Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation and Correlation to Quality of Life
The primary objective of this study is to determine the atrial fibrillation burden reduction, or absolute atrial fibrillation burden, associated with improvement in quality of life in patients undergoing ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation.
Metabolomic and Proteomic Fingerprinting in Peri-implant Diseases
Due to the limited efficacy of its treatment modalities, there is a stringent need to improve the prevention and early diagnosis of peri-implantitis. In fact, to date clinical and radiographic tools are not able to discern which patients are going to develop peri-implantitis and, among the ones already with peri-implantitis, …
Skin-to-skin Contact in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Caregiving Touch and Neural Correlates of Slow Stroking Touch in Preterm Infants
Preterm (PT) infants spend their first weeks of life in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where receive little affective physical contact, which plays a crucial role in brain development. Evidence indicates that skin-to-skin contact (SSC) has a positive effect on infants' neurophysiological and behavioral adjustment to postnatal life. Moreover, caregiving …
Cerebral Morbidity After Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors
This study will assess cognitive function in patients with a primary brain tumour treated with radiation therapy (RT) to generate radio-sensitivity and volume effect parameters for the development of cognitive dysfunction. All types of brain tumours apart from glioblastoma will be included.
Evaluation of Prevalence and Clinical Impact of Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke and High-Risk Patent Foramen Ovale
The purpose of DEFENSE-ELDERLY is to identify the prevalence of AF and evaluate the clinical impact of AF in elderly ESUS patients and no other known sources of stroke besides a high-risk patent foramen ovale, and compare it with elderly ESUS patients without high-risk PFO (no PFO or non-high risk …
Comparison of Outcomes in Asleep and Awake DBS With a Directional Electrode
To compare the clinical outcome of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with directional deep brain (dDBS) stimulation undergoing subthalamic deep brain stimulation operation (STN-DBS) under general anesthesia versus local anesthesia.
Influence of Hormone Treatment in Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is often treated with cystectomy or radiation therapy. Following radiation therapy patients will often have severe side effects from the treatment. Studies have suggested that simultanously treatment with androgen deprivation therapy during radiation therapy may be able to proctect stemcells in the bladder, thus improving tissue recovering post-radiation, …
Accuracy of Cardiac Acoustic Biomarkers Recorded by the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Evaluate data accuracy of cardiac acoustic biomarkers (CABs) recorded by the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) as compared to the AUDICOR AM acoustic cardiography recorder.
Comparing Sensory Modulation Anxiety and Quality of Life Between Children With Primary Headaches and Healthy Peers
Study hypotheses: Children with headaches will show significantly higher sensory reactivity, higher anxiety level and lower quality of life that health controls. Among children with headaches, sensory reactivity will significantly correlate with higher anxiety level and lower quality of life. Among children with headaches quality of life will be predicted …
Social Anxiety Virtual Reality Study
This project aims to validate a virtual reality paradigm that assesses maladaptive avoidance behavior in social anxiety disorder. It also aims to generate a significant scientific advance by testing the hypothesis that maladaptive avoidance maintains anxiety through disruptions in safety learning.
