Training App for Inhibitory Control Towards Food
The aim of this project is to test the feasibility, acceptability and clinical impact of a mobile app-based intervention (FoodTraining) to strengthen food-related inhibitory control over 4 weeks, in a sample of people with eating or weight disorders (i.e. obesity, binge-eating disorder (BED), or bulimia nervosa (BN)) receiving standard outpatient …
Incidence and Determinants of Joint Contractures in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the incidence and determinants of joint contracture development in mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Prolonged immobilization, deep sedation, and neuromuscular blockade are common in critically ill patients and may contribute to musculoskeletal complications, including joint contractures, …
Validation of the Oncoliq Test for the Early Detection of Breast Cancer.
Cancer continues to be one of the most significant public health issues worldwide. Thanks to early detection, the mortality rate of certain types of cancer has decreased significantly. However, the lack of accessible, low-cost, non-invasive, non-toxic, and easy-to-implement diagnostic methods results in late diagnoses, leading to 1 in every 6 …
Development of Optimal Sensory Feedback Strategies to Maximize Function After Tetraplegia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about how stimulating the nerves involved in sensation (either in the limbs or in the brain) can be used to restore sensation in participants who have a spinal cord injury. Participants in this study will have already been enrolled in …

Investigating the Feasibility of Combining Virtual Reality and Bilateral Transcranial Direct Stimulation to Improve Upper Limb Recovery in Patients With Stroke
Following a stroke, the function of the distal upper limb, especially hand and finger movements, is often severely compromised, significantly restricting the ability to carry out daily activities. It is estimated that 55-75% of stroke survivors suffer from motor dysfunction, with upper limb impairments affecting up to 85% of them …
Predictors of Emergency Department Use in Frail Patients
When admitted to the emergency department (ED), elderly non-autonomous patients show high risk of adverse health outcomes. The prompt identification of ED use risk factors in such population is hence needed. While cognitive impairment is a known clinical risk factor, biomarkers of most prevalent dementias have been scarcely investigated as …
