Treatment of patients with liver disease by hepatocyte transplantation has expanded dramatically over the last decade, especially for treatment liver-based metabolic disorders. While much progress been made, full realization its potential not reached. acute failure hampered a number factors, but efficacy in treating this entity could be better determined through multi-institutional trial using uniform and standardized strategy. The barriers to chronic resulting from cirrhosis are more...
Rapid systemic injection of naked plasmid DNA (pDNA) in a large volume into mouse tail vein has been shown to result high level gene expression the liver. However, potential therapeutic benefit humans embodied hydrodynamic transfection liver cannot be realized until clinically viable method for delivery is developed. In light this fact, we have devised and evaluated several methods delivering pDNA isolated rabbit using minimally invasive catheter-based techniques. Using lobar technique, was...
Abstract Objective To assess the effects of computed tomography (CT)–guided injection corticosteroid into temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence TMJ inflammation. Methods Twenty‐three ages 4–16 years JIA MRI inflammation received CT‐guided injections (triamcinolone acetonide [n = 16] or triamcinolone hexacetonide 7]). Jaw pain dysfunction maximal incisal opening (MIO) distance were assessed...
Central venous catheters are used frequently in patients on hemodialysis as a bridge to permanent vascular access. They prone frequent complications, including catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter dysfunction, and central vein obstruction. There is compelling need develop new drugs or devices prevent complications. We convened multidisciplinary panel of experts propose standardized definitions end points guide the design future clinical trials seeking approval from Food Drug...
The purposes of this study were to retrospectively review an injection technique, develop a grading system for evaluation imaging findings, and report preliminary outcome related percutaneous CT-guided steroid into the temporomandibular joints children with inflammatory arthropathy.CT-guided joint arthropathy results in clinical improvement substantial proportion treated.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, diagnostic yield, and clinical benefits of performing ultrasonography (US)-guided percutaneous splenic core biopsy in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: US-guided was performed 30 children aged 6 months to 15.3 years (mean, 7.0 years), with focal lesions 27 patients homogeneous splenomegaly three. Four underwent repeat identify changes disease. types needles were used this series. General anaesthesia 21 conscious sedation nine. Medical records reviewed assess...
Objectives Generating and using real-world evidence (RWE) is a pragmatic solution for evaluating health technologies. RWE recognized by regulators, technology assessors, clinicians, manufacturers as valid source of information to support their decision-making. Well-designed registries can provide become more powerful when linked with electronic records administrative databases in coordinated registry networks (CRNs). Our objective was create framework maturity CRNs registries, so guiding...
