Prospective Natural History Study of Smoking Immune Cell Profiles Epigenetics and COVID-19
Background Early evidence in the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that smokers are at a higher risk of having severe effects or dying from the disease. Smoking causes changes in immune cells. Researchers think this may be the reason why smokers are more likely to have severe effects from COVID-19. Researchers want …
Advanced Sensor Based Functional ASsessmenTs in Axial Spondyloarthritis
This is an observational study using IMU sensors to measure the effects of biological therapy on spinal mobility and function in axial spondyloarthritis. Participants will undergo MRI scans before and after therapy in parallel to the sensor tests to establish correlation between changes in inflammatory signs and changes in spinal …
Kinematic Analysis in Stroke Patients Using Microsoft Kinect and Akira Software: Kinect-Akira Movement Study
In this prospective, unicentric, case-control study, the main aim is to analyze joint movement and walking patterns in patients with acute stroke with a marker-free motion capture system. Case group: Stroke patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria are invited to participate in the study during admission. The evaluation consists of …
Adductor Longus Tenotomy & the BKFO Test
The bent knee fall out test (BKFO) is a common test for hip adductor flexibility. It is unknown whether the BKFO actually tests the the adductors or potentially hip range of motion instead. In this study, the BKFO test is performed in the operating theater before and after an adductor …
Incidence of Rhinological Morbidities During Endonasal Pituitary Surgery With or Without Nasoseptal Flap
Determine and compare prospectively the incidence of rhinological adverse events during pituitary surgery with or without nasoseptal flap
Kinematic- Versus Ligament-balanced Mechanical Alignment in TKA
A promising new approach in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for severe osteoarthritis of the knee joint is the the kinematic aligned procedure (KA). This technique provides prosthesis-positioning based on natural and individual axes of movement. Although first series have shown satisfying results, further verification by prospective studies and final meta-analyses …
Prosthetic Valve and Graft Endocarditis With Mycobacterium Chimaera
Mycobacterium chimaera infections have occurred in post-cardiac surgery patients in association with contaminated cardiac bypass heater-cooler devices. So far optimal therapeutical concepts are not clear. At the University Hospital Basel Mycobacterium chimaera- infected protheses are replaced to decrease pathogenic burden and to support antibiotic long- term treatment. This study is …
Impact of Obsidian ASG on Anastomotic Healing
The use of regenerative medicine in colorectal surgery constitutes an entirely new therapeutic principle. The aim of this new therapeutic approach is to reduce the anastomotic leak rate and minimise morbidity and mortality. The literature identifies the leak rate for colorectal operations as 3-39%.
An Observational Study on Sarilumab-exposed Pregnancies
Primary Objective: To evaluate the relative risk of major structural birth defects, specifically a pattern of anomalies, in sarilumab-exposed pregnancies compared to disease-matched unexposed pregnancies. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the risk for sarilumab-exposure relative to the group of healthy pregnant women, and the effect of exposure on other adverse pregnancy …
Lung Transplantation for Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis
This retrospective observational study will evaluate the outcomes of lung transplantation for a rare cause of interstitial lung disease called pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis. Data will be collected from all transplantation center in France.
