Short- and Long-term Behavioral, Cognitive and Motor Outcomes of Frameless Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: a Prospective Observational Study
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the improvement in quality of life after deep brain stimulation surgery with frameless technique by comparing the PDQ-39 scale score at baseline (before surgery) and one year after surgery.
CareCOPD - COPD Home Monitoring Study
This is a pilot study to demonstrate early validation of objective home-monitoring of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients by combining accurate and relevant patient data of medication and lung function (lung impedance) through patient-facing devices.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study on Patients With Hemifacial Spasm
Up to now, multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) has been widely used to detect the neurovascular compressions (NVC) on the patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS). However, due to lack of stereoscopic vision, this traditional method sometimes can not meet the requirement on identifying the details of NVC, especially when the aberrant vessels …
Pediatric Perioperative Satisfaction Questionnaire
The aim of this study is to develop and validate a self-report questionnaire to evalutate the satisfaction of the children after surgery.
Inpatient Stroke Recovery Using Sensors
This observational trial seeks to assess the feasibility of using non-invasive, portable, real-time body-worn sensors to continuously monitor, quantify, and interpret recovery during inpatient treatment of stroke
The Derivation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines From PGD Embryos
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are isolated from the early human embryo and have the capability to proliferate indefinitely in culture and to develop into nearly every cell of the human body. hESC are important for studying developmental biology and for cell replacement therapies for the treatment of degenerative human …
Optical Guided Sentinel Node Biopsy for Staging of Vulvar Cancer
The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of applying the SLN mapping technique in combination with FDG-PET/CT imaging in women with vulva cancer tumour size >4 cm, multifocal tumors and local recurrences.
Dysfunctional Myelopoiesis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Sepsis
Adverse outcomes in surgical sepsis patients are secondary to dysregulated emergency myelopoiesis, and expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Here we propose to determine the underlying mechanisms behind the increased expansion of these leukocyte populations and the underlying mechanisms that drive inflammation and immune suppression.
Utility of Thenar Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in Pediatric Patients With Heart Failure
This is a single-center, non-randomized study.The study staff will use the InSpectraTM tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) monitor manufactured by Hutchinson Technology to measure baseline StO2 levels after applying the noninvasive probe to the thenar eminence. After a stable reading is obtained, a blood pressure cuff will be inflated 40 mmHg …
sCD163 in PBC Patients - Assessment of Treatment Response
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune chronic liver disease, characterised by destruction of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the first line treatment for patients with PBC. However, up to 40% of patients respond inadequate to this treatment. sCD163 is a macrophage activation marker shedded into …
