Unilateral Periganglionic Resiniferatoxin for Personalized Pain Treatment

Resiniferatoxin for Pain Treatment: An Interventional Approach to Personalized Pain Medicine.

This review examines existing preclinical and clinical studies related to resiniferatoxin (RTX) and its potential uses in pain treatment. Like capsaicin, RTX is a vanilloid receptor (TRPV1) agonist, only more potent. This increased potency confers both quantitative and qualitative advantages in terms of drug action on the TRPV1 containing nerve terminal, which result in an increased efficacy an...

comparison of higher-order aberrations after personalized treatment versus personalized treatment advanced photorefractive keratectomy for myopia and myopic astigmatism

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare higher-order aberrations between personalized treatment (pt) versus personalized treatment advanced (pta) photorefractive keratectomy (prk) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. methods: in this clinical trial, 80 eyes of 40 patients who met inclusion criteria were enrolled. they underwent prk using pt or pta algorithm randomly. higher-order aberration...

Radioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation

Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...

Toward Personalized Pain Anxiety Reduction for Children

This abstract describes the development of algorithms for personalized anxiety reduction feedback for use by a robot buddy interacting with a child about to receive intravenous therapy (an IV insertion). This three-phase study is currently being conducted; it consists of two data collections to determine domain-specific approaches, followed by the full study with personalized anxiety-reducing f...
