CT-guided Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and MRI-guided Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer MIRAGE Study
This phase III trial studies compares CT-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy and MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating prostate cancer. Image-guided SBRT is a standard treatment for prostate cancer, which combines imaging of the cancer within the body with the delivery of therapeutic radiation doses produced on a …
A Closed-loop Brain-computer Interface for Stroke
It may be hard to acquire stable sensorimotor rhythm from the affected motor cortex for patient without a response of paretic hand. A few studies suggest two ways to approaching closed-loop therapy: peripherally extracting the residual signals, for example electromyogram (EMG) at proximal muscles (deltoids) and centrally extracting the activity …
Layer-specific Contribution to Consolidation of Skill Learning in the Primary Motor Cortex
Background Training in a new motor skill often involves periods of active practice and periods of rest. During early motor skill learning, improvements in performance usually happen during the short rest periods between practice sessions. Researchers want to use improved imaging techniques to study the contributions of specific parts of …
Validation of Continuous Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitoring in VA-ECMO Patients
Carbon dioxide in patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is eliminated via respirator as well as via the oxygenator's membrane of the ECMO machine. Consequently, monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide tensions is limited, which can result in marked swings towards non-physiological values. Hyper- and hypocapnia, however, can have detrimental …
DWIBS-MRI: An Adjunct to the Traditional Diagnostic Breast Imaging Evaluation
1.1. Primary Objectives To determine if MRI DWIBS can accurately identify suspicious lesions previously categorized on mammography and sonography as potentially malignant. We will also validate whether DWIBS-MRI ADC values can be used to accurately differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Additionally, because it is not known whether tumor type or …
Attentional Performance in Parkinson Disease
Background Parkinson Disease (PD) is a nervous system disorder that affects movement. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain. As PD progresses, there is less and less dopamine in the brain. Researchers think there may be a relationship between differences in attention and dopamine in people with PD. Objective …
Dietary Diversity of Young Children During CoVID-19 Outbreak: A Longitudinal Study
The 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic has had far-reaching consequences beyond the spread of the disease. Quarantine measures during a public health pandemic can be particularly detrimental to urban poor families and affect the dietary diversity and food security. This can disproportionately affect young children aged 6 and below, and severely impact …
Cardiovascular Consequences After COVID-19
The occurrence of cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infections appears to be more frequent than in other viral respiratory infections, probably due to a singular pathophysiology of this coronavirus. The lack of characterization of cardiovascular damages linked to Covid-19 could have medium and long-term consequences on the prognosis of patients. This …
Comparison Between the Old Diagnostic Tools for Paediatric Undernutrition and the HAS Recommendations
Undernutrition is a widely under-diagnosed public health problem, including in pediatrics department. Undernutrition prevalence in pediatrics departments is about 15 to 20%. Until now, there has been no national consensus on the criteria to be used to diagnose paediatric undernutrition. Until now, assessment focused on a range of non-consensus arguments …
Direct Effect of Caffeine on Diaphragmatic Muscles
The mechanism of methylxanthines is thought to increase chemoreceptor responsiveness to CO2 in central nervous system. Besides, effect of methylxanthines on diaphragmatic contractility has also been found in experimental studies. A study of premature newborns has showed caffeine increase diaphragmatic activity and tidal volume. But, there is limited data about …
