Brain Computer Interface: Neuroprosthetic Control of a Motorized Exoskeleton

The BCI project falls within the very broad field of brain machine interfaces. Its multiple applications include the compensation of motor deficits. The subject of the present protocol is the first test of the system in man on the compensation of motor deficits by an epidural brain implant enabling an …

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Cannabis Use Disorder

There has been a considerable rise in cannabis consumption in recent years, with estimates of 200 million individual users globally. Importantly, 3% of these individuals have cannabis use disorder (CUD), with this prevalence increasing to 33% amongst regular users, making it one of the most common substances use disorders (SUDs) …

Developing Brain Imaging Analysis Expertise for Personalizing Transcranial Electric Stimulation in Anhedonia Treatment of Patients With Bipolar Depression

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) will engage reward-related brain circuitry, more specifically the uncinate fasciculus (UF) tract, which connects the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAcc) regions. Also to evaluate whether the changes in the fractional anisotropy (FA) of the UF …

Anatomic TSA Vs RTSA for Glenohumeral Arthritis

There are no published prospective studies that compared 2-year functional outcomes of RTSA and anatomic TSA for the treatment of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis with intact rotator cuffs and no excessive glenoid retroversion. The primary goal of our prospective randomized study is to determine whether RTSA have at least as good …

High-definition Surface Electromyography Markers for the Diagnosis of Sarcopenia

Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalised skeletal muscle disorder involving the accelerated loss of muscle mass and function that is associated with increased adverse outcomes including falls, functional decline, frailty, and mortality. In this pilot project, the investigators want to explore the potential of the high-definition surface electromyography technology (HD-sEMG) …

Molecular, Cellular, and Genetic Characterization of Human Adipose Tissue and Its Role in Metabolism

Background The body uses energy from calories for basic functions like breathing and digesting food. Over time, when a person eats more calories than they burn, they may become overweight or obese. Obesity is a major health concern. Researchers want to look at fat and muscle tissue to learn more …

PEEP in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has become an essential component of the care of critically ill patients who require ventilatory support. In 1975, several investigators published the effects of PEEP in 15 mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) supported by mechanical ventilation. FiO2 ranged between 21% to 75% and …
