Role of Endomyocardial Biopsy and Aetiology-based Treatment in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Heart Disease in Arrhythmic and Non-arrhythmic Clinical Presentations: an Integrated Approach for the Optimal Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management (MYOPED)
Myocarditis is a complex inflammatory disease, usually occurring secondary to viral infections, autoimmune processes or toxic agents. Clinical presentations are multiple, including chest-pain, heart failure and a broad spectrum of arrhythmias. In turn, outcome is largely unpredictable, ranging from mild self-limiting disease, to chronic stage and progressive evolution towards dilated …
The Value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in the Efficacy Evaluation of Advanced Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Undergoing Systemic Antitumor Therapy
This study aims to investigate the value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in the efficacy evaluation of advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing systemic antitumor therapy.
D Vitamin and Alveolar Macrophages in Idiopathic Pulmonal Fibrosis
The goal of this observational study is to gain deeper insights into human macrophages and vitamin D, and their interplay, within Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The overall questions, it aims to answer, are the following: Do IPF patients suffer from systemic and local (pulmonary) insufficient levels of vitamin D? Do …
Duodenal Polyposis Classification in FAP
Duodenal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), yet the current Spigelman staging system provides limited predictive accuracy for advanced neoplasia. The DRACO study (Duodenal Risk Assessment in adenomatous polyposis Coli -Oncogene) is a multicenter, STROBE- and CONSORT-compliant cohort study that analyzes …
Comparing Train-of-Four Recovery in the Adductor Pollicis Versus the Adductor Digiti Minimi in Elective Surgery Patients
The train-of-four (TOF) ratio is a quantitative measure used in anesthesia to assess the degree of neuromuscular blockade induced by neuromuscular blocking agents during surgical procedures. Current American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines recommend monitoring the TOF ratio to guide the administration and reversal of NMBAs, with a target ratio of …
Swiss Spinal Tumor Registry (Swiss-STR)
The Swiss Spinal Tumor Registry is a prospective REDCap-based registry, collecting data of surgically treated patients with primary and metastatic tumors of the spine.
Hybrid Florbetaben PET/MRI for Imaging of Cardiac Amyloidosis
Exploration of prognostic parameters in 18F-Florbetaben PET/MRI in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. The clinical endpoints are defined as occurence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in amyloidosis patients. Additionally, MACE outcome stratified by PET parameters will be evaluated and individual parameters of the imaging techniques will be compared to each …
Characterizing the Inflammation Around Dental Implants: Bacterial Infection, Hypersensitivity or Both?
The use of titanium dental implants has become a common modern treatment to restore teeth. Although the success rate of dental implants is high, inflammation around the dental implant still occurs. The current study will investigate if the inflammation around the implant is due to bacterial infection, hypersensitivity or both.
Streamlining Radioembolization for CCC and Metastatic Liver Cancer
TARE uses radioactive microspheres (20-60 μm), which are trapped in tumors due to abnormal vasculature, while normal liver sinusoids (≤15 μm) prevent their passage. However, some microspheres may drain into hepatic veins and reach the lungs, risking radiation pneumonitis. Pre-procedural evaluation with angiography and nuclear imaging (MAA scan with SPECT/CT) …
Lymph Node Metastasis in Early Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to develop a predictive model using deep learning and radiomics to assess the likelihood of lymph node metastasis in patients with early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Lymph node metastasis is a critical factor in determining the treatment approach and prognosis for ESCC patients. By analyzing medical …
