TES of Chloroquine for Pv in the Philippines in 2016
MalariaVivax Malaria1 moreChloroquine (CQ) is officially used as a first-line drug of Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Philippines. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of CQ for the treatment of uncomplicated P. vivax malaria in three (3) municipalities (Bataraza, Brooke's Point and Rizal) of Palawan was evaluated using the World Health Organization protocol with a follow-up of 28 days and additional 2 days (Day 31 and 34) for hemoglobin monitoring after primaquine treatment. Study subjects were febrile individuals between > 6 months old and 59 years old with confirmed uncomplicated P. vivax infections. Chloroquine was administered according to body weight at a total dose of 25 mg/kg over 3 days (10 mg/kg on Day 0; 10 mg/kg on Day 1 and 5 mg/kg on Day 2), and primaquine following the National Treatment Guidelines. During the 1 year period that this report covers, there were 8,305 individuals were screened.

Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FoR) Trajectory During Radiation Treatment
Breast CancerThis pilot study concentrates on studying the trajectory of breast cancer patient's fear of recurrence (FoR) over the course of radiation therapy. The aim is to collect repeated ratings of 100 breast cancer patient's FoR over the course of their treatment. It is hypothesized that cancer patient's FoR level will rise on nearing the termination of the in radiotherapy treatment, and radiotherapist-patient interaction modifies the development of patient's FoR.

Predictive Factors of Recurrence of Non Functioning Pituitary Adenomas : a Retrospective Study of...
Pituitary AdenomasNon functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are the most common pituitary adenomas. Their growth is usually slow and diagnosis is often made in the context of masse effect .The therapeutic alternatives are surgery and radiotherapy such as fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. Nowadays, there is no clinical or histological prognostic factor to allow an individualized follow-up and recurrence could happen 10 or 15 years after the first surgery. In this study, the investigators evaluate NFPAs recurrence rate after surgery and try to find predictive factors of recurrence to personalized the follow-up of each patient.

CarcinomaHepatocellularThis study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Folfox4 chemotherapy regimen to prevent early recurrence for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombus following curative resection
Image-Guided Navigation for High Dose Rate Temporary Interstitial Brachytherapy in the Palliative...
Metastatic or Recurrent Lesions in the SpineMetastatic or Recurrent Lesions in the PelvisThe purpose of this study is to see if using a form of imaging during surgery helps the doctors to guide the placement of radiation catheters more accurately. This method, called "image-guided surgical navigation" may allow the doctors to deliver radiation to the tumor that the patient needs and decrease the amount of radiation delivered to the nearby areas.
Internetbased Relapse Prevention for Partially Remitted Depression
DepressionThe main purpose of the study is to test whether Internet-based relapse prevention plus medication has a better protective effect compared to medication only, for persons with residual depressive symptoms who are currently in paid employment or in education. We hypothesise that during the two years following the intervention: The persons in the group receiving Internet-based relapse prevention plus medication will be absent from work for fewer days due to sick-leave compared to those in the medication-only group. Fewer persons in the group receiving Internet-based relapse prevention + medication will experience long term sick-leave (60 days or more) compared to those in the medication-only group. The persons in the group receiving Internet-based relapse prevention plus medication will suffer fewer depressive relapses compared to those in the medication-only group. At follow-up, the persons in the group receiving Internet-based relapse prevention plus medication will have higher health related quality of life and lower levels of depressive symptoms compared to those in the medication-only group.
