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.
• Address the accuracy of functional MRI techniques to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy given to local advanced breast cancer patients with correlation with pathology thus allowing early chemotherapy regimen modification to increase number of patients achieving pathological complete response or save patients from toxic effects of ineffective chemotherapy.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus surgery (FESS) is a surgery done for chronic rhinosinusitis after failure of medical treatment. Intraoperative bleeding poses a challenge to both the surgeon and anaesthetist. Although blood loss is not massive during FESS, bleeding may obscure the surgical field prolonging the time of surgery or even leading to incompletion of the surgery. Different methods have been used to improve the surgical field but none without side effects. The use of diathermy carries the risk of local tissue damage with the risk of subsequent bleeding. Local vasoconstrictors carry the risk of systemic absorption. Induced hypotension may not be suitable for all patients; besides, this may necessitates the use of more anaestheic drugs with their associated side effects. In addition, none of theses methods have provided ideal surgical field for the surgeon.1-3 Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, has been used to decrease surgical field bleeding in different surgeries showing effectiveness in its topical, oral and intravenous use.4-6 The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of local, intravenous and combined use of tranexamic acid in improving the surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of endoscopic pre lacrimal recess approach, canine fossa approach and middle meatal antrostomy approach regarding: 1. Assessment of the accessibility of each approach to visualize and reach the different walls and recesses of the maxillary sinus. 2. Any intraoperative or postoperative complications. 3. Any post-operative recurrence or residue detected by endoscopic examination or by MSCT scan.
Hepatic encephalopathy is a syndrome occurs in patients with liver cirrhosis and is defined as neuropsychiatric abnormalities in patients with liver impairment, characterized by personality changes, intellectual impairment, and an impaired level of consciousness. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a necessary cofactor of the mitochondrial metabolism. It provides a High antioxidant and protective effects on age-related morbidities such as hypertension, heart failure and neurodegenerative diseases and hepatoprotective effects in drug related hepatic impairment. Meclofenoxate is a cholinergic nootropic drug used clinically to improve memory, mental function and general cognition.
This study aims at comparing the effects of bilateral ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block versus lumbar epidural block on postoperative analgesia and inflammatory response following major lower abdominal cancer surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of fascia iliaca compartment block using bupivacaine versus bupivacaine with dexamethasone or magnesium sulphate for dynamic hip screw surgery under spinal anesthesia. The primary outcome will be the duration of effective analgesia from FICB till the first analgesic dose is required,the secondary outcomes will be the severity of postoperative pain as will be assessed by the visual analogue scale and the total dose of pethidin for rescue analgesia.
In many cases the bone of the edentulous posterior mandibular regions is atrophied such that sufficiently long fixtures cannot be placed without encroaching on the inferior alveolar nerve so rehabilitation of these regions with severe ridge atrophy represents anatomical, surgical, and biological difficulties, and provides a challenge to the dental surgeon. Several surgical techniques have been employed in an attempt to allow implant placement in these regions. one of these techniques is inferior alveolar nerve transposition or lateralization. The lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve has the advantages of that it allow placement of longer implants which gives better stability,but this technique has the disadvantage of high risk of temporary or permanent inferior alveolar nerve dysfunction. In most of the cases of inferior alveolar nerve lateralization it is directly repositioned on the implant surface or a bone graft is placed in between them. In a previous study on dogs found that presence of a resorbable membrane between the inferior alveolar nerve and the implant surface lead to the formation of a soft tissue zone between them while in the group where no membrane was used there was intimate contact between them.This intimate contact may lead to the dysfunction symptoms,also the intimate contact between the implant threads and the nerve act as a source of chronic irritation. Platelet rich fibrin membrane is a platelet concentrate which allow slow and sustained release of high quantities of growth factors over long period of time thus improves healing of hard and soft tissue and optimizing wound healing. in this study we will assess the effect of platelet rich fibrin membrane on the improvement of the neurosensory disturbances which occur after inferior alveolar nerve lateralization which considered as the main disadvantage of this technique.
To assess whether edoxaban (60/30 mg daily) compared to non-antithrombotic medical therapy (either no antithrombotic therapy or antiplatelet monotherapy) reduces the risk of stroke (composite of ischemic, hemorrhagic and unspecified stroke) in high-risk atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2) patients with previous intracranial hemorrhage.
