Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma and Carbon Ion Only Irradiation
Adenoid cystic tumors are rare tumors of the head and neck region. Despite their slow growth, re-irradiation is often necessary due to the high metastatic risk. Patients are usually irradiated with photons or, as here at the Heidelberg University Hospital, with a combination of carbon ions and photons. So far, …
Separation Surgery Followed by Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) Versus SABR Alone for Spinal Metastases1234567
This is a non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) compared to separation surgery followed by SABR in ambulatory patients with malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC).The primary objective of the project is investigating the effect of SABR compared to separation surgery followed …
Safety and Efficacy of 4 Investigational HSV 2 Vaccines in Adults With Recurrent Genital Herpes Caused by HSV 2
The primary objectives of the study are: To describe the safety profile of different investigational vaccine regimens against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). To evaluate the efficacy of the investigational vaccine regimens with respect to: the frequency of herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) detection in the genital …
Host-pathogen Interactions During SARS-CoV-2 Infection
The new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral …
Anterior Temporal Lobectomy in Temporal Glioblastoma
The ATLAS/NOA-29 trial is a prospective, multicenter, phase III randomized controlled study evaluating whether anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), a standardized resection technique adapted from epilepsy surgery, improves clinical outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma of the anterior temporal lobe compared to conventional gross-total resection (GTR). The rationale is based …
Cross-sectoral Collaboration in Multidisciplinary Treatment of Trauma-affected Refugees
INTRODUCTION Trauma-affected refugees are at high risk of developing mental health problems including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. In addition to traumatic stress, refugees are furthermore subject to a range of post-migration stressors e.g. unemployment, poor finances and language difficulties. These stressors can moderate or exacerbate mental health outcomes …
Everolimus Plus Mycophenolic Acid for Kidney Preservation in Liver Transplant Recipients With Impaired Kidney Function
Tacrolimus is the standard immunosuppressive drug used to prevent organ rejection post liver transplant. One side effect of Tacrolimus is nephrotoxicity. Everolimus does not have the nephrotoxicity side effects of Tacrolimus. Replacement of Tacrolimus by Everolimus may have a reduced incidence of renal dysfunction in liver transplant patients who already …
Assessment of Paravalvular Leak After TAVI by Hemodynamic Measurements and Cardiac MRI
Rationale: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risks. Paravalvular leakage after TAVI is relatively common and there is conflicting evidence regarding the clinical impact of mild paravalvular leakage in self-expanding devices. Prospective data for self-expanding devices are required to compare …
CPAP on Acute Stroke and OSA
Stroke affects 16.9 million individuals each year and is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Despite advances in pharmacologic therapy, morbidity , mortality and rates of hospitalization for stroke remain high. These data emphasize the importance of identifying all treatable conditions that could aggravate stroke. One such condition is …
tDCS in Post-stroke Neglect Rehabilitation
Introduction Stroke is the main cause of disability in the world and its sequelae have a great impact in the functional independence and quality of life of patients and families. Unilateral spatial neglect is one of the most frequent cognitive deficits after stroke, and its maintenance is associated with poor …
