In this phase I single-arm clinical study, 20 patients with T4 unresectable locally advanced colon cancer are proposed to be enrolled, who will be treated with MR-Linac with short course radiotherapy (25Gy/5F), followed by 4 cycles of mFOLFOX6 or 3 cycles of XELOX chemotherapy, t…

To generate real-world evidence from the parent study, REAL AF registry, on the use of Thermocool SmartTouch SF (STSF) catheter in ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

This study investigated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on functional fitness in older adults. As people age, they often experience a natural decline in physical abilities such as strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance, which can limit their ability …

The purpose of this research study is to see how well an imaging test, called 18FDCFPyL prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET), can show the extent of prostate cancer when comparing to 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (another type of diagnostic scan for …

The present study will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine the effectiveness of customized foot orthosis (CFO) for the treatment of patients with PHP. Three treatment groups including the CFO without wedge, the CFO with wedge type 1 (W1), and the CFO with wedge t…

Liver resection is an important surgical treatment for patients with liver diseases. Despite advances in surgical and anesthetic management, postoperative complications remain a major concern and may affect patient recovery. Maintaining stable blood circulation during surgery is …

The goal of this international inception cohort study is to describe fluid administration during admittance to the intensive care unit (ICU), and provide contemporary epidemiological data on fluid accumulation, risk factors, management and outcome in critically ill adult patients…

Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs) do not typically utilize motors to power joint rotation, but they automatically adjust resistance or damping in the joint to improve swing- and/or stance-phase control as appropriate for the prosthesis user during gait. The Ossur Power Knee …

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of adding the SGLT-2 inhibitor DA5221-T to the combination therapy of DA5221-B1 and the DPP-4 inhibitor DA5221-B2 in patients with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate blood glucose control. The study focuses on assessing the effectiven…

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of the Otago Exercise Programme (OEP) on physical fitness, balance, and quality of life among older adults in Sarawak, Malaysia. The intervention involves a structured home-based and group-supervised exercise programme…

This is a prospective, open-label Phase 3 study to evaluate copper Cu 64 PSMA I\&T injection for PET/CT imaging in patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a brief, efficient, and effective treatment for individuals with depressive/anxiety disorders. However, CBT is largely underutilized within the Department of Veterans Affairs due to the cost and burden of trainings necessary to deliver all of…

This study is a double-blind, randomized, controlled intervention study aimed at exploring whether high-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (Hi-tACS) can improve cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia.

To utilize the \[68Ga\]Ga-THP-PDL1-3 molecular probe to non-invasively detect PD-L1 expression in primary and metastatic lesions of patients with solid tumors. Furthermore, to assess the heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression within the same lesion and across different lesions, and to…

In China, the treatment of advanced-stage cancer often follows a pattern where the management of patients is primarily overseen by oncologists who focus on addressing the main clinical symptoms and intervening accordingly. However, symptoms such as appetite loss, weight loss, an…
