Environmental Pollutants and Neurological Disorders
Environmental pollutants have emerged as a major global health concern, with growing evidence linking exposure to both traditional contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and novel pollutants-including micro- and nanoplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals-to adverse neurological outcomes. These pollutants can cross or …
Opioid-free Anesthesia Protocol for Neurosurgical Supratentorial Tumor Resection
Opioids have many side effects, such as constipation, urinary retention, itchy skin, respiratory depression, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. These side effects can lead to delayed recovery, longer hospital stays, and increased health care costs. Opioid-free anesthesia is the combination of anti-nociceptive drugs to block the different pathways involved in …
Characterization of Circulating and Tumor-infiltrating Immune Cells in Malignant Brain Tumors
The goal of this observational study is to characterize the circulating leukocyte profile and the immune T cells distribution within the tumor in patients with malignant brain tumors and to correlate these findings with the oncological outcome. Participants will be subjected to blood sampling before surgery and for 12 months …
GPC2-CAR T Cell Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Medulloblastoma in Children and Young Adults
This is a single-site, open-label Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the feasibility, safety, and preliminary activity of autologous GPC2-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory medulloblastoma or other eligible Central Nervous System (CNS) embryonal tumors.
Tumor Related Epilepsy
Background Some people with brain tumors have seizures related to the tumor. This is called tumor-related epilepsy. Usually brain tumors are treated by removing as much of the brain tumor as possible without causing problems. Researchers think this may improve the outcome for people with brain tumors. It may completely …
68Ga-RM26-RGD PET/CT Imaging in the GRPR and αvβ3 Positive Tumor Patients
Based on the high expression of specific receptors on the surface of diseased tissues and neovascularization, noninvasive targeted molecular imaging can be used to visualize lesions in vitro by combining specific ligands labeled with short half-life isotopes. In this study, a novel dual-target imaging agent 68Ga-RM26-RGD was used for clinical …
Pain Control and Quality of Recovery After Intravenous Methadone Versus Intravenous Remifentanil in Craniotomy Surgery
Postoperative pain is prevalent after intracranial surgery. Patients undergoing craniotomy are typically managed with short acting opioids to enable early and reliable post-operative neurological exam as well as avoid the risk of respiratory depression. However, a plethora of studies have shown that a majority of these patients experience moderate to …
Intensive Physiotherapy in Children Affected by Posterior Fossa Tumors
The objective of the current study is to describe the effectiveness of conventional and intensive physiotherapeutic intervention in improving gross motor skills (i.e. postural changes, walking and balance skills) in children affected by posterior fossa tumors
Neoadjuvant Radio-chemotherapy Safety Pilot Study in Patients With Glioblastoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in the surgical resection of glioblastoma (GBM). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the safety profile of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in terms of neurological deficit, radionecrosis, edema, headache, wound dehiscence, infection, …
Comparison of Skin Closure Techniques in Oncological Neurosurgical Procedures: Intradermal Running Suture Versus Transdermal Interrupted Sutures
The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used methods of closing the skin after surgery for an intracranial tumor. Skin closure is one of the most important steps in neurosurgical procedures, as it has a major influence on how well the wound heals. In patients with brain …
