This is a single-center randomized controlled trial. Eligible subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to EUS+ERCP group or ERCP group. Clinical data and patient-reported outcomes are regularly collected at baseline and during follow-up periods. A comp…

This study is a two-arm, randomised controlled cross-over feasibility study with a nested, optional qualitative study. The intervention consists of a self-guided smartphone app (Orbi) based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles, which is designed to support psychologi…

This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of low-flow sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia on physiological parameters and recovery profiles in adult patients undergoing ENT surgeries. The primary outcomes include heart rate, mean arter…

An open-label, baseline-controlled (pre-post) pilot study to assess the maintenance and/or improvement of both physical and mental well-being in subjects who daily consume either a food supplement or a functional food containing both the SYNBIO® probiotic blend and the dry grape …

Total RNA is extracted from isolated white blood cells, and cDNA is synthesized from these samples. Subsequently, the expression levels of the SIRT1 and leptin receptor genes are determined through quantitative PCR.

During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in open-heart surgery, direct measurement of intracranial pressure is not feasible. Evaluation of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasonography is considered a reliable method for predicting increases in intracranial pressure. This …

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a general health promotion intervention based on self-determination theory in proactively helping emergency department (ED) attendees to adopt healthy lifestyles. Hypothesis to be tested: A general health promotion intervention based on…

Periodontitis is a prevalent global health issue that contributes to systemic inflammation and is closely linked to stress as a risk factor. Both conditions have been investigated for bidirectional relationship. However, the results are inconsistent, and the mechanistic links rem…

In this study, the feasibility to use SIMBA (Small Intestinal MicroBiome Aspiration) capsules to collect small intestinal microbiome and metabolome information will be evaluated in patients with liver cirrhosis. Furthermore, the comparability oral, fecal and small intestinal micr…

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging system (cBPI) can be used to provide surgeons with information about bone health or bone blood flow. This will help surgeons better understand the healing potential of bone and relat…

Retrospective analysis of data collected in an institutional database of coronary interventions with use of drug-eluting balloons, with a prospective follow-up for major adverse cardiovascular events and living status.

Postmenopausal women often face risks of vascular dysfunction and muscle deterioration due to estrogen deficiency. These changes significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Previous studies have shown a significant positive correlation between vascula…
