Prospective Evaluation of Speech Function Through Patient- and Parent-response Outcome Measurements in Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital malformation, with about one in 500 children born with CL/P in Sweden, corresponding to approximately 175 births annually. Depending on the extent of the cleft palate, the degree of functional loss varies, but both eating, hearing, speech, bite and appearance …
Radiation Field, Dose and Fractionation Related to Mandibular Complications
Radiotherapy is inhibiting the healing capacity of the mandibular bone. Late complications as bone exposure, fracture of the jaw, osteoradionecrosis might be a consequence of this vulnerability. A factor that could be involved in the development of complications is field of radiation. There are limited number of studies investigating this …
Monitoring and Early Response Evaluation Using HPV DNA - A Study on Patients With HPV-positive Throat Cancer (MER-HPV)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the value of circulating tumour HPV DNA (human papilloma virus DNA found in the blood) at diagnosis, during treatment, and in the follow-up of patients diagnosed and treated for throat cancer caused by HPV. The main question to answer is if …
Rifampicin Resistance in S. Aureus During and After Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis
Two commonly used treatments for latent tuberculosis infection are either 4 months rifampicin or 6-9 months isoniazid. The invistigators will study the risk of acquisition of rifampicin resistance in commensal Staphylococcus aureus in persons treated with rifampicin versus in persons treated with isoniazide. Through repeated swab cultures before, during, and …
On-treatment Biomarkers in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer for Life
By virtue of an increased strategic use of cytotoxic and biological agents, and more options for locoregional treatment, the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has improved considerably in the past decades. The personalized approach to systemic treatment is further aided by the use of complementary molecular biomarkers. …
Rehabilitation and Recovery for Persons With Esophageal or Gastric Cancer
This study aims to develop and evaluate a model for systematic and evidence-based cancer rehabilitation for people with esophageal and gastric cancer to provide conditions for a better quality of life and fewer cancer-related symptoms.
New Strategies for Assessment of the Persistence of Viable Bacilli in Latent and Active Tuberculosis
Current diagnostic tools such as interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) and purified protein derivative (PPD) can not distinguish patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and persistence of live mycobacteria. This inability to rule out living mycobacteria in patients investigated for LTBI leads to unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment regimes all …
Betalactam Pharmacokinetics in Endocarditis Patients
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is associated with mortality rates of 10-12%. Adequate antibiotic therapy is crucial for survival and is administered in high doses due to the severity of the disease. In most cases, beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin, penicillin G, cefotaxime or cloxacillin) are employed. A number of patient characteristics, such …
Predictive and Prognostic Biomarkers in Patients With Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome.
A translational study for identification of prognostic and treatment-predictive biomarkers in Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.
Exhaled Breath Particles in Lung Transplantation
Lung transplantation (LTx) is the only effective treatment for patients with end stage lung disease. Of the major organs transplanted, survival following LTx is the lowest with a mean of 5 years. Despite improvements, primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the leading cause of early mortality and contributes to the development …
