and at the end of the study (after 11 years from inclusion). At relapse, disease activity score and FC is settled and repeated no later than 7 days here after. When the patient has reached remission (green) a new DA and FC test should be performed to verify the remission. The purpose of this study is to determine if the IBD patients doing home monitoring have relative reduced rates of colectomies, resections, mortalities and cancer after 11 years of web monitoring. Relative reduced rates of colectomies etc. means - relative to standard care but also if there is a difference between the two web screening procedures on these endpoints.

Hypoglycaemia is a well-known complication of insulin treated diabetes. The counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia, with glucagon as the most important mediator, is initially diminished within a few years of onset of Type 1 diabetes and subsequently lost and thus increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia. Dipeptidyl Peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors augment the glucagon response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with a DPP-4 inhibitor in patients with type 1 diabetes will recover the alpha cell response to hypoglycaemia.

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and rectus sheath block (RSB) in providing postoperative analgesia after supraumbilical surgery in adult patients and their impact on the patient's outcomes. Background: Supraumbilical surgery for hernia repair is the second-most-popular after surgical inguinal hernia repair and is accompanied by moderate to severe postoperative pain, so patients always require large doses of opioids within the first postoperative day. Because opioids have several adverse effects such as drowsiness, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting, regional analgesic techniques are an essential component of postoperative opioid-sparing analgesia. Previous studies have shown that regional analgesic techniques after abdominal wall surgeries can be an essential element of a postoperative pain management strategy with minimal adverse effects and hemodynamic responses. ESPB provides both somatic and visceral analgesia to the abdominal wall, through the blockade of the anterior rami of spinal nerves and the rami communicants involving sympathetic nerve fibers. RSB provides analgesia to the anterior abdominal wall from the xiphoid process to the symphysis pubis, through the blockade of the anterior rami of the 7th to 12th intercostal nerves. The dermatomal distribution of ESPB and RSB makes them ideal regional analgesic techniques after abdominal surgery, and to our knowledge, there were no previous trials that studied the difference between them. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind clinical trial; carried out on 60 patients scheduled for elective supraumbilical surgery under general anesthesia at our hospital. Patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 patients each) and will receive: in group E; general anesthesia with postoperative bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB, whereas in group R; general anesthesia with postoperative bilateral ultrasound-guided RSB.

As the ADAPT-trials have clearly shown, pCR after 12 weeks of therapy, independent of the specific de-escalated neoadjuvant regimen and independent of further use of systemic chemotherapy, is an independent predictor of excellent prognosis4,19, also in patients treated by an antibody-drug conjugate alone (T-DM1), or in those receiving pertuzumab+trastuzumab+/-weekly paclitaxel. In contrast to the adjuvant setting, none of the neoadjuvant trials so far has focused on HER2+ patients with a low-intermediate risk profile (e.g., node-negative patients with cT1-2 tumours). The ADAPT-HER2-IV trial aims to close this evidence gap. Since there is some uncertainty about the optimal treatment duration in intermediate- to high-risk HER2+ EBC (e.g., tumour size >3 cm), we recommend using a longer 18-week taxane-based treatment (+/- carboplatin, at investigator´s decision) due to a large body of evidence for taxane + carboplatin combinations in patients in locally advanced stages. Antibody-drug conjugates appear to be ideal candidate drugs for a "de-escalated" treatment due to their favourable safety (reduced alopecia, polyneuropathy rates, etc.) and a high efficacy profile (e.g., comparable pCR rates after 18 weeks of T-DM1 and taxane+pertuzumab+trastuzumab in the PREDIX HER2 trial20). Similarly to the classical chemotherapy landscape, optimal duration of antibody-drug conjugate-based neoadjuvant therapy remains unclear. pCR rates of around 40% to 60% were observed after 12 and 18 weeks of T-DM1 treatment (+/-pertuzumab) in the ADAPT TP, KRISTINE and PREDIX HER2 trials in HR+/HER2+ disease21,22. Moreover, long-term survival seem to be comparable between T-DM1+pertuzumab and older chemotherapy-containing regimens (docetaxel+carboplatin+trastuzumab+pertuzumab) despite of higher local progression rates and lower pCR in one study22. Trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd) has shown promising activity in a small cohort of metastatic patients, including both HER2+ and HER2-low BC, pre-treated with several lines of therapy. Doi et al. reported overall response rates (ORR) of 58% and a disease control rate of 100% with overall survival at 12 months at in HER2+ disease pre-treated by T-DM1+/-pertuzumab in a late line setting23. T-DXd-therapy was associated with a manageable safety profile. Recently, clearly higher efficacy of T-DXd vs. T-DM1 was shown in second line metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the DESTINY-03 trial24. Median progression free survival was not reached in T-DM1-arm vs. 6.8 months in the T-DXd-arm. This effect was independent of hormone receptor status, prior pertuzumab treatment, visceral metastases, number of prior therapy lines and presence of brain metastases. ORR was doubled (34.2 vs. 79.7%), favouring the T-DXd arm.

