#Study Description Brief Summary The study aim is to determine if Propofol or the combination of Fentanyl and low-dose Midazolam, are equivalent for patient satisfaction and discomfort when undergoing a colonoscopy. This is a prospective randomized study of 262. The primary outcome of this study is participant's satisfaction and discomfort of the colonoscopy procedure as perceived by the participant, and the secondary outcome will be the discomfort of the patient and difficulty of the procedure as perceived by the physician. Detailed Description Background The use of colonoscopy has become an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the evaluation of multiple medical conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite its widespread use, there continues to be debate concerning the best pharmacologic approach to patient satisfaction and discomfort of the procedure and to minimize side effects. Aim Two standard pharmacologic (Propofol or Fentanyl and low-dose Midazolam) approaches for colonoscopy will be evaluated systematically to determine if these two approaches are equivalent in terms of patient rating of satisfaction and patient discomfort to the procedure and side effects Study Design This is a prospective randomized study of 262 participants undergoing outpatient colonoscopy at an independent academic medical center. The primary outcome of this study is participant's satisfaction, and the secondary outcome is discomfort of the patient as perceived by the physician performing the procedure. Other Variables of Interest. * Duration of procedure as defined by time the patient arrives in the room to the time the patient is appropriate for discharge. * Difficulty of procedure rated by the physician on a scale of 0-10 * Colonoscopy completion rates (intubation of cecum). * Complications including oxygen desaturation or hypotension. * Cost of the two medication regiments #Intervention - DRUG : Fentanyl - Fentanyl will be administered IV according to standard procedure for colonoscopy.

#Study Description Brief Summary Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is a valid and recommended technique for tissue diagnosis of pancreatic masses. However, the diagnostic yield is with a sensitivity of 64%-95% and an accuracy of 78%-94% still very low. The EUS-FNB of pancreatic masses is usually performed with a 22-gauge biopsy needle. The small diameter of the needle is usually responsible for the low yield of tissue samples for histopathological examination. The 19-gauge needles help to overcome the limitations of a 22-gauge needle by acquiring a larger amount of cellular material. Thus, performing EUS-FNB with a 19-gauge needle can maximize tissue acquisition and sample adequacy, which is important for appropriate diagnosis. Contrariwise, the technical success rate for sample retrieval in patients with pancreatic head lesions is significantly lower using the 19-gauge compared to the 22-gauge needle. This is attributable to the technical difficulty to push the needle out of the endoscope in the duodenum. Since about 60% of pancreatic cancers are located in the head region, it is therefore particularly important to improve technical success in these cases. The new 19-gauge biopsy needle 'Olympus EZ Shot3 Plus' is more flexible than common biopsy needles such as 'EZ Shot2' and should therefore provide improved access to regions like pancreatic head. The aim of this multicenter prospective randomized crossover study is to compare those two needles during EUS-FNB of solid pancreatic masses. Therefore this study will enroll 40 patients in five German centers with solid pancreatic masses and consecutive indication for EUS-FNB. Both needles will be used in each patient following a predetermined random order. Primary endpoint is the correct histological diagnosis of the mass assessed by each needle. Technical failure is regarded as a negative histological diagnosis. Secondary endpoints include a comparison of technical failure using each needle, histological quality, duration of procedure and rate of adverse events. #Intervention - DEVICE : EUS-FNB with EZ Shot 3Plus first - Both needles (EZ Shot 3Plus 19G and EZ Shot 2 19G) will be used for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) in each patient following a predetermined random order which needle is used to pass through the tumor first. - DEVICE : EUS-FNB with EZ Shot 2 19G first - Both needles (EZ Shot 3Plus 19G and EZ Shot 2 19G) will be used for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) in each patient following a predetermined random order which needle is used to pass through the tumor first.

#Study Description Brief Summary Treatment consists of 4 AC cycles followed by 2 weekly docetaxel cycles (12 infusions). The pathological complete response rate obtained in previous studies is around 12%. The expected pathological complete response rate in this study is 25%. With an alpha error of 0.05 and a beta error of 0.2, and following Simon´s 2 phase test, 19 patients are needed initially. With 2 pathological complete responses, patient recruitment will continue until approximately 61 patients are recruited. Twelve pathological complete responses are needed to confirm the study hypothesis. Detailed Description Patients received doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), both in a short intravenous infusion, every three weeks for four cycles (days 1, 22, 43 and 64). Three weeks later, docetaxel (36 mg/m2) was administered as a 30-min intravenous infusion, weekly for six weeks (days 85, 92, 99, 106, 113 and 120) followed by a 2-week resting period (8-week cycle). After that, patients received a second docetaxel cycle (infusions on days 141, 148, 155, 162, 169 and 176). Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were delivered according to the protocol of each participating center. Hormonal treatment was started after the last chemotherapy infusion in all patients with positive estrogen and/or progesterone receptor tumors and was continued for five years. Semiquantitative determination of three molecular markers was carried out by immunocytochemical methods. Tissue samples were taken prior to initiation of chemotherapy from the core of the primary tumors. Specimens were sent to a central laboratory for analysis of Topo II, survivin and p27. #Intervention - DRUG : Doxorubicin - Other Names : - adriamycin - DRUG : Cyclophosphamide - Other Names : - Cytoxan - DRUG : Docetaxel - Other Names : - Taxotere
