Cerebral Oxygenation and Neurological Functioning After Cardiac Surgery
The overall goal of this research program is to determine quantitative predictors of quantitative long-term neurological functioning following different cardiac surgery procedures. The investigators aim to generate a timeline of neurological function that includes pre-existing performance, post-operative delirium, and neurological outcome. Furthermore, the investigators will test the hypothesis that intraoperative …
Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine for Delirium Prevention in Mechanically Ventilated Septic Patients
Delirium is common in septic patients, especially those receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adrenoreceptor agonist with anxiolytic, sedative, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Use of dexmedetomidine in mechanically ventilated ICU patients is associated with less delirium and improved outcomes. However, dexmedetomidine …
DFC 004 Biomarkers for Active Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This study is a platform study designed to efficiently test multiple biomarkers to identify diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with a higher potential for healing versus not healing that ultimately could be applied at the point of care to drive personalized management decisions, and to better inform clinical trials of wound …
Growth Hormone in Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis
Globally, cirrhosis and liver cancer carries a huge burden and accounts for about 3.5% (2 million) of all deaths every year. Once decompensated, i.e. development of ascites, variceal bleed, encephalopathy, and jaundice, the life expectancy is markedly reduced to a median of two years. The definitive treatment in this stage, …
Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) or With a Precursor of the Disease
Using an extensive set of both volitional and non-volitional tests of respiratory muscle function and strength it is the aim of this study to identify potential determinants for the development of obesity hypoventilation to identify predictors for the presence of a sleep-related hypoventilation requiring treatment in obese patients
Multi-morbidity Screening in People With Type 2 Diabetes and Pre Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes are at risk of complications linked with high blood sugars and these are monitored for in healthcare appointments. However, people with type 2 diabetes commonly suffer with additional health conditions that can affect the liver, heart and their breathing while sleeping. These conditions are thought …
Virtual Agents-based Digital Interventions to Improve Health
KANOPEE is a free smartphone application providing screening, follow-up tools and autonomous digital interventions to lower psycho-social stress and its repercussions on sleep and behaviors in the general population. Additionally, KANOPEE permits an adaptation of the intervention to the subject (i.e., an adapted waiting period, frequency, and content), enabling to …
Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning Sarcopenic Obesity
The coexistence of obesity and sarcopenia results in sarcopenic obesity, a high-risk geriatric condition associated with metabolic perturbations and several co-morbidities. Despite the rising numbers of older adults diagnosed with sarcopenic obesity, few studies have characterized this condition on the muscle cell and systemic level. This study sought to comprehensively …
Obesity and OSA in Pregnancy
The purposes of this project are 1) to compare the impact of maternal obesity versus excessive gestational weight gain on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in obese and non-obese women; 2) to investigate the mechanism(s) by which obesity and OSA increase cardiovascular risk during pregnancy; and 3) to identify biomarker(s) for …
Hydroxychloroquine in ANCA Vasculitis Evaluation
The purpose of this study is to find out whether hydroxychloroquine, in addition to background treatments, reduces disease activity in patients with Anti-Neutrophilic Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies (ANCA) Vasculitis, a group of autoimmune diseases. Hydroxychloroquine and is an established, effective, safe and inexpensive therapy, widely used in other autoimmune diseases such as …
