The purpose of the study is to determine if the type of catheter used in the mapping procedure prior to radioembolization improves the delivery of radioactivity to tumor(s) in participants with liver cancer. The name of the devices involved in this study are: * Pressure Enabled…

Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a progressive syndrome in the family of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders involving devastating language impairments caused by selective neurodegeneration of the brain's language network. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for PPA. A…

This clinical trial aims to compare the performance of CAD/CAM-milled and 3D-printed full-arch implant-supported provisional restorations in patients at the Advanced Implant Prosthetics Clinic of the Complutense University of Madrid, of both sexes, over 18 years of age, edentulou…

The purpose of this study is to assess the patient's feedback from using GnRHa depot formulation in postoperative, premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

Prospective data will be collected in approximately 420 patients, above the age of 65, suffering from an FFP type fracture equal to or higher than type II, according to Rommens and Hofmann. Patients will be followed up according to the standard (routine) for up to 1 year after t…

Acute respiratory distress syndrome accounts for 23% of mechanically ventilated patients and is associated with high mortality rate. Although life-saving, mechanical ventilation may worsen lung injury through two main mechanisms: lung overdistension and atelectrauma. Indeed, the …

Tinnitus affects an estimated 10-15% of the global population and can substantially impair quality of life, yet clinically actionable approaches for subtype identification and risk stratification remain limited. This multicenter, cross-sectional observational study will use de-id…

To assess the prevalence and severity of frailty in patients undergoing LAAC, as well as its association to peri-procedural and long-term outcomes and quality of life.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate how to manage the axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. The investigators will determine if a sampling of the lymph nodes under the arm will give the information necessary to determine if fewer lymph nodes can be removed.

Neurodevelopmental follow-up of infants at high-risk such as preterm born is necessary in order to early detect impairments and early start a supportive/therapeutic intervention. Valid tools should be available for screening infants with developmental problems even where resource…

Skeletal muscle fatigue is an inevitable phenomenon in the training and competition routine for many crossfit athletes, which can impair their physical performance and predispose them to musculoskeletal injuries. Thus, strategies and/or therapies that minimize fatigue and acceler…

Background. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD/MASLD) is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with insulin resistance. Adiponectin, particularly its high-molecular-weight (HMW) form, is a promising biomarker …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an oral methylprednisolone taper on acute postoperative pain, function, opioid consumption, nausea, and complications following outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesize that administration of an oral methylp…

Acute severe hypertension is a common and heterogeneous clinical condition associated with significant short-term morbidity and health care utilization. Despite its frequency, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly characterized, particularly regarding the role of…

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition caused by a tear in the internal layer of major artery wall (aorta) that carries blood to all body organs, resulting in separation of the aortic wall layers (dissection). The dissected aorta compromises blood flow to any organ, an…

This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block on postoperative tramadol consumption, pain scores, and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing partial hip prosthesis surgery. Patients aged 18-75 years scheduled for surgery under…

This Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) funded project and the linked European project aim * to improve magnetic resonance (MR) methods, specifically MR spectroscopy and metabolic imaging (making them more sensitive and accurate - also less dependent on motion), * to extend…

A trial evaluating the systemic and ecological impact of zinc-biofortified maize consumption on cellular zinc status, inflammatory biomarkers, and gut microbiota composition in a cohort of Guatemalan mothers and children.

The overall objective of this study is to examine the physiological responses that occur during a hot flush in postmenopausal women. The following specific aims will be executed to reach the overall objective of this study. Aim 1: To determine if hot flushes can be reliably induc…

This study plans to learn more about how triglyceride levels in pregnancy affect newborn fat mass. Obesity in pregnancy, in the absence of gestational diabetes, is now the most common cause of large-for-gestational-age infants and increased newborn fat mass. Previous data support…
