Newly developed diagnostic parameters have potential to differentiate between epicardial disease and microvascular dysfunction with the help of anatomical details and physiological endpoints and can be used in present clinical settings.

This is a multicenter open label randomized phase II trial. Enrolled Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) patients will be stratified according to the IELSG score and randomized to receive one of the follows as primary chemotherapy: * Arm A: Methotrexate (MTX) + Cyta…

The investigators hypothesised that the neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin and its analogues could lead to an improve outcome after cardiac arrest. To test this hypotheses, the investigators designed a randomized, multicentre, simple blind trial in which all participating …

The study compare the standard treatment with nephrectomy + sunitinib to treatment with sunitinib alone without nephrectomy. This study will be the first trial on this competitive context

This research study is being performed to begin to determine the effectiveness of two dominant bariatric surgery procedures versus an intensive lifestyle intervention to induce weight loss in patients and promote improvements in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in moderately obese…

Stereotaxic radiation by CyberKnife : 3 X 15 Gy over 8 to 10 days for a total of 45 Gy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if adding local therapy (surgery and/or radiation) to standard therapy (chemotherapy or endocrine therapy) in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer can help to control the disease for a longer period of tim…

This phase II trial studies the follow-up after metastasectomy in patients with kidney cancer. Following up patients' health condition after metastasectomy may help doctors to learn if the surgical removal of the primary tumor or the parts of the cancer that has spread to other p…

The purpose of this study on adolescents between 13 and 18 years of age with morbid obesity is to determine whether surgical treatment gives more health benefits than standard conservative treatment, and if laparoscopic gastric bypass is a method with high safety and a low compli…

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new type of IG-IMRT called "ultra-hypofractionated IG-IMRT" where a higher dose of radiation is given to the tumor during each treatment day. Since higher doses of radiation are used each day, the total number of treatment days…

The purpose of this study is to identify potential biomarkers that may predict the development of Alzheimer's disease in people who carry an Alzheimer's mutation.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Fluoro…

To assess the tolerability and effectiveness of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG, Thymoglobuline) with ciclosporin in the first line treatment of patients with acquired severe aplastic anaemia, and patients with non-severe aplastic anaemia and who are transfusion dependent.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Sutent® (sunitinib malate), given before surgery, can help control renal cell carcinoma. The safety of sunitinib malate will also be studied.

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if pulmonary rehabilitation can improve patients' lung function, which would increase their chances of becoming eligible for surgery. The health of pulmonary rehabilitation participants after surgery will also be examined.

To demonstrate that spinal cord stimulator has an effect on sympathetic function (the one that give us the fight and flight response). Therefore, if the spinal cord stimulator has an effect on sympathetic function, the responses from CRPS patients to different stimuli will differ…

RATIONALE: Wedge resection or segmentectomy may be less invasive types of surgery than lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. It is not yet known whether wedge resection or segmentectomy are more effective than lobectomy in …

1\) To evaluate the effectiveness of AST-120 (spherical carbon adsorbent) added to standard-of-care therapy in moderate to severe Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), on time to first occurrence of any event of the triple composite outcome of initiation of dialysis, kidney transplant or…

This is a prospective, multi-center cohort study of patients with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and documentation of either a prior myocardial infarction (MI) or mild to moderate left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF 35-50%). The primary objective of this study is to de…
