Who Will Benefit From Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes?
A study investigating the influence of fat distribution, genetic susceptibility markers for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and fat distribution, epigenetic and transcriptomic changes and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal on diabetes remission following bariatric surgery.
Surgery as a Treatment for Medically Intractable Epilepsy
Background Drug resistant epilepsy is the term used to describe epilepsy that cannot be controlled by medication. Many people whose seizures do not respond to medication will respond to surgical treatment, relieving seizures completely or almost completely in one-half to two-thirds of patients who qualify for surgery. The tests and …
Gastrointestinal Emergency Surgery: Evaluation of Morbidity and Mortality
Gastrointestinal Emergency Surgery: Evaluation of Morbidity and Mortality
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 …
Right Ventricular Pressure Waveform Monitoring in Cardiac Surgery
RV dysfunction has been associated with increased mortality in the ICU and cardiac surgical patients. Thus, early identification of RV dysfunction at less severe stages will allow for earlier intervention and potentially better patient outcomes. However, so far, no studies have reported prospectively the prevalence of abnormal RV pressure waveform …
Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Surgery
Study objectives: To assess the impact of mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation on ventricular arrhythmic burden and surrogate markers of fibrosis in patients with arrhytmogenic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) from baseline to 6 months after surgery To characterize the molecular landscape of arrhytmogenic MVP Study design: -Prospective explorative observational …
QoL in OSA patiënts Treated With MMA Surgery.
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of maxillomandibular advancement surgery on the quality of life in patients treated with obstructive sleep apnea. The main question it aims to answer is: Does MMA surgery in OSA patiënts improve their quality of life? Patients will answer online …
Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Carotid Surgery
Carotid endarterectomy surgery carries significant neurological and cardiac risks, requiring continuous monitoring of blood pressure. In standard practice, this monitoring is carried out using an arterial catheter inserted at the start of the operation. This invasive procedure is generally not well received by the patient and is a source of …
Sarcopenia and Neuromuscular Block in Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effects of sarcopenia on intraoperative neuromuscular block (NMB) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Adult patients scheduled for elective gastrointestinal cancer surgery will be grouped as sarcopenic or non-sarcopenic based on preoperative abdominal CT scans. Neuromuscular block parameters, including onset time, depth, …
Longitudinal Assessment of Biomarkers After Oesophagogastric Cancer Surgery
Oesophagogastric cancer (cancer of the gullet and stomach) is the fifth most common cancer in England and Wales with 16,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Survival rates are poor with only 15% surviving beyond 5 years. There is also increasing research to understand the cancer biology and factors allowing cancers …