Preparation for colonoscopy is perceived as a major impediment to participate in CRC screening colonoscopy. Hence, inadequate bowel preparation is reported in up to 25% of all patients undergoing colonoscopy. Although the quality of bowel preparation is influenced by various factors, it largely depends on patient´s compliance regarding instructions on purgatives and diet. Therefore reinforced education and guidance is a valuable tool to improve bowel preparation. A rapidly increasing number of individuals worldwide use smartphones in their daily life. Application of this new technology into patient education could facilitate and empower the patient guidance. In this study patients either receive regular information on colonoscopy preparation (paper-based) or download a SPA for reinforced reminding of the steps of colonoscopy preparation. Objective of this study is to measure the impact of a SPA on quality of bowel preparation.
This study evaluates the impact of a SPA on Quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Half of the patients receive regular paper based information on colonoscopy preparation (control), while the other half will use an additional SPA for colonoscopy preparation (coloprAPP).

The Impact of Mindful Meditation on Mobility, Cognition and Fall Risk in the Older Adult.
Falls have significant consequences for older adults, including fracture, disability, and death (1). Risk factors for falls include both impaired physical and cognitive function (1). Thus, older adults with chronic stroke are at significant risk for falls (2). Exercise is an evidence-based approach for reducing falls risk, even among those who are living with stroke-related impairments (3,4). More recently, mindfulness based meditation is gaining recognition for its positive impact on both physical and cognitive health (6,7). Thus, the investigators hypothesize that combining exercise with mindful meditation may be greater impact on falls risk reduction as compared with exercise alone. To begin exploring our hypothesis, we will conduct a 12-week proof-of-concept study among 20 older adults with chronic stroke (i.e., suffered their first clinical stroke > or = 12 months prior to study entry). Participants will be randomly allocated to either: 1) exercise; or 2) exercise + mindfulness based meditation. Outcomes will include measures of mobility, balance, and cognitive function. 1.

ABSTRACT: In patients with obstructive jaundice, multi-organ dysfunction may develop. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on liver functional restoration on patients with obstructive jaundice after surgical or endoscopic treatment. Patients with obstructive jaundice will be divided into two groups: (A) test group in which will be administered ursodeoxycholic acid twenty-four hours after endoscopic or surgical procedure and will last fourteen days, and (B) control group. Serum-testing will include determination of bilirubin, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, gama-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and cholesterol levels. These parameters will be determined one day prior endoscopic or surgical procedure, and on the third, fifth, seventh, tenth, twelfth and fourteenth days after endoscopic or surgical intervention. Our hypothesis is that patients with obstructive jaundice under treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid will have better outcome than patients in control group.
PRIMARY OUTCOME: <MEASURE: Liver functional restoration; TIME_FRAME: Within 14 days after treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid; DESCRIPTION: Serum-testing in patients with obstructive jaundice will include determination of bilirubin (total and direct fractions), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gama-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and cholesterol levels.; > SECONDARY OUTCOME 1: MEASURE: To assess that in which functional parameters of the liver, treatment with UDCA will have greater impact; TIME_FRAME: within 14 days after treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid; DESCRIPTION: determination of bilirubin (total and direct fractions), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gama-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and cholesterol levels. These parameters will be determined one day prior endoscopic or surgical intervention, and on the third, fifth, seventh, tenth, twelfth and fourteenth days after endoscopic or surgical intervention.; >;

