Prenatal Ultrasonographic Assessment of Fetal Thyroid in Patients with Thyroid Pathology
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the possibility to use prenatal ultrasonography for diagnosis and prognostic guidance in cases of suspected fetal thyroid changes in fetuses belonging to women with thyroid disease and women with low obstetric risk (i.e., pregnancy not complicated by maternal and/or fetal pathology) …
Perineal and Abdominal Reconstruction: a Comparison of Reconstructive Methodologies
The different reconstructive methods (V-Y flap, lotus flap, gracilis muscle flap, TRAM flap) will be compared with the complications that occurred following the surgery, so as to define which reconstructive methods have led to fewer complications and in which categories of patients.
Effect of the Stellate Ganglion Block on the Retinal Microcirculation
Surges in the sympathetic nervous system occur at the ictus of a variety of neurological critical illnesses including intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. It is hypothesized that these exaggerated increases in sympathetic nervous activity produce maladaptations that promote secondary brain injury. One of these possible mechanisms include diffuse vasospasm that …
Observational Study on the Clinical Use of Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (XPS™) for Lung Transplantation
Clinical use of ex-vivo perfusion for lung transplantation. Collection, storage and processing of patient data for outcome analysis.
Tissue Study on the Chronic Active Humoral Rejection (cAMR) Population of Kidney Transplantation
The study is tissue-based, retrospective and prospective, single-centre, non-sponsored. Primary objective: To examine patient and organ survival and eGFR variation in kidney transplant patients diagnosed histologically with cAMR.
Body Composition in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa
Body Mass Index (BMI) is currently the most widely recommended parameter for identifying underweight subjects. Among eating disorder diseases, anorexia nervosa (AN) is the one with the highest mortality rate and with relapses between 12 and 27%. To date, recovery programs allow approximately 40% of subjects to achieve recovery, 30% …

This study aims to analyze the role of the hospital node in the acute event management of pediatric patients referred to Pediatric Palliative Care. Patients eligible for pediatric palliative care experience frequent hospitalizations. In oncology patients, hospitalizations are mainly for the treatment of the disease and the performance of diagnostic …
Comparison of Intr-operative Neuromonitoring Technique in Trans-oral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach
Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has the advantage of scarless cosmesis but has limitations of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy. Intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (I-IONM) techniques have been utilized during TOETVA to identify and map RLN to prevent RLN injury. However, the insult may still occur between two neural stimulations. …
Diagnosis and Allergen Identification of Perioperative Anaphylaxis
Perioperative anaphylaxis may lead to fatal respiratory and/or circulatory events, yet both clinical diagnosis and management are challenging. Serum tryptase is an indicator that can provide important retrospective diagnostic value for anaphylaxis. Another key point in perioperative anaphylaxis management is to identify the allergens, and thus avoid re-exposure during later …
Natural Course of Initially Metabolic Healthy Obese Individuals (Healthy Obesity)?
The main goal of this study is to gain a thorough understanding, which specific factors drive the unhealthy sequelae of obesity. Therefore, the investigators want to understand: What distinguishes obese persons without metabolic diseases from those with medical diseases in a cross-sectional comparison? Which factors drive the conversions from metabolically …
