Ortho-PoC will face this issue with a smart and highly innovative diagnostic tool, starting from the point-of-care device for infection diagnosis in the orthopedic field developed and published by the coordinator Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS and one partner Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. Ortho-PoC will further go beyond the state of the art by delivering a point-of-care device based on multiparametric analysis, in easily collected synovial fluids or pus. Several samples will be analysed using Ortho-PoC at three different Hospitals (Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Ospedali Riuniti di Foggia, Azienza Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico Vanvitelli Napoli) and the data will be treated with artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver an AI-assisted robust, effective, and smart diagnostic device for PJI.",[25,26],"PJI","Spondylodiscitis",[28,29,30,31,32],"infections;","orthopedic surgery;","sensor;","PJI,","spondylodiscitis","RECRUITING","2024-10-29",{"date":36,"type":37},"2024-10-30","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":37},"2024-09-01",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-09-01",{"name":43,"class":44},"Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS","OTHER",1,{"id":47,"slug":48,"hasResults":11,"nctId":49,"briefTitle":50,"officialTitle":51,"acronym":52,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":54,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":4,"briefSummary":56,"conditions":57,"keywords":71,"overallStatus":33,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":76,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":77,"startDateStruct":79,"completionDateStruct":81,"leadSponsor":83,"locationsCount":45},"100486132","gene-expression-profiles-in-spinal-tuberculosis-100486132","NCT05610098","Gene Expression Profiles in Spinal Tuberculosis.","Comparing Gene Expression Profiles of Adults With Isolated Spinal TB to Disseminated Spinal TB Identified by 18FDG-PET\u002FCT at Time of Diagnosis, 6-and 12-months Follow-up","SpinalTBX","Inclusion Criteria\n\n1.

Sub-Saharan Africa carries the highest burden of TB. South Africa has one of the highest HIV and TB rates worldwide with an HIV prevalence rate in adults of 19% and a TB case notification rate of 615\u002F100,000 in 2019. Over many years, focus has been paid to pulmonary TB and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) has received only little attention even though it accounts for almost a quatre of all TB cases. The diagnosis of EPTB remains challenging simply because sample collection requires invasive procedures in the absence of a blood-based diagnostic test. Spinal TB (spondylitis or spondylodiscitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis) - often known as Pott's disease - accounts for up to 10% of EPTB and affects young children, people with HIV-coinfection and elderly, and often leads to lifelong debilitating disease due to devastating deformation of the spine and compression of neural structures. Little is known with regards to the extent of disease and isolated TB spine as well as a disseminated form of TB spine have been described. The latter presents with a spinal manifestation plus disseminations to other organs such as the lungs, pleura, lymph nodes, the GIT or urinary tract or even the brain.\n\nIn the Spinal TB X cohort, the investigators aim to describe the clinical phenotype of spinal TB using whole body PET\u002FCT and identify a specific gene expression profile for the different stages of dissemination and compare findings to previously described signatures for latent and active pulmonary TB. A blood-based test for spinal TB would lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment in all settings globally and improve treatment outcome of this devastating disease.",[58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,26,68,69,70],"Tuberculosis, Spinal","Tuberculosis, Osteoarticular","Tuberculosis","Mycobacterium Infections","Infections","Bone Diseases, Infectious","Musculoskeletal Diseases","Spinal Disease","Spondylitis","Spondylitis; Tuberculosis (Manifestation)","Positron-Emission Tomography","Diagnostic Imaging","Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures",[72,73,74,75],"Spinal TB","tuberculous spondylodiscitis","FDG-PET\u002FCT","POC","2024-08-22",{"date":78,"type":37},"2024-08-23",{"date":80,"type":37},"2022-10-25",{"date":82,"type":21},"2026-12-31",{"name":84,"class":44},"University of Cape Town"]
