There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. 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 aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of piezoelectric surgery and traditional rotating device in reducing perioperative sequelae after impacted mandibular third molar surgery in 56 subjects. Ni All subjects were randomly allocated to receive one treatment.
During the most recent pandemy COVID-19, various advises concerning complications following high corticosteroid doses administration were pubblished in 2020. However, evidence is lacking about the incidence of Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in patients experiencing COVID-19. The aim of the present proposal is to obtain a quantitative estimation of ONFH cases among patients previoulsy hospitalized and treated for COVID-19 at ASST-Papa Giovanni XXIII.
Erosive osteoarthritis of the hand (EHOA) is a rare subset of HOA that affects mainly postmenopausal middle-aged women, featured by prominent signs of inflammation, severe progression, and typical radiographic changes of the interphalangeal (IP). It is presently debated whether EHOA is an advanced stage of the classical HOA or a separate entity with peculiar inflammatory features, which can mimic chronic arthritis such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). PsA is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory arthropathy, that affects 14.0-22.7% of patients with psoriasis. It is a highly heterogeneous disease, whose clinical features often vary from peripheral arthritis, to spinal spondylitis, and/or asymmetrical synovitis, enthesitis, dactylitis. As no gold-standard diagnostic test for PsA exists, the diagnosis is based on different patterns of clinical, radiological and serological markers included in the classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR). Some typical features of PsA are also observed in other chronic musculoskeletal diseases, as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and HOA, determining possible delay of the diagnosis and consequent influence on the successful results of the therapies. In particular, the differential diagnosis of PsA and EHOA is very challenging, considering that both conditions can be characterized by bone proliferation and inflammation processes in the distal IP joints and lack of specific diagnostic biomarkers. In the last decade, microRNA (miRNA) are emerged as possible candidate biomarkers in different rheumatic diseases. They are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules implicated in the direct regulation of the expression of different target genes by repressing or inhibiting translation. Mature miRNA are produced inside the cell and exert their function in the cytoplasm, but also by being released into the circulation and body fluids, where they regulate both physiological and pathological processes. Specific profiles of miRNA have been associated with the up-regulation of several inflammatory cytokines or degrading enzymes involved in the pathogenesis of PsA or OA. Indeed, miRNA have been detected in human plasma and in synovial fluid from patients with PsA and are considered possible diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of this disease; very recently a pattern of circulating miRNAs has been studied also in patients with HOA. IThe aim of the present study is to test whether miRNA can help to differentiate EHOA from PsA. In detail, the investigators evaluate the expression profile of a series of miRNA (miR-21, miR-140, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-223, miR-23a, miR-26a and miR-let-7e), known to be dysregulated in PsA and OA, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with EHOA and PsA and in comparison to a group of healthy controls (HC). Furthermore, the investigators assess the potential correlation between miRNA expression and disease activity.
This is a single-center, retrospective case-control study. All consecutive women who underwent classic and nerve-sparing segmental rectosigmoid resection between January 2005 and June 2022 will be included. In the majority of cases classic segmental rectosigmoid resection was done between January 2005 and December 2010. Nerve-sparing segmental rectosigmoid resection has been increasingly employed since January 2011 until now. Preoperative (anamnestic, physical objective, and ultrasonographic data), surgical and postoperative data of the patients included in this study will be analyzed. In particular, postoperative data will be obtained by analyzing reports of follow-up visits, which are routinely done at our institution at 1, 6, 12 months and then every year following the surgical procedures.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of study participants with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) to successfully self-administer rozanolixizumab after training in the self-administration technique using the syringe driver and manual push methods.
Aim of this trial is to define if Trend of Four (TOF) values after a bolus of rocuronium is correlated with Bispectral Index BIS values during standard general anaesthesia for breast surgery.
This prospective validation study aims to investigate the incidence of PPAP after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) by applying the ISGPS definition and grading system, to demonstrate its clinical impact by examining associated postoperative outcomes, and to validate its applicability through an economic assessment.
