This is a prospective observational study of patients with suspected Acute Compartment Syndrome. The primary objective of this work is to determine whether intensity changes associated with the NIRST signal, reflecting oxy- and deoxy-hemaglobin and water concentrations or ICG flu…

Among fall related injuries in older adults, head injuries are the most common, yet almost nothing is known about recovery from head injury, also known as traumatic brain injury or TBI, in this population. The RETRO-TBI study is a prospective cohort study of 250 adults aged 65 an…

An investigation of the effect of matrix-metalloproteinase-(MMP)-9 inhibition with minocycline on the reconsolidation of trauma- or cocaine-related memories

To establish the effectiveness and tolerability of standard of care anti-anginal treatment (beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker medications) in older adults with symptomatic Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) and multiple chronic conditions (MCC).

This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses used during hemodialysis on patients' vital signs and anxiety levels. A total of 56 adult patients receiving hemodialysis at Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Tr…

Developing a methodology to detect, quantify and treat air leaks intraoperatively using a bio-adhesive, to thereby reduce postoperative surgical complications, morbidity, and length of stay for patients undergoing pulmonary resection.

The present project aims to experimentally test the hypothesis that JAK2V617F mutated endothelium in primary myelofibrosis (PMF) we discovered in 2013 represents an embryonic-like hemogenic endothelium and is part of the malignant stem cell pool that give rise to clonal hematopoi…

The aim is to compare the daily intake of Calsium (Ca) + vitamin D with and without daily optimal efficacy dose (OED) of Jarlsberg on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone markers (BM) to Osteopeni patients (OP). * The study population consists of OP-patients of post-menopausal wo…

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a speech-language telerehabilitation helps improve communication in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a form of dementia that affects speech and language. The study will also document how acceptable and helpful the progr…

Aphasia is an acquired deficit following acute damage to the central nervous system that involves the difficulty or impossibility of understanding and formulating language. A typical disorder of non-fluent forms of aphasia is anomia. Anomia refers to the difficulty in finding wor…

This study is being proposed to examine weight bearing precautions following hip arthroscopic labral repair, femoroplasty, and capsular closure. Standard post operative protocols limit weight bearing for 2-6 weeks depending on individual surgeons. Cadaveric studies demonstrate th…

Recovery period of general anesthesia refers to the period from the end of anesthesia infusion to recovery of the patient after the operation. In patients with general anesthesia, the depth of anesthesia is reduced in the early stage of recovery, the cerebral cortex is still in a…

People with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are particularly prone to complications from excessive sitting, because many are not able to stand without support. Excessive sitting after SCI is believed to contribute to pressure injuries, pain, osteoporosis, joint stiffness, spasticity, …

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion.…

RATIONALE : Currently, the mechanisms associated with the response or resistance to treatment are poorly understood and are multifactorial. These mechanisms involve clinical and biological factors associated with the host and the tumor and possibly the patient's psycho-social env…

The purpose of this study is to test a new ultrasound method called Quantitative Ultrasound Bladder Vibrometry to detect abnormal bladder function.

Although older studies, most of them retrospective in design, advocated sedation over general anesthesia during endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke, a recent meta-analysis and randomized studies have shown that general anesthesia is associated with better functional …

The primary change in aging lung tissue among older people is atrophy, leading to a significant decline in ventilatory function. Intraoperative mechanical ventilation further decreases lung compliance and ventilatory function in elderly patients, making them more susceptible to r…

Background: Gulf War illness (GWI) affects up to 210,000 U.S. veterans who served in the Middle East during the Gulf War in 1990-1991. Symptoms include fatigue, muscle and joint pain, forgetfulness, headaches, rashes, and sleep disturbances. Routine exams cannot determine the ca…

The primary aim of this large prospective study consists of exploring the correlation among Volumetric and Radiomic parameters extracted from staging PSMA PET/CT Imaging versus conventional baseline clinical biochemical data, conventional imaging and the aggressiveness of the tum…
