Intraoperative Monitoring for the Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Procedure
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical utility of a known intraoperative neuromonitoring modality (SSEP) using saphenous nerve as the site of stimulation to identify changes to the lumbar nerves which may be at risk during the lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) procedure.
NIRS in Congenital Heart Defects - Correlation With Echocardiography
Neonatal patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) have changing physiology in the context of transitional period. Patients with CHD are at risk of low perfusion status or abnormal pulmonary blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to measure end-organ perfusion. The investigator plan …
Development of Motility and Cognition in Infants
PILKE study uses wearables for assessing motor development in infants in order to define functional growth trajectories in the normal infants and infants at risk of neurological compromise. In addition, PILKE studies correlation of early motor development to later neurocognitive development.
Mechanisms of Pulmonary Vascular Dysfunction in Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) patients often develop pulmonary hypertension (PH) that leads to transition into a biventricular HF with poor prognosis. There are two PH components: 1) passive transmission of increased left atrial pressure, 2) heart failure (HF) related pulmonary vascular dysfunction (PVD) with increased vascular resistance. Intriguingly, only some, but …
Hand Acceleration Time (HAT) Assessment Before and After Creating an Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF)
The main objectives of this observational study are to compare the results of the sonographic parameter hand acceleration time (HAT) measured before and after creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis and assess if it is associated with the incidence of hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia (HAIDI). The secondary objectives are …
Cera™ Vascular Plug System Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up
The objective of the study is to collect and evaluate clinical data on patients of the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System to: confirm the performance confirm the safety identify previously unknown side-effects monitor the identified side-effects (related to the procedures or to the medical devices) identify and analyse emergent risks
CEReBral AutorEgulation in Non-cardiac SuRgery and Relationship to Postoperative DeliriUm State
The goal of this observational study is to learn the how to determine the mean arterial pressure(MAP) or blood pressure level to be maintained during non-cardiac surgery for optimal brain health in patients above the age of 60 undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: …
Fetal-Hope Study: Home Monitoring of Fetal Heart Rate in SSA+ Pregnant Women
Serological positivity for anti Ro-SSA antibodies is frequently found in pathologies such as Sjogren's Syndrome and SLE. Worldwide, approximately 0.5-1% of women of reproductive age are positive for Ro-SSA antibodies, and in 1-2% of these women, pregnancy will be complicated by cardiac abnormalities of the fetus, particularly varying degrees of …
Accuracy of Cardiac Arrhythmias and Conduction Disorders Diagnosis Using a Smartwatch
Implantable devices increase the detection of silent atrial fibrillation in high-risk populations, being a useful tool in the early diagnosis of these patients, allowing monitoring for a longer time. Currently, these devices can be used for monitoring and possible early diagnosis of abnormalities in order to prevent health complications and …
