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.
The investigators hypothesize that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) might have a role in prevention of the recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The patients who are suffering from high-risk NMIBC will be randomly allocated into two groups: The first group (n-3 PUFAs group): 55 patients will receive omega-3 plus twice daily for one year after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). The second group (Control group): 55 patients will receive placebo twice daily for one year after TURBT. All patients will receive intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy and they will be followed up for two years. The chemopreventive effect of n-3 PUFAs on the recurrence of NMIBC after TURBT will be studied via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), inpatient cystoscopy, histopathological examination and molecular studies of the resected bladder tissues.
Background: Achieving glycemic control without risking hypoglycemia imposes a major challenge in the management of toddlers and preschool children with Type 1 diabetes(T1D). Optimal insulin therapy for young children with T1D should provide effective glycemic control while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Despite the advantages of the basal-bolus insulin regimens, hypoglycemia still presents a major barrier in achieving desirable glycemic control. Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of insulin degludec to insulin glargine and NPH in toddlers and preschool children with T1D in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1C) and frequency of hypoglycemic episodes.
The primary goal of hepatitis C virus (HCV) Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) is to achieve undetectable HCV RNA in the blood. A response that should be maintained for at least 12 weeks from completion of therapy. This is called sustained virological response (SVR) which corresponds to cure of HCV infection as risk of later relapse is very small. SVR is important to achieve improvement in liver necroinflammation and fibrosis and to decrease complications of cirrhosis. Failing to achieve SVR after treatment requires another regimen for these experienced patients. Real-world data are always needed to evaluate and improve our practices. Here investigators aim to assess tolerability and efficacy of different regimens used for management of genotype 4 HCV relapse.
The objective of the study is to evaluate if occlusal stabilization splints equilibrated by articulating paper will have equivalent effect in comparison to occlusal stabilization splints equilibrated by T-scan regarding the relief of the TMD signs and symptoms
Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: 1. Group A: (20 patients) will receive NB UVB phototherapy 3 sessions per week for 2 months. 2. Group B: (20 patients) will receive pregabalin oral therapy (50mg after each dialysis session) for 2 months.
The aim of this blind comparative study was to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine, fentanyl and their combination on airway reflexes and hemodynamic responses to tracheal extubation in Adult chronic male smoking patients scheduled for abdominal surgeries (of average 2-3 hours duration).
We hypothesized that gabapentin when given orally as a premedication in patients who perform posterior segment eye surgery under peribulbar block would provide adequate anxiolysis and arousable sedation as alprazolam and dexmedetomidine with minimal side effects .
The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcome of using direct esthetic composite restorations in managing MIH cases and the use of preformed metal crowns.
Surgery is first-line treatment for solid tumors. However, surgical trauma-induced physiologic stress has been demonstrated to facilitate metastasis and recurrence in different types of cancer. It has been reported that the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway could be activated by surgical stress. Hence, we instigate the effect of anesthetic technique on expression of PD1 and PD1 ligand.
The aim of this research is to study and compare the efficacy and safety of single injection erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block in prevention of post herpetic neuralgia in patients with acute thoracic herpes zoster.
