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.
All women admitted for surgical evacuation of missed abortion after failure of medical treatment from June 2016 underwent transvaginal sonography immediately after completion of the procedure as judged by the operator to ensure absence of remnants.
This study aim to assess the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to gray-scale and colour Doppler ultrasound (US) for the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta.
The study included 100 female diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. They were classified into 2 groups: Study group included 50 women will receive 300.000 I.U single dose of Vitamin D intramuscular injection (Memphis company) , and in the next menstrual cycle induction done by clomiphen citrate 100mg daily for 5 days starting from third day of menstruation and HMG single dose on 8th day . Control group included 50 women will receive only clomiphen citrate 100mg daily for 5 days starting from third day of menstruation and HMG single dose on 8th day. Serum 25 hydroxy Vitamin D3, Serum Leptin and FSH will be done to all women before and after intervention.
Supraglottic airway devices (SGAs) are very commonly used during anesthesia but structural vulnerability to airway morbidity and issues about cuff pressure still concern anesthesiologists. There have been controversial results regarding optimal intra-cuff pressure in various types of cuffed supraglottic airways. When the supraglottic cuff pressure is more than the mucosal perfusion pressure, it is likely to either cause postoperative pharyngo-laryngeal symptoms like sore throat (dysphagia, dysphonia) or cause local mucosal trauma and nerve injuries. Supraglottic airway devices with non-inflatable cuff have advantages in omitting the cuff pressure monitoring and reducing potential pharyngo-laryngeal complications. Self-pressurizing Air Q blocker is the latest version. It has a drain tube through which a suction tube is passed. There is an inflatable cuff at the end of this tube. On inflation, the cuff seals the esophageal opening into the stomach, preventing any regurgitation of stomach contents. Instead of the pilot balloon and inflating cuff, the air-Q SP with blocker has a communication orifice at the junction of the peri-glotic cuff and the airway tube. This communication between two spaces enables the cuff to dynamically regulate intra-cuff pressure depending on airway pressure. This distinguishing feature of the air-Q SP may result in reduced risk for airway morbidities related to cuff hyperinflation. The Baska mask is a novel supraglottic airway device with a non-inflatable cuff, an oesophageal drainage inlet and side channels to facilitate aspiration of gastric contents, and an integrated bite-block. It was revealed that the baska mask is relatively easy to insert, provided a high-quality seal with the glotic aperture and the incidence of throat discomfort appeared low. To our knowledge, and after searching in previous literature, no previous studies have compared the Air-Q SP with blocker with Baska mask; another supraglottic airway devices with non-inflatable cuff.
pathologically proved ovarian cancer patients that underwent contrast enhanced abdomino-pelvic CT and diagnostic laparoscopy before cytoreductive surgery (CRS) will be included in the study. Calculation of PCI (peritoneal cancer index) using Sugarbaker's method, peritoneal carcinomatosis extent will be categorized into low, moderate and large. Agreement in general and in each category between CT, laparoscopy, surgery and pathology will be assessed using kappa agreement.
Threatened miscarriage occurs in about one-fifth of pregnancies with an estimated miscarriage rate of 3-16% after successful demonstration of fetal cardiac activity. Various biochemical markers have been studied previously to predict the outcome of threatened miscarriage; However, the results have been conflicting. Several studies have documented that a slow embryonic heart rate at 6.0-7.0 Weeks' gestation is associated with a high rate of first trimester fetal demise. our aim: To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound findings in comparison to serum CA125 and progesterone in predicting fetal demise in cases of first trimester threatened miscarriage. Will this pregnancy be continued after the first trimester or not?
Intamural fibroids (myoma) do exist in some infertile women undergoing IVF treatment. There is controversy whether myomectomy before IVF treatment could improve IVF outcome. This trial will examine whether myomectomy in those patients could improve the results.
This is a double blinded randomized clinical trial to study the neuromodulatory effect of tDCS in patients with CTS, the study subject will be randomly into two groups; active and sham group , the active group will receive five sessions of active TDCS over the M1 while the Sham group will receive sham tDCS in which the device will be turned off after 30 seconds. The patient will be assessed by VAS score, Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire , central sensetization inventory , pressure pain threshold, sensory and pain threshold for electerical stimulation before , after the end of the sessions and 4 weeks later.
Ultraslow full-power SWL versus slow power-ramping SWL in Renal stones with high attenuation value
A prospective cross- sectional study will be conducted to implement the Robson Classification to assess, analyze and compare Caesarean section rate of the participating hospital over the period of three months. The Robson implementation manual will be used as a tool guide for the study.