RSV is a common virus that affects all human age groups. Typical RSV illness is identified by symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, earache, malaise or tiredness, cough, shortness of breath, headache, muscle ache, joint ache or stiffness, chilliness and feverishness. RSV spreads easily from person to person through the eyes, nose or mouth when droplets containing the virus, such as those from coughing or sneezing, are inhaled or passed to others. Adults with risk factors, like another illness or disease, may experience an RSV illness that is more severe or lasts longer. RSV may also start a worsening of health in frail adults, people with weak immune systems, and those with chronic cardio-pulmonary disease. No treatment or vaccine to treat or prevent RSV disease is available in the UK. Vaccination against RSV has the potential to be a highly beneficial and effective approach to reduce RSV disease in older adults as well as other high-risk adult and paediatric populations. The use of RSV human viral challenge model provides an important tool to evaluate the effectiveness of new RSV vaccines. Specifically, a RSV human viral challenge in 60 to 75-year-old individuals would enable measuring the effectiveness of RSV vaccines in a population that is thought to be less responsive to vaccines than the 18-45-year-old population. The purpose of this study is to infect up to 74 healthy subjects aged 60 to 75 years old with RSV in a controlled quarantine environment to confirm how safe and well tolerated the use of an experimental RSV virus infection is in a population that has not previously received the virus. Additionally, the investigators will also look at various components of the subjects' blood, the lining of their noses and other samples in order to measure the effects of the virus on the body, in particularly the immune system before, during and after viral infection. The study will consist of 3 phases: 1) Screening, 2) Quarantine and 3) Follow-up. The enrolment of the subjects will be staggered with safety data reviews performed between groups. Each volunteer will be in the study for approximately 3 months from screening to their last scheduled clinic visit.

Feasibility Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Wedge Resection for Peripherally Located Early Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and how well stereotactic radiosurgery followed by wedge resection works in treating patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer, or peripheral, areas of the lung. Stereotactic radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy, is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Wedge resection is a less invasive type of surgery for removal of the tumor and a small amount of normal tissue around it. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery followed by wedge resection may be a safe treatment option for patients who cannot receive standard treatment with lobectomy.

Histological studies suggest that HS is a disease of the follicles with apocrine involvement as a secondary event. The investigators have identified in a previous study that the Nd Yag laser is highly effective for decreasing the inflammation, pain, suppuration and frequency of recurrence of HS. Oral antibiotic therapy with Clindamycin and Rifampin has also been reported in previous studies to be a highly effective treatment regimen for HS and is commonly used by physicians in medical management of HS. The investigators would like to compare the efficacy of NdYag laser treatment combined with antibiotics versus treatment with antibiotics alone.

