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.
We hypothesize that overnight catheter drainage (OCD) of the urinary bladder might improve bladder dynamics and subsequently lead to improvement or resolution of hydronephrosis (HN) and renal function in boys who underwent PUV ablation. Patients who have persistent HN and bladder dysfunction at least one year after PUV ablation will be randomly allocated into two groups: the first group (control group): 55 patients, their parents will be taught the timed voiding regimen every 2 hours, while the second group (OCD group): 55 patients, their parents will be taught the timed voiding regimen every 2 hours, in addition to placing an overnight catheter to drain the urinary bladder during night. We will study the effect of OCD of the urinary bladder on the improvement or resolution of HN and urinary bladder function within a year of starting this regimen.
The primary objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical performance of combined check cystoscopy and urine cytology findings 4 weeks after initial primary complete resection of T1 BC for detection of residual malignancy at repeat biopsy.
Colorectal surgery, even performed by laparoscopy is followed by a transient episode of GI hypomotility, which results in a postoperative ileus (POI). The usual duration of this benign postoperative situation varies between 3 and 5 days for colon surgery. A longer duration of POI will result in more postoperative complications such as delayed surgical wound healing, atelectasis, pneumonia, and deep vein thrombosis; in a prolonged hospital stay; and increased healthcare cost. Different studies reported that the duration of POI correlates with total surgery time, blood loss, total opiate dose degree of surgical trauma, and bowel manipulation. Many attempts have been made to reduce the phase of postoperative intestinal hypomotility. The different strategies are well described in enhanced recovery and fast-track concepts and focus on minimal surgical trauma, rapid postoperative mobilization, early feeding, preemotive laxative treatment, restrictive fluid management, and minimal postoperative opioid prescription. Furthermore, several pharmacologic agents have been evaluated; however, not all offered a convincing benefit, nor were they free of adverse effects. Coffee is a worldwide highly consumed beverage, offering pleasure to many people of different cultures, and which many associate with an increase of bowel function. The aim of this study is to compare the time to first bowel movement after laparoscopic colorectal surgery between patients drinking coffee or orange juice postoperatively, in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
The objective of our study is to compare in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes between fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen-thawed ET in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
The aim of this study To compare the clinical and laboratory outcomes of two ovarian stimulation protocols (standard GnRH antagonist protocol and aromatase inhibitor/ antagonist protocol) in women (40-44) years undergoing ICSI cycle.
This study is aiming to evaluate primary stability and bone gain in trans-crestal osseodencification technique using Regular concaved osteotomes at different height elevations.
Although the aetiology of RA remains to be fully elucidated, interleukin (IL)-17 are believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of RA. Rebamipide is an antiulcer drug that protects gastric epithelial cells,improves gastric defense mechanisms by increasing gastric mucus. Rebamipide inhibited interleukin (IL)-17, also it inhibits IL-1β-induced RASF proliferation.
Obesity and iron deficiency (ID) are two forms of the most usual nutritional disorders worldwide. Iron deficiency remains the most common nutritional deficiency and cause of anemia worldwide. Populations in the developing countries, premenopausal females, pregnant women, children, vegetarians and frequent blood donors are largely affected by iron deficiency due to low dietary intake, inadequate bioavailable iron, increased iron demand required for growth and development, iron losses and changes in blood volume. WHO recognized obesity as disease, which is prevalent in both developing and developed countries. Overweight and obesity are now so common and thereby replacing the more traditional public health concerns (under nutrition and infectious diseases) as some of most significant contributors to ill health. The aim of this study is to investigate effect of aerobic exercise and diet on obese anemic premenopausal women which not clarified previously. It will be hypothesized that: There will be no significant effect of aerobic exercise and diet on the anthropometric and hematological measurements in obese anemic women.
The investigators will involve about 25 Patients of postmenopausal women who have ER/PR positive early breast cancer in each arm. The study is a two-arm comparative, prospective, interventional, and randomized study. All patients who are on oral daily letrozole (2.5 mg), will be randomly assigned to receive either immediate or delayed ZOL (4 mg via 15-min infusion every 6 months) for 24 months. Immediate-ZOL patients will receive ZOL immediately after randomization; delayed-ZOL patients will receive ZOL only if their T-score fall below -2.0, after a nontraumatic clinical fracture, or if an asymptomatic fracture will be detected by spinal X-ray at the 3- monthly assessment. All patients will receive daily supplements containing calcium (500 mg) and vitamin D (400-800 IU). Baseline bone mineral density and every 3 months will be done for the enrolled patients.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common and median nerve neuropathy at the wrist, caused by compression of the median nerve at the level of the carpal tunnel (CT) delimitated by the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament(TCL) which is the intermediate part of the flexor retinaculum (FR). The CTS remains a challenge for health care providers due to its high prevalence and economic consequences, it is projected that in every 5 patients, 1 complains of symptoms of pain, numbness and a tingling sensation in the hands, CTS is estimated to occur in 3.8% of the general population with an incidence rate of 276:100000 per year and happens more frequently in women than in men so a prevalence rate of 9.2% in women and 6% in men
