Neuraxial techniques are the most effective form of labor analgesia in contemporary obstetric anesthesia practice, predominantly through the use of epidural (EPL) and combined spinal-epidural (CSE) techniques. Although drug combinations employed in these methods have advanced, th…

Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability. Treatment of IS is based on reperfusion methods, thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy (MT). However, there are significant limitations in their implementation and success. Also, there is a mismatch…

A randomized, parallel, double-blind, controlled, multicenter clinical trial with two intervention arms. Two groups of participants will be included, both receiving a therapeutic exercise intervention and an educational session on the importance of proper breathing over a 6-week …

Shivering is a common and significant complication following spinal anesthesia, with a reported incidence of 40-60% especially in trauma patients due to pain, stress response, blood loss, and disrupted thermoregulation. Shivering increases oxygen demand, impairs monitoring, and r…

The main objective of this study is to develop a models of sequential decision-making, learning and motivation that includes emotions as driving forces of adaptive behaviour. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the investigators will test the hypotheses that disti…

Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs) are a heterogeneous group of genetically based degenerative retinal disorders, representing a major cause of visual impairment and blindness in working-age adults. Despite the approval of the first gene therapy for RPE65-related IRD (voretigene n…

In patients after cardiac surgery, disturbances in macrocirculatory fluctuations and tissue perfusion commonly coexist. The stress state induced by factors such as surgical manipulation, cardiopulmonary bypass, anesthetic agents, pain, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, along with …
