Marfan Syndrome (MFS) and Facial Dysmorphism: Non-invasive 3D Assessment
The goal of this study observational prospective study is to define the facial morphological features associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS). The main qustion it aims to answer are: To describe the facial morphological features associated with MFS and their evolution over time; To study the association between facial morphology and …
Genetics of Central Nervous System Arteriovenous Malformations (GENE-MAV)
Cerebral and medullary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are morphologically abnormal vessels located on the surface or in the cerebral or medullary parenchyma. These vascular lesions cause the arterial and venous networks to communicate pathologically, creating an arteriovenous shunt.The prevalence of cerebral Cerebral and medullary AVMs in general population is difficult to …
Biology of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations and Prognosis of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations
The cerebral arteriovenous malformations correspond to the formation of an entanglement of morphologically abnormal vessels called nidus, which shunt the blood circulation directly from the arterial circulation to the venous circulation. The cerebral arteriovenous malformations are an important cause of hemorrhagic stroke. The hypothesis is that cerebral haemorrhage associated with …
Baylor Continence Scale Validity in Anorectal Malformation
The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Baylor Continence Scale in Turkish-speaking children diagnosed with anorectal malformations. The scale is used to assess continence levels, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding treatment and follow-up. The study includes a sample of children with …
Complex Adult Deformity Surgery (CADS)
Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.
Childhood Outcomes of Preterm Brain Abnormalities
Prematurely born children are at higher risk of cognitive impairments and behavioral disorders than full-term children. There is growing evidence of significant volumetric and shape abnormalities in subcortical structures of premature neonates, which may be associated to negative long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. The general objective is to look directly at the …
Effect of Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery on Functional Reach
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a common spinal condition that often impacts an individual's ability to stand and maintain an upright posture. Poor balance often limits an individual's ability to perform basic activities of daily life (ADL) and can lead to disability. Current considerations of correcting ASD to improve balance …
A Prospective Cohort Study of Surgical Treatment for Foot Deformities in HSP
Through a prospective cohort study, we aim to dynamically evaluate the long-term benefits and risks associated with surgical interventions for hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) accompanied by foot deformities. Our goal is to systematically summarize clinical experiences to guide practice and ultimately optimize patient outcomes. The core research objectives include elucidating: …
Pyloric Sphincter Abnormalities in Patients With Gastroparesis Symptoms
The overall objective of this study is to determine if there are pyloric sphincter abnormalities in patients with gastroparesis symptoms and determine how prevalent these abnormalities are using tests to assess the pyloric sphincter - endoluminal functional luminal imaging probe (Endoflip™), water load satiety testing (WLST), and high-resolution cutaneous electrogastrography …
Quantitative Susceptibility Biomarker and Brain Structural Property for Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Related Epilepsy
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM)-related epilepsy (CRE) impairs the quality of life in patients with CCM. Patients could not always achieve seizure freedom after surgical resection of the lesion, suggesting an inadequate treatment and evaluation of the epileptogenic zone or network. Iron deposition in cerebral cavernous malformations has been postulated to …
