The international WAO/EAACI guideline for the management of hereditary angioedema – the 2017 revision and update
2018
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare and disabling disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are essential. This update and revision of the global guideline for HAE provides up-to-date consensus recommendations for the management of HAE. In the development of this update and revision of the guideline, an international expert panel reviewed the existing evidence and developed 20 recommendations that were discussed, finalized and consented during the guideline consensus conference in June 2016 in Vienna. The final version of this update and revision of the guideline incorporates the contributions of a board of expert reviewers and the endorsing societies. The goal of this guideline up…
A phase I dose escalation and expansion study of the next generation oral SERD AZD9833 in women with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
2020
1024 Background: AZD9833 is an oral selective estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist and degrader (SERD) that has shown antitumor efficacy in a range of preclinical models of breast cancer. Methods: SERENA-1 (NCT03616587) is an ongoing Phase 1, open-label study in pre- and post-menopausal women, after ≥1 endocrine therapy and ≤2 prior chemotherapies for ER+ HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of AZD9833 once daily (QD), with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in 28d defining the maximum tolerated dose. Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor response. Pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis includes ER modulation in paire…
CNN-Based Prostate Zonal Segmentation on T2-Weighted MR Images: A Cross-Dataset Study
2020
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among US men. However, prostate imaging is still challenging despite the advances in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides both morphologic and functional information pertaining to the pathological regions. Along with whole prostate gland segmentation, distinguishing between the central gland (CG) and peripheral zone (PZ) can guide toward differential diagnosis, since the frequency and severity of tumors differ in these regions; however, their boundary is often weak and fuzzy. This work presents a preliminary study on deep learning to automatically delineate the CG and PZ, aiming at evaluating the generalization ability o…
