Artificial intelligence (AI) undoubtedly represents the main tool currently available in the definition of complex algorithms and its use in the medical field is becoming increasingly strategic.As reported in the literature, it is increasingly difficult to find new therapeutic strategies for neoplasms, especially neurological ones. Molecular characterisation is therefore increasingly essential, as is the use of new predictive methods. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to assess, by means of AI algorithms applied to genomic data, in what percentage molecular alterations are susceptible to potential drug therapies, compared to the literature data that does not consider...
<Purpose of the Research> - Primary Establishing an Asian consortium to establish a database of pediatric CNS tumors in the prospective manner The target disease of this research focuses on pediatric tumors, and initially the registration of patients with CNS GCT will begin first. - Secondary Developing clinical protocols for pediatric CNS tumors based in Asia <Duration of Research Participation> Registration period for research subjects: 2022-08-01 - 2027-12-31 Duration of medical records to be utilized: to 2030-12-31 Total projected duration of research: IRB approved to 2032-12-31 Interim assessment of data quality and integrity: 6 Mo after Data...
This research aims to establish clinical evidence for optimal treatment guidelines for adrenal diseases using real-world data. The approach involves building prospective and retrospective patient registries, which will be utilized to develop and conduct research on disease-specific protocols for adrenal disorders. The study targets patients with primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, adrenal cancer, adrenal incidentalomas, and mild autonomous cortisol secretion. Registries for patients with adrenal diseases will be obtained from Seoul National University Hospital and Asan Medical Center, along with securing a common data model. The ultimate goal is to conduct research to...
The purpose of this study is to discover the potential convenience and ease of using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, named Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (or MRF), to achieve high-quality images within a short scan time of 5 min for viewing the entire brain. This is an advanced quantitative assessment of brain tissues. This method is being applied with IVIM MRI to be able to tell the difference between a brain with radiation necrosis and a brain with tumor recurrence. Participants will consist of individuals who have received radiation therapy in the past and were diagnosed with radiation necrosis, individuals with recurrent tumors, individuals with...
Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is present in the maternal blood from the early first trimester of gestation and makes up 5%-20% of the total circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal plasma. Its presence in maternal plasma has allowed development of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for single-gene disorders (SGD-NIPD). This can be performed from 9 weeks of amenorrhea and offers an early, safe and accurate definitive diagnosis without the miscarriage risk associated with invasive procedures. One of the major difficulties is distinguishing fetal genotype in the high background of maternal cfDNA, which leads to several technical and analytical challenges. Besides, unlike noninvasive...
The goal of this intervention program is to test the effectiveness of pressure sensor based dementia and fall prevention program for improving cognitive and physical functions of community dwelling older adults. The main purposes of this study are: 1. Develop a pressure sensor based exercise mat and linked software programs to be used for group training sessions for cognitive and balance training of older adults at a community senior center. 2. Evaluate efficacy of the program to improve cognitive and physical functions of older adults via a pilot study and a main study with randomized control trial design. Older adults will be asked to participate...
Tumors of the central nervous system affect 21 people per 100,000 every year, a figure that refers to countries with advanced economies, with an increase in incidence over time. Experimental evidence suggests that cancer stem cells (CSCs) may play a key role in the malignancy of these tumors. In fact, due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, these cells are able to create compensatory pathways that confer stem-like, angiogenic and pro-tumoral functions. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that brain tumor stem cells are radio- and chemo-resistant and therefore not treatable with the therapeutic protocols currently in use. To date, in fact, there are no definitive treatments for...
Introduction : The incidence of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (DNETs) is increasing. Endoscopic resection is recommended for the management of small DNETs measuring ≤10 mm. Various endoscopic techniques have been utilized for the resection of DNETs including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), band ligation assisted EMR, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the published studies report a high rate of histologically incomplete resection even with ESD. More recently, device assisted endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) has emerged as a safe and effective resection modality in cases with upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal as well as submucosal lesions....
Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) will be used in an open label, multicenter, study as Maintenance Therapy for Molecular High Risk/Very High Risk and Relapsed/Refractory Medulloblastoma.
Thi is a prospective and low-intervention clinical trial. We propose to design a panel of "core" genetic alterations by sequencing Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) DNA in patients with confirmed or suspicious Primary Central Neurvous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) with the aim to improve diagnostic sensitivity, response assessment and monitoring early CNS relapse in routine practice. Enrolled patients will receive conventional treatments according to well-established international guidelines, DNA assessments will not influence the treatment choices.
