All clinical trials

This study will be a retrospective, observational analysis study of ventilator patients in the Medical Surgical Intensive Care unit being monitored via automated near real-time ventilator analytical software.

The number of arthroplasties is expected to grow in the next few years. Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is a primary cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) with serious consequences. This microorganism is frequently associated with treatment failure, hospitalizations and need of prosthesis removal, leading to an important morbidity and an increase in healthcare costs. ARTHR-IS is a retrospective multi-center study which aims to estimate the burden of SA-PJI after a hip or knee arthroplasty and their risk factors. Other objectives are to quantify the costs, the number of hospitalizations and the surgical procedures needed to treat and control the infection and finally the factors influencing therapeutic failure. Through a case-control design, ARTHR-IS will group 20 hospitals across 5 European countries in order to include 150 cases and 450 controls. The results of this study will provide critical information to develop strategies to prevent and treat SA-PJI and reduce treatment failures. Also, the results from ARTH-IS study will help in the design of future clinical trials in prosthesis infections by providing reliable estimates on the incidence of SA-PJI and the subsequent burden on health care services.

Study is to evaluate the Chymase Angiotensin-(1-12) in cardiovascular disease

A prospective study assessing the use of external cephalic version for the management of breech presentation in pregnancy.

An early diagnosis of congenital malformations and suspected genetic conditions in critically ill infants is essential to perform specific adapted care, prevention, and give proper genetic counseling. However, etiologies are various and each of them is individually very rare. Thanks to next-generation sequencing technologies, diagnosis time frames have drastically decreased and the investigators have observed an increase in diagnosis yields. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of fast trio exome sequencing (less than 16 days between informed consent signature and the consultation for results to the parents) in infants under the age of 12 months hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Laboratory based study in which novel tissue oxygenation probe with the potential provide novel means for assessing response to cancer treatment will be developed and validated.

Focus of this project is to evaluate the possible financial benefit resulting from an optimization of surgical outcomes throughout a collaborative and systematic auditing activity.The primary objective of this analysis is to assess the employed resources by National Health System related to surgical activities for primary colorectal cancer during a collaborative and systematic auditing activity in 8 Surgical Units of Emilia-Romagna

The investigators aim to evaluate the possibility of clinical application of ctDNA detection in peripheral blood of normal people, benign breast disease patients and breast cancer patients, so as to act as the new techniques or indicators of early screening of breast cancer.

This small study will investigate the feasibility of using multi-parametric MRI to introduce and support adaptive radiotherapy treatments for high-risk prostate cancer.

It is a study of translational research with mechanistically objectives and including biological samples of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders
