Electroencephalogram Predicts Post-operative Delirium
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the predictive value of sub-hairline electroencephalography (EEG) during anesthesia recovery for postoperative delirium (POD). The main question to be answered is: Can sub-hairline EEG measured during anesthesia recovery serve as a reliable predictor of POD? Adult patients undergoing elective craniotomy and …
The Association Between Radiation Dermatitis and Skin Microbiome in Breast Cancer Patients
The breast cancer patients who received radiotherapy after mastectomy and breast reconstruction will be enrolled. The skin microbiome before radiotherapy and its changes after radiotherapy will be analyzed systematically to find out whether the skin microbiome is associated with the severity of radiation dermatitis.
Pre-operative Screening of Functional Fragilities Before Open Aortic Surgery: a New Area
Aneurysmal or occlusive abdominal aortic pathology has seen its prevalence increase over the years despite the various cardiovascular risk factor management campaigns deployed. Currently, a large proportion of these aortic pathologies require effective and definitive treatment by open surgery. In fact, minimally invasive endovascular treatment, which can provide good results …
Surgery in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) for Treatment, Tumor Modeling, and Genomic Analysis
Objective To follow people with GISTs and collect tumor tissue so that it can be studied in the lab. Eligibility People age 6 and older who have a GIST. Design Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records and samples. Participants will enroll in 1 other NIH …
To Study the Effects of Refractive Surgery on OCT Measurements in the Eye
Corrective eye surgeries, such as Lasik, are widely used to correct focusing problems such as myopia, or nearsightedness. Often these patients develop other conditions like myopic maculopathy or glaucoma which require monitoring with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Since OCT is a light-based test and changes the refractive status of the …
Prospective Evaluation of Complex Adult Spinal Deformity (CAD) Treated With Minimally Invasive Surgery
Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients treated with minimally invasive approach, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical …
Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper-limb Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective, open label cohort study is to assess functional and motor outcomes in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who have undergone nerve transfer surgery, with the goal of increasing upper limb function. We will also compare these outcomes to a cohort of similarly matched individuals …
Should we Avoid Performing Invasive Coronary Angiography Before Cardiac Surgery in ACHD Patients?
The goal of this observational study is to compare two pre-operative methods, that is the Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA), an actual standard diagnostic method, with the Coronary Computer Tomography (CCT) to undestand if the only CCT is sufficent to confirm the presence of a significative coronary disease and so to …
The Effect of Facial Plane Blocks on Postoperative Recovery Quality in Hip Surgery
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block, fascia iliaca compartment block, and femoral block on the quality of recovery as part of multimodal analgesia before hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.
Evaluation of the HPA Axis in Patients With Vasoplegic Syndrome After Cardiac Surgery
Vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery is common and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by early and prolonged arterial hypotension, with preserved cardiac output and low systemic vascular resistance. Vasoplegic syndrome therefore shares pathophysiological features with septic shock. There are no data in the literature on …
