Tranexamic Acid to Reduce Blood Loss in Spine Surgery
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid to reduce perioperative blood loss, reduction in postoperative drain output and allogenic transfusion requirements. The proposed study will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind (subject, surgeons, investigators, research coordinators) placebo-controlled study. Patients requiring posterior spinal fusion will be enrolled …
Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Prevention and Management of Radiotherapy-induced Vaginal Toxicity
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the prevention and management of radiotherapy-induced vaginal toxicity (RIVT). Therefore, we hypothesize that PBMT can reduce the severity of RIVT in gynecological cancer patients, increasing the patient's QoL and sexual functioning.
MT2021-08T Cell Receptor Alpha/Beta Depletion PBSC Transplantation for Heme Malignancies
This is a phase II, open-label, prospective study of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (TCR α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for children and adults with hematological malignancies. This is a safety/feasibility study of the investigational procedure/product.
Rapid Absorbance-based Detection of Inner Cheek Cell Abnormalities Using Light Spectroscopy for Risk Evaluation of Lung Cancer to Enable Critical Decision Support in Targeted Patient Populations
Overview Sierra Medical is at the forefront of early detection of lung cancer by creating AIR-DS, a non-invasive early detection test. This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance the early identification of lung cancer, potentially catching it at its most treatable stages through a simple cheek swab. How it works …
Effect of Sacubitril-Valsartan on Cardiac Structure and Function
The purpose of this study is to compare changes in cardiac structure and function, biomarkers, and patient reported outcomes between adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) randomized to angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) therapy vs placebo.
Patient-specific Planning of Minimally Invasive Brain Interventions Based on Vascular-hemodynamic Mapping
Endovascular procedures for treating brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their less invasive nature and lower risk of complications. However, they still face challenges such as difficult catheter navigation and incomplete embolization. This study aims to improve the efficiency and safety of endovascular procedures …
Randomised Clinical Trial Comparing Drug-coated Balloon to Plain Balloon for All Peripheral AVF Stenosis
To compare the access circuit primary patency after Ranger drug-coated balloon angioplasty of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis with that after conventional balloon angioplasty
Orthognathic Speech Pathology: Phonetic Contrasts of Patients With Dental Discrepancies Pre- and Post-Treatment Analyses
The investigators are studying how speech is effected by jaw and tooth position in jaw surgery patients. Eighty percent of our jaw surgery patients have speech pathologies, compared to five percent of the general population, but speech pathologists do not understand why. The investigators hypothesize that open bites and underbites …
A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis of Postoperative Respiratory Complications in Children With Obstructive Sleepapnea
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate postoperative respiratory complications (PORC) after (adeno)tonsillectomy in children with OSA. In order to increase the number of patients available for analysis, we will merge data collected at UZA with data collected at the the Department of Sleep Laboratory and Sleep Surgery at the …
Pedicle Screw Malposition in Spine Arthrodesis Surgeries With O-ARM-guided Navigation
Background: Throughout the history of spinal deformity there have been continuous advances in the surgical treatment. Although many techniques have been successfully developed despite the anatomy complex, screw placement still remains difficult with a significant risk of misplaced implants. The O-ARM guided Navigation is a scanner that allows imaging of …
