Filter by:This study will investigate the use of a drug called Gastrografin to aid in bowel mobility for paediatric patients who have undergone gastroschisis surgery. Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall birth defect where the bowel protrudes through a small opening beside the umbilicus. In these patients, the bowel is often less mobile due to its exposure outside of the body during fetal development. It is common for the bowel to be swollen and matted, which decreases motility and makes it increasingly difficult for the baby to have normal bowel function. Administering Gastrografin facilitates the entry of water into the intestines and bowel, which is thought to aid in bowel function and motility. This study will compare gastroschisis patients who received Gastrografin to gastroschisis patients collected as part of an ongoing observational study at our centre who did not receive Gastrografin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new inhaler, Bevespi improves lung function. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using inhaled hyperpolarized 129Xe gas, that can provide useful images of the functioning of the lung will be used as a new measure to determine change in function. The investigator anticipate these images will provide more specific information about lung disease than standard lung function tests in response to treatment.
This study aims to assess the feasibility to perform a fetoscopic prenatal repair of an open neural tube defect, and secondly to assess the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes.
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose, sequential-group Phase 1 study. The study will be conducted utilizing a cohort design, with sequential groups of 8 subjects. Within each dose cohort, 6 subjects will be randomized to active, and 2 will be randomized to placebo.
In the stage of randomized controlled study, our purpose is to obtain the Intraoperative anticoagulation program supported by evidence-based medicine.
In the stage of registration study, our purpose is to find out the safety range of activated coagulation time level in cerebral aneurysm and arteriovenous malformations with hybrid operation.
This study intends to investigate the changes in gait pattern in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients with sagittal imbalance. It will investigate the gait kinematics in patients who have a mismatch of their spinopelvic parameters, and a positive sagittal balance. The investigators hypothesise that patients with abnormal spinopelvic parameters may demonstrate a pathological gait pattern.
The aim of this study is to compare the value of multifrequency tympanometry between patients with surgical indication of treatment for a Chiari type I malformation and healthy volunteers.
Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short periods of time during dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall of blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. It is not clear whether repetitive periods of pacing are harmless for the patient. Silent cardiac and cerebral infarcts may be undetected. The investigator will study the safety of RVP, particularly for the heart and the brain, retrograde by studying troponin levels and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.
This study aims to explore if objective brain responses to speech stimuli (words and running speech) can be used to evaluate hearing aid fitting in adults. Objective brain responses would be beneficial, as they could be used to evaluate hearing with people who are incapable or unwilling to provide subjective responses. The study aims to determine if EEG responses to speech sounds are sensitive to the effects of hearing aids for hearing aid users. Secondary, the study will look into the need for using speech stimuli in order to obtain more robust responses compared to current clinical standards.
