There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the appropriate controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol in good prognosis patients undergoing IVF treatment. The stimulation characteristics of cycles which include ultrashort flare GnRH agonist combined with flexible multidose GnRH antagonist will be compared to the flexible multidose GnRH antagonist protocol. The investigators hypothesized that combining the stimulatory effect of GnRH agonists and immediate suppression of the GnRH antagonist in a unique protocol may be a valuable new COH strategy for IVF patients, resulting in improved ART outcome.
Background: The incidence of breech presentation in pregnant women is 4%. The situation can be treated by two methods. The first is a version of the fetus from breech presentation to head presentation, which can be performed in several ways, such as, an action called EXTERNAL CEPHALIC VERSION as well as the Knee-Chest position by the pregnant mother and the second is a cesarean section. In this study we wish to investigate if the Knee-Chest position is as effective as the ECV action and as a result to decrease the need for ECV. Hypotheses: According to our assumption, the Knee-Chest position can reduce the need for the ECV action. Objectives: Investigate whether daily Knee-Chest position is as effective as ECV. Methods: The investigators will conduct a "randomized clinical trial" study. Every pregnant woman in a breech presentation with a singleton between weeks 28-32 will be randomly assigned into one of two groups. In the first group the women will perform daily the Knee-Chest position between weeks 32-37. In week 37 the investigators will check via ultra sound if there was a successful version (if not, the woman would go to ECV) in the second group we will perform ECV without doing maternal Knee-Chest position before. Every woman will fill a questionnaire which includes gynecological history and details regarding the degree of persistence and performance of the activity. At the end of this process the investigators will analyze the results and will come to the conclusions. Significance: With ECV there are number of risks and complications such as fetal distress, placental abruption, rupture of membrane, amniotic fluid embolism or damage to the uterus. The frequency of these complications is 1%-2%. If it is discovered that the Knee-Chest position is effective as the ECV action, the investigators will recommend every patient to persist with this position and avoid the ECV action and the risks it entails.
The study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of monthly injections of Omalizumab 150 mg for 3 consecutive months, in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria, unresponsive to convetional therapy by antihistamins or oral corticosteroids.
The investigators predict that giving patients paracetamol in the operative period will reduce their need for opioid pain reducers in the post operative setting.
Intervention aimed at improving understanding of irony in social situations by using movies and comic strip will improve theory of mind.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether end-of-life training of ICU professionals leads to improvements in ICU care process, teamwork and family satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether minimal ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization is superior to high dose stimulation. Number of mature eggs, number of embryos as well as pregnancy rates will be compared.
Insulin replacement therapy is absolutely required for patients with Type 1 diabetes. The insulin pump provides for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), which can approximate the insulin release patterns of the normal pancreas. Timely and accurate knowledge of ambient glucose levels is important for insulin dose adjustments. Typically, glucose values are measured volitionally, several times a day, using capillary "fingerstick" samples. In addition, glucose in the interstitial fluid can be measured automatically and continuously using implantable glucose oxidase-based sensors. Recent study showed that this continuous measurement of glucose levels allows for a fully automated "closed-loop" insulin replacement therapy which requires an algorithm that receives glucose data, calculates an appropriate insulin dose, and directs the pump to deliver the insulin dose.The need for development of a closed-loop insulin replacement system that integrates insulin delivery, glucose measurement, and control subsystems will present several challenges to biomedical engineers.
To evaluate the effect of Bariatric surgery on the extent of liver fat and liver fibrosis and on different metabolic parameters in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate, in a prospective cross-over, randomized study, the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on patients with chronic impairment after low grade glioma tumor removal surgery
