Comparison of Femto LDV Z8 Corneal Lenticule Extraction for Advanced Refractive Correction (CLEAR) and Visumax Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE)
This observational study aims to compare two laser corrective procedures for treating myopia and myopic astigmatism: a novel refractive technique, the CLEAR procedure, and the established SMILE procedure. Participants will be randomized to undergo CLEAR in one eye and SMILE in the other. The investigators will evaluate and compare the …
Investigating the Link Between Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and Muscle Wasting in Sarcobesity
The study aims to explore whether a high level of AGEs (Advanced Glycation end products) derived from the diet may mediate diet-related muscle loss in Western-type diet, influencing the onset and progression of sarcopenia, predisposing to earlier and more severe metabolic consequences, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). The primary objective …
Effect of Serum Magnesium Level on the Success of Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESE) is an interventional method frequently used in the treatment of radicular pain due to disc herniation. TFESE, which is applied under sterile conditions and under fluoroscopy guidance, increases its effectiveness when applied in the early period (first 3 months). Inflammation and increase in neurotransmitters in …

FGF23 and Cardiovascular Damage in Anemia With an Without Chronic Kidney Disease.
Anemia is associated with cardiovascular disease. Iron deficiency is usually induced in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical studies, an inverse association between serum levels of iron and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a cardiovascular risk factor, has been demonstrated. In addition, a number of the I.V. iron presentations mostly …
Unraveling the Genetic Basis of Nicotine Addiction for Novel Therapeutic Strategies
This case-control study aims to investigate the genetic and molecular bases of nicotine addiction to identify potential therapeutic targets. The project will involve drug repurposing using Mendelian Randomization, a smoking cessation intervention, and the analysis of methylation status in participants undergoing nicotine withdrawal.

Differences regarding achieving protein and calorie daily targets when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content Differences …
Using Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model Cancer Therapy-Related Adverse Events
This study is being done to find out if patient blood samples can be used to perform individualized modeling of cancer therapy-related side effects.
PPG to Predict Ejection Fraction and Other Echographic Data in the General Population
The investigators are aiming to investigate the association between ejection fraction (EF) determined by echocardiography and signals obtained from Photoplethysmography (PPG) in the general population. The investigators are also aiming to investigate the association between blood pressure and signals obtained from PPG in the general population. Finally, the investigators are …
