Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the somatosensory phenotype, assessed by quantitative sensory testing (QST) and Information obtained by questionnaires to detect risk factors for neuropathic pain development and chronification in painless and chronic pain patients.

Concurrent treatment of endometrial cancer and SUI may improve QOL, emotional and physical health and decrease costs for both patients and the health care system. At the time of endometrial cancer diagnosis, not only are women evaluated by a gynecologist and/or a gynecologic oncologist, but the majority will undergo surgery within weeks of their diagnosis. Thus, urinary incontinence could easily be identified, a referral made, and concurrent surgery performed. This would spare the patient two surgeries, decrease the emotional distress associated with SUI symptoms, decrease the costs associated with SUI for the patient and possibly improve overall quality of life. The proposed study will compare the quality of life and clinical outcomes among women with endometrial cancer and SUI that have concurrent surgery to women that do not have concurrent surgery. The findings of our proposed research will provide valuable information necessary for woman and clinicians to make decisions regarding the treatment of SUI, including evidence regarding the risks and benefits of performing concurrent endometrial cancer and SUI surgery.

Investigators aimed to investigate whether there is an association between ovulation and salivatory alpha amylase (sAA) activity in menstrual cycles during a month period in a group of reproductive women.

"electronic nose"- the tiny sensors, will smell and detect the changes in the sample of abnormal fetal karyotype, and fluid that will be confirmed by amniocentesis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate early fixation and stability of the Tritanium cup. It is expected that the Tritanium® cup will be equal to or better than conventional cementless cups in early fixation/stability and meet the expectations of Japanese surgeons.

The physiologic basis for relief from dyspnea after therapeutic thoracentesis remains poorly understood. Improvement of the heart and lung function may contribute to the dyspnea relief. But there is no data support this phenomenon. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is a non-invasive viewing of the heart, which can quickly assess the heart function through real-time images. The investigators performed thoracentesis on patients with large-volume pleural effusions, and utilized TTE to access the change of heart and lung function before and after this medical procedure.

The purpose of this study is to explore the ability of integrated MRI/PET to detect and evaluate treatment outcome in HCC patients.

the study aims to evaluate the role of airway ultrasound as a new evolving modality in assessment and management of airway in surgical patients

Investigators are interested to explore the clinical and pathological characteristics of breast cancer with pregnancy, maternal age at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer during pregnancy, median gestational age at diagnosis, the level of the tumor differentiation patients present with, during pregnancy, and the hormonal-receptor status. Investigators plan to collect prospective quality research databases that could provide further important information concerning this condition and serve in both short- and long-term sequelae in mother and fetus.

In this observational study patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) will be screened for sleep apnea (SA) to investigate if SA is associated with impaired blood pressure control and worse clinical outcome early after SAH.
