Feasibility and Effectiveness of Augmented Reality Assistance System for Pancreatic Surgery
Pancreatic cancer necessitates surgical resection for complete tumor eradication, serving as the primary curative approach. However, pancreatic surgery is still challenging due to the organ's retroperitoneal anatomy and proximity to vital vascular systems. Thus, precise preparation and dissection of peripancreatic vessels are crucial during pancreatic surgery to reduce perioperative complications …
Tumor Microenvironment in Gastric Cancer Patients Treated With Combined Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy
The goal of this study is to analyze the tumor microenvironment (TME) in gastric cancer patients treated with combined immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Provide profiles of TME between pre-treatment and post-treatment to gain insights into the mechanisms of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in …
Non-contact Blood Pressure and SpO2 Measurement Based on Image Sensor
This study aims to develop an automated and real-time non-contact vital sign measurement system using cameras. It will collaborate with physicians from National Taiwan University Hospital to conduct measurements during outpatient visits or hospitalizations. This allows physicians to non-invasively measure multiple vital signs (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and …
Diagnosis of Adrenal Insufficiency in Liver Cirrhosis Patients
Patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) often exhibit fatigue, poor oral intake, and abdominal discomfort, which are the symptoms that are also shown in subjects with adrenal insufficiency (AI). Controversy exists upon over-diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency in patients with LC, because decreased albumin and/or cortisol binding protein lower total cortisol levels …
Neural and Cognitive Consequences of COVID-19 Survival
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID, continues to rage throughout the world with 115,000,000 confirmed cases and over 2,500,000 deaths (as of Mar 3, 2021). This translates to millions of people surviving COVID19 infection. While the lungs are ground zero, COVID tears through organ systems from brain to blood vessels. …
Prognosis of Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma Receiving Kidney-sparing Therapy
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare malignant disease which accounts for 5-10% of urothelial carcinoma in the western world and 9%-30% in China. About two thirds of patients have muscle invasive disease at diagnosis. Those patients usually have poor prognosis. The 5 year cancer specific survival is <50% …
Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The purpose of this trial is to define knee joint pathomechanics (KJPM) in the first 2 years after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and relate these KJPM with changes in articular cartilage morphology and quality.
Prospective, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Endovascular Treatment in Patients With Cerebral Aneurysms Using P64 and P48 Flow-Diverter Stents
The use of flow-diverting stents for the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms has proven to be effective and efficient in several clinical studies, leading to its widespread adoption. Devices with a higher number of filaments have a greater flow-diverting effect and less variation when there are changes in the caliber …
Muscle Strength and Balance in Individuals With Joint Hypermobility
Joint hypermobility is a clinical condition characterized by joints having a range of motion beyond their normal limits. Joint hypermobility (JH) makes the joints more vulnerable to trauma in individuals with increased joint range of motion, changes in neuromuscular reflexes and decreased joint position sense. Individuals with JH have difficulty …
