Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the effective of intraoperative use of tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during telescoping nail application in cases of osteogenesis imperfecta.
In the COVID-19 outbreak context, people living with rare diseases have been highly troubled with anxiety, loneliness, and depression. The project evaluates resilience and coping strategies to address pandemic impact by discussion in a dedicated focus group using a web-based platform. The goal is to improve, in a sustainable manner, the coping skills and psychological well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults affected by rare skeletal diseases.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile following multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of romosozumab in children and adolescents with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
The proposed investigation is a pilot study that involves pediatric patients affected by spinal deformity (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Osteogenesis Imperfecta). The main goal is to evaluate the acceptability, the safety and the overall satisfaction of the patients wearing the back braces produced with an innovative methodology using 3D printers, compared to the current braces manufactured with a production model based on thermoforming, that has well-established clinical efficacy.
Brittle bone disease also known as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterised by a defect in the bone tissue that leads to recurrent fractures and significant bone deformities in children. These fractures include vertebral (spinal) fractures. As a result, child with OI require regular clinic surveillance that includes repeated xrays of the spine. in our pilot study the investigators plan to use a thermal imaging camera that can pick up changes in temperature to 0.03 degrees to determine whether the investigators can accurately identify vertebral fractures without the need for radiation. in the first part of the study the investigators will compare the thermal images from the camera with the xrays to see if the investigators can pick up the vertebral fractures seen on the xray picture. If this is possible, then the investigators will move on to phase 2 of the study which will investigate the ability of the thermal camera to pick up vertebral fractures without prior knowledge of where the fractures are located. If this approach is successful this will help us to develop a nonradiation, lowcost painless way of identifying vertebral fractures in children with OI.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder of increased bone fragility and low bone mass. It is conceivable that children and adolescents with OI are less active than healthy peers because of frequent fractures, immobilization,functionals limitations and no adapted physicals activity(APA). The hypothesis is that an Adapted physique activity could improve access of activity for patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The aim of the study is to evaluate benefice of APA,improve aerobic capacity, cardiovascular and bone benefits, and gain of quality of life. Children with OI between 6 and 18 years old will have a program of supervised "adapted training program" during one year. The program is adapted at each individual and without risk for the patient.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous group of rare connective tissue hereditary diseases responsible for fragility and bone deformity. OI is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation of COL1A1 or COL1A2, encoding α1 and α2 of the collagen, regardless of their phenotypic severity (1 to 5 OI type). This observation suggests the existence of a undetermined mechanism that may be found in epigenetic regulation, including particularly micro Ribonucleic Acids (miRs). Indeed, these small non-coding miRs are involved in the regulation of major steps of cellular processes in different pathologies, especially in bone disease. Currently, no study can provide a satisfactory answer. This is an etiologic study to reveal the correlation between micro-RNAs (miR) expression and the type I or III of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The aim of this study is therefore to identify miRs significantly associated with the severity of OI.
BACKGROUND: In several bone disorders, adequate calcium intake is a coadjuvant intervention to regular treatment. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a collagen disorder with a range of symptoms, ranging from fractures to minimum trauma, and is typically treated with bisphosphonates. This study aims evaluate the impact of a nutritional intervention (NI) on dietary calcium intake, bone mineral density (BMD)in pediatric patients with OI. METHODS: Interventional cohort study was designed with a NI. Dietary calcium intake, anthropometry and clinical feature was assessed at baseline including anthropometry, basal metabolic rate (BMR), BMD, Food guidance form was developed and sent to patients by mail. After 12 months, patients' clinical features were reassessed and compared with baseline data. RESULTS: Fifty-two children and adolescents were enrolled. A significant increase in total calcium intake (g), the percentage of adequate calcium intake (%), number of cups of milk ingested, were observed after NI. Was detected a positive correlation between the variation of BMD and milk consumption in patients treated with bisphosphonate. CONCLUSION: Was observed an increase in calcium intake in patients with OI. This finding demonstrates the importance of nutrition therapy as part of a multidisciplinary treatment approach for bone health.
Background: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder. OI affects many aspects of a person s health and growth. It can cause frequent fractures, short stature, and bowing of the long bones. There is no known cure for OI so researchers want to learn more about it. Objectives: To obtain a natural history of the course of OI. To find changes in genes that affect the disease. Eligibility: People from birth to age 12 years with certain types of OI People who previously had childhood data collected in certain other protocols Design: Participants will stay in the clinic for a few days each visit. Visits will be about every 3-4 months to age 5 then about every 6-12 months. Visits may include: Medical history Physical exam Hearing test Dental exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Breathing measured while wearing a clear plastic hood for about 30 minutes Tests of motion, strength, and motor skills X-rays of the left hand, chest, legs, and spine Bone density scan. Participants will lie on a flat table while a very small dose of x-rays is passed through the body. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Participants will lie on an exam table that moves in and out a scanner. Breathing tests using stickers on the chest, a light probe on a finger or foot, and a face mask Ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder Questionnaires A small section of skin removed from the arm or thigh For some tests, participants may take medicine to make them sleepy. Participants may give separate consent for photos to be taken.
The coming out of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, with documented advantages and reduced costs respect to Sanger sequencing, has provided new appealing approaches to diagnostic testing. Despite this, its use for routine diagnostic purposes requires certification in terms of reliability, as well as a cost-effectiveness evaluation. To test the feasibility of using the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) in clinical diagnosis, we assessed its performance to detect point mutations and big rearrangements previously identified with standard techniques. The diagnostic accuracy and the cost-effectiveness will be evaluated by Health Technology Assessment (HTA) analyses.
