There are about 11256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. 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.
In this study, we aimed to describe the role of bone-derived factor (osteocrin) in glucose metabolism, micro and macrovascular complications in diabetic patients. Thus, further investigations of the endocrine system through bone-derived hormones may provide as new perspectives on the prediction, prevention, and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
The goal of this clinical trial is to optimize the design of lateral arm flap. Colored duplex will be done for all Participants and compared to intra operative findings. flap modification (Supra facial) dissection to lateral arm flap will be done and the results will compared to the ordinary method of dissection.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the commonest hip problem seen by pediatric orthopaedic surgeons (1). DDH refers to an abnormal configuration of, or relationship between, the femoral head and the acetabulum .Principals of surgical treatment of DDH, however, always include reduction and stabilization. These principals could be applied by conservative or surgical means (2). Goal of Treatment options to Obtain and maintain reduction without damaging femoral head. Surgical Stabilization might be required in cases with failed conservative treatment, residual dysplasia or older children with neglected DDH. Surgical stabilization is generally achieved by a reduction into a near anatomical position and a complementary capsulorrhaphy (3). In the classic T-shaped capsular incision, the vertical branch parallel to the axis of the neck and the horizontal branch 5 mm from the iliac insertion of the capsule, from anterior and downward to posterior and upward. Two flaps are thus obtained (4). It was noticed that doing capsulorrhaphy after head reduction is cumbersome with this technique because it needs shallow-curved needles while suturing in narrow field and sometimes the suture material gets avulsed from medial flab. A suggested technique by doing a modified incision to make re -suturing of the capsule easier with multiple stitches.
Determine safety of EPi-off CXL on corneal endothelium by using specular specular microscopy to assess endothelial count.
This randomized, double-blind, controlled bi-center study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of dexamethasone and methylprednisolone in caudal block for children undergoing hypospadias surgical repair using the duration of analgesia as the primary outcome. We hypothesize that methylprednisolone will provide superior postoperative analgesia than dexamethasone when added to bupivacaine for caudal block. This study will be conducted on 80 male patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II of with their age ranging from 1 to 6 years scheduled for surgical repair of hypospadias. The patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups:- Group D: will receive 0.5 ml/kg volume (bupivacaine 0.25 % + dexamethasone 0.1mg/kg) Group M: will receive 0.5 ml/kg volume (bupivacaine 0.25% + methylprednisolone 0.5mg/kg) The main collected data will be the duration of analgesia (first need for rescue analgesia ), the severity of postoperative pain according to FLACC and the side effects like nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression.
All patients with skeletal deformity will undergo orthognathic surgery after orthodontic treatment. After surgery TENS electrodes( rubber electrodes with the same size 5.3×4.8 cm) will be Placed bilaterally on ant temporalis and bilaterally on superficial masseter muscle…Time : 30 min /3 times per week/ 6 weeks
The aim of this thesis is to compare the efficacy of Vacuum assisted closure device versus conventional dressing before and after split thickness skin grafting in diabetic foot wounds.
Pediatric Lupus nephritis which is a sever and common complication to childhood onset systemic lupus erythematous is an aggressive inflammatory process triggered by the deposition of antigen-antibody complex in kidney tissue. The complex stimulates production of multiple immune cells, activating Inflammasome NLRP3 that plays massive role in stimulating various cytokines like IL-6. The inflammation also causes elevation in proteinuria and serum creatinine levels beside other inflammatory markers elevation (CRP )and (ESR). These children are treated with a standard regimen consists of an immunomodulator (mycophenolate mofetil) with strong steroid anti-inflammatory and also hydroxychloroquine is added to the regimen to decrease the intensity of the flares and management of arthritis symptoms. In our study we are introducing a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug with nephroprotective benefits which is curcumin capsules. The drug showed success in managing different autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, it also showed dramatic improvement in lupus nephritis models in previous experimental study. The study primary outcome is will be the composite of the effect of curcumin on Urine protein-to-creatinine ratio and NLPR3 Inflammasome levels in blood. Patients meeting the study inclusion criteria will be educated firmly about the disease details and all information about the drug, then will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, the first group receiving the standard therapy only while the second one receiving the standard therapy beside the curcumin 1000 mg capsules orally daily, a third small group of healthy children as a control for normal inflammasome levels. Patients in the first two groups will undergo baseline evaluation at the beginning of the study including Patients' demographic data, anthropometric measures and medication history. Moreover, collecting patients' medical history which includes Duration of systemic lupus, Duration of lupus nephritis, other organs involvement, past and current medical condition or prescribed and OTC medications. Laboratory Evaluation and renal function assessment will include Inflammasome levels in blood using ELISA technique using Human NLRP3 ELISA Kit, Serum creatinine levels, Protein in urine levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using Original Schwartz Equations, Inflammatory biomarkers (ESR, CRP), anti-ds DNA, anti-ANA DNA and evaluating Hematuria. Baseline Clinical evaluation includes Blood pressure measurement and Kidney structural damage evaluation via biopsy. Then patients will be followed up monthly for three months for assessing Patient Compliance with the prescribed medication regimens and the study drug, Occurrence of side effect graded using monitoring of side effects scale (MOSES) and checking for Allergic reactions against the drug. After the three months, all patients will be reassessed for all laboratory and clinical evaluations. finally results will be statistically analyzed Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS statistical software package
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of ketamine or magnesium sulphate soaked throat pack on the incidence and severity of post operative sore throat as a primary outcome, post operative nausea and vomiting as a secondary outcome following elective nasal surgery under general anesthesia.
Chronic non-specific neck pain patients will be enrolled in 3 groups in this study including passive, active control and experimental groups to determine the effect of adding lumbar core stability exercises to patient's advices and cervical and scapular stabilization exercises. For the last two groups, the sessions will be applied 3 times per week for 4 weeks. All the outcomes will be measured after patient's enrollment and at the end of 4 weeks to determine the difference between groups.
