Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a hereditary disease of bone metabolism that is not yet curable. Clinical phenotype is variable and reaches from demineralization of bone, deformation of the skeleton, microsomia and gait abnormality to breathing difficulties. Symptoms of the adult form are low-traumatic
The primary aims of the pilot study are to streamline the infrastructure, machinery, and clinical experience with the balloon before the start of the randomized trial. The inclusion and exclusion criteria, and measurement points will be similar for the two studies.
The primary endpoints of the pilot
1. Current Knowledge and Rationale Gastro-esophageal (GE) cancers are a highly aggressive disease and are one of the major causes of cancer-related death in the world. Despite improvements in surgical and radiation techniques and the availability of newer agents, the prognosis of recurrent GE
Charcot's neuroarthropathy has been identified since 1883, yet we have much to learn about the pathophysiology and evidence based treatment options. Active CNO is characterised by repetitive trauma leading to inflammation in an insensate foot. This includes polypeptide receptor activator of nuclear

Introduction This study will evaluate the effect on glucose, lipid and bone metabolism following conservative orthopaedic procedures in patients who suffered from acute Achilles tendon rupture. The sedentary rehabilitation period following these procedures may impact negatively upon glucose, lipid
The interesting material properties, such as good mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, low density, porosity adaptable, are closely associated to the intrinsic characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), of which BP is made . The high surface development of CNT, in addition to promoting
The Buckypaper (BP) is an innovative material that has attracted the attention of many research groups engaged in the study of its possible applications in various technological fields preliminary to human experimentation. In fact the experimentation, preliminary conducted on animal model, will be
