Hydromorphone has a clear analgesic effect, and has few advantages in respiratory depression and gastrointestinal motility. The study will further explore the continuous pumping-dose of hydromorphone for ICU non-mechanical ventilation patients and monitor its effective plasma concentration as well as evaluates the safety and effectiveness of hydromorphone for ICU non-mechanical ventilation patients.

The investigators intend to perform RFA therapy on HCC less than 4 cm in size using octopus electrode, double alternating unipolar high-frequency transmission mode and gradual high-frequency energy loading mode, and to find out the therapeutic results. The primary evaluation variable is the ideal technical success rate for securing a safety margin of 5 mm or more around the tumor on the CT obtained immediately after the procedure, and the secondary evaluation variable is the volume of the cauterization lesion per unit time measured on the CT obtained immediately after the procedure, The local tumor recurrence rate, survival rate and disease-free survival rate of 12 months after the procedure, the presence or absence of multiple recurrences within the same segment, the actual procedure time, and the incidence of complications associated with the procedure are examined. The performance of RFA therapy of HCC using the Octopus electrode and gradual high-frequency energy transfer mode is compared with that of the existing Octopus electrode and RFA therapy using the basic maximum high-frequency energy transfer mode using historic cohort.

This is a Phase IIa randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of repeat oral dosing of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) AP-325 for the treatment of peripheral post-surgical neuropathic pain (PPNP) after breast surgery (breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy, surgery to remove lymph nodes), chest surgery (e.g. thoracotomy, video assisted thoracoscopy and sternotomy), hernia repair of the abdominal wall (e.g. femoral hernia repairs, inguinal hernia repairs, umbilical hernia repair or incisional hernia repair), abdominal surgery (e.g. cholecystectomy, appendectomy but also see exclusion criterion 15), varicose vein surgery or gynecologic surgery (e.g. hysterectomy, C-section).

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of multiple 4th generation CAR-T cells targeting Her2, GD2, and CD44v6 surface antigen in breast cancer. Another goal of the study is to learn more about the activities of the multi-CAR T cells and their persistency in the patients.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a critical public health problem. Heart failure (HF) affects over 5 million adults in the United States (US), and is a major source of morbidity, mortality, and impaired quality of life. Approximately half of individuals with HF have a preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), termed HF with preserved EF (HFpEF). While there are several effective pharmacologic therapies for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), none have been identified for HFpEF. Hypertension, which is present in approximately 80% of individuals with HFpEF, is the foremost modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of HFpEF. Despite the clinical importance of hypertension in HFpEF, there is limited information on how common antihypertensive agents, particularly calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and β-blockers, effect pathophysiologic mechanisms of HFpEF. This is a mechanistic investigation of the role of dihydropyridine CCBs compared to β-blockers (commonly used antihypertensive agents in clinical practice) in targeting key physiologic abnormalities in HFpEF.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of novel MRI-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment to enhance radiation effects in humans receiving external beam radiotherapy delivered using a LINAC (linear accelerator) radiation therapy device.

To observe the safety and efficacy of SENL103 cells in the treatment of patients with recurrent or refractory plasma cell blood tumors.

Calcaneal spur (heel spur) is one of the most common disorders associated with foot pain. Patients may complain of pain at every step during the day, so it is important to find the most effective treatment method for patients. The aim of this study is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and kinesiology taping (KB) in patients with calcaneal spurs. Thirty patients with calcaneal spurs will be included in the study. The gender, age, body weight, height, body mass index, and affected side of the patients will be recorded. Patients will be randomly divided into three treatment groups: ESWT to the first group, KB therapy to the second group, and combined ESWT+KB to the third group. Each group will be treated for five sessions, once a week for five weeks. ESWT 15Hz frequency will be applied as 2.5 Barr energy and 2000 Shock/session. It will be applied with the KB I and fan method and the tape will not be removed for three days after the application. In the pre- and post-treatment evaluations of the patients, heel sensitivity and sensory perception will be evaluated with the Foot structure Foot Posture Index (API). Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Quality of Life Short Form-36 (SF-36), Foot Function Index (AFI) and Windlass Test will be used.

This is a medical research study to test a medication in adult patients with a disease called medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). The medication is triheptanoin, which is currently FDA approved for the treatment of Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders. Previous research suggests that triheptanoin may also be effective in the treatment MCADD. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy (how well it works) of triheptanoin in patients with MCADD.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of BMS-986460 in men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
