Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The purpose of this trial is to define knee joint pathomechanics (KJPM) in the first 2 years after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and relate these KJPM with changes in articular cartilage morphology and quality.
Prospective, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Endovascular Treatment in Patients With Cerebral Aneurysms Using P64 and P48 Flow-Diverter Stents
The use of flow-diverting stents for the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms has proven to be effective and efficient in several clinical studies, leading to its widespread adoption. Devices with a higher number of filaments have a greater flow-diverting effect and less variation when there are changes in the caliber …

Correlation of Serum Gasdermin-D and NLRP-3 Inflammasome Levels With GVHD Biomarkers and Endothelial Damage Markers in Graft-Versus-Host Disease
The investigators aimed to reveal the relationship between serum markers of pyroptosis, GVHD biomarkers and endothelial damage markers in patients who were planned for allogeneic stem cell transplantation for AML and developed GVHD during follow-up. Secondary outcomes of the study were to demonstrate the role of pyroptosis in the pathophysiology …
