Nephrology and IgA nephropathy
Research activity includes idiopathic IgA nephropathy with attention to proteinuria, haematuria, and corticosteroid-resistant disease in adult participants.
- Renal inflammation
- Urinary protein loss
- Haematuria
The sponsor’s work in this area is focused on clinically relevant kidney outcomes linked to disease activity and renal function.
Obesity and bariatric surgery
Clinical research in obesity centers on robotic bariatric surgery and perioperative care, with interest in postoperative nausea and vomiting and opioid-free anesthesia.
- Robotic bariatric procedures
- Perioperative nausea and vomiting
- Opioid-free anesthesia
These studies reflect a therapeutic focus on surgical management in patients with excess body weight.
Postoperative pain and anesthesia
Work in lumbar arthrodesis examines post-operative analgesia, including plane block techniques and wound infiltration for pain control after surgery.
- Post-operative analgesia
- Regional anesthesia
- Spine surgery pain management
Additional interest lies in reducing morphine consumption and improving comfort in the immediate postoperative setting.
Obstructive sleep apnea in older adults
Research also addresses obstructive sleep apnea in older adults with overweight or obesity, with outcomes centered on changes in OSA severity.
- Sleep-disordered breathing
- Older adults
- Weight-related respiratory disease
The sponsor’s clinical interests in this field connect respiratory health with metabolic and age-related factors.
