Platelet Function in Patients Undergoing PCI
All PCI PatientsThe purpose of this study is to examine PLT function in PCI patients.

Ambulatory Measurements of Physiological Parameters
Non Invasive Test of Pulse and Oxygen SaturationAmbulatory monitoring of physiological variables is important in following the health status of individuals in non-hospital controlled situations. The investigators are developing a non-invasive sensor based on dynamic light scattering that is able to measure pulse, blood flow and coagulability. Oxygen saturation can also be detected with minor modification of the apparatus. The investigators plan to validate the investigators sensor by applying it to patients in the intensive care unit, or to patients undergoing cardiac stress tests. The results of the investigators sensor will not be utilized for any therapeutic decisions, but will be collected for later comparison with conventional monitoring of pulse and oxygenation with standard monitors. The monitor is worn like a wrist watch, and will collect data into a small data storage disc for later analysis.

Outcomes After Perforator Flap Reconstruction for Breast Reconstruction and/or Lymphedema Treatment...
Breast CancerHereditary Breast/Ovarian Cancer (brca13 moreThe goal of this prospective, observational study is to investigate the clinical, psychosocial, and patient satisfaction outcomes of patients who undergo perforator flap reconstruction for breast reconstruction and/or vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNTx) for the treatment of lymphedema. The investigators hypothesize that (1) perforator flap breast reconstruction will result in excellent clinical, psychosocial, and patient satisfaction outcomes compared to non-perforator flap breast reconstruction; (2) perforator flap breast reconstruction is associated with less persistent postsurgical pain than other forms of breast reconstruction, even after controlling for major cofactors, such as the extent of auxiliary lymph node dissection and the use of radiation therapy; (3) perforator flap reconstruction for the treatment of Lymphedema (i.e., VLNTx ) will result in the reduction of symptoms and complications of lymphedema.

Center for Stroke Research Berlin (CSB) Prospective Stroke Cohort
StrokeThe primary aim of the study is to derive and validate risk scores for vascular endpoints (recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and other complications of stroke) and for death following an incident stroke. For this purpose patients with an incident stroke will be followed for 36 months with additional assessments at 12, 24 and 36 months.

Mental Health Related to School Dropout in Luxembourg
Anxiety DisordersMood Disorders5 moreThis study aims to investigate psychosocial risk- and protective factors such as psychiatric disorder, socio-economic background and family functioning among school dropouts and to compare the findings with those by a matched control group of regularly enrolled students.

Pulse Spectrum Analysis in Adult Asthmatics: Correlation With Lung Function, Asthma Control Exhaled...
Pulse Spectrum AnalysisPulmonary Function2 moreOur hypothesis is that radial arterial pulse may reflect the severity and airway function in asthmatics. The aims of this study are to investigate the pulse spectrim of the radial artery in adult asthmatics, and evaluate its correlation with airy inflammation an lung funtion in asthmatics.

Value of Prothrombin Fragment F1+2 in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients With Chronic...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseasePulmonary EmbolismTo access the clinical usefulness of F1+2 in the diagnosis of PE in patients with AECOPD who require hospitalization. Specifically, to determine whether F1+2 may have an additional value in the subgroup of patients with an abnormal D-dimer,to determine whether it may increase the proportion of patients in whom PE can be safely ruled out and to determine the sensitivity, specificity and NPV of F1+2 at various cut-off values.

Daily Target Guided Radiation Therapy Using the Calypso 4D Localization System in Patients Who Have...
Prostate CancerThis study will evaluate the daily use of a unique daily organ tracking system on target localization in patients treated with radiation therapy after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Improved coverage of the target volume with radiotherapy could result in improved cancer control rates and decreased coverage of surrounding structures potentially decreasing treatment toxicity.
