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.
Sputum production increases in acute exacerbation of COPD, both in amount and consistency. It increases airways obstruction and hence delays improvement and prolongs hospital stay. oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices were extensively studied in cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Only seldom studied in chronic bronchitis. This study aims to measure the effects of mucous clearing device in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD.
Lidocaine Infusion On Hysteroscopic Media Versus Oral Diclofinac For Pain Relief During Outpatient Hysteroscopy. A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Preterm birth is defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation .it occurs in 11.1%of birth globally affecting an estimated 14.9 million babies every year . It is generally accepted that approximately 65%-70%of preterm births are spontaneous,40%-45% of them due to spontaneous preterm labor and 25%-30%following preterm rupture of membranes.preterm birth represents the single largest cause of morbidity and mortality for newborn and is estimated for 29%of deaths in the first four weeks of life and also is estimated for of major cause of morbidity for pregnant women . Tocolytic agents include a wide range of drugs that can slow or suppress uterine contractions . Tocolytic are considered advantages in spontaneous preterm labor to : (a) allow time for the fetus to mature ,potentially avoiding deleterious effects of pre-maturity . (b)allow time for antenatal corticosteroids to be administered and have clinical effect. (c) allow time for intrauterine transfer to higher-care center where neonatal intensive care facilities are available . the ideal Tocolytic agent should be effective , easy to administer , without significant material ,fetal or neonatal side effects and permit time for antenatal corticosteroids to be administered and take effect . a variety of Tocolytic treatments have been used to inhibit uterine activity in women in spontaneous preterm labor , including betamimetics , calcium channel blockers , magnesium sulfate , prostaglandin inhibitors and oxytocin receptor antagonists however there is considerable global variation in types , doses and regimens of tocolytic agents uses to manage preterm labor . A comparison study between Ritodrine, magnesium sulfate and Nifedipine in terms of effect and morbidity will be conducted.
It is Correlation Between Body Mass Index and Gonadotrophin Secretions in Pcos Patients and Their Effect on Ivf Outcome
This study aims to compare the antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects of Atorvastatin versus Magnesium Sulfate after Cardiac valve Replacement Surgery
A total of 60 women pregnant more than 28 weeks gestation will be recruited from obstetric outpatient clinic (faculty of medicine -Cairo University Hospital) after being diagnosed of having placenta previa or low lying placenta by grey scale ultrasound. Placenta will be reexamined by grey scale ultrasound & color Doppler. Sonographic parameters evaluated will include placental location, loss of retro-placental clear zone, irregularity and thickness of the uterine-placental interface, the smallest myometrial thickness in sagittal and transverse planes, presence of lacunar spaces and bridging vessels & the presence of abnormal vasculature. The sonographic findings will be compared with intraoperative ones. Hysterectomy specimen (if any was done) will be evaluated histo-pathologically to assess the degree of placental invasion & to confirm the accreta status. The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound in predicting operative findings and associated co-morbidties among cases of placenta accreta.
Several regional anesthesia have been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in many studies. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block provides anesthesia to the abdominal wall by introducing local anesthetic to the anterior rami of the spinal nerve roots. This work evaluates the analgesic effects gained after performing thoracolumbar interfacial plane block (analogous to the TAP block but intended for the back) which targets the sensory component of the dorsal rami of the thoracolumbar nerves in patients undergoing back surgeries.
To detect accuracy of serology in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint arthritis.
The aim of the study is to compare maxillary obturator versus submental artery flap after partial maxillectomy in the aspect of Quality of life outcomes.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) among patients with reduced myocardial function remains a surgical challenge despite improvement in surgical technique, myocardial protection and postoperative care. Such cases are considered as high risk and associated with a higher peri-operative mortality than those with normal left ventricular function (LVF). Patients with low EF are at higher risks of sudden death, ventricular arrhythmia, and worsening heart failure due to recurrent ischemia. Therefore,early recognition of patients at risk for a worse outcome plays a pivotal role in the decision making process, allowing the prompt institution of an adequate support.
