Use of iron chelation therapy has demonstrated benefits in terms of morbidity and mortality for chronically-transfused thalassemia patients with iron overload. Recent retrospective data (Leitch 2007, Rose 2010, Sanz 2008) suggest that overall…
Ergonomics and function of the imaging system - the NIRF imaging system should not interfere with the standard Sentinel Lymph Node mapping procedure and used safely by the surgeon while detection of ICG takes place. Duration: 1,5 hour clinical…
This study aims at evaluating whether indocyanin green (ICG) enhanced intra-operative near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is as good as or even better than the standard technique (technetium-99 labeled colloid and Patent Blue) in detecting…
The primary objective of the study is to determine concentration of circulation cytokines na administration of LPS in the presence of iron sucrose (Venofer®), Deferasirox (Exjade®) of placebo.
To test an intra-operative fluorescent camera system with a fluorescent optical agent in detection of the sentinel lymph node. This will be compared to the standard method with radiocolloid and patent blue.
Aim of the present study is to investigate if a combination of a radioactive and fluorescent tracer can increase the sensitivity and specificity of the SLNM technique in colon and rectal cancer by utilizing the radioactive component for preoperative…
To determine which advanced image enhanced modality is the most feasible for the detection of endometriosis lesions, with respect to the specificity and sensitivity of the investigated modalities. To determine which imaging modality reveals more…
Aim of the study is to develop an intraoperative technique for SLN mapping in colon cancer which is suitably in daily practice in colon surgery in an average hospital setting.
Primary Objective:-Evaluate tumour detection sensitivity and specificity with the following image enhancement modalities:1 *narrow-band imaging*, (NBI)2 *near-infrared indocyanin green imaging*, (ICG)3 *5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescent imaging*, (5…
The implantation of silicone-based breast implants is a commonly used procedure for breast augmentation and reconstruction of the breast. Despite extensive clinical experience, there is continued concern about the safety of these devices. Potential…
To study the safety and efficacy of deferasirox as treatment of oxidative stress in adult subjects with sickle cell disease.
