There are about 13446 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Belgium. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The reliability of the Xco endurance test will be assessed in sedentary adults and in overhead athletes. The experimentation will be divided into two sessions. During the sessions, the impact of the test on rotators strength and throwing performance will be explored.
The primary objective of the study is to further describe the general safety and clinical performance of QuiremSpheresTM Holmium-166 Microspheres and QuiremScoutTM Holmium-166 Microspheres in a real-world post-market setting, with specific attention to outcomes per tumor origin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) in participants with CF who are 12 years of age or older.
Minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy is increasingly performed. However, technical challenges and a perceived higher risk of complications has hindered wide adoption of a minimally invasive approach. This is a retrospective comparison of a prospectively kept database. The investigators compared surgical outcomes and survival after laparoscopic (LPD) versus open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD). In order to reduce the effect of bias and confounding, baseline characteristics of both groups were matched using propensity score matching.
The goal of the proposed pilot study is to determine which method can detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined timepoints during endo-CABG. Additionally, the investigators want to examine the influence of mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing endo-CABG.
Retrospective multicenter study analyzing data gathered during the FUTURE study (S59342) to assess the effect of using Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) on measures of diabetes control and quality of life. Of the FUTURE participants, data about the type of insulin the participants used will be gathered. On the basis of these data participants will be divided in two groups (control or investigational). Change in glycemic control and quality of life from before to after the switch to Gla-300 (investigational group) will be compared to the change of glycemic control and quality of life of the FUTURE participants who did not switch to Gla-300 (control group). The FUTURE study was a 24-month during multicenter observational cohort study analyzing data on the use of the Abbott Freestyle Libre in people with diabetes. Data were gathered during standard clinical follow-up, and from questionnaires that were presented to the participants at defined time points.
The overall aim of this project is to investigate if the responsiveness to chronic resistance training is dependent on the muscle typology. In a second aim we will investigate the most optimal training frequency for slow-twitchers and fast-twitchers. For the latter we hypothesize that slow-twitchers might cope better with higher frequencies and higher volumes compared to fast-twitchers. Male and female adult participants (18-45y) will be recruited. The subjects' muscle typology will be non-invasively estimated in the leg muscles by measurement of muscle carnosine using H-MRS. In total 21 subjects (11 slow and 10 fast subjects) will participate. Subjects will be assigned to a whole-body resistance training exercise protocol of 9 weeks in wich arm A and leg A will train 3 times per week and arm B and leg B will train 2 times per week. Before and following the training period, subjects will be subjected to different measurements (fitness level, muscle volume, strength tests, blood sampling, muscle biopsies).
Analgesia in cardiac surgery is historically based on large doses of intravenous opiods. However, this practice is rapidly changing due to "Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)" protocols with proven benefits on morbidity and mortality. Also, the opioid crisis caused by opioid abuse, has changed anaesthesia practice to reduce the use of opioids after surgery. Therefore, perioperative multimodal pain management with regional anaesthesia in minimal invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has gained a lot of interest. Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) is one example of the fascial plane chest wall blocks and aims at achieving complete sensory loss of the anterolateral hemithorax via blockade of the lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracic intercostal nerves (T2-T12). SAPB has already proved its efficacy in thoracic surgery as it reduced pain scores and opioid consumption compared to systemic analgesia in the first 12-24h after surgery. However only few studies investigated the effects of SAPB in minimal invasive cardiac surgery. Therefore the primary aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effects of a superficial SAPB in Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery compared to a control group with standard intravenous opioid analgesia.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of REGN9933 in healthy participants The secondary objectives of the study are to: - Evaluate the effects of single doses of REGN9933 on intrinsic/common pathway coagulation - Evaluate the effects of single doses of REGN9933 on extrinsic/common pathway coagulation - Characterize the drug concentration profiles and pharmacokinetic (PK) following single escalating doses of REGN9933 - Characterize the concentration profiles of total FXI following single escalating doses of REGN9933 - Assess the immunogenicity of single doses of REGN9933
The Hyperventilation Provocation Test (HPTest) associated with end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2) measurement is a diagnostic tool for idiopathic hyperventilation syndrome (HVS). However, interpretation of HPTest remains unclear regarding the relevant PETCO2 values to consider and the occurrence of subjective symptoms. This case-control study aims to identify accurate HPTest measurements for the diagnosis of HVS, regardless of symptoms occurrence.
