B3 for NMD: Bench to Bedside and Back
Background: Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) represent a broad group of rare genetic and acquired disorders, affecting over 300,000 people in Canada. Given the multiple different NMD subtypes, almost half of patients with NMD remain undiagnosed. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify genetic or other markers in patient biosamples …
Different Susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers Highly Exposed to COVID-19.
The primary objective of this study is to establish differences in susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCW) highly exposed to patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. To ascertain this issue, we evaluated: Changes in receptor polymorphism (ACE2 and CD26 receptor study. SARS-CoV-2 CD4/CD8 T cell response (CTL) Different …
Study on Susceptibility Genes and Pathogenic Mechanism of Non-syndromic Familial Aortic Dissection
Aortic dissection is dangerous and difficult to predict, so it is particularly important to carry out early prevention, diagnosis and rational treatment for high-risk groups. The related genes found in previous studies can not be detected in all patients with dissection; at present, the pathogenesis of non-syndromic aortic dissection is …
Preoperative Shielding and N/T RT-PCR Swabbing for Elective Cancer Surgery
trial to assess the effectiveness of pre-operative screening for COVID-19 in patients undergoing elective cancer surgery.
Pilot Study - Cognition in Patients With Hypoglycemia Without Diabetes
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between recurrent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and cognition (thinking) in individuals who have a history of hypoglycemia, but do not have pre-diabetes or diabetes. This study will analyze whether recurrent hypoglycemia is associated with differences in cognition …
Antibiotic Dosing in Geriatric Patients at the Emergency Department
In this pilot study, we will investigate whether - with the current dosing regimens, used in the Ghent University Hospital - pharmacodynamic targets regarding beta-lactam antibiotics (more specific Amoxicilline-Clavulanate, Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Temocillin) are attained in frail patients admitted to the geriatric department.
The Application of Non-invasive and Cellular Level Resolution Fullfield Optical Coherence Tomography: Establishment and Analysis of Subcutaneous Cellular Level Image Database of Anatomical Locations in Healthy Volunteers and Evaluation of Usability
The objective of this protocol is to image skin of healthy volunteers and to evaluate the performance of full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) device - the ApolloVue S100 Image System in imaging skin microstructures of healthy skin at different anatomical locations and nevi for different skin types and different age …
A Naturalistic Study of Functional Impairment for Individuals With ADHD in the Early Morning and Late Afternoon/Evening Hours
The objective of this study is to assess the burden and impact of ADHD impairment in the early morning and late afternoon/evening hours for adolescents and young adults. Functional impairments will focus on the currently identified areas of functional impairment in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5, …
COVID-19 in Cancer Patients: Evaluation of Clinical Course and Impact on Oncological Care Including Biobanking
The COVIDHELP study will prospectively evaluate the yet unknown clinical course of the COVID-19 infection in cancer patients and document the impact of potential infrastructural limitations on cancer care of COVID-19 positive patients. All patients consenting will provide peripheral blood samples for prospective biobanking with the aim of investigating immune …
The COVID-19 Disease and CARdiac Events Study
An observational study of consecutive patients testing positive for COVID-19 who require admission to hospital to determine the degree of myocardial injury through biomarkers and echocardiography and the impact of this on cardiovascular outcomes. The COVID-19 disease and CARdiac Events study (COVICARE).
