Cardiovascular Prevention Strategies in Elderly Patients With Cancer (CARTIER Clinical Trial)
The CARTIER study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial comparing, in elderly patients with cancer under anti-tumoral treatment, two different cardiotoxicity prevention strategies: primary (intensive cardiovascular monitoring focused on prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of cardiotoxicity based in cardio-onco-hematology teams involved in cancer patient care) vs. secondary (current …
Aerobic Exercise is Cardio-protective in Hemato-oncological Disease and New-onset Chemotherapy
Oncological diseases are the main cause of death in developed countries and also in Uruguay. Advances in therapeutics have made possible to aspire to cure and in other cases long-term remission with a significant increase in survival and the transformation of cancer into a chronic disease. Chemotherapy treatments have some …
Respiratory Muscle Structure and Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Long-term Outcomes
Air is normally pumped in and out of the lungs by the muscles that contribute to inhalation and exhalation, called the respiratory muscles. The abdominal muscles help by forcing air out of your lungs during exhalation; whereas the diaphragm, the main muscle used for breathing, contracts to get air into …
Gene Therapy for Cardiomyopathy Associated With Friedreich's Ataxia
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-ascending, multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of LX2006 for participants who have Friedreich's Ataxia with evidence of cardiomyopathy. The study will evaluate up to three doses of single administration of LX2006 (AAVrh.10hFXN), an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy designed to intravenously deliver …
Cardiac Effects From Radiation Therapy by MRI
The investigators will identify 10 patients in the department of radiation oncology who will receive standard of-care radiation therapy, and the treating radiation oncologist anticipates a mean left ventricular dose of at least 5 Gy. Patients will be evaluated by CMRI before and within one week of the completion of …
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
Multicenter HomeVENT: Home Values and Experiences Navigation Track
This is a multicenter study to test a decision-making support process for families and clinicians facing decisions about chronic home ventilation for a child. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will increase family preparedness for decision-making and will improve clinician-family shared-decision making. Half of families will be assigned to "usual …
New Orleans Pulmonary Hypertension Biobank
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition characterized by a mean pulmonary artery pressure >=25mmHg on right heart catheterization (RHC). Despite advances in PH care, outcomes are still sub-optimal and further research is required into the pathobiology of the disease and development of biomarkers that can guide clinical care. The …
Turner And Klinefelter Treatment Target Study
Rationale: Health related Quality of life (HRQoL) is impaired in patients with Turner and Klinefelter syndrome (TS and KS). It is unknown what the optimal endocrine treatment target values are that maximize HRQoL in patients with these syndromes. Therefore the relation between HRQoL and biochemical parameters will be studied in …
A Study of Blood Pressure Control During Cancer Treatment
The purpose of this study to find out whether an intensive approach to treating high blood pressure during breast cancer treatment is safe and more effective than standard blood pressure treatment at lowering blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiotoxicity in patients with cancer. Other studies have shown lowering …
