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.
Functional neural connectivity at rest of 3 groups (heat tolerant, heat intolerant and healthy subjects) will be assessed using the anatomical and functional MRI scans and compared.
Evaluate real-world experience of HeartMate 3 (HM3) in post-approval setting.
A randomised double blind dose non-inferiority trial of a daily dose of 600mg versus 300mg versus 100mg of enteric coated aspirin as a cancer preventive in carriers of a germline pathological mismatch repair gene defect, Lynch Syndrome. Project 3 in the Cancer Prevention Programme (CaPP3).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab intravenous (IV) treatment compared to adalimumab subcutaneous (SC) treatment over a 52-week treatment period.
Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention. The gold standard test for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is the CT scan. Despite its effectiveness, the test involves exposure to a high dose of radiation. Using ultrasound to diagnose this condition has been described extensively in the medical literature, and this test has a very high specificity (over 95%), however sensitivity of the test is not as good and varies between 40% and 90%. Major limitations of the Ultrasound test include operator dependency as well as factors such as body habitus of the patient, presence of technical disturbances (artifacts) caused by gas in the large intestine and inadequate cooperation from the patient during the exam. All of these factors may affect the ability to detect sonographic signs of appendicitis. The investigators believe that it is possible to reduce the amount of artifacts caused by the presence of gas in the intestine by filling of the colon with liquid suspension that is routinely given in the investigators' hospital before performing an abdominal CT and performing an additional ultrasound scan to those patients in which the initial ultrasound examination (without any preparation) proved to be equivocal or not diagnostic. The target population for the study is any patient who arrives to the emergency room with complaints of right lower quadrant abdominal pain and it is decided by the referring physician in the ER to start diagnostic workup for suspected appendicitis by performing an ultrasound, if the ultrasound exam proves to be equivocal or not diagnostic and it is decided that the patient needs to continue investigation by performing a CT scan, the patient will receive contrast material orally for approximately 180 minutes and prior to the CT the investigators intend to repeat the ultrasound. The investigators hypothesize that the repeat ultrasound will allow a statistically significant improvement in the detection rate of the appendix.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether certain intravitreal injection techniques cause less pain than others and would therefore be beneficial for the patient's well being.
VL#FIA3-30 is a preparation intended for topical use, applied on the penis, for the treatment of ED.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the added value of PET-CT with [18F]FDOPA tracer for Assessment of the Myocardial Sympathetic Denervation in patients with or suspected with Parkinson's disease. The investigators expect to see normal values of uptake ratio of [18F]FDOPA , in patients with no synuclein underline pathology or previously known cardiovascular disease (no history of high blood pressure or take medications that influence the sympathetic system- exclusion criteria). Low values of uptake ratio is presumed to be found in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease or other synuclein pathology. The expected normal ratio of Heart/liver uptake values will be determined from scans of patients refered to [18F]FDOPA scan and were found to have normal [18F]FDOPA scan of the basal ganglia and no cardiovascular diseases.
Examining the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided Pectoral Blocks on analgesic opioid consumption after surgical removal of breast tissue. This study's uniqueness is in the quantification of the analgesic effect of regional anesthesia on its influence to reduce the use of opioid substances, and the variety of side effects associated with them, which has yet to been described in literature.
In this study the investigators would like to evaluate how prelabor analgesic plan and actual labor analgesia effects the labor satisfaction, breastfeeding success, and whether or not it reduces postpartum depression. Although postpartum depression has been researched and reviewed, there is little information on how satisfaction during labor affects postpartum outcomes. The relationship between epidural analgesia is also complex, and there has yet to be found a valid correlation between the two parameters. In addition although an attempt has been made to evaluate relationship between breastfeeding and epidural analgesia, results are unclear and further research is needed.
