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 study explores a multi-component heat strain prevention program for older agricultural workers in response to climate change. It assesses hydration, rest breaks, reflective clothing, and shade provision. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, it targets 120 elderly workers, evaluating core temperature, heart rate, and heat strain symptoms. The goal is to establish the program's effectiveness in safeguarding worker health and safety amidst increasing temperatures, offering evidence-based recommendations for this vulnerable group and potentially other occupations affected by climate change.

Peroral endoscopic esophagel myotomy (POEM) is a third space endoscopy technique that depends on creating a submucosal tunnel to expose the esophageal muscle and eventually perform an esophageal myotomy. Submucosal dissection can be performed using numerous electrosurgical modes. Spray coagulation has been anecdotally favored by many endoscopists due to its high coagulation power and assumed safety. Recently, Precisect mode has been developed, it has theoretical advantages of very minimal tissue penetration and minimal to no charring effect. In this trial, the investigators compare the efficacy and safety of both electrosurgical modes in POEM procedures.
Modified Radical Mastectomy accounts for 31% of all breast surgeries and considered the fundamental surgical management for breast cancer. Nearly 40-60% of patients experience severe acute postoperative pain. This pain might persist for 6-12 months and result in post-mastectomy pain syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome (causalgia)
Total laryngectomy with bilateral block neck dissection is considered one of the major head and neck surgeries. Intraoperative bleeding is considered a risk factor for this operation specially that the population of this operation are elder with multiple comorbidities. Intravenous administration of tranexamic acid reduces bleeding during surgery.We design this study aiming to prove the role of topical tranexamic acid in controlling the intraoperative bleeding in patients undergoing total laryngectomy operation avoiding the risk of intravenous administration.
This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacies of the modified pectoral plane block (PECS II) and the midpoint transverse process to pleura block (MTP), after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) surgery during the first 24 hour post-operatively by using the Visual Analogue Scale.
For the treatment of numerous biliary and pancreatic problems, the procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is regarded as a crucial therapeutic intervention. However, ERCP is known to be connected to a variety of issues, including post-ERCP sepsis. This study's goal is to investigate the relationship between unexplained hypotension during or just after surgery and the emergence of sepsis after ERCP.
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is indicated in a wide variety of clinical conditions including atrial fibrillation (AF), mechanical valve prosthesis (MVP), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Although direct OAC has replaced vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in non-valvular AF due to lower bleeding risk, it's still recommended to use VKA specifically in cases of valvular AF, MVP and anti-phospholipid syndrome. VKA has a narrow therapeutic range and multiple drug interactions causing unpredicted pharmacodynamics. This requires regular monitoring of the international normalized ratio (INR) level to ensure it's in the target therapeutic range and prevent extreme values that may result in thrombo-embolic events or sometimes fatal bleeding. Self-INR monitoring and management have emerged recently as a safe cost-effective alternative to standard management, with evidence of tighter control of INR, reduction of thrombo-embolic events, and improving treatment-related quality of life. However, there are no specific criteria for patient selection. Whether the level of education and other social factors would affect the outcomes of self-management is still not clear. Owing to the wide geographical area served by Aswan Heart Center, many patients have to cover long distances to follow up their INR and seek medical advice regarding adequate dose modification. This may result in reluctance and non-compliance to clinic visits and INR testing. Proper education, training and providing an alternative near place to measure the INR and self-adjust warfarin dose is expected to improve patient adherence and compliance.
The regional lymph node status is considered to be an important prognostic factor regarding the long-term survival of breast cancer (BC) patients (Cetin IA, et al . 2020). The knowledge of whether lymph nodes are tumor-infiltrated or not is essential since nodal involvement has decisive therapeutic consequences such as axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), axillary radiotherapy, and neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic chemotherapy (Diessner J et al . 2023). To provide individualized therapeutic options and optimized therapy.
Background: An optimal international standard for PAS surgery is not yet available, and the establishment of a suitable surgical method is an important focus of in PAS management. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of tourniquet uses for conservative approach in the management of placenta accerta spectrum. Patients and Methods: 40 pregnant women who underwent conservative management of placenta accrete at Kasr El-Aini hospital (Obstetrics and gynecology department - Faculty of medicine - Cairo university) were included and were divided according to the use of tourniquet into 2 equal groups: Study group (tourniquet group): consists of 20 women for whom tourniquet was used in the lower part of the uterus during surgical treatment of placenta accreta spectrum.Control group (no tourniquet group): consists of 20 women for whom no tourniquet was used.
