Circulating Non-coding RNA in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AISRNA)
AISRNA is to analyze the expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) by next-generation sequencing in patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy control. The candidate circRNA/miRNA/lncRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
Towards Improved Diagnostics for Suspected Platelet Function Disorders
This study aims to improve platelet function testing during bleeding investigations. To this end, the study will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of novel platelet function tests in patients with confirmed or suspected platelet function disorders. Study participants will be recruited from patients that are referred to or treated at the …
Who Will Benefit From Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes?
A study investigating the influence of fat distribution, genetic susceptibility markers for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and fat distribution, epigenetic and transcriptomic changes and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal on diabetes remission following bariatric surgery.
Interhemispheric Anterior Delta Desynchronization in Children Who Present to the Emergency Department With Acute Concussion: A Proof of Concept Study
Approximately 150,000 children present each year to emergency departments (EDs) in the US with concussion and many more are treated by primary care physician, or outpatient specialists. Concussion is defined as a traumatically induced transient disturbance of brain function and involves a complex pathophysiological process. There is a variety of …
Association Between Driving Transpulmonary Pressure and Extravascular Lung Water in Patients With ARDS
Intubated patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are usually treated with protective ventilation limiting plateau pressure below 30 centimeter of water (cmH2O) and, if possible, a driving pressure under 15 cmH2O. However, these airway pressures might not reflect the actual pressure applied to the lung. Transpulmonary pressure is …
Integrating Pediatric Pharmacogenomic Testing Into the Canadian Health Care System
This project addresses the problem of adverse drug reactions in the three most frequently prescribed therapeutic classes of drugs in children: antibiotics, analgesics, and mental health medications. We will conduct pilot testing of a pharmacogenomic testing panel and study how the tests and generated test results are utilized and understood …
Early Detection of Imaging-derived Subclinical Cardiac Injuries
Breast cancer (BC) radiotherapy leads to incidental cardiac irradiation, resulting in an increased risk of various major cardiac events (MCEs). In addition, recent studies indicate that for the treatment of BC, the addition of chemotherapy further enhances the risk of MCEs. Information regarding morphological and functional early subclinical cardiac injuries …
An Observational Clinical Study Plan on the Effects of Radiotherapy on the Immune System of Patients With Malignant Tumors.
To explore the impact of radiotherapy on peripheral blood myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), T cells and extramedullary erythroid precursor cells in patients with malignant tumors, and to evaluate the correlation between changes in the proportion of these cells before and after radiotherapy and the efficacy of radiotherapy in patients.
Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacokinetics of Valsartan
Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological …
Surgery as a Treatment for Medically Intractable Epilepsy
Background Drug resistant epilepsy is the term used to describe epilepsy that cannot be controlled by medication. Many people whose seizures do not respond to medication will respond to surgical treatment, relieving seizures completely or almost completely in one-half to two-thirds of patients who qualify for surgery. The tests and …
