- - The study explored the effectiveness of combining curcumin with docetaxel for patients with advanced and metastatic breast cancer, focusing on whether this combination improved treatment response rates.
- - Conducted across multiple centers, the research included 42 patients and aimed to compare the objective response rates and other clinical outcomes between the two treatment groups but found no significant differences.
- - Ultimately, the study concluded that adding curcumin to docetaxel did not enhance efficacy and was deemed safe, leading to the decision to stop the trial due to lack of meaningful results, while suggesting further research with adjustments for more conclusive findings.
Residual type B aortic dissection was numerically investigated to highlight the contribution of biomechanical parameters to the pathology's evolution. Patient-specific geometries from cases involving both favorable and unfavorable evolution were modeled to assess their hemodynamic features. This original approach was supported by a longitudinal study confirming the association between morphological changes, hemodynamic features, adverse clinical outcomes, and CT-angioscan observations on the same patient.
