The Relationship Between Trunk Control and Hand Functions in Individuals With Parkinson's
The trunk, which plays an integral role in postural stabilization, controls extremity movements by providing dynamic stabilization during performance. Trunk stability is thought to be a prerequisite for upper extremity functions and it is assumed that trunk control has an effect on hand functions. There is thought to be a …
CXCL9 and EASIX for Prediction of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease
The prediction of severe acute GVHD before it occurs is of high importance for ensuing clinical decisions and overall success of allogeneic SCT. The key immunologic signatures associated with clinical outcomes after different graft versus host disease prophylaxis methods or peripheral blood stem cell transplant are largely unknown.
Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Background Two ways to study the brain while people are moving are near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG). NIRS uses light to look at blood flow in the brain when it is active. EEG records electrical activity in the brain. Both have been used safely for many years, even in …
A New Mutational and Epigenetic Signature to Predict Early OPSCC Relapse
Inclusion of new biomarkers to improve the personalized treatment approach for HPV-positive and -negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients is urgently needed. Emerging evidences suggest that mutations in epigenetic regulators, as well as epigenetic changes, deeply influence the biology of OPSCC, thus representing attractive targets for the definition of …
Reversibility of Bronchial Obstruction in Children Born Preterm
This observational study aims to compare responses to different, commonly used inhaled bronchodilators in children born preterm with bronchial obstruction at spirometry. All children were diagnosed with Chronic Lung Disease of Immaturity (CLDI). The main questions are: Is any inhaled bronchodilator or their combination generally superior in children with CLDI …
Nalysis of the Periodontal Microbiota in Elderly Subjects With and Without Alzheimer's Disease: a Case Control Study
The neurological disorders that accompany aging represent a major public health problem. The management of these diseases is a major medical and social priority. This project is based on the assumption that the oral cavity represents a privileged observation space to address these issues. The mouth is a site of …
In-hospital Stellate Ganglion Block for Arrhythmic Storm
Arrhythmic storm is a real emergency and its treatment could be challenging. Antiarrhythmic drugs are few and often ineffective. Neuromodulation has been grown in evidences but no large multicentric studies are present in literature about safety and effectiveness of Percutaneous Stellate Ganglion Block (PSGB). Patients with an electrical storm refractory …
Endoscopic Surgery in the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Nasal and Paranasal Sinus
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) refers to a group of malignant tumors derived from non-epithelial extraosseous tissues, mainly from the mesoderm, partly from the neuroectoderm, including muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels and peripheral nerves . STS is divided into 12 major categories based on tissue origin. According to different morphologies …
Pathological Basis of MRI Signal Changes in Multiple Sclerosis
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that damages the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This leads to increased physical disability over time. The disease is lifelong once it begins. Researchers want to learn more about MS s stages and follow them until a person s death. Objective …
Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) or With a Precursor of the Disease
Using an extensive set of both volitional and non-volitional tests of respiratory muscle function and strength it is the aim of this study to identify potential determinants for the development of obesity hypoventilation to identify predictors for the presence of a sleep-related hypoventilation requiring treatment in obese patients
