Management of Sleeve Gastrectomy Failure Using Single-anastomosis Metabolic Surgery
Recruiting
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most commonly performed weight loss surgery, accounting for 60% of all bariatric operations worldwide. While technically easier with less side-effects and nutritional risks than other operations, SG is also associated with a higher risk of failure (20 to 40%). In such case, the most effective option consists in adding an intestinal bypass called the Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS). This surgery is, however, technically challenging an... Read More

Increased Early Pain Relief by Adding Vertebroplasty to SBRT
Recruiting
The goal of treating metastases is to preserve stability and neurological function while reducing pain. The actual standard of care is stereotaxic body radiation therapy (SBRT) alone in non-surgical patients. The added value of vertebroplasty to SBRT is not well documented in the literature, nor whether performing vertebroplasty before radiotherapy treatment leads to a reduction in the rate of fractures and post-SBRT pain.

MiECC Versus Conventional Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery (MiECS)
Recruiting
MiECS is one of the largest multicentre randomised controlled trials on extracorporeal circulation conducted under the auspices of Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Technologies International Society (MiECTiS). It is designed to ultimately address the emerging effectiveness of MiECC systems in the light of modern perfusion practice worldwide. The primary hypothesis is that MiECC, as compared to conventional CPB (cCPB), reduces the proportion of patients experiencing serious perfusion-related posto... Read More

Effectiveness of Empagliflozin Added to Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Systems in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes With Sub-optimal Glycemic Outcomes
Recruiting
The goal of this 26-week multicenter, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of empagliflozin use in conjunction with automated insulin delivery (AID) to improve glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes who do not meet target recommendations for time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L). The main question it aims to answer is: - Will use of empagliflozin (2.5 mg/day) increase time spent in the target range of 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L compared to placebo for indiv... Read More

Quantitative Sensory Testing and Central Sensitization in Endometriosis
Recruiting
Endometriosis is a gynecologic condition where there is growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to severe pelvic pain. Despite conventional treatment, many patients experience persistent pelvic pain due to central sensitization (CS), where the central nervous system amplifies pain signals. Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) enables objective testing of CS. However, there are several patient-reported questionnaires that have shown promising potential as subjective proxies of...

Slim Sheath 22F Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) vs 26 F Sheath HoLEP for BPH: RCT
Recruiting
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is routinely performed with 24F, 26F, and 28F laser scopes. Proponents of larger caliber scopes suggest that the larger scope size allows for improved visualization, hemostasis, and operative efficiencies. Proponents of a smaller scope diameter suggest that by eliminating the need for pre-HoLEP urethral dilation to accommodate a larger scope. It has also been proposed that a smaller caliber scope is less traumatic to the urethra resulting in lowe... Read More

Brexpiprazole Treatment for Bipolar I Depression
Recruiting
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a frequent and lifelong recurrent mood disorder with treatment-resistant depressive episodes. Importantly, depressive symptoms and cognitive decline are major determinants of functionality and quality of life in this clinical population. There is robust evidence that individuals with BD have neurocognitive deficits (especially in memory and executive functioning domains) compared to the healthy population. These deficits are present in all mood states and can greatly aff... Read More
