The objective of the current study is to evaluate the validity of the No Shock, Predictable Shock, Unpredictable Shock (NPU) stressor task for use as a surrogate endpoint to predict short-term clinical outcomes among smokers during a smoking cessation attempt.
Introduction Operative duration is an important but under-studied predictor of mortality in emergency laparotomies. Aims & Objectives The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of duration of emergency laparotomy in children on mortality and to identify a rough cut-off duration of laparotomy to serve as a guide to plan the laparotomy to optimize pediatric surgical patient outcome.
Patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with locally advanced gastric caner undergo the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs or the standard cares (SC) programs.
Background: Earlier treatment and resolution for patients with cerebral aneurysms is now possible due to earlier diagnosis. This observational study aims to evaluate the intraoperative cardiovascular parameters in patients with cerebral aneurysms undergoing endovascular therapy. Method: This is an observational prospective study. Patients ≥ 18 years old diagnosed with an unruptured cerebral aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) (Hunt & Hess grade I or II) undergoing endovascular treatment under general anesthesia between April 2015 and February 2017 were included. Non-invasive measurements of hemodynamic variables were collected at six time points during the procedure (T1 to T6). Statistical analysis was performed by using central tendency measures for quantitative variables and absolute / relative frequency measurements for qualitative variables.
The objective of this study is to have better knowledge about sensations of patients with skin carcinomas and to have data about characteristics of pain and pruritus . All patients presenting with a suspicions lesion for skin carcinomas will be included and will respond to a questionnaire. Demographics data, and histological data about skin carcinomas will be collected.
Prison concentrates people with violent behavior and patients suffering from psychiatric disorders. Aggression are daily, the suicide rate is 5 to 10 times higher than the ordinary environment and current prevention devices have shown their limits. That's why, in order to improve the violence's prevention in prison, the investigator propose to identify the predictive factors of violence by studying retrospectively the link between the psychiatric profile and commission of violence after being jailed.
Vitamin D deficiency is a commonly observed health problem in the world. With a role in many chronic diseases and especially lung diseases, the importance of vitamin D deficiency in anesthesia management is increased. This research aims to investigate whether there is a correlation between the respiratory complications occurring in patients under general anesthesia and preoperative vitamin D levels.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the use of rigid neck collar postoperatively. It consists of patients with cervical myelopathy undergoing open-door laminoplasty with titanium arch plates. Patients are divided into two groups: one group are not using rigid neck collar whereas the second group of patients wear rigid neck collar for three weeks postoperatively. Both groups of patients will then be assessed at fixed intervals. Clinical assessments include the cervical spine range of motion, any axial neck pain and also a full neurological examination. Radiographs will be used to assess for any complications. Cervical spine alignment and relevant questionnaires will be done and recorded. These results will help to conclude whether we can avoid the use of rigid cervical collars postoperatively, in view of the associated problems arising from restricted neck movement.
This study will use a new "H" joystick for reduction on patients with femur fractures to investigate the reduction time, operating time and bone healing status for the evaluation of the clinical application benefits of this joystick.
A retrospective cohort study of all patients treated for type II (hypercapnic) respiratory failure with either High-Flow Oxygen Therapy or Non-Invasive Ventilation in a general adult hospital.
