Laryngomalacia, Examinations and Quality of Life in Children Before and After Treatment With Follow-up After 1 Year
Laryngomalacia is the most frequent cause of stridor in children under 1 year. The airway obstruction generates turbulent airway flow and creates the characteristic high-frequency stridor sound. In addition, the airway obstruction can cause apnea, a following drop in oxygen saturation and sleep disturbances. The symptoms of laryngomalacia are often …
Mechanistic and Clinical Outcomes of a Surgical Innovation Aimed at Minimizing GERD Associated With VSG (INNOVATE-VSG)
This is a two-site randomized clinical trial aiming to test whether a modified investigational bariatric surgical procedure can improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.
Assessing Declined Liver Grafts With Normothermic Machine Perfusion to Reduce Transplant Waiting Time
The goal of this study is to find out if quality assessment by normothermic machine perfusion can be used to safely increase the number of usable donor livers, helping more people get transplants faster and with better results. This process keeps a donated liver working outside the body before transplantation, …
Rotator Cuff Repairs With or Without BioEnthesis™ Augmentation
Rotator cuff (RC) injuries are particularly prevalent, difficult to repair, and attachment between the bone and tendon is notoriously difficult to achieve. The most common method and current standard of care (SOC) for reattaching connective tissues (e.g., ligaments, tendons) to bone typically involves suture anchor-based techniques, but this is fraught …
Success Rates and Safety of Steroid Injections in Managing Spinal and Sacro-Iliac Pain (CORTisone Injection Spine Study)
This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety of different kinds of steroid injections for back pain, comparing different steroids, dosages, locations (epidural, facet joints, nerve blocks), and also the difference between injections with steroids and local anesthetics, to optimize this treatment that is currently not standardized. The investigators …
Targeted Resection of Axillary Metastatic Lymph Nodes After Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This study evaluates the efficacy and feasibility of Carbon Nanoparticle Suspension Injection (CNSI) for Targeted Axillary Dissection (TAD) in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), compared to traditional clip-based methods. By leveraging CNSI's enhanced visibility and stability, the study aims to improve the precision of lymph node removal, reduce …
Intraoperative Diagnosis of Neurocognitive Complications Via Electroencephalographic Analysis
Postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are serious and common complications after surgery, especially in elderly patients. These disorders can affect cognitive functions for years, deteriorating quality of life and increasing hospital stays and medical costs. Diagnosing PND is challenging due to their varied manifestations, such as memory and attention problems, and …
Improving Mobility After Revascularization in Peripheral Artery Disease
Lower extremity revascularization combined with supervised exercise significantly improves walking performance compared to revascularization alone in people who have PAD without limb threatening ischemia. However, supervised exercise is inaccessible or burdensome for most PAD patients. Investigators hypothesize that home-based exercise combined with lower extremity revascularization will significantly improve walking performance …
Safety and Effectiveness of No-touch Technique for Ascending Aorta in MICS-CABG
The goal of this single-center prospective cohort study is to compare perioperative safety metrics and follow-up survival analyses in patients receiving Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting(MICS-CABG) and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass(OPCAB). The main question it aims to answer is: Is the bridge vessel patency rate of patients …
Opioid Dispenser for Microdiscectomy/Laminectomy
The opioid crisis continues to plague the United States. While great strides have been made nationwide to decrease overprescribing, improvements are still needed to appropriately educate patients on the safe and responsible use, storage and disposal of opioids. Pain after surgery is often treated with opioid medications. Opioid medications can …
