Urodynamic testing (UDT) is a diagnostic procedure frequently used to evaluate lower urinary tract dysfunction, including urinary incontinence and voiding difficulties. Despite its diagnostic value, UDT is invasive and often causes discomfort, pain, and embarrassment due to cathe…

In this research study, investigators examine how brain activity changes during tests of emotional processing, attention, and memory using multimodal neuroimaging methods including electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and functional near-inf…

The purpose of this observational study is to follow up on chronic HBV-infected patients over a long period of time to understand the changes in the immune status as age increases and the natural history of chronic HBV infection progresses. The main questions it aims to answer ar…

Intercostal chest drain (ICC) insertion is a common procedure done worldwide to treat and diagnose pleural disease. It is used to evacuate fluid, blood, or air in the cavity from a myriad of causes namely pleural effusions of different etiologies, empyema, hemothorax, chylothorax…

In the case of spinal cord injury, rehabilitation is particularly focused on motor skills. Non-motor impairments such as thinking difficulties did not receive a lot of attention to date. In this research project, the investigators want to find out how thinking difficulties becom…

This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of high-strength suture modified tension band fixation in treating patellar fractures and compare it with traditional screw-cable tension band fixation. Adult patients (18-55 years) with AO/OTA 34-C1 or 34-C2 pa…

The purpose of this study to pilot test an accessible and inclusive artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted, individualized, family-focused lifestyle modification intervention (AI4CHRON) for health-related quality of life for adults with impaired mobility and chronic medical condit…

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary impacts of a new parent support program consisting of a series of educational videos, delivered via a popular texting platform. For this pilot project, the program content is focused on teaching parents strategies to better man…

This investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, blinded, multi-center, controlled trial will investigate the effect of a restrictive vs. liberal oxygenation-strategy in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure with pulmonary congestion. Patients will be randomized 1:…

The study aims to assess the incidence of complications, such as intracranial haemorrhages and neurological deficits, in patients with head trauma treated in the emergency departments of the Emilia-Romagna Region and to compare the prognostic accuracy of the Canadian CT Head Rule…

Dental implant treatment, in many cases, may be impeded by anatomical limitations, such as narrow atrophic ridges. In order to overcome that, additional surgical procedures, such as guided bone regeneration, are often required to augment the deficient hard tissue. However, additi…

This study will evaluate the accuracy of the use of 3-D printed reduction guide in treatment of mandibular fractures using two different methods of virtual planning.

This study aims to evaluate the soft tissue response and prosthetic complications associated with three different types of provisional prostheses used in immediate loading full-arch implant prosthetic treatment. The patients are randomly assigned to the three groups to compare th…
