Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose o…

This study compares outcomes with regard to the timing of resective surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in cancer of the esophagus or gastric cardia. Patients are randomised to surgery either conventional 4-6 or 10-12 weeks after termination of CRT. The study hypoth…

This pilot study is designed to follow up on a previous, preliminary study and test the long-term safety and feasibility of the implantation of autologous peripheral nerve grafts into the substantia nigra, basal forebrain, putamen, and/or STN of participants with PD undergoing de…

Introduction The motor impairment of the upper extremity is the most common sequelae after ischemic stroke. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising non- invasive technique in the rehabilitation of motor deficits. However, its effect in post-stroke motor deficits re…

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether Bispectral Index (BIS)-guided general anesthesia improves postoperative cognitive recovery and overall quality of recovery in adults undergoing elective hand or arm surgery. The main questions it aims to answer a…

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal treatment duration of a novel early mobility training program (dynamic supported mobility, DSM) between 6 to 24 weeks of treatment; and to evaluate the clinical futility of this intervention compared to current rehabilitation …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death despite huge primary and secondary prevention policies with a strong economic burden. The primary objectives of the ILERVAS project are: (i) to identify unknown factors involved in the presence of at…

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex polymorph and devastating neurodegenerative disease. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of ALS remain to be fully elucidated, there have been significant advances in the understanding of ALS patho…

Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes produce many virulence factors. Some of them are responsible for severe infections in humans. Superantigen toxins synthesized by S. aureus or by S. pyogenes, are responsible for toxic shock syndromes (TSS) which lethality can attai…

The purpose of this project is to study the efficacy of three candidate molecules (Xenbilox, Tahor and Resveratrol) in order to decrease the production of oxysterols by reducing the synthesis of cholesterol and/or regulate the production of bile acids and/or enabling neuroprotect…

The primary goal of this phase II study is to compare the change of EPIC HRQOL scores (1-year minus baseline) between SBRT and IMRT.

This multicenter, retrospective study aims to develop and validate a multimodal deep learning model for predicting the risk of metachronous liver metastasis in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer following curative resection. The model will integrate preoperative contrast…

The purpose of this study is to determine if the application of a negative pressure dressing intraoperatively (Prevena; KCI, Inc) to vascular groin incisions decreases the wound complication rate in high risk patients.

Objective: To investigate the effect of regular low-frequency hemoperfusion on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular/cerebrovascular mortality risk in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: Data from MHD patients over the past 10 years at our blood purification cente…

The purpose of this study is to monitor safety of the participants implanted with the OXINIUM◊ DH Hip System up to 10-years post-implantation

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the efficacy of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) versus Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy (HAIC) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can distinct…

This trial is a Phase 1 study in adolescents with ADHD and genetic disruptions impacting genes in the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) network. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics following single-dose, oral administra…

The goal of this observational study is to explore the quantitative relationship between in vivo exposure and efficacy, and the relationship between in vivo exposure and the risk of adverse reactions after adjuvant treatment of imatinib in patients with intermediate and high-risk…

The purpose of this study is to find out the safety and effectiveness of Glycolic Acid Chemical Peels compared to Salicylic Acid Chemical Peels for the treatment of melasma.

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate hypoglossal acupuncture in comparison to sham acupuncture and standard medical treatment (dietary recommendations) in the treatment of dysgeusia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
