Cognitive and Vascular Functioning Following TBI
This observational study will examine the association of chronic traumatic cerebrovascular injury and cardiovascular risk factors with TBI-related cognitive impairment and vascular dementia. Cerebrovascular, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative blood biomarkers as well as clinical and neuroimaging data
Blood Extracellular Vesicles as Predictive Recovery Biomarker After Stroke and Brain Injury
The rehabilitation outcome and recovery, in people after stroke or with vascular severe brain injury(vSBI), are difficult to predict. Moreover, the clinical management of patients during hospitalization is problematic due to complex clinical conditions and complications, e.g. healthcare-associated infections(HAIs). Today we still lack early objective biomarkers that could predict the …
Effect of Multimodal Monitoring Cluster Management on Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious global health problem, with about 27 million new cases each year. Severe head trauma can lead to intracranial hypertension and a range of complications such as cerebral edema and hypoxia of brain tissue. Intracranial pressure monitoring is key to modern TBI treatment, but …
Validating a Blood Test for the Detection of Traumatic Brain Injury in Children
The primary objective of this study is to establish if Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) are predictive of computed tomography (CT) findings in pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The participant population is pediatric patients, ages 0 to less than 18 years old with a …
Heart Rate Variability in Early Prediction of a Noxic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Early prognostication in comatose patients after ROSC remains challenging. Recent …
Prognostic Factors to Regain Consciousness
The study aims to identify factors that predict the medium and long-term outcome of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) undergoing early neurological rehabilitation. In this prospective, observational study, 130 DOC patients are going to be included (36 months). At study entry, different routine data, disease severity and functional status …
Register Study: Implementation of Pharyngeal Electrostimulation Therapy for the Treatment of Acute Neurogenic Dysphagia
Neurogenic dysphagia occurs with disruption of neurological systems or processes involved in the execution of coordinated and safe swallowing. It is common in patients with neurological diseases, in particular in patients treated in Intensive Care Units (ICU) who are intubated (up to 62%) and / or tracheotomised (up to 83%). …
Observational Study on Energy Expenditure and Protein Metabolism Changes in Patients With Severe Brain Injury.
Evaluation of early energy metabolism and muscle mass changes in patients with severe brain injury, the impact of nutritional therapy on metabolism and muscle mass, and their relationship with patient prognosis, to provide clinical research references for the implementation of individualized nutritional therapy in patients with severe brain injury.
mTBI Identification and Monitoring Through Retinal Scanning
Rebion has developed a device, the Rebion trauma tool (referred to as the head and intraocular trauma tool, or "HITT"), that detects ocular fixation and alignment using a binocular retinal scan. Preliminary data obtained from hospitalized patients with a clinically-confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) and uninjured controls indicates that the …
Targeting Osteosarcopaenia and Multimorbidity for Frailty Prevention
The aging population and its accompanying burden from non-communicable chronic diseases predicts an increasing impact imposed by frailty on healthcare systems. This is due to a lack of normative data for older adults and reliable risk stratification methods to develop effective approaches to the prevention of frailty. In this study, …
