A Study to Assess Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults with Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.

New-onset Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter Following Cardiac Surgery
Rochester, MN
The aims of this investigation are:
To assess the predictive value (and accuracy) of clinical and physiologic preoperative variables in identifying patients at risk for the development of new-onset atrial arrhythmia after cardiac surgery.
To assess the feasibility of a physiological risk model based on clinical and echocardiographic indexes to predict post-operative AF.
To assess the role of prophylactic agents in the prevention of new-onset postoperative POAF
To assess the economic impact of new-onset postoperative AF:
-
Length of hospital stay (will be measured as fractions of days)
-
Hospital cost (will be measured in standardized dollars)
-
Resource utilization (will be measured by resource-based relative-value units)
To assess the outcome ...
