This project will use intracranial recordings and stimulation of the human brain to understand the unique contributions of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) to episodic memory behavior. The goal is to test how distinct subregions of the PCC differentially contribute to memory-based decisions (e.g., have I seen this picture before?). …
This study will be a prospective observation study of the use of PoRSHA for repair in patients with challenging paraesophageal hernias. One of the most challenging problems facing foregut surgeons is the large and complex paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair in the older patient. The investigator has demonstrated good outcomes and …
The investigators are conducting this study to investigate new preventive measures for patients with low sodium levels (hyponatremia), which can occur after surgery on the pituitary gland. This hyponatremia is often caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD). SIAD occurs when the pituitary gland secretes too much antidiuretic hormone. …
Design: Two-arm parallel randomized clinical trial in mixed dentition (6-12 years). Arms: (1) 9 mm, 900 g leaf expander; (2) 9 mm Hyrax expander. Follow-up: From appliance insertion → completion of intended expansion → 6-month retention. Primary outcome: Pain perception during the first 7 days post-insertion (daily patient-reported scale). Secondary …
To determine whether there is a role for Tamsulosin, A Selective Alpha-1 Adrenergic Blocker, as therapy in children with Posterior Urethral Valve post valve ablation , and whether there are side effects involved.
This study is being completed to learn if high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has an effect on visual and thinking abilities in persons with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). Participants will be randomized to receive real or sham HD-tDCS (8 sessions over 4 days). Following the randomized treatment, participants will …
The goal of this clinical study is to develop a specialized rehabilitation exercise protocol designed for patients diagnosed with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening, regardless of their choice to undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery. The primary focus is to assess disparities in outcomes, particularly in the recovery of ankle …
Background: Posterior column osteotomies (PCO) are routinely used to facilitate curve correction in surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Data regarding routine use of PCO is controversial, with conflicting data for coronal and sagittal plane correction and clinical benefit. Use of PCO has not been studied in the surgical …
Randomized clinical trial, parallel 1:1, comparing Latarjet to Modified Eden-Hybinette (iliac bone crest + capsular repair) for recurrent traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation.
Loop ileostomy and loop colostomy are both used as protective stomas after anterior resection. There is a lack of evidence on the superiority of loop ileostomy versus loop colostomy. This is a multicenter, open-label, superiority, individually randomized controlled trial including patients undergoing anterior rectal resection with primary anastomosis and a …
