There are more than 498,563 clinical trials published worldwide with over 60,000 trials that are currently either recruiting or not yet recruiting.

The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical utility of the Melanoma Detection System (MDS).
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to compare the use of pupilometer and ultrasound assessment of optic nerve sheath diameter in predicting the ICP and to see if there is a value that could be used to indicate elevated ICP with either modality as these numbers are inconsistent throughout the literature. Patients that have either an external ventricular drain (EVD) or bolt placed will be enrolled in the study. After the EVD and bolt are placed the patient will undergo pupilometer examination (standard of care) followed by ultrasound assessment of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The three values will be recorded. The same patient may have multiple readings performed if there is a change in ICP either spontaneously or due to intervention.
In the current era of assisted reproductive techniques where technology can help overcome defects in sperm function, the value of semen analysis has become even more inaccurate. Initial reports of intracytoplasmic sperm injection revealed its ability to bypass the natural selection process and enable men with severely impaired semen parameters to achieve both clinical pregnancy and live birth
Sustained inflation (SI) has been reported to be effective for reducing the need for intubation and/or invasive ventilation in preterm infants. However, it has also an important role to support the initial breaths and liquid removal from the airways. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that SI performed just after birth may help to facilitate the transitional period and decrease the incidence of early respiratory morbidities such as transient tachypnea in term infants.
This study is designed to investigate the association of the clinical and laboratory parameters or data with the cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Patients with at least four ACR classification criteria for SLE and stable clinical condition (no need for immunosuppressive therapy intensification, i.e. current immunosuppressive drug dose increase or introduction of an additional immunosuppressive drug within last 3 months) will be included in the study. Study procedures will include clinical evaluation, lab tests including blood counts, liver and kidney functions and antibodies levels such as ANA, antiphospholipid antibodies, anti-ds DNA as well as inflammatory markers such as sedimentation rates. Also evaluation of cardiac status by cardiologist examination echocardiography and gadolinium enhanced cardiac MRI. Next, correlation between cardiac abnormalities and laboratory changes will be statistically analyzed.
- The teeth of the patients that meet inclusion criteria will be anesthetized, isolated with a rubber dam. - Cavity opened using conventional high-speed rotary instruments. - The central cariogenic biomass and the superficial parts of the necrotic dentine will be removed with round burs. - Caries lesion will be completely removed in the enamel/dentin junction. - The excavation procedure will be terminated as soon as the soft and wet dentine was removed and the remaining tissue was leathery but not hard on exploring. - A dentinal sample will then be collected from the base of the cavity using sterile spoon excavator as a baseline for bacteriological assessment. - Then, application of either intervention or control agent, another dentinal sample will be collected using a sterile excavator and transferred into sterile tubes and transferred to the laboratory for microbiological analysis. - Filling of the cavity with resin composite restoration. - All clinical procedures will be carried out at the same visit.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the revised brain training program with individuals diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
During induction of anesthesia in children, the investigators have observed significant variability in mask holding technique at our institution among different anesthesia practitioners. Some hold the face mask using one hand and others use two hands. The aim of our study is to comparatively evaluate the extent of airway obstruction in children whilst anesthetic mask is held with one hand with jaw thrust versus mask held using two hands with chin lift by anesthesia provider during induction of anesthesia in children.
This study is an open-label, multi-center, dose-ranging study to characterize the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and PK/PD of up to four dose levels of BNZ-1 administered weekly by IV infusion to adults diagnosed with Large Granular Lymphocyte (LGL) Leukemia or refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL).
The investigators will be enrolling children with distal radius buckle fractures, treating them with a removable splint and randomizing them to follow up as needed vs required follow up with a primary care physician 1-2 weeks after the ED visit.
