Central and peripheral arterial pressure decoupling occurs in some clinical conditions like sepsis or cardiopulmonary bypass. This decoupling may leed to unsuitable decisions such as the use of catecholamines. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pulse wave's speed as a mark…

To compare olfactory performance between patients with BD and HC and correlate their performances to neuroimaging data

Pressure sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are a significant complication among hospitalized patients, particularly those who are immobile or require prolonged care. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices are routinely used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT); how…

The purpose of the study is to test whether nutritional supplementation during pregnancy is associated with 1) improved maternal health during pregnancy; 2) improved infant birth and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and 3) whether the association between nutritional supplementation d…

This retrospective, multicenter, registry-based cohort study used data from the Pan-Asian Trauma Outcomes Study registry between January 2016 and December 2024. Adult patients with fall-related trauma were included if they had available data on age, sex, emergency department vita…

Observational study about patients treated for a metastasis breast cancer who live far from their comprehensive cancer center and followed by telemedicine, connected watches and patient-reported symptom monitoring.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate changes in heart function using echocardiography before and after a standardized balneotherapy program in adult and elderly patients with osteoarthritis. Balneotherapy is commonly used by patients with osteoarthritis, especia…

The number of devices for cardiac pacing and defibrillation has increased in recent years. However, although they have improved in terms of quality and extended lifespan after implantation, they are not free from complications. The Achilles' heel of cardiac implantable electronic…

Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes joints in the human body to deteriorate over time. This condition affects more than 250 million people around the globe. Currently, the goal of treating osteoarthritis involves reducing the severity and pain that results from the disease.…

This study aims to understand the impact of time-of-the day on human myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion by exploring atrial myocardium biopsied during cardiac surgery. Patients scheduled for non-urgent cardiac surgery (coronary artery by-pas graft and/or aortic valve re…

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a life-threatening condition. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis, development and progression of AAS, and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Understanding the inflammatory responses and inflammation resolutions is…

Limited research has been done to assess the safety of PMV use during sleep. One prospective study completed by Diez-Gross, et al in 2007 looked at 10 male subjects recorded on two consecutive nights, one night with PMV on and one night with PMV off. All recordings took place in …

A good understanding of the principles of balance is vital to achieve optimal outcomes when treating spinal disorders. A complex interaction of the neuromotor system and muscular recruitment is necessary for ergonomic balance and deliberate displacement of the human body. Sagitta…

Aim: We evaluated the surgical outcomes of 3 groups of patients with rectal cancers - RAPIDO vs standard long course radiotherapy (LCRT) vs upfront surgery to objectively determine the effects of TNT on TME. Methods: A review of prospectively collected data was performed for pat…

Perioperative fasting has historically been viewed as a low-risk intervention. However, preliminary data indicate that perioperative loss of nutrition and fluids is likely harmful. This study intends to characterize perioperative fasting practices and their potential effects on c…

Objective: In this pilot study, we will test the hypothesis that patients with POTS (age 18-60 years) will have a higher percentage of functional antibodies to adrenergic receptors compared with control subjects without POTS.

Obesity promotes chronic kidney disease and is accelerating its shift to the stage of renal replacement. Bariatric surgery is a treatment for severe or morbid obesity whose renal benefit is currently unknown. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best parameter to define th…

This trial studies how well a Millar Mikro-tip catheter and shear wave elastography measure pressure and stiffness inside tumors among patients with solid tumors undergoing an ultrasound-guided biopsy. A Millar Mikro-tip catheter measures the pressure inside the tumor. Shear wave…

The primary objective of this study is to determine the percentage of patients with a plasma concentration of sunitinib remaining at equilibrium (\[Suni\]REq) greater than 100 ng / ml (effective concentration according to the current literature).