Long-term Prognosis of Interventional Therapy in Patients With Lower Extremity Arterial Occlusive Disease and Its Risk Factors
Along with the improvement of living standard, the prevalence of Lower extremity arterial occlusive disease (LEAOD) is also increasing, which has become an important cause of lower extremity amputation and greatly affected the patients' life quality. Currently, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), including balloon dilatation and stent implantation, has been regarded as the most widely applied and accepted treatment for LEAOD. The therapeutic effects of lower extremity interventional treatment, varied in different reports. It was reported that the therapeutic effects were influenced by some traditional risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, and so on. More risk factors are still unknown. The difference of therapeutic effects, the endpoint events were compared between interventional and conventional treatment group to analyze the effect of interventional treatment on LEAOD and explore its risk factors.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are common cardiac arrhythmias associated with an increased incidence of stroke in patients with additional risk factors. Oral Anticoagulation (OAC) reduces stroke risk, but because these arrhythmias are frequently intermittent and asymptomatic, start of OAC therapy is often delayed until electrocardiographic documentation is obtained. Technological advances in implanted dual-chamber cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices allow early detection and real time verification of AF/AFL with intracardiac electrograms (IEGM) automatically transmitted to the clinicians. Such remote diagnostic capability might be particularly relevant in patients with asymptomatic AF by allowing timely treatment. Compared to conventional periodic, (e.g., quarterly) office device evaluation, daily remote monitoring may prove superior for diagnosis of AF and prophylactic treatment of thromboembolism. The start, stop and restart of OAC based on a predefined atrial rhythm-guided strategy in conjunction with a standard risk-stratification scheme could lead to better clinical outcomes compared with conventional clinical care. The study is designed to demonstrate a risk reduction of both thromboembolism proximate to episodes of documented AF/AFL and bleeding potentiated by chronic OAC in the absence of AF. Verification of this premise would impact the clinical practice, providing evidence to physicians for the use of HM to guide OAC in patients with AF/AFL. The results of this study should demonstrate the clinical value of wireless remote surveillance of the cardiac rhythm and may define the critical threshold of AF/AFL burden warranting OAC or antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients at risk of stroke
The IMPACT Study will investigate the potential clinical benefit of the combined use of BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring (HM) technology and a predefined anticoagulation plan compared to conventional device evaluation and physician-directed anticoagulation in patients with implanted dual-chamber defibrillators or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 2.3 billion people are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Approximately 1.7 million people die of TB each year, the second most common infectious cause of death in the world. In order to improve TB control worldwide, an affordable, effective, short course treatment for latent TB infection (LTBI) is a global priority. Candidates for LTBI treatment are those persons with a positive TST or IGRA, particularly if they also have risk factors for progressing to active TB, including individuals likely to be recently infected. The Prevent TB Study (TBTC Study 26) was an open-label, randomized, phase III controlled clinical trial with over 8,000 high risk TST reactors enrolled. The study compared rifapentine and INH (3RPT/INH) given once-weekly by directly observed treatment (DOT) for 3 months (12 doses) compared with 9 months of daily, self-administered INH. The results demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the shorter regimen. Moreover, the once weekly therapy had significantly higher treatment completion rates than the standard 9 INH regimen. One of the most effective strategies for assuring adherence with therapy is to have each dose of medication directly administered by a health care worker who observes and records the ingestion of the drugs. DOT for active TB has been successfully used in many settings to improve treatment completion, however cost and logistical constraints of DOT remain. The estimated cost of giving 12 weekly DOT doses to all LTBI patients is likely prohibitive for TB control programs worldwide. This may lead to a decreased uptake of the new regimen or implementation using SAT where adherence has not been studied. Therefore, to apply the Prevent TB study results more broadly, a new study evaluating treatment completion of 3 RPT/INH given as SAT is conducted. Medication adherence is defined by whether patients take a treatment as prescribed. The effectiveness of any treatment is determined largely by adherence. In clinical practice and research, indirect measures of adherence are commonly used. Indirect measures of adherence include patient self-report, evaluation of pharmacy dispensation records, pill counts, and the use of electronic prescription bottle monitors. Patient self-reported adherence is accurate when non-adherence is reported but tends to overestimate true adherence. Self-report is not discerning enough to be utilized as a sole measure of adherence in research settings where adherence is the primary outcome. Pill counts have been utilized successfully in research and clinical settings for real-time assessment but also tend to overestimate adherence. Electronic drug monitors such as the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) are the best available tools to assess the timing and patterns of adherence. This study uses a combination of indirect measures including MEMS, pill counts, and self-report to provide the most accurate assessment of adherence to once weekly, self-administered RPT/INH. The number of cellular phone users globally has increased dramatically in the last decade. Cell phones and SMS reminders have been used successfully in randomized controlled clinical trials to improve adherence to vaccines, HIV medications, and asthma treatment. SMS appear to be cost-effective ways to reach patients in remote locations. This study examines effect of SMS on medication adherence. The goal of this open label clinical trial is to compare the adherence to 3RPT/INH given by DOT versus SAT or SAT with a weekly SMS reminder. The primary assessment of adherence will be treatment completion which is defined as taking at least 90% of the doses (11/12 doses of each drug) within 16 weeks of initiation. Secondary objectives include evaluating the patterns of adherence in participants who fail to complete, determining the feasibility and impact of using SMS reminders on treatment completion with SAT, evaluating the tolerability and any adverse events associated with each treatment arm, monitoring for the development of active TB, determining the drug susceptibility for participants who develop active TB, and measuring important patient-related expenditures associated with each study arm. The trial will be conducted in patients diagnosed with LTBI and recommended for treatment.
The study is an open label, multicenter, randomized (three arms: DOT (standard control), SAT, SAT with SMS reminders) controlled clinical trial. The trial is conducted in patients diagnosed with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) who are recommended for treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to a three-month (12-dose) regimen of weekly rifapentine and isoniazid (3RPT/INH) given by directly observed therapy (DOT) compared to self-administered therapy (SAT). The secondary objectives: - To compare the treatment completion rates between participants randomized to SAT without reminders versus SAT with weekly SMS reminders - To evaluate the timing of doses and patterns of adherence to once weekly RPT/INH among participants who complete treatment and those who discontinue therapy prior to completion. - To determine the availability and acceptability of using SMS reminders among all patients consenting to participate in the study. - To determine the toxicity and tolerability by comparing the rates of any drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events or death between the DOT arm and the SAT arms (both combined and individually) - To compare the frequency, timing, and causes for failure to complete treatment between the DOT arm and the SAT arms - To collect patient-specific cost data related to the 3 treatment arms - To describe the pattern of antituberculosis drug resistance among Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains cultured from participants who develop active TB.

