Dysfunctional Breathing in Individuals With Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
The aim of this observational study was to learn about the characteristics of dysfunctional breathing in individuals with thoracic outlet syndrome. The main question to be answered is: Is there a dysfunctional breathing pattern in individuals with Thoracic outlet syndrome? These features will be compared with a healthy control group …
Medical Students' Evaluation of Dyslipidemia and LIPoprotein(a) Study
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) levels among volunteer medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital of Ioannina, Greece. Data collected will include demographic information, family and medical history, as well as lifestyle habits, and the study aims to provide valuable insights into …
Autoimmune Dementia: Predictors of Neuronal Synaptic Antibodies in Patients With New-ONset Cognitive Impairment
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the frequency and the possible pathogenic role of neuronal synaptic antibodies (NSAb) in patients with cognitive impairment (CI). The main questions it aims to answer are: the frequency and associated features of NSAb in patients with CI and the usefulness of …
Structural and Microbiological Characterization of Arterial Catheter Biofilm in ICU's Patients Using Optical Coherence Tomography
29.3% of bacteremias in intensive care units (ICU) are linked to vascular devices, including 7.7% to arterial catheters, with an influence on both morbility and mortality. It is now accepted that biofilm as a role on bacterial development on inner surface of vascular devices but there is yet a lack …
Oral Status as Predictors of Stroke-Associated Pneumonia and Swallowing Recovery in Patients With Post-Stroke Dysphagia
Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common condition that significantly impacts recovery and increases the risk of complications such as pneumonia, malnutrition, and prolonged hospital stays. Early identification and management are essential, as emphasized in several international clinical guidelines. However, predicting which patients will develop stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) or experience delayed …
Non-Invasive Measurements of Changes in Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Intensive Care Unit Patients Using Electrical Impedance Tomography - A Feasibility Study
To assess whether changes in electrical impedance - measured using an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) chest belt - can be used to derive changes in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in critically ill patients when compared to invasive gold-standard PAP measured using pulmonary artery catheter (PAC).
Relaxin Measurement in Different Endometrial Preparation Approaches for Frozen Embryo Transfer
To investigate the levels of Relaxin in different types of endometrial preparation for a frozen embryo transfer cycle. Up to now it is unclear, whether ovulation with a functional corpus luteum (CL) will be present in a natural proliferative phase (NPP) endometrial preparation approach.
PREdiction of succeSSful weanING From Continuous Renal Replacement Theraphy: the Possible Role of Delta C-cistatin
The goal of this observational study is to know if, in patients with acute kidney injury, naive for renal injurie, admitted to different ICUs, the change in plasma concentration of c-cistatin, between initiation and discontinuation of CRRT, is a predictive finding to optimize the withdrawal time of renal support
Clinico-biological Collection of Bone, Calcium and Growth Plate Pathologies
The aim of this project is to set up a biological and clinical collection of patients with progressive bone, calcium and growth plate pathologies. This collection will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in growth plate and bone damage in these diseases and identify factors predictive of progression …
Muscle Oxygenation, Functional Capacity and Frailty in Kidney Transplant Recipients with and Without Inspiratory Muscle Weakness
The aim of this study was to compare respiratory function, muscle oxygenation, functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, body composition, and frailty in kidney transplant recipients with and without inspiratory muscle weakness.
