To Evaluate the Efficiency and Results of Adding BFR to the Physical Therapy Program fo Managing Adolescents Presented With Spasmotic Flatfoot Deformities Compared to the Standard Physical Therapy Program Without BFR
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficiency and results of adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to the physical therapy program for managing adolescents presented with spasmotic flatfoot deformities compared to the Standard physical therapy program without blood flow restriction.
Tranexamic Acid to Reduce Blood Loss in Spine Trauma 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 following high energy trauma who have sustained …
Study of an Intrathecal Port and Catheter System for Subjects With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
The primary objective of the clinical investigation is to demonstrate successful clinical use of the ThecaFlex DRx™ System in delivering nusinersen in subjects with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). All enrolled subjects will undergo implantation of the investigational device (ThecaFlex DRx™ System) and will be followed for 12 months after receiving …
Adequate Hydration and Health Outcomes
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in middle- and high-income countries, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). Epidemiological studies have associated low water intake and underhydration with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and an increased risk of CVD. Similarly, the prevalence of chronic metabolic dysfunction …
Exercise Program for Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the recommended vascular access for chronic hemodialysis, as it is associated with less mortality and better patency than arteriovenous graft (AVG) or central venous catheter (CVC). Unfortunately, AVF suffers from a high failure rate, due, in part, to poor venous diameter. The aim of this study …
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.
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 …
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
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 …