Objective: Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a common problem in hospitalized patients. Either indwelling urethral catheterization or clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) can be the choice of treatment. In chronic urinary retention, most physicians prefer CIC to chronic indwelling urethral catheter on the basis of the claim that the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is lower. Method: The patients were randomized into indwelling urethral catheter and CIC groups. The primary outcomes of the study were catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria and CAUTI. The secondary outcomes were pain, hematuria, cloudy urine, and quality of life.
PRIMARY OUTCOME: <MEASURE: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI); TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; DESCRIPTION: the presence of symptoms or signs compatible with UTI and no other identified source of infection, along with ≥103 CFU/mL of ≥1 bacterial species in a single catheter urine specimen or in a midstream voided urine specimen from a patient whose urethral catheter has been removed within the previous 48 hours.; > SECONDARY OUTCOME 1: MEASURE: Pain; TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; DESCRIPTION: Using visual analogue scales; >; SECONDARY OUTCOME 2: MEASURE: Hematuria; TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; >; SECONDARY OUTCOME 3: MEASURE: Cloudy urine; TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; >; SECONDARY OUTCOME 4: MEASURE: Quality of life; TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; DESCRIPTION: assessed on the basis of social functioning (SF) that was derived from SF-36 questionnaire; >; SECONDARY OUTCOME 5: MEASURE: Catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria; TIME_FRAME: up to 12 months; DESCRIPTION: the presence of ≥105 CFU/mL of ≥1 bacterial species in a single catheter urine specimen from a patient without symptoms compatible with UTI.; >;

Patients referred to an tertiary otorhinolarynglogical clinic due to dizziness will be invited to participate in the study. The aims are to examine the prevalence, extent and distribution of musculoskeletal pain in patients with prolonged dizziness, and to investigate the associations between musculoskeletal pain, dizziness symptoms, psychological and physical function and health-related quality of life. Furthermore, the aim is to monitor the natural course of the dizziness symptoms and functional status in these patients, and examine risk factors for prolonged disability after 6 and 12 months. The hypothesis is that muscle pain and distress at baseline may be independently associated with prolonged complaints at follow-up. Finally, patients who still are dizzy and have pain after 12 months will be invited to participate in one of two group interventions a) modified vestibular rehabilitation and b) virtual reality / exergaming. The interventions will be feasibility studies with a pre-post design.
Inclusion Criteria: - Patients referred to an otorhinolaryngological university clinic due to suspected vestibular disorders (dizziness) - Patients must be bothered with dizziness at the time of consultation Exclusion Criteria: - Patients uable to fill in questionnaires due language barriers - Patients not able to undergo diagnostic and testing procedures - Patients with vestibular Schwannoma - Patients with diving-related inner ear injuries

