Background Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia is a common and serious infection, associated with significant morbidity and high mortality rates. Antistaphylococcal penicillins (ASPs) have traditionally been recommended as the first-line treatment. Ho…

In this study, using a large retrospective cohort, the investigators evaluate the impact of RT on disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with BC. The aim is to determine the true role of radiotherapy in improving patient outcomes and to provide a basis for designi…

This trial is designed to study the effects of various mechanistically unique medications in controlling excessive increases in heart rate with standing and in improving the symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in patients with this disorder.

Although breast cancer remains one of the most common and fatal cancer types among women worldwide, earlier diagnosis and improved therapeutic approaches have led to decreased mortality over last years. Indeed, the use of HER2-targeted drugs has improved clinical outcomes for pat…

The overall goal of this project is to understand the role of genetics in the etiology and prevention of upper gastrointestinal cancer, primarily esophageal cancer, but also cancers of the gastric cardia and body. Esophageal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death…

The purpose of this study is to determine if wide excision (surgical removal) alone is adequate treatment for small, grade 1 or 2 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast.

Cystinosis is an inherited disease resulting in poor growth and kidney failure. There is no known cure for cystinosis, although kidney transplantation may help the renal failure and prolong survival. Both the kidney damage and growth failure are thought to be due to the accumulat…
