Blocking TNF to Potentiate the ICI-dependent Immune Awakening in Melanoma
Cutaneous melanoma is a bad prognosis skin cancer, which can be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), such as anti-PD-1 (nivolumab, nivo) and anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab, ipi). However, about 50% of patients do not respond or relapse within 3 years post therapy induction, and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as colitis, …

Effects of Aortic Valve Replacement on Myocardial T1 Values in Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis
Background: Severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the commonest valve disease. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is primarily indicated when symptoms occur and/or when there is a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction. However, irreversible myocardial damage, such as replacement fibrosis, leads to increased morbidity and mortality despite treatment. Improved patient …

Assessing the Tendons With Shear Wave Elastography
The purpose of this study is to utilize Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) to study the viscoelastic properties of tendons to understand the functional differences between normal/asymptomatic and symptomatic tendon states. The study will also assess the degree of tendon healing following standard of care treatment.
Prognostic Markers of Acute Heart Failure With Chronic Kidney Disease
Acute heart failure (AHF) is defined as new or worsening of symptoms and signs of heart failure and is the most frequent cause of unplanned hospital admission in elderly patients. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is one of the most developed prognostic markers for AHR patients and. NT-pro-BNP has limitations …
Acquired Hemophilia A and Autoimmunity. Study of Lymphocyte Populations and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells
Acquired hemophilia A is a rare condition of hemostasis secondary to the development of antibodies against factor VIII. This is a potentially serious pathology that can be life-threatening due to the major risk of bleeding caused by the sometimes drastic decrease in the level of circulating factor VIII. This pathology …
