Preoperative risk assessment (an evaluation of overall health before surgery) is important to determine the overall risk of mortality and complications for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery to allow the appropriate allocation of sparse hospital resources. The current gold standard for preoperative assessment is cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). CPET is, however, not available in all centres that perform major surgery, it is a costly test, and therefore only high-risk patients are tested. Finding new ways of conducting preoperative assessment could improve overall surgical safety, patient experience and reduce cost. The preoperative use of remote vital signs monitoring can provide important information about the patients' fitness and overall health and may be used for preoperative assessment. This study will use a remote monitoring patch to monitor patients' vital signs before surgery. The aim is to evaluate the utility and patient acceptability of the remote monitoring system and the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial of this type of assessment. Additionally, the study will assess the correlation between the data captured by the remote monitoring system and the CPET results to evaluate the remote monitoring system's ability to predict risk of surgery. The study will take place in Leeds Teaching hospitals. Adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery that require CPET before surgery are eligible. Participants will be monitored at home with the patch monitor for 3-5 days before surgery, in addition to their planned preoperative assessment. During remote monitoring, patients will be asked to complete questionnaires on their general health and experience using the patch paired with the mobile phone as part of the monitoring system. Clinical data from the electronic hospital records and general practitioner records available on the trust system will then be collected after surgery to assess complications and calculate risk scores.
This is a multi-center, open-label phase 1 dose escalation trial that uses a modified 3+3 design to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AB-1015 cell product. Backfill cohorts will enroll additional subjects at doses deemed to be safe for a total enrollment of up to 12 subjects per each backfill cohort on the protocol.
This is an open label, multicenter, phase 1/2 study to assess the safety/tolerability and preliminary clinical activity of STAR0602 as a single agent administered intravenously in participants with advanced solid tumors that are antigen-rich.
Abdominal surgery is usually associated with severe postoperative pain. The transverse abdominal plane (TAP) block is considered an effective means for pain control in such cases. The quadratus lumborum (QL) block is another option for the management of postoperative pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadrates lumborum blocks and Transversus abdominis plane blocks for pain management after abdominal cancer surgery.
In recent years, template guidance has been applied and developed in the field of puncture related operations, such as template-assisted radioactive seed implantation. With the guidance of template, needle pathway of seed implantation, biopsy and fiducial marker implantation can be precisely planned actual operation, which is conducive to the accurate proceeding. Templates can be divided into coplanar templates and non-coplanar templates. The digital coplanar template coordinate puncture system has been developed in China and has been applied in clinical practice. In our previous studies, coplanar template assisted CT-guided radioactive seed implantation has good clinical feasibility for percutaneous biopsy of small pulmonary nodules. However, the accuracy of coplanar template assistance for abdominal tumor puncture are lacking in prospective studies. The study aims to prospectively observe the accuracy and safety of coplanar template assisted CT-guided abdominal tumor puncture during biopsy and fiducial markers implantation.
The investigators carry out a multi center, randomized controlled clinical study to analyze the impact of the whole process multi-mode rehabilitation management (nutrition-Sports-Psychology) on the nutritional status, physical status, psychological status, treatment side effects and the completion rate of radiotherapy and chemotherapy of patients with abdominal tumors; To explore and establish a multi-mode rehabilitation management path for patients with malignant tumors undergoing concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Pediatric epidural anesthesia has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgery. The loss of resistance technique is the gold standard for the placement of the epidural. The VPC (visual pressure control) syringes developed by PAJUNK enable direct visualization of the introduction of the needle into the epidural space.
Families of children with rare diseases (i.e., not more than 5 out of 10.000 people are affected) are often highly burdened with fears, insecurities and concerns regarding the affected child and his/her siblings. The aim of the present research project is to examine the psychosocial burden of the children with rare solid abdominal tumors and their family in order to draw attention to a possible psychosocial care gap in this population.
This clinical trial studies the effect of behavioral health support including tele-health in helping surgical patients taper off of prescription opioid pain medications. "Tapering off" means taking dose amounts of medication that get smaller over time, so that less and less of the drug is used until it is not needed anymore. Researchers want to learn how these techniques may improve a patient's ability to lower or avoid dependence on opioid medications after surgery, and if behavioral therapies may improve quality of life, emotional well-being, and functional status around surgery.