The present trial is split into two successive parts: - Study Part I is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to obtain safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) data after 14-day multiple oral administrations of once-daily increasing doses of GFT505 (300 and 360 mg) in healthy male subjects. The starting dose of 300 mg/day has been selected on the basis of the results of previous clinical trials and corresponds to the highest dose given in healthy subjects according to a single dose regimen (study GFT505-111-7). A total of 24 male subjects will be included, 12 for each cohort (a cohort corresponding to a dose level). In each cohort, 9 subjects will receive GFT505 and 3 will receive placebo. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will have a formal meeting after full completion of at least 10 out of 12 subjects of each dose level to review under blinded conditions all safety data and to conclude on the safety and tolerability of a given dose level. Between the first and the second dose level, the SRC will give its agreement on the dose escalation, and at completion of the second level the SRC will define the supra-therapeutic dose to be administered in Study Part II. - Study Part II will be a parallel group, randomized, placebo-controlled study, with stratification by gender. The study is designed to investigate the potential impact of 14-day multiple oral administrations of once-daily GFT505 on QT/QTc prolongation under conditions of maximal GFT505 exposure, i.e. by administering the expected therapeutic dose of 120 mg/d and a supra-therapeutic dose (defined according to the results of Study Part I), to healthy male and female subjects. A single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin will be used as a positive control in order to document the sensitivity of the experimental conditions. The study treatment administration will be double-blind for placebo and GFT505 and open for moxifloxacin. The ECG readings will be performed under blinded conditions. A preliminary sample size of 128 subjects to have at least 124 evaluable subjects has been fixed by formal justification on a theoretical basis. ECG data collected during Study Part I will support a formal determination using observed data and thus will lead to a final sample size. In all cases, it is anticipated that the sample size could not be less than 124 evaluable subjects. Each gender will represent at least 40% of the study population. Both sub-groups will be balanced between the 4 treatment groups.

In phenotypic animal models of Parkinson's Disease (PD), chronic physical exercise has produced nigrostriatal neuroprotection and symptom improvement, provided training was of high-intensity and prolonged duration (>3 months in rodent models). Conventional physical therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) has traditionally avoided fatigue and high intensity workouts. Yet, in PD controlled studies have shown that: (i) an acute aerobic stress produces endogenous dopamine immediately after the exercise and (ii) short term (a few weeks) high intensity aerobic training enhances D2 striatal receptor density and cortical excitability and clinically improves walking, upper limb and executive functions; (iii) long-term (six months) high intensity aerobic treadmill training is associated with less deterioration of subjective UPDRS III score compared to a waiting list. Long-term high intensity aerobic training has not been compared to low or medium intensity training in PD patients for its objective motor, cognitive and putative neuroprotective effects.

The recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer tends to recur repeatedly at increasingly short intervals, making treatment more and more difficult.Patients often have limited physical capacity to undergo repeated systematic treatment. Currently, NCCN( national comprehensive cancer network )guidelines recommend palliative radiotherapy in patients with local recurrence of ovarian cancer. With the progress of IMRT( intensity modulated radiation therapy ), SBRT ( stereotactic body radiation therapy ) and other radiotherapy technologies, better local tumor control rate can also be achieved, while minimizing the damage to surrounding normal tissues. In this study, the patients will be divided into groups according to their wishes: group A (drug therapy alone), group B (radiotherapy alone), and group C (radiotherapy plus drug therapy).The researchers sought to explore the the efficacy and safety of involving field radiotherapy in the oligo-metastatic/recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer patients in different groups after treatment by inviting multiple centers to participate in the study.

