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 …
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 …
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 …
Automated Fetal Cardiac Function in Babies Affected by Heart Diseases
The goal of this international multicentre prospective observational cohort study with a nested case-control study is to test some automated fetal heart functional parameters in healthy babies compared to those affected by a congenital heart condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: If there is a significant difference …
Constructive Variations of Classic Orthopedic Braces for Spinal Deformity During Growth
The construction methods of the same brace vary on an experiential basis according to who builds them, the prescriber, the characteristics of the patients and also the innovations introduced to ensure greater comfort for the patient. The closure of the brace or the way in which the two shells are …
Neurocognitive Abnormalities in Stimulant Abuse Among High-Risk Women
Substance use disorders and psychopathy are serious and costly mental health issues. Psychopathy is known to be associated with aberrant moral decision making and there is considerable interest in determining whether substance use disorders lead to impairments in these same cognitive processes. Recent large-scale research initiatives in forensic settings have …
Study of Residuals Deformities After Diaphyseal Femoral Fracture in Children Treated by Skin Traction
Diaphyseal femoral fracture in children <6 years old are treated by the skin traction technique. As demonstrated by numerous studies, given the significant potential for bone remodeling in young children, remodeling (excluding rotational disorder) allows anatomical correction. The aim of this study is to confirm, via EOS imaging, the absence …
Natural History of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: the CCM_Italia Cohort Study
Patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic familial cerebral cavernous malformation (fCCM) will be included. The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term evolution of this condition. The subjects enrolled will be followed for two years and will undergo an annual neurological examination with the recording of clinical …
Respiratory and Psychological Impact of Elective Surgery of Congenital Lung Malformations
The absence of surgery of Congenital lung malformations (CLMs), if it avoids a stressfull event, is accompanied by a "medicalization" of the child, which will be regularly followed up in a specialized medical and surgical environment. The persistent risk of complication, albeit low, is likely to induce over-protective parental behaviours, …
