This study is being done to see if there is a relationship between stroke, post-stroke depression, and measures of inflammatory and/or stress compounds in the blood. Brain injury, as caused by stroke, leads to an inflammatory response in the brain which in turn can influence infl…

Low blood sugar can negatively affect how blood vessels function, and this can lead to an increase in the risk for heart attacks, strokes and other problems related to the stiffening and blockage of blood vessels. The purpose of this study is to learn if and how glucagon-like pep…

The goal of the study is to create a longitudinal record of patient reported outcomes for people living with sarcoidosis that maintains privacy. Patients report on the following: demographics, disease symptoms, diagnostic journey, provider experience, disease treatment, and burde…

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study under the umbrella of the ISG (Italian Sarcoma Group) evaluating local progression-free survival at 3 years of patients affected by extra-abdominal primary fibromatosis managed with front-line conservative approach and treate…

MetS is an early stage of CVD and is an appropriate target for dietary interventions. MetS is a clustering of risk factors (abdominal obesity, elevated serum triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol, hypertension, elevated fasting blood glucose) accompanied by low grade chronic inflamm…

The goal of this study is to compare a Self-Regulation Hypnotic Intervention (SRHI) to the standard procedure (Treatment As Usual with analgesic and sedative agents) for pain and anxiety management during rectal cancer brachytherapy. Hypnotizability of patients undergoing this pr…

The main objective of this study is to describe differential cognitive processing of various stimuli by a population of control subjects and a population of patients with selective cognitive deficits or altered states of consciousness by using dedicated ERP paradigms and high-den…

This project focuses on an at-risk adolescent and young adult population who may gain long-term health benefits from detection of risk factors at a young age. The primary aims of this proposal are: 1) To observe whether adolescents and young adults with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome …

The mechanism of bone loss in anorexia nervosa is complex. Marrow adipose tissue seems to play a role in the regulation of bone metabolism. Adipocytes secrete cytokines and adipokines that either stimulate or inhibit adjacent osteoblasts. This study consist to explore the relatio…

The P300 is one of the cognitive wave of the Event-Related Potential (ERP) that is used to investigate the cognitive process. The P300 component are accepted as electro-physiological markers of neuropsychiatric disorders like alcoholism or drug addiction. Recent scientific data …

Identify factors that contribute to perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery that involves cardiopulmonary bypass. Identify factors that affect perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

The investigators hypothesize that this single-cell analysis can be used to evaluate prostate needle-core biopsies prospectively even in non-homogenous samples by providing profiles of proteomic and phenotypic signatures. These profiles will in turn enable better predictions of t…

There is now substantial evidence that B cells are recruited into prostate cancers by CXCL13 released by the tumor cells. B cells release lymphotoxin which drives malignant cell proliferation through the NFkB pathway. This is a pilot trial in 18 patients to determine whether depl…

The Evaluating Cancer Survivorship Care Models project is an innovative 3-year study that is collecting data to help understand how to best deliver follow-up care to cancer survivors. Cancer is a complex disease requiring complex treatments that can cause lasting impacts after tr…

The purpose of this study is to collect data to help researchers identify factors, such as certain proteins or genetic codes, that are secreted from muscle that are associated with the beneficial effects of exercise.

The purpose of this study is determine if using Impact Advanced Recovery® before and after RC surgery helps reduce surgical complications.

The 3q29 deletion syndrome is caused by a deletion of a small part of human chromosome 3, and the duplication syndrome is caused by a duplication of this same small region. The purpose of this study is to understand the medical and behavioral consequences of these syndromes.

REM is a retrospective and prospective registry, finalized for care and research purposes. It is articulated in main sections - strongly related and mutually dependent on each other - corresponding to different data domains: personal information, clinical data, genetic data, gene…

ROI is a retrospective and prospective registry, finalized for care and research purposes. It is articulated in main sections - strongly related and mutually dependent on each other - corresponding to different data domains: personal information, clinical data, genetic data, gene…

The main objective of this study is to compare results for the detection of circulating melanoma cells (CMC) using CellSearch versus EPISPOT (EPithelial ImmunoSPOT) techniques between a group of patients with metastatic melanoma and a group of hospitalized control patients.
