There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. 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 purporse of this study is evaluate whether fibrinogen concentrate reduces postoperative bleeding in pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary by-pass.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib to chemotherapy in female participants with Stage III, IV, or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. It is hypothesized that the combination of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib will be superior to chemotherapy for progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR). It is also hypothesized that the combination of pembrolizumab + lenvatinib will be superior to chemotherapy for overall survival (OS). As of Amendment 7 eligible participants on study completion will be able to transition to an extension study, if available, in which they can continue to receive pembrolizumab monotherapy, lenvatinib monotherapy, or a combination of both pembrolizumab and lenvatinib as received in the parent study.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study to evaluate the non-inferiority of hyperbaric Novabupi® versus hyperbaric Neocaine® in spinal anesthesia in lower limbs vascular surgery. The schedule consists of four visits: screening (visit 1); pre-anesthetic evaluation and randomization (visit 2); treatment (visit 3) and discharge from study (visit 4).
Clinical evaluation of conventional and modified coronally advanced flaps combined with acellular dermal matrix graft
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a unique clinical scenario that results in widespread activation of the hemostatic system. Conventional CPB interferes with normal hemostasis by diluting hemostatic cells and proteins, through reinfusion of shed blood, and through activation on the bypass circuit surface of multiple systems including platelets, the kallikrein-kinin system, and fibrinolysis . Besides, deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are partly sequelae of blood-foreign surface reactions. The arterial filter is the part of the CPB circuit where blood cells are exposed to high mechanical stress and where cellular aggregates may fasten in large quantitiesiec.
Introduction: Neck Pain (NP) is considered a common idiopathic disorder in the general population. Oriented from incorrect executions during daily activities the DPO compromises the trapezius muscle that has a viscoelastic coating called fascia, which, in turn, is a soft tissue component, belonging to the connective tissue, that permeates the entire human body. During some activities that generate muscle overload, the fascia may undergo energy demands in which the local blood supply may be decreased, causing tissue hypoxia to result in pain. Decreased tissue blood supply could limit or prevent slippage of myofascial tissues. However, myofascial release can influence mechanoreceptors within the fascia, contributing to changes in local fluid dynamics, reducing excessive muscle tension, capillary constriction, and increasing local blood flow. One of the tools available for hemodynamic evaluation is the Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), which can quantify and capture variations in hemoglobin levels. Aim: To investigate whether myofascial release improves peripheral muscle oxygenation, pain intensity, and functional capacity of individuals with trapezius muscle pain. Methods: It is a clinical, parallel, randomized, double blind controlled trial with three groups that will be divided into: experimental, Sham and control. The instruments to be used in the research will be: Pressure Algometer, Neck Disability Index Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), NIRS and Electromyograph. The experimental group will receive a myofascial release protocol for 20 minutes once weekly for six weeks. The Sham group will receive a continuous surface slip technique for the same time and frequency and the control will perform the evaluation and re-evaluation. Results: The present research is expected to increase peripheral muscle oxygenation, decrease pain threshold and improve quality of life after 6 weeks of intervention.
A multicenter, international prospectively collected patient cohort undergoing high-risk spinal cord level surgery or spinal osteotomy procedures will be enrolled to establish the incidence of intraoperative alerts in high-risk spinal cord cases, and explore factors associated with mitigating injury. Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics, including demographics, radiological features, lower extremity motor score (LEMS), procedure, anesthetic agents used, and baseline blood pressure will be recorded for either adult patients or pediatric patients.
The aim of this study will be to verify effects of resistance training in people living with HIV/AIDS.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the infectious outcomes of intrarectal povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of needle tip during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. The secondary objective is to evaluate predictive factors of infectious complications after prostate biopsy. Data will be prospectively collected from patients who will undergo prostate biopsy in a single high volume urology center. The patients will be randomized to two different groups: group A - rectal cleansing and disinfection of the needle tip vs group B - controls.
In last years it has been demonstrated that photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has ergogenic effects. However some key aspects, such as the potentially beneficial effects of PBMT during the detraining period still remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of PBMT applied before and after aerobic training sessions and during the detraining period.
