There are about 10930 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.
Cognitive technology therapies, including interactive video gaming, computer soft wares and mobile technology, have been used to implement cognitive training and rehabilitation programs. Potential advantages to using technology-based interventions include enhanced accessibility and cost-effectiveness, providing a user experience to be good communicator, immersive and comprehensive.
This study hypothesize that injecting calcium chloride (CaCl2) into the major atrial ganglionated plexus (GPs) during on pump Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) can reduce the incidence of Post operative Atrial fibrillation in the first 7 days after surgery.The study is designed to be prospective interventional study two armed RCT for on pump CABG patient. The intervention arm will be injected with Calcium chloride in the four major atrial ganglionic plexus The control arm will be injected with sodium chloride to determine the effect of Calcium chloride on Post CABG Atrial fibrillation
The epidemic of overweight and obesity presents a major challenge to chronic disease prevention and health across the life course around the world. [1] Bariatric surgery has proved to be an efficient intervention in the management of obesity. As a result, the number of post-bariatric surgery patients in the population is growing [2]. Postoperative analgesia presents various challenges in vulnerable patient groups suffering from obesity. With the high potential risk of respiratory depression and postoperative pulmonary complications associated with opioid use, such as atelectasis and pneumonia, the availability of other pain management modalities is essential [14]. Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a regional anesthesia technique where local anesthetic agent is injected deep to the erector spinae muscle to fascial plane and allowed to diffuse caudally and cranially. It is supposed to provide both visceral and somatic abdominal analgesia [3]. ESPB is effective, easy to perform, and can be performed in a short time. [4] It has been shown efficacy in different conditions such as thoracic surgery, trauma, cardiac surgery, breast surgery, and abdominal surgery [5]. However, the main concern with the ESPB block is feasibility together with the potency of the block in challenging populations, such as patients suffering from obesity. Peripheral nerve blocks in the obese may pose challenges, like difficulties in proper patient positioning and landmark identification. However, Ultrasound guidance may help overcome many difficulties in regional techniques. But as expected, targets are more deeply situated in obese patients and the ultrasound beams are attenuated as they travel a greater distance through tissue layers. Additionally, when crossing a tissue boundary, a portion is reflected back to the transducer creating artifacts like speckling and clutter which are particular problems in the obese patient. [15] Few studies examined the use of ESPB in bariatric surgery [3,6,7], all indicating potential benefits of the technique in terms of opioid sparing and pain control. To date, the efficacy of ESPB has not been examined in superobese patient. So we aim to compare the perioperative analgesic effect of bilateral ultrasound-guided ESPB with controls, Local bupivacaine infiltration to the trocar sites, in super obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery We hypothesis that ESBP provides good applicable modality of perioperative analgesia for superobese patients undergoing bariatric surgeries.
Many studies discussed attenuating stress response by various measures but to the interest of our study , No one compared topical spray of both lidocaine and dexmedetomidine in attenuating the haemodynamic stress responses of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, avoiding undesired systemic effects of drugs ,
This study was conducted on 40 eligible fibromyalgia patients with sleep disorders. They were randomized to have 20 sessions of active or sham rTMS (1 Hz, 120% of resting motor threshold with total 1200 pules /session) over the right dorsolateral prefrontal area (DLPFC) for 5 sessions/week for 4 weeks. All participants were subjected to baseline evaluation with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, polysomnography, sleep quality and sleep characteristics assessment using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and The Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale respectively.FM patients were reevaluated at 1, 3 months after the end of rTMS sessions.
The process of dental caries is dynamic and can be either reversible or irreversible depending on the balance between protective and pathologic factors in the oral cavity. Untreated dental caries causes pulpal injury, inflammation, and necrosis. Melatonin plays an essential role in the regulation of bone growth. The actions that melatonin exerts on odontoblasts may be similar to its action on osteoblasts.
The aim of the study to compare and evaluate the effect of septal advancement flap in preserving and reshaping the nasal tip with columellar strut graft
Patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty can benefit significantly from regional anesthesia in terms of pain management and recovery . There is a wide range of regional anesthetic techniques. The most common in this anatomical region and those with the greatest published research are fascia iliac block, lumbar plexus block, and femoral nerve block . Alternative methods include lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and selective obturator nerve infiltration blocks. Novel techniques, including local infiltration analgesia and quadratus lumborum block, have been reported. While femoral nerve and lumbar plexus blocks are two common opioid-sparing regional anesthetic procedures that are successful, they come with a risk of undesired lower limb muscle weakness . On the other hand, the fascia iliac block does not always offer sufficient pain relief following hip surgery. The important landmarks targeted on the hip joint branches from the femoral nerve and the auxiliary obturator nerve may now be identified thanks to a recent anatomical study on hip innervation . This led to the discovery of a novel localized anesthetic treatment termed pericapsular nerve group block (PENG), which blocks these nerves to target the hip's anterior capsule. The PENG block has been suggested as a successful motor-sparing block for hip hemiarthroplasty . The objective of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy of the pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) for the reduction of opioid consumption and management of postoperative pain after hip hemiarthroplasty.
Comparative study used to assess if the patient specific zirconia implant will provide better accuracy, intraoperative adaptability, precise orbital volume and soft tissue reaction with more cost effectiveness than the patient specific titanium implants in orbital floor reconstruction after blow out fractures .
The aim of the work to compare the Sedative Effects of Dexmedetomidine and Propofol during peribulbar anesthesia in patients undergoing vitrectomy surgery on hemodynamic, respiratory parameters, recovery profile, analgesic effects, post-operative cognitive function, patients satisfaction and adverse events.
