This is a prospective, single center, multiple arm cohort study intended to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a Visual Saline Infusion Device (VSI) device, vs standard of care Hydrosonography in reproductive aged women to identify pathology in the uterus.
After orthopedic surgeries like knee or hip replacement, some patients struggle to fully activate their muscles due to a condition called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI). AMI can slow recovery and make physical therapy less effective. This clinical trial is testing whether a special type of brain training-called neurofeedback visualization training-can help improve muscle activation and speed up recovery. In this study, patients will receive standard physical therapy after surgery. Half of them will also use a device that helps them "visualize" exercises while wearing a cap that reads brain signals (EEG). The cap tracks brain activity when patients imagine doing specific movements. A computer then shows a virtual avatar performing the movements, giving feedback in real time-like a video game controlled by the brain. The study includes patients recovering from one of four surgeries: 1. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 2. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) 3. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) 4. Hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) The goal is to see if this training improves muscle strength, movement, and daily function more than standard therapy alone. The study will take place at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and enroll 240 adults, with 60 patients per type of surgery. Each participant will be followed for up to 6 months after surgery and complete strength tests, movement assessments, and questionnaires about their recovery. The hope is that combining brain training with physical therapy will lead to faster, more complete recoveries and improve how patients move after surgery.
Imaging will be exploratory and be used intraoperatively. There have been no discovered risks associated with the device to be used in this study, and none are anticipated given the diagnostic and non-invasive, 'ex vivo' nature of device use. Of note, the surgical resection will proceed as per standard of care and will not be affected by the research protocol. Potential Benefit: Imaging intra-operatively will ensure surgeons to identify at risk resection margins. Time Commitment: There are no additional visits that will be asked of you to partake in this study. Drug is FDA approved and Exposure to Radiation is minimal.
The goal of this study is to visualize the deposition of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) compared to vehicle using Line-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in vivo in healthy skin. We hypothesize that the application of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) will result in distinct patterns of deposition within the epidermal and dermal layers compared to the vehicle. Specifically, we anticipate observing deeper penetration and more uniform distribution of roflumilast within the skin layers, indicative of enhanced efficacy, as visualized by LC-OCT imaging.
Pediatric subjects aged 6-17 with biopsy confirmed cancer and imaging findings suspicious for pulmonary metastatic disease scheduled to undergo pulmonary metastasectomy via and open or minimally invasive approach.
A feasibility study to evaluate the usability of the REVEAL 475 system in patients treated with bevonescein for nerve visualization during surgery.
Demonstrate superiority of the Aspero Medical Ancora-SB balloon Overtube compared to the Olympus ST-SB1 Balloon Overtube.
This Phase 3 study is designed to investigate the safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical usefulness of Gleolan for the real-time detection and visualization of epithelial ovarian cancer tumors during debulking surgery. The study is planned to run for about 18 months with individual study participation lasting about two (2) weeks.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from the laparoscopic camera. Surgeons will be asked to audibly state when they identify structures and enter different phases of the surgical procedure. The AI will not alter the surgeon's view or be visible to the surgeon, and the surgeon will perform the procedure in the exact same fashion as they typically do.
ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver objective real-time tissue perfusion and blood flow information intraoperatively. Primary Objective: To determine the feasibility of ActivSight™ in detecting and displaying tissue perfusion and blood flow in the conduit and foregut anastomoses in esophageal resection/reconstructive surgery. The investigators will compare the precision and accuracy among the naked eye inspection, ICG and LSCI in assessing the vascularity of the conduit.
