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.
1. To describe the patterns of care of newly diagnosed patients with NVAF vs VAF in the first-line, second-line and beyond second line setting, including, treatment plan, regimen, dosing, duration of treatment, and reason for interruption and termination along with treatment switching at any point of treatment, regardless if the patients are considered of first line, second line or further within the treatments. 2. To describe the clinical outcomes (stroke/systemic embolism, bleeding complications, as well as cause-specific and all-cause mortality) with NVAF vs VAF. 3. To describe the values and distribution of International normalized ratio (INR) in patients who received VKAs and to assess the influence of Time in therapeutic range (TTR) and INR history on clinical outcomes (stroke/systemic embolism, bleeding complications) with NVAF vs VAF. 4. To evaluate AF-related healthcare resource utilization and direct costs associated with the management of AF patients with NVAF vs VAF. and To describe the baseline clinical and demographic characteristics as well as risk factors among patients newly diagnosed with NVAF versus VAF.
Liver transplant is the treatment of choice in children with end-stage liver failure.liver transplant is indicated when the risk of mortality from the native liver disease outweighs the overall risk of transplantation.The complications occur both immediately post-transplantation and in the long-term. The main complications in the immediate postoperative period are related to the function of the graft (dysfunction and rejection), the surgical technique, infections (bacterial, fungal, and viral),and systemic problems (pulmonary, renal, or neurological) and in the long term, the complications are typically a consequence of the prolonged immunosuppressive therapy.
This study will try to provide a better understanding of the psychological, cognitive and electrophysiological factors that contribute to suicide in depressed patients.
The identification of bronchiectasis in COPD has been defined as a different clinical COPD phenotype with greater symptomatic severity, more frequent chronic bronchial infection and exacerbations, and poor prognosis. A causal association has not yet been proven, but it is biologically plausible that COPD, and particularly the infective and exacerbator COPD phenotypes, could be the cause of bronchiectasis without any other known etiology, beyond any mere association or comorbidity.
Ultrasonography of Rectus Femoris and Anterior Tibialis muscles for nutritional assesment in cirrhotic patients undergoing major abdominal surgery
In daily practice, midline laparotomy is an incision frequently performed by surgeons to achieve a rapid and wide access to the abdomen. However, incisional hernia stands as the most common complication following this type of incision, with an incidence reaching up to 20% and even higher in the case of emergency laparotomy. A recent randomized controlled trial compared small bite sutures and large bite closure of elective midline laparotomy and reported a significant decrease of incisional hernia rate from 18% to 5.6% in favor of small-bite technique. These promising results were subsequently confirmed in a wide-scale multicenter double-blinded randomized trial, the STITCH study. The investigators will conduct this randomized controlled trial to compare the small tissue bite (SB) technique and the large bite (LB) technique for closure of emergency midline laparotomy. The main outcome of the study will be the incidence of incisional hernia within one year after surgery.
Pattern of non valvular Atrial fibrillation in acute ischemic stroke patients at Assiut University Hospitals.
Background: Postoperative pain is one of the greatest patient concerns following surgery. However, general anesthesia cannot provide adequate postoperative pain control and the routine use of parenteral opioids aggravates postoperative sedation, nausea, emesis, impaired oxygenation and depressed ventilation. Hypothesis: The investigators assume that both ultrasound guided Modified Pecs Block and combination of Ketamine and Magnesium sulphate infusion can achieve better analgesia in major breast cancer surgery in the form of reducing total amount of intraoperative fentanyl requirement and reducing postoperative morphine requirement and improvement of postoperative VAS scores both at rest and during shoulder movement so we plan this study to evaluate this assumption
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of the sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) as a potential predictor of the skin to epidural space distance (SESD) and to compare its accuracy versus that of the BMI as a previously validated predictor
Stein and Leventhal were the first to recognize an association between the presence of polycystic ovaries and signs of hirsutism and amenorrhea (eg,oligomenorrhea, obesity), After women diagnosed with Stein-Leventhal syndrome underwent successful wedge resection of the ovaries, their menstrual cycles became regular, and they were able to conceive. As a consequence, a primary ovarian defect was thought to be the main culprit, and the disorder came to be known as polycystic ovarian disease.
