VLCKD has showed to be an impactful diet on several metabolism aspects and has proven to be useful for preventing and treating diabetes mellitus type 2, overweight, chronic inflammation and fatty liver. For this reason, the aim of this pilot study is to examinate the potential effect of a VLCKD …
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. …
This observational study will investigate the properties of image files standardly collected during radiation therapy treatment in a cross-section of liver cancer patients who received stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) after trans-catheter arterial chemo emobilisation (TACE). Specifically, it will determine whether the radio-opaque contrast agents in the image files …
This phase II trial evaluates the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for assessing treatment response in patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver tumors. TACE is a hepatic artery embolization technique involving the injection of a blocking agent and a chemotherapy agent to treat liver cancers. Currently, contrast enhanced …
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive technique whose planning relies on manufacturer tables derived from ex vivo models that do not account for patient or tumor-specific factors. In clinical practice, the actual ablation volume often differs from the planned volume due to liver characteristics, vascular proximity, and tumor biology. This …
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of BSJ019T in Japanese patients with primary or secondary liver who are not candidate for standard treatment.
This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after …
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) implantation with standard treatment (diuretic medications, and if necessary, paracenteses) in patients with liver cirrhosis and development of ascites as the first decompensating event. By creating a shunt between the liver …
Background Multiple Myeloma remains an incurable hematologic malignancy, and outcomes for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) remain unsatisfactory despite advances in therapy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Epunamin combined with a DECP-based regimen in a real-world clinical setting. Methods This multicenter, single-arm, real-world observational study will …
Cushing's Syndrome is a rare disease resulting from prolonged exposure to high levels of circulating cortisol. Clinical manifestations are variable but many patients present a metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension). With regard to the liver, experimental data have shown that excess cortisol leads in an increase in …
