The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index Arabic Version
To evaluate, translate, culturally adapt, validate, and investigate the reliability of Arabic version of The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC). The null hypothesis of this study will be stated as: Arabic language version of the WORC doesn't have face, content, or construct validity enough to measure quality of life …
A Causative Role for Amylin in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Three pieces of information lead to the basis for this study: Individuals with Type-2 diabetes commonly develop peripheral neuropathy. Increased production of the hormone amylin occurs in individuals who have Type-2 diabetes. Aggregations of amylin was found in the peripheral vasculature of rats that overexpressed human amylin. The purpose of …
Interest of the Cone Beam Scanner of Temporal Bones in the Analysis of Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss is very common and the incidence increases with age. Until now, the scanner was the reference examination in the etiological diagnosis of deafness. When performing a CT scan of temporal bones for the etiological diagnosis of conductive hearing loss, the quality of the image depends on the …
Developing a New EEG Method for the Early Diagnosis of Dementia
This is a non-invasive study investigating whether EEG, which is used in routine clinical care can be useful in diagnosing dementia. Novel in house developed software will analyse EEG data for this purpose from people with Alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers.
Interest of Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Severity of Lateral Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprain is a frequent and widely trivialized trauma. Misdiagnosed or poorly treated, it can recur and thus develop into chronic ankle instability. It can be associated with complications which, if not detected early, can lead to long-term sequelae.
Antibiotic Dosing in Geriatric Patients at the Emergency Department
In this pilot study, we will investigate whether - with the current dosing regimens, used in the Ghent University Hospital - pharmacodynamic targets regarding beta-lactam antibiotics (more specific Amoxicilline-Clavulanate, Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Temocillin) are attained in frail patients admitted to the geriatric department.
Multimodal Imaging in Vitreo-retinal Surgery and Macular Dystrophies
The aim of the study is to identify morphological and functional biomarkers of post-operative recovery after vitreoretinal surgery, using decisional support systems (DSS), based on multimodal big-data analysis by means of machine learning techniques in daily clinical practice
Trigeminal Neuralgia Electrophysiology
The study intervention is to perform standard somatosensory evoked responses limited to the face during rhizotomy procedures of the gasserian ganglion (trigeminal ganglion) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. The evoked responses will be measured at two locations before and after the clinical rhizotomy including: the standard contralateral scalp (EEG) …
Validation of the Italian Version of the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) in Total Ankle Replacement
The arthritic pathology of the tibio-tarsal joint has a prevalence of approximately 1% in the general population, and its incidence has been increasing over the years. Advanced-stage arthritis causes pain, impairs mobility, and has an extremely negative impact on patients' quality of life, resulting in significant social and economic costs. …
Assess the Risk of Cerebrovascular Disease
Intracranial artery stenosis is an important cause of ischemic stroke, but the degree of intracranial artery stenosis is not completely matched with the symptoms of ischemic stroke. Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) refers to does not appear related neurological symptoms of carotid stenosis and stroke or transient ischemic attack of carotid …