This randomized clinical trial research experimental design was performed with pediatric burn patients on May 2018-May 2019. Routine treatment of any child was not interfered with during the data collection phase of the study. Sample The minimum sample size in each intervention and control group was considered 36 using G power formula with a = 0.05, power of 80%, 95% confidence interval (Gpower 3.1.9.2., Germany). Allocation to the groups was performed using the Stratified Randomization. The absence of differences in age, vital signs and pain levels between groups prior to the intervention was achieved using Stratified Randomization method. Intervention Protocols In the clinic where the study was conducted, all children are routinely given hydrotherapy treatment for the examination of the burn area as of 10 am every morning and then dressings are applied. Besides routine care, the Control Group was treated with jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis- produced by Arifoğlu, obtained from jojoba fruits by cold squeezing method) inhalation aromatherapy 15 minutes before Hydrotherapy. Jojoba oil was used as a placebo because it had no specific odour. Besides routine care, Intervention-15 Group received lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia Miller Oleum-produced by Arifoğlu, obtained from lavender flowers by water vapour distillation method) inhalation aromatherapy 15 minutes before Hydrotherapy and besides routine care, Intervention-60 Group received lavender oil inhalation aromatherapy 60 minutes before Hydrotherapy. 0.5 ml (8.44 minim-imperial) of aromatherapy oil, which had been dripped into 7.5x7.5 cm gauze 15 or 60 minutes before the start of Hydrotherapy, was placed 20 cm (7.87 inches) away from the child's nose by the clinical nurse. To conceal the allocation, the group in which the child belongs is only known to the clinical nurse who has placed the aromatherapy oil-soaked gauze in the child's room and this clinical nurse did not carry out any assessment of the child's outcomes. Data Collection Before randomization, the characteristics of all participants were collected using the Turkish version of the FLACC Pain Scale, Demographic Data Collection Form, and the Vital Signs Follow-up Form which were developed by the researchers. By the clinical nurse 0.5 ccs of aromatherapy oil, which had dripped into the gauze, was placed 20 cm away from the child's nose. The child who inhaled the oil was then taken to hydrotherapy and then dressing. The pain and vital signs of the child were evaluated and recorded 1 minute and 30 minutes after the child returned to bed by a researcher who was blind to the study groups.
Inclusion Criteria: - aged 2 months-7 years, - having a second degree of superficial burn, - willing to participate in the study, - receiving hydrotherapy application (wet dressing), - dressing the child with the same dressing material, - having no chronic pain, - having scalding burn, - having no surgery record to treat burns, - having no pathogen reproduction at the burn area, - having no stage of epitheliazation, - having analgesic therapy containing the same active substance. Exclusion Criteria: -

Background Premature ventricular contraction (PVC), also known as premature ventricular beat, is one of the most common symptomatic arrhythmias in clinical practice. PVCs may cause serious harm to patients as follow: 1. PVCs with considerable load can increase the incidence of cardiomyopathy; 2. Some recurrent malignant arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, can be induced by PVCs; 3. cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacing/defibrillator non-responders may be due to frequent PVCs, which reduce the proportion of biventricular pacing; 4. For structural heart disease patients, PVCs may make their damaged heart function further deteriorated. At present, the clinical treatment of PVCs is still based on drugs, such as beta-blockers, mexiletine, propafenone, etc., and their effectiveness varies greatly among individuals. The status of catheter ablation in the treatment of ventricular premature beats continuous improvement, but this is an invasive operation and relatively expensive, which limits its wide application in clinical practice. Recent studies have shown that the autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the occurrence and maintenance of ventricular arrhythmia. Relevant studies have confirmed that the onset of ventricular arrhythmia is related to sympathetic nerve excitement. Moreover, inhibiting sympathetic nerve activity, including anesthesia, sympathetic nerve block, sympathetic nerve denervation, etc., can effectively reduce the onset and burden of ventricular arrhythmia. On the other hand, in patients with myocardial ischemia-related ventricular arrhythmia, atrial arrhythmia, and heart failure, the safety and effectiveness of the treatment of vagus nerve stimulation have also been verified. Low-level tragus stimulation (LLTS) is an emerging method of regulating autonomic nerves. Functional cardiac magnetic resonance studies have confirmed that by stimulating the auricle branch of the vagus nerve distributed in the tragus of the outer ear, the central projection of the vagus nerve in the brainstem and other higher centers can be activated. It is worth noting that LLTS has been used in clinical practice to treat tinnitus and epilepsy. Moreover, recent studies have confirmed that LLTS can reduce sympathetic nerve activity, inhibit inflammatory factors, and reduce the atrial fibrillation burden in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Aim of the Study The current trial is designed to explore the effect of low-level tragus stimulation in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions. Study Design This is a randomized, prospective, parallel, single-blind multicenter design. The enrollment target for this investigation is 100 patients. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 fashion into one of the investigation arms: active and sham LLTS group. Active LLTSs are performed using a transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation device (Parasym device, Parasym Health, London, United Kingdom) with an ear clip attached to the tragus of the right ear. In the sham group, the clips are attached to the ear lobe and regarded as effectless to vagus nerve. At baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, patients underwent noninvasive continuous ECG monitoring for 10 days to evaluate their PVC burden (defined as the percentage of premature ventricular beats in total heart beats) using an adhesive continuous ECG patch. Heart rate variability, quality of life, skin sympathetic nerve activity and serum cytokine measurement are evaluated at baseline and follow-up.

Critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have been reported to suffer due to their sense of dependency on technical medical equipment and from severe emotional responses such as hopelessness, anxiety, high levels of frustration and stress. The administration of sedatives is intended to reduce and/or prevent these negative experiences and to facilitate nursing care. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 receptor agonist with 1600-fold affinity to α1 receptor. The use of dexmedetomidine before anesthesia has a positive effect on hemodynamic stability, which has been associated with reduced postoperative mortality and reduction of unpleasant postoperative complications . Dexmedetomidine has been shown to provide good patient comfort during MV; it also has a satisfactory safety profile and reduces time to extubating. Salivary alpha amylase (SAA) will be considered as a suitable biomarker of sympathetic nervous system activity in recent years. SAA is locally produced by the highly differentiated epithelial acinar cells of the exocrine salivary glands, mostly of the parotid glands and plays an important role in carbohydrate hydrolysis.
Inclusion Criteria: - Age 18 to 65 years old. - Both sexes. - Newly mechanically ventilated. Exclusion Criteria: - Patients who used inhaled steroids. - Patients who used any medication that could affect salivary glands (such as antihypertensive, antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs). - Those with smoking and drinking habits. - Patients on adrenoreceptor agonist or antagonist therapy. - Pregnant female. - Known hypersensitivity to the study drugs. - Women using oral contraceptive or were in their menstrual cycle.

Blood loss in hepatic surgery is the main factor of postoperative morbidity. The use of the most effective possible tool for hemostasis allows a bleeding decrease during liver transection and thus could reduce postoperative morbidity. In the past decade, the improvement of techniques of transection of the hepatic parenchyma was one of the most important factors to ensure the hepatectomy safety. But the clinical performances of these technological innovations (ultrasound dissectors, monopolar radiofrequency probes and dissection devices using pressurized water) remain still unclear. The medical device of hemostasis Aquamantys® (Salient company, Innopath) use the technology of "transcollation" combining a source of radiofrequency associated with a conductive liquid (NaCl 0.9% solution). The system consists of a specific generator (Aquamantys Pump Generator®) and single-use probes (Aquamantys 2.3 BipolarSealer®). The energy of radiofrequency is delivered by two bipolar electrodes. The innovative aspect of this device consists in maintaining the tissue to a temperature of 100°C, while using a conductive liquid which acts as process of cooling and avoids the drying out of tissues, smoke, risks of electric arc and overheating met with conventional electrosurgery. This device allows the coagulation of blood vessels but also bile ducts. The Aquamantys® system could decrease the postoperative morbidity and mortality due to a decrease of blood loss and biliary leak. These clinical benefits could be translated by an improvement of the direct and indirect costs associated to the surgery. However the Aquamantys® technology has not been scientifically validated in the context of the hepatic surgery, and this technology is expensive due to the purchase of single-use bipolar probes (Aquamantys 2.3 BipolarSealer®) and to the investment in a generator (Aquamantys Pump Generator®). Consequently, it is essential to realize a study measuring the clinical and medical economic impact of the transcollation technology (Aquamantys® device) in the hepatic surgery.
