A Trial of Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitor in Neonatal Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (TOP-CDH)
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in 3000 US live births, similar to the incidence seen within the Utah Birth Defects cohort. The diaphragmatic defect compromises lung growth and alters pulmonary vascular development. This is reflected postnatally as respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and overall cardiopulmonary dysfunction, particularly …
Fetal Surgery Interview Study: Parental Perceptions of Fetal Surgery
Open maternal-fetal surgery is currently used on fetuses with myelomeningocele (MMC). Fetoscopic or minimal access fetal surgery is also being used to treat fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Following accurate diagnosis of a congenital malformation such as MMC or CDH, prospective parents face a range of uncertainties regarding the …
3D Modeling of the Cervico-facial Region and Cranial Nerve Tractography: IMAG 2 ORL Project
3D modeling associated with the tracking of nerve fibers meets the needs of preoperative planning for tumors and cervico-facial congenital malformations. Indeed, these lesions are closely related to the cranial nerves and in particular nerve V (infratemporal fossa), nerve VII (temporal bone, parotido-masseter region), nerves IX, X, XI, XII and …
Safety and Efficacy of FETO in CDH: A Phase III Trial
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a birth defect characterized by the development of a hole in the diaphragm, the breathing muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. As a result, organs in the abdomen can move into the chest and press on the developing lungs. This prevents the lungs …
Mind-Body Conditioning Course for University Dance Students
Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is an eight-week evidenced based program designed specifically to help participants learn practical stress reduction, burnout and resiliency building techniques. Content includes didactic instruction, community-building group discussion, mindfulness practices, and gentle yoga. Weekly themes include Willingness to Daily Practice, Mindful Sleep, Vision of Self, Supported by …
Intact Cord Resuscitation in CDH
Isolated CDH is a rare disease (1/3500) and displays a wide range of severity and outcome. Despite attempts to standardize the management of this disease at birth and during the first months of life, the mortality varies from 20 to 50% according to different hospitals in France and abroad. Several …
Advanced Surgical Simulation Processes in the Correction of Skeletal Defects and Deformities
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS) for bone corrections, and the customization of implants and devices through 3D printing, known as Patient-Specific Instruments (PSI) and Graft-Specific Instruments (GSI), are assuming increasingly central roles in orthopedic clinical and surgical practice. One area witnessing notable advancement is the treatment of …
Feto-Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) for Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Tracheal occlusion IDE approved by FDA for congenital diaphragmatic hernia fetuses.
Safety and Efficacy of FETO in CDH Phase III
Tracheal occlusion IDE approved by FDA for congenital diaphragmatic hernia fetuses and standard of care control group
A Trial of Targeted Therapies for Patients With Slow-Flow or Fast-Flow Vascular Malformations
Recent studies have demonstrated that growth of vascular malformations can be driven by genetic variants in one of 2 signalling pathways. Targeted drugs specific to these pathways have been developed and shown to be effective in treating cancer. This study will describe the effectiveness of (i) 48 weeks of alpelisib …
