In this study, a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled trial was employed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of personalized brain functional sectors (pBFS) technology-guided continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) on the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) combined with the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) for language function recovery in post-stroke aphasic patients.

This is a phase I study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Preliminary Efficacy of BC3195 in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors.

This study aims to determine the clinical and functional imaging effects of serial CVS on illness awareness in schizophrenia. Specifically, the investigators aim to: Determine if twice-daily CVS for 4 weeks will improve illness awareness compared to the sham condition in participants with schizophrenia. Illness awareness will be assessed at pre- and post-CVS, and weekly thereafter for 4 weeks. Examine changes in brain network activity (blood oxygen level dependent-BOLD in response to an illness awareness task) pre- and post-CVS. This will serve as a biomarker to rigorously test whether repeated CVS engages the PPA associated with illness awareness.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Saleem's protocol treatment plan for congenital ideopathic talipes equino varus deformity using early tenotomy and serial foot casting. The combined effect of early tenotomies and foot serial casting has not been proven in prior investigations. Ten kids were involved in this pilot study where Saleem's protocol approach was used. With the use of the PIRANI score, the baseline reading was evaluated. Readings were obtained before each cast performance. This study results show's early correction of foot deformity with average 4 to 5 cast and no recurrence.

Methodology This study will enroll (120) patients presenting with acute anterior STEMI who will undergo early reperfusion presenting at Helwan University Hospitals and Ain Shams University Hospitals. Diagnosis of STEMI will be based on: Sustained ST-segment elevation of at least 1 mm in at least 2 contiguous leads or new/presumably new left bundle branch block, plus >Typical anginal pain, or > diagnostic levels of serum cardiac biomarkers, or > imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality. They will be subdivided into two (2) groups according to Dapagliflozin intake into: - Group A: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (60) patients, they will be further subdivided into 2 subgroups: Group A1: 30 patients will receive Dapagliflozin in addition to standard anti-ischemic and anti-diabetic treatment. Group A2: 30 patients will receive standard anti-ischemic and antidiabetic treatment (Dapagliflozin not included). - Group B: Patients without DM (60) patients, subdivided to 2 subgroups: Group B1: 30 patients will receive standard anti-ischemic treatment. Group B2: 30 patients will receiv up e standard anti-ischemic treatment and Dapagliflozin. Methodology in details: The study patients will undergo early reperfusion according to the recent practice guidelines and the local hospital policy in managing ST elevation MI patients. Echocardiography will be performed twice: within 48 hours of admission and 3 months following the index event. Management: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram will be recorded at baseline and 30-min post-procedure. The ST-segment changes will be evaluated in the single lead with the most prominent ST-segment elevation before intervention. The ST-segment elevation will be measured to the nearest 0.5 mm at 60 ms after the J point. Significant ST segment resolution (STR) is defined as a reduction in ST-segment elevation of 50% after 30 min of infarct artery recanalization. Immediately before the procedure, patients will receive aspirin (300 mg), ticagrelor (180 mg) or clopidogrel (600 mg) depending on availability. Adjunctive pharmacological treatment during the procedure will include: Unfractionated heparin as an initial bolus of 70 U/kg and additional boluses during the procedure to achieve an activated clotting time of 250 to 350 s (200 to 250 s if Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) antagonist is used). Heparin will be discontinued at the end of percutaneous coronary intervention. The use of a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist during the procedure, primary PCI technique, indications, and methods of thrombectomy if indicated will be done under the regulations of the local hospital policy and the most recent practice guidelines.

Empagliflozin Treatment of GSD-1b patients

The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-70 who suffer from symptoms of chronic vertigo. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Which device do participants respond better to (that is, find more relief)? To what degree do participants find relief? Participants will be: Enrolled up to 49 days; 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device) and 21 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 1 or 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 2 Randomized and stratified into groups based on diagnosis to be assigned a study device Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator Asked to download a study app to submit daily diaries regarding their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to see which groups respond better to which device.

20 participants are expected to be enrolled for this open，Single-armed clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the recombinant herpes simplex virus Ⅰ, R130 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Evaluating the long-term therapeutic effects of hydroxychloroquine(compared to glucocorticoid therapy alone) in patients with inflammatory cardiomyopathy--a multicenter randomized controlled study

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the activity of eltrombopag in lymphoma patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell harvest. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine the efficacy of adding eltrombopag during autologous hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and harvest. Determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of serum eltrombopag concentration, circulating CD34+ cells during autologous hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. Participants will receiving additional eltrombopag during stem cell harvest procedure. The amount of harvested stem cells will be compared with historical group to see if eltrombopag could increase the amount of harvested stem cells.
