Growth Relapse and Outcomes With Therapy 1
Crohn's DiseasePediatric OnsetPediatric Crohn's Disease is a life long disease , presenting early in life.As such , it is imperative to be able to evaluate the risk for more severe disease and poorer outcomes when making the decision which therapies to offer our patients. These decisions should be based according to longer-term disease outcomes, such as whether they prevent disease relapse or prolong remission [10-12]. However, for the most part, previous studies were not designed to yield predictive parameters that could allow a clinician to differentiate which patients are at a higher risk for relapse, or more likely to to have serious attacks or complications of the disease or therapy. The ability to predict these risks would impact dramatically the way CD patients are treated, allowing the clinician to tailor therapy, both type and intensity, to each patient's individual risk for relapse and outcomes.In the present first phase of the study , we will attempt to identify factors that predict relapse of the disease, focusing on the use of calprotectin at onset and after clinical remission, and on the use of anti-glycan antibodies, as well as disease severity, site and phenotype.
PET on Surgery for Loco-regionally Recurrent Colorectal Cancer
PET-driven SurgeryLoco-regional Recurrent Colorectal CancerThe influence of Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) on the surgical treatment of loco-regionally recurrent colorectal cancer (LRRCRC) remains obscure and deserves further investigation.
Incidence, Risk Factor, Treatment and Overall Survival of Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer
Rectal NeoplasmsNeoplasm Recurrence1 moreData on disease recurrence was collected for all primary rectal cancer patients diagnosed in the Netherlands over the first six months of 2015. Three-year cumulative incidence, risk factors, treatment and three-year OS of locally recurrent rectal cancer were determined.

Effectiveness of Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention for Chronic Users of Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepine DependenceBenzodiazepines (BZD) are the most prescribed psychiatric drugs in Brazil, especially for women. Although it is recommended that the use of BZD is not greater than four weeks, there are many cases of prolonged use due to the lack of treatment options for dealing with complaints of insomnia. Given this, the aim of this project is to evaluate the program Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for adult women with chronic use of benzodiazepine (BZD) to induce sleep. Specifically aims to evaluate if the MBRP program, can reduce the pattern of use and level of dependence of chronic users of BZD under gradual reduction (tapering) or cessation of the use of BZD. This study will be conducted at the Drug Dependency Unit (UDED) of the Department of Psychobiology of Federal University of São Paulo. The study will count with two groups: intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) (that will stay in the waitlist until the eighth month . The sample will comprise 100 women with chronic use of BZD as hypnotics, 50 will be randomized in the IG condition and 50 in the CG condition. Changes will be evaluated on several variables such as cessation and dependence of BZD, quality of life, sleep, anxiety, depression and sexual satisfaction before and after the intervention in both groups. The data will be submitted to descriptive and inferential bivariate and multivariate statistic analyzes. It is hoped that this study create subsidies for the development of complementary interventions for the management of withdrawal symptoms in chronic users of BZD.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Mesh Position After Ventral Hernia Repair
HerniaRecurrencePurpose of the study is the visualization of the mesh and the determination of the mesh surface observed by MRI at 3 weeks and 13 months after ventral hernia repair with mesh visible IPOM (Dynamesh®). We want to prove that with this type of mesh it is possible to visualize the mesh position in vivo in a safe manner. This provides long-term benefit to early recognize possible recurrence caused by shifting or shrinking of the mesh and to provide early treatment.
Effect of Adjunctive Metformin on Recurrence of Non-DM Colorectal Cancer Stage II High-risk/ III...
Non-DM Stage II High-risk Colorectal CancerNon-DM Stage III Colorectal CancerThe aim of this study is to identify the effect of adjunctive metformin on recurrence of non-DM Stage II High-risk/ III colorectal cancer. This study is open-label randomized controlled study. The primary endpoint is to compare the 3-year disease free survival between metformin group and non-metformin group. The secondary endpoint is to compare the 5-year overall survival and disease specific survival between two group, to identify the safety of metformin, and to compare the recurrence rate of polyps after polypectomy between two groups.

OSCA - Olaparib Standard of CAre Study
Platinum-sensitive Recurrent Serous Ovarian CancerThis study will be carried out as a retrospective, non-interventional observational review of medical records for patients in multiple countries with platinum-sensitive recurrent serous ovarian cancer. The objectives are to describe in a real-world population, treatment patterns, BRCA mutation testing and results, overall survival, health care utilization and also to estimate rates of selected treatment- and/or disease-related side effects
