The goal of this clinical study is to develop a specialized rehabilitation exercise protocol designed for patients diagnosed with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening, regardless of their choice to undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery. The primary focus is to assess disparities in outcomes, particularly in the recovery of ankle mobility degrees. Additionally, for patients opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, the study aims to evaluate the resumption of both sporting activities and daily routines using the aforementioned specific rehabilitation protocol. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: - How does the proposed rehabilitation protocol impact ankle mobility recovery for patients with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening? - What are the differences observed in the return to sporting activities and daily life among patients undergoing minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, following the prescribed protocol? Participants enrolled in this study will be engaged in: Undertaking the specified rehabilitation exercises tailored for foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening. Those opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery will follow the same rehabilitation protocol post-surgery to assess its impact on their return to normal activities. If there exists a comparison group: Researchers will compare participants who undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery against those who choose other treatment options to discern any differential effects on ankle mobility recovery and resumption of activities.
Treatment of craniofacial deformities is a significant topic in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and autologous fat grafting has become one of the main methods for treating facial concave deformities. However, the instability of its treatment effect has always been a bottleneck in this field, mainly due to the uncertain absorption rate of transplanted fat. This project aims to use advanced the 3dMD face system (3dMD) (3dMD Inc, Atlanta, Ga) technology to precisely measure the facial volume changes before and after autologous fat grafting to address this issue. By performing autologous fat grafting surgery on 100 patients with craniofacial deformities that meet the research criteria, 3dMD technology will be used for facial three-dimensional scanning preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at six months postoperatively to obtain facial volume data. Then, through precise data analysis, we will calculate the fat absorption rate and study the effects of individual factors on treatment outcomes through correlation regression analysis.
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of preoperative aerosol inhalation ICG solution for thoracoscopic accurate resection of congenital lung malformations in children.
The goal of this prospective randomized controlled study is to explore the role of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in management of cystic lymphatic malformation.. To clarify the application value of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in both diagnosis and treatment of cystic lymphatic malformation (cLM) in children, is helpful for exploring pathogenesis of cLM, and providing a clearer scientific basis for subsequent surgical intervention. It also provides alternative for the future diagnosis and treatment of cLM. Participants will receive indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging before operation, while the patients in control group will receive traditional operation. Researchers will compare difference in curative effect between two groups.
The goal of this study is to present the author's thumb orthosis with a butonier deformity and its effect on hand function, strength, dexterity and pain levels in relation to patients wearing factory-made orthopedic supplies. It is planned to include about 60 people in the study (30 people each in the group with thermoplastic orthoses and 30 participants with factory-made orthoses) The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How much improvement in dexterity will the patient wearing the orthosis get? 2. By how much will the grip strength of the whole hand and pincer grip strength improve with the orthosis? 3. How will wearing the orthosis affect the pain associated with the disease? Participants will 1. measurement of grip strength of the right and left hands with a dynamometer in an orthosis and without an orthosis, at the time of the test conducted and at the appointed times. 2. measurement of pincer grip strength with a dynamometer in an orthosis and without an orthosis, at the time of the test conducted and at the designated times. 4. completion of the DASH questionnaire 6. assessment of the NRS pain scale in relation to the period of 6 months before the start of the study 7. Likert scale - evaluation of satisfaction with the use of the orthosis 8. the Kapandji scale Researchers will compare patients with thermoplastic orthosis and patients with fabric orthosis to see which is more functional.
Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are responsible for hemorrhagic strokes, particularly in children and young adults. They can also be responsible for chronic neurological disorders: motor or sensory deficits, disturbances of higher functions, epilepsy or disabling headaches. The management of brain AVMs is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach in an expert center. Available therapies include endovascular embolization, neurosurgical resection and/or radiosurgery. These procedures carry a risk of neurological complications, and are reserved for small AVMs located at a distance from highly functional cerebral structures. To date, no drug therapy is recommended if interventional treatment is not possible. Several studies on resected brain AVM tissue have demonstrated that these malformations are the site of significant evolutionary inflammatory and neo-angiogenesis processes. Other studies have specifically shown that VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) levels are increased in AVMs. More recently, a pre-clinical study showed that anti-angiogenic treatment with Bevacizumab reduced vascular proliferation within AVMs in mice. Finally, a Phase II clinical trial in patients with Rendu-Osler disease (a genetic vascular disorder characterized by recurrent epistaxis, cutaneous telangiectasia and the presence of visceral AVMs) showed a clinical benefit of IV Bevacizumab on the symptomatology of these vascular malformations, with a reduction in the risk of hemorrhage and the extent of hepatic arteriovenous shunts. A randomized Phase III trial is currently underway (NCT03227263) to assess the efficacy of IV Bevacizumab in Rendu-Osler disease. The aim of our study is to assess the efficacy of IV Bevacizumab on the disabling symptoms associated with symptomatic brain AVMs.
The Comprehensive HHT Outcomes Registry of the United States (CHORUS) is an observational registry of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). The purpose of this study is to better understand HHT, the symptoms and complications it causes, and the impact the disease has on people's lives. The investigators will collect long-term information about the participant, allowing us to understand how the disease changes over time, and what factors can influence those changes. Ultimately, this should help improve treatments for the disease. Another important goal of the study is to provide a way to contact people to participate in future clinical trials and other research. The registry will be a centralized resource for recruitment for clinical trials. People in the registry will not be obligated to join any of these additional studies, but if interested, can agree to be contacted if they may be eligible for a study. Participants will: - Be asked to provide permission to collect information from their medical records, including things like demographic information, diagnosis information, family history, test results, treatment information, symptoms, complications, lifestyle and other relevant medical information. - Be asked study-related questions by phone or at a clinic visit. - Be asked study-related questions every year after enrollment for up to 10 years or until the study ends. A member of the study team will communicate with participants by phone or at clinic visits to collect information regarding any changes to their health over the previous year/s including new test results, treatment information, symptoms, and complications from HHT.
