Withholding of Life-sustaining Treatment and Quality of Life After Severe Acute Brain Injury: Qualitative Analysis and Ethical Issues
Withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment affects 10-15% of ICU patients, including those with severe acute brain injury, whose care appears futile in terms of prognosis based on clinical and paraclinical data, expected quality of life, patient preferences, age, or reduced quality of life. There are few studies on withholding treatment compared …
Spontaneous Eye Blinking Evaluation for Cognitive Assessment of Individuals With Severe Acquired Brain Injury
Assessment of consciousness and attention in individuals with severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI) is crucial for planning rehabilitation, but it is often hindered by coexisting sensory-motor and/or cognitive-behavioural disorders. This project aims at evaluating the value of spontaneous eye blinking features to assess patients' attentional abilities and to distinguish patients …
Cognitive Function Assessment in Patients With Focal Brain Injury
This research relates to the study of cognitive deficits related to various focal brain lesions and their localizations in the brain. it involves building a large database of behavioural responses measured during the performance of cognitive tasks in patients with focal brain injury, to allow to better understand function of …
Development and Implementation of an Intervention Enhancing Involvement of Relatives to Patients With Acquired Brain Injury or Malignant Brain Tumour
Caring for a loved one with a serious illness like acquired brain injury (ABI) or primary malignant brain tumors (PMBT) can be a challenging and burdensome experience, often affecting the well-being and quality of life of relatives. While family and friends can provide some support, this is not always enough …
CONNECT-ME: Consciousness in Neurocritical Care Cohort Study Using fMRI and EEG
Detecting preserved consciousness in brain-injured patients by traditional clinical means requires presence of motor function. Otherwise, patients may be erroneously classified as being in a vegetative state. In order to circumvent the need for motor function, paradigms using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have been developed. According …
Correlation Patterns of Brain Temperature-Pressure in Acute Brain Injury
The goal of this prospective, multicenter, observational, cohort trail is to explore the pattern of brain temperature-brain pressure association in acute brain injury and to clarify its predictive value for prognosis and neurological function 30 days after acute brain injury.
Prognostic Value of Neurometabolic Networks in CRC (PVNM-CRC)
Colorectal cancer (CRC), with annually increasing incidence and mortality worldwide, has become the second leading cause of cancer-related death. The development of CRC often follows the canonical normal-adenoma-carcinoma (N-A-C) sequence driven by progressive accumulation of molecular genetic events, highlighting the importance of early detection and removal of precancerous lesions. However, …
Personality Traits as a Variable in the Recovery of Patients With Acquired Brain Injury
This study aims to evaluate the potential effects of premorbid personality on the shortand long-term global cognitive recovery in patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI) or stroke. The secondary aims are to assess the effects of premorbid personality on the sort- and long-term recovery in autonomy (disability), cognitive functions, …
Monitoring Fatigue In Daily Life In Adults With Cerebral Palsy or Acquired Brain Injury
The goal of this observational study is to learn about levels and patterns of fatigue in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI) in daily life. The main question it aims to answer is: How do adults with CP and ABI experience fatigue in daily life? Researchers …
The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic
The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic was established and opened in May of 2013 to provide intensive therapeutic services to individuals with motor impairment secondary to neuromotor disorders. It is direct by Dr. Stephanie DeLuca and based on the principles surrounding ACQUIREc Therapy. ACQUIREc Therapy is an evidenced-based approach to …
