Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at several selected points between two types of navigation will be measured and analyzed.
The fetal CNS screening examination during the mid-trimester scan in low-risk pregnancies should include evaluation of the fetal head and spine, using transabdominal sonography. Evaluation of two axial planes allows visualization of the relevant cerebral structures to assess the anatomic integrity of the fetal brain.These planes are commonly referred to as the transventricular and transcerebellar planes. A third plane, the so-called transthalamic plane, is frequently added, mostly for the purpose of biometry. Structures that should be noted in the routine examination include the lateral ventricles, the cerebellum, the cisterna magna, and the cavum septi pellucidi (CSP). Head shape and brain texture should also be noted on these views.
3D modeling associated with the tracking of nerve fibers meets the needs of preoperative planning for tumors and cervico-facial congenital malformations. Indeed, these lesions are closely related to the cranial nerves and in particular nerve V (infratemporal fossa), nerve VII (temporal bone, parotido-masseter region), nerves IX, X, XI, XII and the chain cervical sympathetic (infratemporal and cervical regions). The development of a model of this region will therefore improve the surgical management of these children.
The subjects of this study are patients with non-load-bearing bone defects of the extremities who need bone grafting surgery. The patients was treated with bone graft using magnesium containing biodegradable polymer bone repair material produced by Shenzhen Zhongke Jingcheng Medical Technology Co., Ltd.. Three follow-up visits were performed at the 12th, 24th and 36th weeks after bone grafting, the clinical role for bone will be assessed.
Current advances in the three-dimensional virtual surgical planning (3D-VSP) of the orthognathic surgery have brought newer insights, enormous benefits and have become an indispensable aid for diagnosis, treatment planning and outcome assessment especially in the management of dentofacial deformities. The extent to which the planned surgical outcome could be achieved is dependent on the surgeon's ability to accurately transfer the planned movements to the real surgical field. Accurate repositioning of the maxilla after Le-fort I osteotomy is of utmost importance for an esthetic and functional purposes. The goal of this interventional study is to compare the 3D photogrammetry technique versus the commercial scanners for accurate repositioning of maxillary segment after le-fort I osteotomy using the reverse engineering technology. The main question it aims to answer; Is the utilization of the 3D Photogrammetry technique affect the accuracy of maxillary segment repositioning after le-fort I osteotomy compared with the commercial scanners?
The research background of this study is that Chiari malformation (CM) is a congenital malformation in the foramen magnum region, often associated with syringomyelia, basilar depression, odontoid dislocation and other craniocervical junction deformities. The traditional surgical method for Chiari malformation with skull basilar depression is simple decompression without fixation, so it cannot effectively maintain the stability of the cervical spine and reduce the compression of the brainstem and cervical cord, often resulting in poor curative effect and aggravated symptoms. The cervical spine is the most flexible and most mobile part of the spine, and the instability of the cervical spine will directly affect the quality of life of patients after surgery. Subsequently, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development and improvement of surgical methods, Investigators can relieve spinal cord compression by using atlanto-occipital decompression and dissection followed by C1/2 lateral arthrolysis combined with occipitocervical fusion. So, is this surgical combination the most effective surgery for patients with Chiari malformation and type II skull basilar depression? How should doctors adjust to the best surgical approach to treat patients with Chiari malformation and type II skull basilar depression? These questions have long puzzled neurosurgeons. By conducting this research, investigators hope that participants can participate in it, and work with them to answer this question, and jointly promote the development and progress of doctors' careers, while benefiting more patients.
In this study, The investigators aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical hyaluronic acid nanoparticles as a novel nanodermatological tool in periocular rejuvenation as a replacement approach of invasive dermal filler injections.
Congenital anomalies (CA) are the most encountered cause of fetal death, infant mortality and morbidity.7.9 million infants are born with CA yearly. Early detection of CA facilitates life-saving treatments and stops the progression of disabilities. CA can be diagnosed prenatally through Morphology Scan (MS). Discrepancies between pre and postnatal diagnosis of CA reach 29%. A correct interpretation of MS allows a detailed discussion regarding the prognosis with parents. The central feature of PARADISE is the development of a specialized intelligent system that embeds a committee of Deep Learning and Statistical Learning methods, which work together in a competitive/collaborative way to increase the performance of MS examinations by signaling CA. Using preclinical testing and clinical validation, the main goal will be the direct implementation into clinical practice. This multi-disciplinary project offers a unique integration of approaches, competences, breakthroughs in key applications in human, psychological, technological, and economical interest such as the 'smarter' healthcare system, opening new fields of research. PARADISE creates an environment that contributes significantly to the healthcare system, medical and pharma industries, scientific community, economy and ultimately to each individual. Its outcome will increase impact on the management of CA by enabling the establishment of detailed plans before birth, which will decrease morbidity and mortality in infants.
This is a phase II, open-label, prospective study of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for children and adults with hematological malignancies
Background: The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph through the body. Problems in the lymphatic system can cause pain, fluid buildup, and issues with immunity. There is much researchers do not understand about lymphatic anomalies. In this natural history study, they will collect data from a lot of people over a long time. Objective: To better understand why lymphatic anomalies develop. The goal is to improve future treatments. Eligibility: People aged 0 days and older with a suspected or confirmed lymphatic anomaly. Their unaffected parents or siblings aged 7 years or older are also needed. Design: Participants may remain in the study indefinitely. Affected participants may be evaluated every 10 months to 2 years. Some participants will be seen over telemedicine. Others will be seen at the NIH Clinical Center for 2-5 days. All participants will have a physical exam. They may provide specimens including blood, saliva, hair follicles, stool, skin, and other tissues. Samples may be used for genetic testing. Participants may undergo other tests depending on their medical conditions. The NIH Clinical Center visit may include: Heart tests include placing stickers on the chest to measure electrical activity and using sound waves to capture pictures of the heart. A lung test measures the muscle strength in the chest. Participants will blow into a tube. Photographs may be taken of participants faces and other features. Imaging scans will take pictures of the inside of the body. One scan will measure bone density. One type of scan tracks how lymph fluid moves through the body. Participants will be under anesthesia, and they will be injected with a dye.
