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.
Comparing efficacy of hyalase and midazolam in median nerve entrapement neuropathy
Objective: This trial is designed to compare between the effectiveness of nifedipine versus magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for tocolysis in women with threatened preterm labor. Patient Population: The population will include pregnant women at gestational age between 32 and 36 weeks who are 18 years old or older and have signs of threatened preterm labor. Study Design: This is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 264 women pregnant between 32 and 36 weeks having threatened preterm labor will be enrolled and randomized into two parallel treatment arms. Patients in the group A will receive nifedipine, while patients in group B will MgSO4 only. Treatment: All patients will be randomized on the day of enrollment. Patients with threatened preterm labor will receive the respective tocolysis in each group. All patients will receive corticosteroids for lung maturity according to the local protocol. Primary outcome: Number of women not delivered within 48 hours of starting tocolytic therapy. Secondary outcomes: perinatal mortality, a composite of adverse neonatal outcomes, birth weight, days on ventilation support, length of admission in neonatal intensive care, prolongation of pregnancy more than 7 days, delivery after 37 weeks of gestation, number of days till delivery, maternal mortality, maternal infection, and harm to mother from intervention.
Each of the recruited patient was given 3 different placebo drugs with 3 different mad up names to be taken for one month with different regiments. The drug name resembled a real drug but with enough difference to prevent the patient from trying to buy it as a safety precaution. The name was printed on the box in English and Arabic letters. The coloured shape was printed to 2x2 cm dimension. After one month the participants were intervened by a doctor blinded to the study. The doctor asked about the drug history of the patient. If the participant could remember the drug name and its correct regiment the doctor documented that. if the patent failed to remember the correct name and its regiment then the doctor asked the patient to try and remember anything about the drug. Then the patient would be asked about the symbol on the drug and was it helpful for him in any way.

Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rarely encountered vascular scalp anomalies that represent 8% of all AVMs. Different terms are being used to describe the vascular anomalies of the scalp include cirsoid aneurysm, racemosum aneurysm, plexiform angioma, arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous malformation. Derived from the Greek language, kirsos, the term cirsoid aneurysm is used to describe the AVM as it resembles varix. Case studies reported approximately 200 cases with increased prevalence during the last 15 years. The etiology of scalp AVMs remains controversial, it can be spontaneous or traumatic. They generally develop in the trauma background and in patients over 30-year-old while spontaneous scalp AVM may present at birth and remains asymptomatic until adulthood.
Applying nanotechnology in drug delivery systems improved the bioavailability and kinetic profile of drugs in biological systems
CAD systems are computer applications that assist in the detection and/or diagnosis of diseases by providing an unbiased "second opinion" to the image interpreter, aiming at improving accuracy and reducing time for analysis. With the rapid growth of Deep Learning (DL) algorithms in image-based applications, CAD systems can now be trained by DL to provide more advanced capability (ie, the capability of artificial intelligence [AI]) to best assist clinicians.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the Skeletal stability of Le Fort I osteotomy using patient-specific osteosynthesis compared to Mini-plate fixation for patients with skeletal class III malocclusion.
It was proven that intrathecal opioids are considered as an effective means of pain control in several major surgical interventions including spine surgeries. Intrathecal morphine added to a spinal anesthesia reduces acute pain after spine surgeries but has side effects, including dose dependent respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and sedation. Ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) was first described in 2016.Recent case reports suggest a positive effect of ultrasound guided ESPB on pain for multiple indications including lumbar spine fusion and scoliosis surgery, with a very low risk of complications as there are no structures in close proximity at risk of needle injury.
This randomized controlled trial is aimed to evaluate pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies, in which a cervical cerclage is placed due to the shortening of the cervix with or without visible fetal membranes.
