Filter by:This study aims to investigate whether Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) improves rheo-erythrocrine dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity recovery among community-living stroke survivors across Canada.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a peptide of 28 amino acid residues that belongs to the glucagon/secretin superfamily of peptides. Along with other neuropeptides, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), it is released from the trigeminal afferents and exerts a strong vasodilating activity on the cranial vasculature. Especially, it shares 70% structure with PACAP and acts on the same receptors. But, unlike it, VIP cannot induce a long-lasting vasodilation and has a modest capability to induce migraine attacks. Whether it may induce migraine-like attacks in migraine patients, as a twenty-minute infusion of PACAP, is unknown.
This study will examine the feasibility and effect of a program that combines exercise and feedback from a wearable device on upper limb movement practice and function in individuals with stroke.
To investigate the glutaminergic system in the onset of migraine-like attacks.
Compare the safety and effectiveness of pRESET to Solitaire in the treatment of stroke related to large vessel occlusion
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and currently has no disease modifying treatments or simple accurate diagnostic tests. The goal of this project is to study how tau (a protein thought to cause AD) is made, transported and cleared in the human body. Better understanding of these processes may lead to improved understanding of AD, earlier diagnosis and a way to evaluate treatment.
To date, no studies seems to compare conventional gait rehabilitation program with end-effector RAGT in subacute stroke patients by analysing the variations of gait kinematics beyond clinical multi prospective outcomes. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of end-effector RAGT in subacute stroke patients in terms of clinical outcomes and gait kinematics, comparing them with conventional gait rehabilitation program.
Central nervous system involvement at diagnosis remains an obstacle to a long-term cure of patients affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The investigators have previously reported that flow cytometry (FCM) is better than conventional cytology (CC) in demonstrating the presence of leukemic cells in the patients'(pts) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), especially in samples with low cell counts. In the framework of the national Campus ALL program aimed at improving the management of adult ALL patients in the context of the GIMEMA protocols, in the present study the investigators retrospectively evaluated the incidence of occult CNS positivity and its impact on outcome in 241 adult pts with newly diagnosed ALL from 13 centers.
Safety and Efficacy Study in pediatric subjects <2 years of age who have undergone Brain or Spine MRI pre and post 0.1 mmol/kg ProHance administration. Imaging conditions will represent those in routine clinical practice. Retrospective enrolment with a prospective blinded read.
