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.
Midazolam has been used in regional anesthesia of brachial plexus block; it has offered accepted postoperative pain relief. This study will use it in as an adjuvant to bupivacaine 0.25% in quadratus lumborum block in caesarean section
An observational study will be conducted in the Department of Neurology at AlAzhar University Hospitals To study the etiological factors of non-compressive myelopathy in a sample of Egyptian patients
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between smartphone addiction and trunk position sense, insomnia and fatigue in adolescents. Sample size will be determined after a pilot study conducted on a small sample of adolescents. Digital goniometer will be used to evaluate trunk position sense, insomnia severity index will be used to evaluate insomnia severity and fatigue will be measured by fatigue severity scale.
Liver resection surgery is a common surgical procedure which is performed on patients with benign, malignant or metastatic hepatic tumor as well as for living liver donor. Liver resection surgery is usually performed through either right subcostal or inversed L-shaped incision; both approaches are associated with a significant postoperative pain which requires intensive analgesic plan to facilitate early mobilization and minimize complications. There are various lines for pain management in liver resection surgery such as systemic analgesic drugs, neuraxial blocks (e.g., thoracic epidural analgesia) and transversus abdominis plane [TAP] block). Systemic analgesic drugs are nearly constantly used in liver resection. However, being systemically administered, these drugs have many side effects on many organs and cannot totally eliminate postoperative pain. Thoracic epidural block is commonly associated with hypotension; furthermore, its use has other limitations such as delaying postoperative mobilization and possible hematoma and cord compression in patients with coagulopathy which is expected following liver resection. Therefore, there had been an increased interest in the use of abdominal field blocks to avoid disadvantages of neuraxial blocks and minimize the use of parenteral analgesic drugs. TAP block is one of the classic field blocks which is extensively used in laparotomies including liver resection. However, the lack of visceral pain control TAP block influences the quality of its analgesic effect in this type of patients. Nevertheless, TAP block, namely the subcostal approach, is still the recommended field block in the latest procedure-specific recommendations for pain management in liver resection as it is the only block which showed good evidence. In recent years, there has been increased interest in a newer field block, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), due its easy performance and the possible coverage of visceral pain in addition to the somatic pain. ESPB showed promising results in liver resection surgery. ESBP was superior to TAP block in various abdominal surgeries. However, its analgesic efficacy had not been previously compared in relation to TAP in patients undergoing open liver resection surgery.
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with increase interaction of inflammatory mediators like adipokines. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is one of the most abundant adipokines and have anti-angiogenesis effect. There is a study showed that PEDF level is up-regulated in the sera of psoriasis patients.
Aim of this study is to compare post-operative analgesic efficacy of continuous epidural analgesia versus ultrasound guided continuous femoral nerve block and adductor nerve block after unilateral total knee replacement using 0.125% bupivacaine.
in the recent times, dry eye was found to be correlated sedentary life style, obesity, hypertension. So, changing the sedentary lifestyle is recommended
Aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESB) for postoperative pain management in lumbar spine surgery.
This study will compare the effects of propofol/dexmedetomidine versus desflurane for maintenance of general anesthesia on hepatocellular injury in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy.
Obstructive jaundice may be of malignant and benign etiologies. Carcinoma of the gall bladder, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastasis, and lymph nodal compression of common bile duct (CBD) constitute the majority of malignant causes. Most of the patients with malignant obstructive jaundice are already advanced and inoperable by the time they are diagnosed, hence carry bad prognosis with palliation being the only option left. Obstruction needs to be drained even in such cases for reducing pain, cholangitis, anorexia and pruritus as well as to reduce the serum bilirubin levels in certain cases to initiate chemo or intrabiliary brachytherapy. Over the years, palliation has evolved with the introduction of newer methods and improvisation of existing techniques. Recent palliative measures prolong longevity and improve the quality of life, hence increasing the acceptance to such procedures; Methods of biliary drainage include: a. Surgical bypass b. Minimally invasive procedures; Endoscopic retrograde (ERCP) (cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). ERCP as well as PTBD are well-established and effective means for biliary drainage as palliative treatment in unresectable cases. With the current modern technique in experienced hands, Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) equals endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) regarding technical success and complications. In addition, there is a reduction in immediate procedure-related mortality with proven survival benefit. Moreover, it is the only immediate lifesaving procedure in cholangitis and sepsis.
