There are about 430 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Arab Emirates. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information for scientific research and to identify the impact of overweight and obesity on health-related quality of life.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), marked by acute hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, has undergone multiple definitions over the years. Challenges persist regarding the ARDS definitions, leading to various revisions. Through the Delphi study, the investigators aims to gather global opinions on the conceptual framework of ARDS, assess the utility of current and past definitions, and explore the role of subphenotyping. The diverse panel's collective expertise will contribute valuable insights for refining future ARDS definitions and enhancing clinical management.
The study aims to compare the mean change in Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels among patients with hypothyroidism treated with an increased dose of L-thyroxine (treatment group) versus standard/regular dose of L-thyroxine (control group) during the month of Ramadan.
The aim of the present study is to assess the predictability of Invisalign® SmileView™ for digital AI smile simulation in comparison to actual smile treatment outcomes, using various smile assessment parameters.
This study will be a pilot randomized controlled trial, comparing the effectiveness of two modes of delivery of the same 6-week exercise program for chronic non-specific neck pain. The first group will be monitored via the software that records each session so the therapist can review, and the second will have written instructions on paper to follow through by them themselves. Pre-test and post-test measurements (pain score, disability index, cervical ROM, cervical muscle endurance) will be taken, before and after completion of the exercise programme.
The study was carried out in a diabetic patient who was starting a new approach for treatment. Previously the patient was treated with Novo-mix insulin injection twice per day, the physician decided to change the treatment strategy to be with three doses of novo-rapid insulin injections per day plus one injection of Lantus SoloStar in dinner. For two weeks we were monitoring the blood glucose level by the FreeStyle Libre sensor. Moreover, the right statistical technique was used for data analysis.
The aim of this study is to identify existing definitions and therapeutic approaches for acute right ventricular injury (RVI) in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support. The objective of the study is to generate expert consensus statements on the definition and management of acute RVI in this high-risk patient population, using a Delphi method. The standardised RVI definition during ECMO for respiratory support and a consensus-based management approach to RVI will facilitate systematic aggregation of data across clinical trials to harmonise patient selection and compare therapeutic interventions.
the goal of this Randomized controlled cross over trial is to compare the effects of meal sequences VPF meal vs. SMM on the incremental area under the curve of postprandial glucose response among healthy adults in the UAE. the main question it aims to answer is what is the effect of meal sequence of vegetable and protein first followed by carbohydrates (VPF) compared to a standard mixed meal (SMM) on the postprandial glucose level and insulin response among healthy adults in the UAE. Participants will consume two is caloric test meals in random order (SMM and VPF meal sequences) separated by a 7-10-day washout period then blood sample will be collected at fasting ,30min,60min and 120mon for glucose and insulin and hunger ration will be done as well .Researchers will compare the effect of the two meals on postprandial blood glucose, insuline and hunger rating.
A blood sample was taken before starting the patients on any thrombolytic treatment. The positivity threshold for D-Dimer was above 250 ng/ml. CTPA was performed after performing blood sampling. Patients with confirmed pulmonary embolisms were admitted to ICU for continued monitoring of vitals, consciousness level, and signs of tissue perfusion. Signs of shock or hemodynamic instability should be observed regularly. Patients were managed in the ICU with anticoagulants by parenteral use. The most commonly used items were Heparin, either Unfractionated (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).D-dimer levels can leverage to detect PE. D-dimer levels can help in guiding the option of CTPA and the initiation of treatment for patients with suspected PE.
Background: Management of postoperative pain in paediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy remains a challenge that faces anesthesiologists in their daily practice. High dose of opioids are usually necessary and are responsible for side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, delayed hospital discharge and more importantly respiratory depression and sleep apnea. Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha two agonist that has an analgesic and anxiolytic effect with minimal effects on respiratory drive. Goal of the study: The aim of this study is to assess the opioid sparing effect of preoperative intranasal dexmedetomidine as part of multimodal analgesia in the paediatric population undergoing tonsillectomy. Methods: This will be a prospective, randomised, controlled, double blinded clinical trial with 50 participants who will be randomised between two groups: dexmedetomidine group and control group. The dexmedetomidine group will receive intranasal dexmedetomidine in the preoperative holding area while the other group will receive the placebo. The primary endpoint will be the total fentanyl consumption in the perioperative period. Additionally, we will look at postoperative pain scores at 10, 30 and 60 minutes after recovery as well as the time to first opioid rescue analgesic and agitation scores as secondary endpoints. Blood pressure and hart rate will also be recorded throughout the study period.
