Increasing age is a known predictor of morbidity and mortality after a traumatic injury with worst outcomes seen in patients with age greater than 65 years (9). Geriatric trauma patients are a unique cohort of patients who are highly prone to develop decompensated state following the stress of traumatic event …
To determine whether in patients with EGFR mutated advanced NSCLC and osimertinib as first-line treatment, the (repeated) use of LAT to 3 OP lesions and continuation of first-line osimertinib, improves the median progression-free survival by more than 3 months (i.e. PFS2-PFS1 = >3 months).
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
Only about 30 percent of cancer patients have a clinical benefit upon cetuximab administration. Pilot studies in colorectal and head and neck cancer patients have suggested that cetuximab pharmacokinetics (PK), i.e. clearance values, could impact on clinical outcomes such as survival. Determining cetuximab plasma clearance requires sophisticated PK modeling using …
This research project is an observational, analytical, prospective cohort study, which aims to identify and describe the causes of delay in surgical intervention in patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture at Hospital Universitario San Jos, correlate those factors with complications , the impact of the quality of life and …
"Triple Negative" breast cancers are a heterogeneous group characterized by the absence of hormone receptors to estrogen, progesterone and the absence of expression or amplification of the HER-2 gene.

The operating theatre (OR) in hospitals is a highly complex working environment and can withstand a variety of stresses and strains for the surgical team. So-called "Flow Disruption Events" (FDs) with a potential risk to patient safety occur very often. The aim of the planned study project is to determine …
The use of Checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is rapidly expanding to the treatment of many cancer types. Autoimmunity and clinical autoimmune diseases represent adverse events of ICIs with variable severity and consequences. Clinical trials using ICIs have largely excluded patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases but the rate of autoimmune flares has …
Researchers are looking to further our knowledge on disease biology and treatment selection for gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to see how useful it is to look for changes and characteristics in your genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells) and …
