Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures by maintaining preoperative organ function and reducing the profound stress response following surgery. The principle of ERAS is to optimize the patient's health before surgery, minimize stress to the body, and …
This study aims to investigate the distribution of gut microbiota-derived metabolites, and to evaluate whether postoperative nutritional intervention can modulate the gut-heart metabolic axis, thereby improving metabolic profiles and clinical outcomes.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided retrolaminar nerve block in addition to standard multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Fifty patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the retrolaminar block combined with standard pain management or standard pain management alone. …
Cardiac surgery is frequently a source of acute or chronic pain. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), nociception is defined as "the neural mechanisms of encoding and processing harmful stimuli," while pain is defined as "an undesirable sensory and emotional experience associated with real tissue …
Metabolic surgery is an emerging option to treat obesity-related metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes) and prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic surgery can profoundly alter the gut microbiota; meanwhile, gut microbiota may affect surgical outcomes. Longitudinal studies that examined pre- to post-surgery changes in gut microbiota and its relation to …
This study is examining collecting data on steps walked (ambulation) per day by thoracic surgery patients over the age of 65 years-old before surgery. The name(s) of the study device involved in this study is: Fitbit inspire
Obesity affects 3%-4% of the pediatric population and leads to cardiac mortality during adult life. Bariatric surgery is the best treatment for weight loss and preventing obesity associated comorbidities in adults, but its applications and safety are yet to be defined for adolescents.
Optical biopsy is a new technology that generates a real-time, cell-based, high-resolution view and analysis of tissues. Observation is instantaneous and non-invasive. This allows reliable and fast diagnosis which facilitates decision making as well as patient management. The investigator have already conducted a feasibility study on the use of this …
Patients that are subjected to a medium complex surgical intervention in neck (posterior) or lumbar spine (posterior) with instrumentation are motivated to stop smoking. The outcome data of patients that stop and that continue smoking will be compared. A group of non smokers is evaluated as a control group. Particularly …
The expansion of the obesity epidemic is accompanied with an increase in bariatric procedures, in particular in women of reproductive age. Severe obesity has negative effects on fertility and on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, and the weight loss induced by the bariatric surgery (BS) is believed to reverse the …
