Effects of Directional Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation on Gait and Balance in Parkinson's Disease Patients
Deep brain stimulation of the NST is effective for cardinal motor signs in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), its effects on gait disturbances, especially freezing of gait-FOG, and falls are variable from one patient to another, in part depending on the location of the NST-stimulating contact. The ability to …
Diffusion MRI for Head and Neck Cancer
The proposed study is to investigate the feasibility of using quantitative diffusion MRI (dMRI) methods for accurate and comprehensive assessment of treatment response. dMRI is a powerful tool to probe treatment-induced change in tumors. It is a unique in vivo imaging technique sensitive to cellular microstructures at the scale of …
Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Immediately Before Surgery as an Intra- or Pre-Operative Surrogate for Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is common practice in the primary treatment of breast cancer, leading to a complete pathologic remission (pCR) of the tumor in more than 50% in aggressive tumor types. As NAC induces different response patterns, radiologic imaging is not sufficiently accurate in predicting residual disease. Because of this …
Personalized Performance Optimization Platform
Crews of future long-duration exploration missions will have to cope with a wide range of stressors that present significant challenges for maintaining optimal performance. Crews will have to operate under conditions of high workload, reduced sleep and circadian dysregulation, limited sensory stimulation, confinement and extended separation from family and friends, …
Prophylactic Infusion of Calcium Gluconate Reducing the Rate of Hypocalcaemia After Total Thyroidectomy
Post-total thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia is a common complication with the rate ranging from 13-49% in a meta-analysis. However, the rate in UMMC in 2018 and 2019 were 40% and 23% respectively. It lead to prolonged hospital stay and patient dissatisfaction in the event of hypocalcaemia. Research question: Does prophylactic intravenous calcium …
Immunity and Safety of Covid-19 Synthetic Minigene Vaccine
In December 2019, viral pneumonia caused by a novel beta-coronavirus (Covid-19) broke out in Wuhan, China. Some patients rapidly progressed and suffered severe acute respiratory failure and died, making it imperative to develop a safe and effective vaccine to treat and prevent severe Covid-19 pneumonia. Based on detailed analysis of …
Effects of Brain Stimulation on Cognition Oscillations and GABA Levels in Schizophrenia
The purpose of this study is to use a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), to test a set of hypotheses about the role of the prefrontal cortex in behavioral and neural correlates of cognition in schizophrenia. Behavioral, electrophysiological (EEG) and neuroimaging measures will be used to …
Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Perioperative Toripalimab in Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery has become the standard treatment option for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). However, only 20% to 40% of patients can achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant CRT with favorable prognosis and about 10% of patients have disease progression after chemoradiotherapy. How …
Pelvic Floor Magnetic Stimulation in Women With Idiopathic Overactive Bladder
In clinical practice, Bladder Traininhg (BT) and Magnetic stimulation (MS) are frequently used together in the treatment of women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). Up to our knowledge, there is no study evaluating the combined effect of magnetic stimulation and bladder training in women with idiopathic OAB in the literature. …
Microbiota and Bone Fragility:Study of the Relation Between Gut Microbiota and Bone Microarchitecture
Gut microbiota regulate metabolism of their human host. Some diseases are associated with variations in gut microbiota diversity and higher fracture risk. Intestinal bacteria synthesize or influence synthesis of factors modulating bone metabolism. The link between gut microbiota and bone was assessed mainly in experimental animal studies. Clinical data, e.g. …
