There are about 6915 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Austria. 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.
Patients undergoing surgery of a vestibular schwannoma will be included in the study. Patients will receive triamcinolone acetonide 24h before surgery. During translabyrinthine surgery cochlear perilymph, perilymph from the semicircular canal and cerebrospinal fluid will be taken and analyzed for triamcinolone content. In patients undergoing middle fossa or retrosigmoid resection only cerebrospinal fluid will be taken and analyzed for triamcinolone acetonide level.
The Electro-Convulsion-Therapy (ECT) is a well accepted treatment option in severe depression. The quality of ECT is evaluated basing on minimal seizure duration (>15sec), the sympathic response and the postictal EEG-suppression. - Page 1 of 3 - For the treatment general anaesthesia is needed. On the other hand anaesthesia strongly influences the quality of the seizure. Standard treatment is to use Anaesthesia to intervention time (ASTI) of 1 to 2 minutes for ideal timing of the electric stimulation. The aim of the study is to assess if timing of electric stimulation aiming for ar an anaesthesia depth of Narcotrend values 41-64 may provide better convulsion quality than standard approach of using ASTI 1-2 minutes.
This study is looking at the safety of the new medicine, insulin NNC0471-0119, its concentrations in the blood and effect on blood sugar for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Insulin NNC0471-0119 will be compared to faster aspart. The purpose of this study is to test how insulin NNC0471-0119 is tolerated by participants body, how it is transported in participants bloodstream, how long it stays there and how the blood sugar is lowered compared to faster aspart. Participants will get either the new insulin NNC0471-0119 or faster aspart-which treatment participants get is decided by chance. It is the first time insulin NNC0471-0119 is tested in people. Faster aspart is a globally used medication for treatment of diabetes mellitus. Participants will get one single injection in a fasting state which will take place at the study site. The medicine will be injected under the skin in the stomach. The study will last for about 13-53 days, depending on individual visit schedule. Participants will have four clinic visits with the study doctor, one of which will require an in-house visit period of 3 days. During the in-house visit, two intravenous cannulas will be inserted for sampling of blood and infusion of insulin. Participants cannot be in the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks to their health. Women: Women cannot take part if they are of childbearing potential.
Multicentre, multinational, non-interventional, observational, retrospective, patient record study to evaluate changes in coagulation parameters in patients with severe COVID-19 infection receiving/not treatment with antithrombin (AT) III
Traumatic brachial plexus lesions may lead to permanent impairment of hand function despite brachial plexus surgery. In selected cases the affected forearm can be amputated and replaced by a bionic hand. It is unclear how cortical activation patterns change after the injury and after acquisition of the hand prosthesis considering the complex changes in sensory and motor feedback. The aim of the study is to measure cortical activity with fMRI during actual and imagery movements with the affected and healthy arm in a group of patients after traumatic brachial plexus injury and a group in whom this was followed by replacement with a bionic hand. In this prospective study three groups of patients will participate: 1) 3 adult patients with a traumatic brachial plexus lesion eligible for a bionic arm but prior to its acquisition, 2) 3 patients with a traumatic brachial plexus lesion who have acquired the bionic arm already, and 3) 10 healthy subjects. The investigators will measure cortical activity using fMRI BOLD tasks of closing the hand and motor imagery of this movement. Cortical activity will be compared between the three groups. Additionally, regional gray matter volume, resting-state, and DTI networks will be studied. Written informed consent will be provided prior to the investigation. The complete examination has a duration of approximately 45 minutes.
Aim of the study was to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on individual and general sport activities in an effort to provide information for safe return to community sports.
459 adult patients who received a hemithyroidectomy at the Department of General Surgery, Division of Endocrine Surgery and a follow-up visit (3-12 months post-surgery) at the thyroid outpatient clinic of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Medical University of Vienna between 1994 and 2018 were identified and investigated in this retrospective study. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patients post right side hemithyroidectomy require a higher mean levothyroxine dosage than patients after left lobe hemithyroidectomy as the right thyroid lobe is bigger than the left lobe. Further, we aimed at developing a better post-surgery thyroid dosage prediction model.
Postoperative complications like seroma formation and wound site infection readily occur following completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for malignant melanoma. We analyzed the impact of time-to-drain removal and drainage volume on seroma formation after ALND.
Background: Many people think that people with mental disorders might be dangerous or unpredictable. These patients face various sources of disadvantages and experience discrimination on job interviews, in education, and housing. Mental health-related stigma (MHS) occurs not only within the public community, it is a growing issue among professionals as well. Aim: The investigators designed a prospective, observational, multi-centre, international study of 35 European countries to investigate the MHS among medical specialists and trainees in the field of general adult and child and adolescent psychiatry. Methods: An internet-based, anonymous survey will measure the stigmatizing attitude by using the local version of the Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care Providers. Presentation of the Results: The results of the research will be published in an international peer-reviewed journal. Furthermore, the research team will present the results at national and international conferences.
The two most common congenital abdominal wall defects (AWD) are gastroschisis and omphalocele. Prenatal detection is often possible and the defects are differentiated by the presence or absence of a sac around the eviscerated organs. A omphalocele occurs in 0.6-4.8 in 10,000 live births compared to 4.5 in 10,000 live births with gastroschisis. In the last years a rising incidence of gastroschisis has been shown worldwide. Both forms of AWDs necessitate early surgical intervention, mostly in one or two stages, and support at an intensive care unit in the first days of life. Additionally, patients need parenteral feeding in the first weeks of life. The outcome depends on the size of the defect and on the associated malformations. The literature about long-term outcome of these malformations is scarce. Some publications have reported long-term complications like redo-surgical procedures because of fascial gaps or umbilical or incisional hernias. Furthermore, stool irregularities, abdominal pain and several admission to the hospital due to ileus or sub-ileus have been described. Additionally, half of the patients are unsatisfied with the cosmetic result. Some other studies have shown that children born with an AWD have the same quality of life (QoL) compared with the healthy community. Nevertheless, patients with AWDs need a standardized, structured and multimodal long-time follow-up program to be able to detect any problems early and give advice to understand their illness in order to achieve the same QoL as healthy children. Therefore, the aim of this dissertation will be: - to prospectively assess the motor activity, cardiopulmonary performance capacity and QoL of patients treated with AWDs in our Department - to suggest a new standardized follow-up protocol for patients born with an AWD
