Ketogenic Therapy Effects on Electrical and Metabolic Abnormalities in Epilepsy
Approximately a fourth of children with seizures do not respond adequately to available therapy. Ketogenic therapy has a long history as treatment for intractable epilepsy, but there is no agreement concerning how it works and what is the best way to administer it. This natural history study will collect data …
Clinical Relevance of Detecting Molecular Abnormalities in Glial Tumor Exosomes
The purpose of this pilot study is that exosomes constitute a more interesting support for analyzes allowing a broader screening of molecular alterations to be carried out with more reliable, more sensitive and more efficient results than the reference Foundation One Liquid CDx test.
Efficacy of Rapamycin in the Treatment of Cervico-facial Lymphatic Malformations
To evaluate the efficacy of Rapamycin in extended cervicofacial lymphatic malformations in pediatric patients. Rapamycin is administered oral for a 6 month period. The success rate is determined by volume reduction superior to 1/5e of the initial volume measured by MRI, impact on QOL and reduction of bleeding in case …
Natural History of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: the CCM_Italia Cohort Study
Patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic familial cerebral cavernous malformation (fCCM) will be included. The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term evolution of this condition. The subjects enrolled will be followed for two years and will undergo an annual neurological examination with the recording of clinical …
Respiratory and Psychological Impact of Elective Surgery of Congenital Lung Malformations
The absence of surgery of Congenital lung malformations (CLMs), if it avoids a stressfull event, is accompanied by a "medicalization" of the child, which will be regularly followed up in a specialized medical and surgical environment. The persistent risk of complication, albeit low, is likely to induce over-protective parental behaviours, …
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 …
Clinical Readiness Skin Punch Biopsy Sample Collections
This is a clinical readiness skin punch biopsy sample collection study. This will allow to reduce manufacturing time when patients are identified as eligible to receive product under separate interventional treatment protocol.
Single Stage Versus Multiple Staged Repair of Nasal & Alveolar Deformities in Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate
Cleft lip and palate patients are commonly seen among maxillofacial patients. Patients with cleft lip and palate have evident cosmetic nasal deformities. The interrupted insertion of orbicularis oris muscle into the columella on the noncleft side forces the premaxilla, columella and caudal nasal septum towards that side. At the same …
Visual Function Abnormalities in Strabismus and Amblyopia and Response to Therapy
Amblyopia and strabismus are characterized by a reduction in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, grating acuity, vernier acuity, reading difficulties and binocular visual function deficits. Treated patients have residual visual function deficits. The purpose of the current study is to quantify various visual functions in amblyopic and strabismic participants at baseline, …
Fetal Electrophysiologic Abnormalities in High-Risk Pregnancies Associated With Fetal Demise
Each year world-wide, 2.5 million fetuses die unexpectedly in the last half of pregnancy, 25,000 in the United States, making fetal demise ten-times more common than Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This study will apply a novel type of non-invasive monitoring, called fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) used thus far to successfully evaluate …
