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 investigators study different modality to obtain nerve evoked reponses. They use different parameters of acquisition and stimulation and they compare amplitude and latency of nerve conduction response
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the presence of predictors (single characteristics at the baseline and / or a combination of two or more parameters) useful for predicting the development of Drug-Induced liver Injury (DILI) during treatment with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKI) with the possibility of obtaining a pre-treatment prognostic score that can assist the clinician in pre-therapy decision making.
In 2022, Italy is estimated to have 48,100 cases of colon-rectum cancer. Locally advanced mid-lower rectal cancers require preoperative chemo-radiotherapy with fluoropyrimidine. The diagnosis and treatment of rectal cancer have a significant impact on patients' well-being, causing physical and psychological distress. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, are commonly reported. While distress levels have been examined before, the relationship between other aspects of the patient experience, such as psychosocial factors, stigma, temperament and personality, alexithymia, have not been extensively explored. Colorectal cancer is associated with specific socially stigmatized challenges. Stigmatization is defined as societal identification of an individual as abnormal and worthy of separation, leading to discrimination and loss of social status. Rectal cancer patients may perceive high levels of stigma and blame due to factors such as defecation-related symptoms, colonoscopy or rectal examinations, physical limitations, loss of work ability and the use of colostomy or ileostomy. Anal cancer, although traditionally surrounded by social stigma, is gaining awareness worldwide due to increasing diagnoses. In other forms of cancer, stigma has been linked to personality traits. Given the characteristics related to the illness and the profile of rectal and anal cancer patients, it is important to assess the psychological traits and psychological resources, also in order to establish tailored psychological pathways during the disease trajectory that comprehend chemoradiations and possible subsequent surgery. Currently, there is no documented data on the relationship between stigma, and psychological profiles in rectal and anal cancer patients. Aim of this protocol is to evaluate the stigma, and psychopathological profile in rectal and anal cancer patients and to evaluate changes in those variables over time.
The aims of the study are to prospectively collect information on several aspects of function in non-ambulant DMD patients by using a structured battery of tests including motor, respiratory and cardiac function
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence rate and severity of pre-specified mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV)-related ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and assess prophylaxis strategies in all participants (symptomatic and asymptomatic) undergoing prospective ophthalmic evaluation with recurrent ovarian cancer (participants with either platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer [PSOC] or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer [PROC]) with high folate receptor alpha (FRĪ±) expression.
The increase in childhood obesity is a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by dietary patterns, commercial factors, and social determinants; it has long-term consequences for both individual health and society as a whole. Despite recommendations for maintaining good health throughout life and promoting the Mediterranean Diet, due to the increased availability of ultra-processed and more appealing foods, children and adolescents are shifting towards a "Western" diet. One in four children consumes sugary and carbonated drinks every day, which contributes to a high intake of fructose in the diet, while fruits and vegetables are consumed less, and legumes are included in the diet of only 38% of children less than once a week. Fructose is a monosaccharide naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and honey; due to its high sweetness and taste-enhancing properties, fructose is widely used in the food industry. High-fructose corn syrup, in particular, is one of the most widely used ingredients in the production of soft drinks, jams, breakfast cereals, and bakery products. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now also called metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and currently represents the most common chronic liver disease in pediatric age in Western countries. Recent studies suggest that fructose consumption is implicated in the development of NAFLD both directly by providing metabolites that can be used for triglyceride and free fatty acid synthesis, and indirectly through increased uric acid production. High-fructose foods also appear to be a risk factor for bone loss. Numerous studies conducted over the past 25 years, during which fructose consumption has exponentially increased, have shown that this sweetener tends to increase the incidence of fractures and osteoarthritis and decrease bone mineral density (BMD) and new bone tissue deposition. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of fructose on the molecular events that contribute to the evolution of the pediatric age, and its effective relationship with the onset of liver and osteoarticular complications in this population. Understanding the mechanisms of fructose regulation and its effects on the body could be an important target to address the clinical and social problems arising from its spread in children.
Evaluation of DOACs treatment on post-extraction bleeding
A retrospective monocentric observational no-profit study with the aim of evaluating the entity and potential variables influencing the catch-up growth of childhood gluten-free diet patients with celiac disease during a 10-year follow-up. The only extrapolation of the data collected in anonymized form from the medical records of patients who match the necessary study criteria will be planned in order to achieve this aim. A 900-patient sample size will be planned.
My Space aims to identify the ontogenesis of spatial representation through cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in infants, children, and adolescents with typical and atypical development (visual impairments). The results will serve for the design and development of a novel multisensory device for sensorimotor rehabilitation in blind children from the early stages of life.
Radiochemotherapy is the standard treatment for neoplasms of the anal canal with excellent rates of local control and preservation of the anal sphincter. However, patients may experience a deterioration of quality of life related to sequelae of the treatment particularly at intestinal, anal sphincter and sexual level. Few studies to date have documented patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in this area. The aim of this observational study is to verify the quality of life (QOL) of the patients by means of self-completed questionnaires.
