ARTFL LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD)
ARTFL LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) represents the formalized integration of ARTFL (U54 NS092089; funded through 2019) and LEFFTDS (U01 AG045390; funded through 2019) as a single North American research consortium to study FTLD for 2019 and beyond.
Effects of Maximum Strength and Acceleration Ability on Performance and Training in Wheelchair Sports
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relation between grip position and maximal strength and power in wheelchair rugby and basketball athletes. The main question is to investigate the relationship between maximal isometric force, acceleration, and sprint time. Participants will pull in their sport wheelchair against …
Long-term Outcomes Associated With Juvenile-onset Mycosis Fungoides and Lymphomatoid Papulosis
To follow up with all our participants with juvenile-onset mycosis fungoides, check on their status, and ask them or their parents about long term outcomes associated with their condition.
Cortical Function Changes During Swallowing in Patients With Dysphagia in Lateral Medullary Syndrome
The goal of this observational study is to detect the alteration of cortical activation and functional connectivity during swallowing in patients with Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) dysphagia by functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The main questions it aims to answer are: The alteration of cortical activation during swallowing in patients …
Stress and Anxiety Affect Residents' Performance
Being an anesthesiologist implies huge dedication and both physical and psychological efforts. None has ever studied the impact of a working day on anxiety, perceived stress levels, physiological data, and executive functions.
Multifrequency MRE in Evaluation of Chronic Kidney Diseases
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major public health issue, leading to high mortality and the necessity for renal replacement therapy. Kidney fibrosis, resulting from chronic damage to kidney tissue, significantly determines CKD outcomes. Kidney biopsy, the gold standard for assessing fibrosis, is invasive and limited in its ability to …
Cardiac Amyloidosis in HFpEF Tunisian Patients
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has recently been reported as a common cause of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), with a prevalence of 6% in elderly HFpEF patients. However, the diagnosis of CA is still challenging and requires multiple costly investigations. Regardless of the type of CA, TTR …
Factors Associated With Successful Completion of MRI in Children Undergoing a Vigil Sedation With Dexmedetomidin
This is a retrospective cohort study aiming to determine whether the use of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) to sedate children prior to MRI scanning is more or less effective in children with autism spectrum disorders or other neurodevelopmental disorders compared to other children.
Airway Microbiome Changes After Artificial Airway Exchange in Critically-ill Pediatric Patients.
Artificial airways, such as endotracheal tubes and tracheostomies, in the pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (PICU, NICU respectively) are lifesaving for patients in respiratory failure, among other conditions. These devices are not without a risk of infection - ventilator-associated infections (VAIs), namely ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and ventilator-associated tracheitis …
Monitoring of Patients With Diffuse Gliomas Using Circulating miRNAs
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes and, consequently, of intracellular signalling pathways that govern cellular behaviour (Komatsu et al., 2023). They are widely implicated in oncogenesis, and in particular in mechanisms promoting cell migration, invasion and proliferation (Romano et al., 2021). Several preliminary studies …
