Targeting Breathing Limitations to Improve Functional Outcomes in HFpEF
The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether pulmonary limitations that increase the oxygen (O2) cost of breathing impact dyspnea on exertion (DOE) and peak exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and obesity. As per investigator's hypothesis, obesity is likely a significant contributor to DOE and exercise intolerance …
NEO- and Adjuvant Targeted Therapy in Braf-mutated Anaplastic Cancer of the Thyroid (NEO-ATACT Study)
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an almost invariable lethal cancer in humans. Most patients present with a rapid progressive mass in the neck with progressive complaints like dyspnoea, dysphagia or pain. The risk of suffocation is the main reason for rapid surgical intervention, but we know from literature that an …
99mTc-MY6349 SPECT/CT Imaging in Trop2-positive Triple-negative Breast Cancer
Human trophoblast cell-surface glycoprotein antigen 2 (Trop2) is a membrane surface receptor that plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. Studies have shown that Trop2 is highly expressed in a variety of cancers (such as breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate …
Hepatic and Systemic Hemodynamic Modeling During Liver Surgery
" Despite the medical and surgical progress of the last two decades, the selection of candidates for liver surgery remains based on old principles and insufficiently sensitive to fine-tune the gesture to patient-specific characteristics and make almost zero risks of postoperative liver failure (PLF) and death. It is therefore necessary …
Maxillary and Mandibular Nerve Block
Mandibular fractures are among the most common (60-70%) maxillofacial fractures observed in emergency rooms. In the closed reduction (non-surgical), the bone fragments are realigned manually or by using traction devices. The open reduction surgery of mandibular fractures should first ensure the restoration of the occlusion of the mandible to prevent …
Upper Airway's Pressure Drop Analyses After Mandibular Advancement and Maxillary Expansion
Breathing is a crucial function for everyone. Breathing impairment in children could lead to behavioral and cognitive problems at least. But what if orthodontic treatment could help those patients to breathe better, with less effort? This research proposal aims to find out if the increase in the upper airway volume …
Complex and Simple Appendicitis: REstrictive or Liberal Post-operative Antibiotic eXposure (CASA RELAX)
This prospective trial will randomize patients who have had an appendectomy to two different durations of antibiotic therapy depending on the status of the appendicitis. For simple appendicitis, patients will be randomized to peri-operative antibiotics or 24 hours duration. For complex appendicitis, patients will be randomized to 24 hours or …
Oncological Benefits of Pressured Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) in Patients With T3-4 Gastric Cancer Cyt-
Stomach cancer is recognized as the third leading cause of death of cancer patients worldwide. Despite the radical treatment carried out, the progression of gastric cancer occurs in 30-40% of patients. The most common type of tumor progression of this localization is peritoneal carcinomatosis. When peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, the median …
Estrogen Supplementation and Bone Health in Women With CF
The goal of this study is to learn about the role of estrogen and other hormones in bone development in adolescent and young adult women with cystic fibrosis (CF). The study has two main components, an observational study and a feasibility sub-study. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
Cellular Therapy for In Utero Repair of Myelomeningocele - The CuRe Trial
Spina bifida, or myelomeningocele (MMC), is a disorder where the lower part of the spinal cord of the fetus is exposed, meaning there is no bone or skin covering it. This is dangerous because the spinal cord contains cells which control one's ability to move their legs and walk, and …
