Filter by:The aim of the present study is to retrospectively investigate whether arthroscopic treatment in patients with TMD symptoms depending on internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) gives a satisfying result on the patient's quality of life. Based on previous studies it is hypothesized that patients suffering from TMD depending on internal derangement would through Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) evaluate the treatment efficacy from an arthroscopic treatment as a benefit to their quality of life. Further, the study intends to find out if the patient reported outcome measures (PROM) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome correlates with clinical follow-up measures after arthroscopic treatment of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint. The primary objective is to measure the correlation between the results from a HRQoL questionnaire and mouth opening. Secondary, the effect of mouth opening on HRQoL is being explored. The primary prediction variable is the surgical treatment. Outcome variables are treatment evaluation quality of life (PROM) based on a validated questionnaire; Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS), age, gender, time from diagnosis to treatment, severity of symptoms (pain, mouth opening ability) and time from treatment to evaluation.
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, need to be regularly interrogated and reprogrammed to ensure proper functioning. While remote monitoring allows for partial interrogation at a remote location, full interrogation and changing the CIED parameters is only possible when the patient visits a cardiologist capable of performing device programming. This can be challenging for patients and may cause unnecessary delays, particularly in settings of limited resources, enforced physical distancing, and quarantines. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of remote programming.

Spanish registry of resorbable stent implantation in biliary benign strictures. This registry is sponsored by the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SERVEI) and conducted by the Research Group GITMI (Group of Research in Minimally Invasive Techniques) of the University of Zaragoza (Spain). A software tool hosted on the official website of SERVEI and the journal Intervencionismo will be used for data collection a(https://estudios.watsoncme.com).
