Acetyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride in Preventing Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients With Recurrent...
FatigueMalignant Ovarian Mixed Epithelial Tumor11 moreThis randomized phase III trial studies how well acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride works compared to a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride may prevent or lessen peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride is more effective compared to a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy.
TES of Artemether-lumefantrine for Pf in the Philippines in 2017-2018
Malaria,FalciparumMalaria RecrudescenceThe emergence and spread of drug resistance is a major obstacle to combating malaria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that regular efficacy monitoring should be undertaken by all malaria endemic countries that have deployed artemisinin combination therapy (ACT), to help early detection of drug resistant strains of the parasite and contain their rapid spread. Artemether-lumefantrine (AL) has been the first-line antimalarial drug against uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Philippines since 2009, with primaquine as an anti-relapse drug. The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum infections in the Philippines. The study was conducted in three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brooke's Point, and Rizal) of Palawan. Single-arm prospective study of a 28-day follow-up was conducted from February 2017 to December 2018 according to the revised WHO 2014 drug efficacy study protocol. Study subjects were consenting individuals seeking care at the selected Rural Health Units, who were aged >6 months old to 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. falciparum infections. AL was administered for 3 days according to body weight (Days 0, 1 and 2) and primaquine 0.75 mg/kg body weight single dose was given on Day 3 following the National Treatment Guidelines.
Study on Clinical Value of Vitamin D in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Vitamin D DeficiencyRecurrent Spontaneous AbortionThe observational study is to compare vitamin D deficiency and related indicators among different spontaneous abortions in describe female reproductive health.The main question aim to answer is: the possible pathogenesis of recurrent spontaneous abortion caused by vitamin D. Participants, who visit the RSA specialty clinic, will provide medical history information, regularly exam based on the condition, following up on pregnancy status.Participants will be asked to supply vitamin D preparation and do moderate exercise outdoors, comparing the effect after treatment.

Interferon-α After DLI for the Prevention of Relapse
LeukemiaThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of interferon α after prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) among high-risk acute leukemia patients undergone unmanipulated blood and marrow transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment option for high-risk acute leukemia (AL). However, post-transplant relapse can occur in some patients, and the prognosis of these patients is usually very poor.Prophylactic DLI can decrease the risk of relapse of high-risk AL patients. Interferon α-2b exerts a relatively strong immunomodulatory effect. It can kill AL cells by regulating T-cell and/or natural killer cell functions.Consequently, interferon α-2b may have potential value for high-risk AL patients after transplantation. The study hypothesis: Using interferon α-2b after prophylactic DLI following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk AL can further reduce relapse rate and improve leukemia-free survival.
Conversion to Sirolimus: Effects in Cytomegalovirus Infection Recurrence
Cytomegalovirus InfectionsCytomegalovirus is the most important opportunistic infection after kidney transplant, with increased in mortality, morbidity and higher costs of transplantation. Despite the favorable efficacy (lower acute rejection) results of the most worldwide used regime, tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone, or the investigators local common regimen, tacrolimus, azathioprine and prednisone, this combinations are associated with higher incidence of cytomegalovirus infection, disease and recurrence. Namely, sirolimus use is associated with decreased risk of cytomegalovirus infection/disease, and there is not a prospective cohort to evaluate the conversion to sirolimus efficacy to decrease the cytomegalovirus infection recurrence. Given this, the investigators propose a study of their own initiative that attends local needs: evaluate the conversion to sirolimus efficacy in decrease the cytomegalovirus recurrence after kidney transplant.
Expression of EPK in Recurrent Miscarriage
Recurrent MiscarriageThe present study is based on hypotheses that some as yet unknown genetic factors may result in recurrent miscarriage (RM). Consequently, the main aim of this study was to gain new information about the underlying genetic causes of RM in the Egyptian population and to investigate the expression of ERK and p-ERK protein in human placenta and their corresponding tissue, to assess the significance of MAPK signal pathway in progression of recurrent miscarriage and PI3K-Akt Pathway.
