To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ipsilateral Supraclavicular Lymph Node Dissection for Breast Cancer Patients
For newly diagnosed ISLNM breast cancer, on the basis of effective treatment of the new auxiliary system, the optimal local treatment of the supraclavicular region remains controversial. Although guidelines such as NCCN recommend simple clavicular radiation therapy, there are studies suggesting that supraclavicular lymph node dissection can improve prognosis, and …
A Comparison of Renal vs Limb NIRS for Predicting Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of cardiac surgery that can affect outcome. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that uses light to determine how well oxygenated tissues are. This technology is routinely used in cardiac surgery to measure the oxygen level in the brain by placing a …
Effectiveness of Plaque Score Detection Techniques
This study investigates the similarity between microbial plaque scores when assessing the entire dentition versus select teeth. The hypothesis posits that plaque buildup on single teeth mirrors that of the entire mouth, facilitating efficient plaque data collection and generalized deductions. Additionally, the research explores the potential of Dental Monitoring© photos …
Is a Third Dose of MMRV Vaccine Beneficial for the Adult Population in Alberta?
The current recommendation for a full course of measles-mumps-rubella-(varicella) vaccine (MMR(V)) is two doses. The problem is, many individuals within the vaccinated cohort show antibody levels that are below the level considered to be protective, even after two doses of vaccine. Because of these waning antibody levels, it is currently …
Interaction Between Gut Microbiota and TKIs in Defining the Clinical Outcomes of Patients With CML
Gut microbiome (GM) is acquiring increasing importance in human health and disease. GM influences hematopoiesis and immune cells types differentiation. Patients with cancer are characterized by dysbiosis and compromised immunity. In the case of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), treatment with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) restores immunosurveillance; in particular deep molecular …
Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Under-Five Children With Malnutrition in Sohag, Egypt
This study aims to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in under-five children with malnutrition.
Cardiopulmonary Responses to 6-Minute Stepper Test in Bronchiectasis Versus Healthy Controls
Individuals with bronchiectasis exhibit productive cough and recurrent lung infections as well as reduced exercise capacity, physical activity level, and respiratory and peripheral muscle strength. 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is often used to assess exercise capacity in chronic lung diseases. 6MWT is recommended to be performed along a flat corridor, …
Viral Infection of HSPC Impacts Hematopoiesis
We propose to demonstrate that HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are capable of targeting long-lived HSPC with self-renewal capacities. These progenitors, thus transformed into host cells, can give rise to a durable source of infected cells with an impact on hematopoiesis.
Incidence of Hypotension in the Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
The perioperative period poses a heightened risk of complications for patients, including hypotension. While the issue of intraoperative hypotension is well-documented in medical literature, the occurrence and causes of hypotension in the post-anesthesia care unit often receive less attention. This phase of postoperative care, however, is vital for ensuring patient …
Efficacy and Safety of Organoid-Based Drug Sensitivity Screening to Guide the Treatment of mCRPC Patients Progressed After First-line Treatment
This observational study aims to learn about the effects and safety of organoid-based drug sensitivity screening in mCRPC patients with bone metastases that progressed after first-line treatment. The main question it seeks to answer is: Do doctors choose treatment agents based on organoid-based drug sensitivity screening results for mCRPC patients, …
