Risk Factors for Asymptomatic Rotator Cuff Tears to Become Symptomatic.
In this prospective study, subjects older than 55 years with a degenerative asymptomatic rotator cuff tears will be followed for a period of 2 years. After testing, a symptom registration form will be filled in every 3 months. The test moment consists of pain measurements (pain pressure thresholds and conditioned …
PET/MR for Characterization of Renal Masses (RMs)
The frequency of kidney tumors found incidentally on imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons continues to increase leading to more surgeries and ablations for the treatment of renal masses thought to be cancer. However, about 20% of these masses are not cancerous and do not require treatment. Many cancerous kidney …
Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy for Transmural Defects in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the best indications and techniques regarding endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in patients with a transmural defect in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (e.g. anastomotic leakage, Boerhaave syndrome, iatrogenic perforation, other). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is …
Multi-Vendor Multi-Site Novel Accelerated MRI Relaxometry
Currently the diagnosis of OA is based on radiographs and clinical findings, which is limited to detecting late-stage disease. There is a pressing, unmet clinical need for robust assessment of early changes in cartilage health. Towards this goal, extensive efforts are ongoing to develop quantitative MRI for cartilage matrix analysis. …
Biomarker Profiling in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Patients
The BIOMArCS-AAA study aims to investigate the associations of (temporal patterns of) blood biomarkers with aneurysm growth in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), with particular attention to biomarkers that have demonstrated prognostic value for adverse disease outcomes in coronary artery disease and biomarkers for the main genetic pathways associated …
Towards a Wearable Alcohol Biosensor: Examining the Accuracy of BAC Estimates From New-Generation Transdermal Technology Using Large-Scale Human Testing and Machine Learning Algorithms
The study will employ a combined laboratory-ambulatory design. Participants will engage in ambulatory assessment over the course of 14 days, wearing biosensors assessing transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) and providing breathalyzer readings in real-world contexts. Also during this period, participants will attend three laboratory alcohol-administration sessions scheduled at one-week intervals, with …
Resting State Functional Connectivity in Cluster Headache
Cluster headache is a highly disabling primary headache disorder, characterized by severe, excruciating, recurrent unilateral headache attacks. Typically, attacks' onset displays a circadian rhythm, and bout recurrence happens in a circannual fashion. Notably, the mechanisms underlying the shift between the remission phase and cluster bout are poorly understood. Thus, the …
How Urban Interventions in Lower Socioeconomic Areas Influence Health Behaviors (UrbASanté Study)
The UrbASanté study is a quasi-experimental research that aimed at assessing the impact of urban transformations (a natural experiment) in the health related behaviors, environmental exposure and perceived- health.
The EASE-IT CT Registry
ICA is not always required for a pre-TAVI workup of octogenarians and can be substituted by CTA resulting in a streamlined pre-procedural workup of patients without compromising patient safety.
Role of New High Resolution Ultrasonographic Modalities for Diagnosis of Fetal Nervous System Anomalies
The fetal CNS screening examination during the mid-trimester scan in low-risk pregnancies should include evaluation of the fetal head and spine, using transabdominal sonography. Evaluation of two axial planes allows visualization of the relevant cerebral structures to assess the anatomic integrity of the fetal brain.These planes are commonly referred to …
