A Study of Enterorenal Syndrome Assessed by Gastrointestinal Ultrasound Combined with Renal Artery Resistance Index
In this study, the patients with sepsis caused by abdominal infection were divided into survival group and death group by ultrasound examination of gastrointestinal function, superior mesenteric artery blood flow, and renal artery resistance index. The cross-sectional area of gastric antrum, average time flow rate of superior mesenteric artery, colon …
Placement of Biliary Drainage Stent to Prevent Biliary Intestinal Anastomosis After Liver Transplantation in Children
Liver transplantation is an effective method for treating end-stage liver disease and metabolic diseases in children. With the advancement of surgical techniques and the improvement of perioperative management, the survival rates of patients and grafts after liver transplantation have significantly improved. However, the complication of biliary stenosis after transplantation is …
Spanish Natural History Study for LAMA2 Muscular Dystrophy
The objective of this natural history study is to comprehensively characterize the disease progression and clinical features of LAMA2-related dystrophies (LAMA2-RD) in the pediatric population. The study aims to establish a well-defined cohort of patients in Spain, enabling long-term follow-up and facilitating recruitment for future clinical trials.
Platelet and Autotransfusion Device in Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery is a bleeding-risk surgery and frequently requires blood transfusion. Intraoperative autotransfusion devices are used to aspirate, process and retransfuse patients' blood. These devices are effective in recovering red blood cells and limiting the need for transfusion of packed red blood cells. Some devices, such as I-SEP's SAME®, can …
Mosaic Mitral Valve: Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Under 65
The safety and efficacy of the Mosaic bioprosthetic heart valves for cardiac valve replacement in the aortic position has been well documented throughout the literature. However, few studies assessing structural valve deficiency, patient outcomes and overall product performance in patients under the age of 65 exists for the Mosaic mitral …
Comparison of MBR + Suture Tape and MBR for CLAI in GJL Cases: A Prospective Cohort Study
GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. Additional suture tape augmentation has been suggested to provide more strength and stability. However, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown, which requires further exploration.
Epididymis Protein 4 and Pulmonary Function With Quality Improvement Protocol Among Cystic Fibrosis Patients
To implement a quality improvement plan aimed at achieving a 5% increase in the Forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1) (% predicted value) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with impaired pulmonary function parameters over 12 months. Additionally, the plan aims to measure serum human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) levels …
Neural Mechanisms and Clinical Applications of DBS for Modulating Sleep Dysregulation in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms; however, non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders significantly impair patients' quality of life. While preliminary evidence suggests DBS may improve sleep, the underlying neural …
TSPO-PET/MRI in Surveillance of Neuroinflammation in the Central Nervous System
Central Nervous System (CNS) inflammation is an immune response activated in the brain and spinal cord by microglial cells and astrocytes, commonly occurring under conditions such as central nervous system ischemia, autoimmunity, infection, toxins, and trauma. Microglial cells, as the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, are responsible …
Smoldering Inflammation in MS
The goal of this observational study is to learn about inflammation in those with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: How does abnormal neural inflammation compare to cellular and molecular inflammation in MS? Once treated, why does abnormal inflammation persist?
