Post-contracture Release Radiation for Dupuytren's Disease
To determine if the clinical impression of clinicians, ie that patients are improving with the current treatment pathway for Dupuytren's (contracture release followed by radiation), can be substantiated with scientific evidence.
Sympathetic Nerve Activity Predictors in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The project will be pursued in our respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory (Respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory, Department of Pneumology and Intensive Care Medicine, RWTH Aachen University Hospital; Head of Department: Professor Michael Dreher). Overactivity of the sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) axis with "centrally" increased heart rate and …
Cerebral Protection in Aortic Arch Surgery
Aortic arch repair surgery is a technically complex and challenging procedure to treat aortic pathologies. Despite advancements in perioperative care, detrimental neurological complications occur during or after surgery. The neurological complications increase the economic burden of healthcare, morbidity and quality of life for the patients, even if they survive. Stroke, …
Prospective Observational Study to Validate Circulating HPVDNA and Prognostic Genomic Biomarkers in HPV-associated OPSCC
The primary goal of this study is to examine whether recurrence of HPV-associated OPSCC can be predicted by two factors: 1) mutations in genes called TRAF3 and CYLD, and 2) measurements of circulating HPV DNA in blood plasma. The study will also investigate whether HPV integration is associated with TRAF3 …
The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic
The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic was established and opened in May of 2013 to provide intensive therapeutic services to individuals with motor impairment secondary to neuromotor disorders. It is direct by Dr. Stephanie DeLuca and based on the principles surrounding ACQUIREc Therapy. ACQUIREc Therapy is an evidenced-based approach to …
Strength After Elbow Fractures in the Elderly
Elderly patients strength and function, specifically the ability to rise from a seat after either operative or non operative treatment of an mayo type 2 olecranon fracture.
Dynamic ctDNA Monitoring in Neoadjuvant Therapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, observational cohort study. The primary endpoint is pathological complete response (pCR), and the secondary endpoints include R0 resection rate, ctDNA clearance rate, major pathological response (MPR), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS). Chinese patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who are eligible …
Validation of Pre-clinical Nano-Based Analgesics in Cells From Human Dorsal Root Ganglia
This study investigates the pre-clinical nano-based analgesics in cells from human dorsal root ganglia (clusters of neurons). Collecting these neurons may help future research related to safe and effective pain treatment.
OCT in Diagnosis of Irregular Corneas
This main goal of this study is to improve the detection, classification, monitoring, and treatment of irregular corneas due to keratoconus, warpage, dry eye, scar, stromal dystrophies, and other corneal conditions. The primary goal will be achieved by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to: Develop an OCT-based system to classify …
Effects of Therapies in the Acromegaly Disease: Acral Morpho-functional Study
Acromegaly is a rare chronic disease due to excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), caused in over 98% of cases by GH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Prolonged exposure to GH/IGF-I excess is the cause of increased mortality and morbidity in these patients. Arthropathy occurs in about 75% …
