The study involves adult subject requiring colonic anastomosis following laparoscopic intra-corporeal surgery. The anastomosis will be performed by using nitinilclip by the LapCAC device instead of staplers. Endpoints: safety-Functioning secured anastomosis and no occurrence of adverse event related to device use. The efficacy endpoint of this study includes clinical evaluation of characteristic parameters related to intestinal surgeries. Discharge day (or ready-for-discharge) Proven anastomotic leak rate (clinically or radiological) Stenosis / stricture at anastomosis Patient recovery level will be assessed every day during hospitalization and in the follow up visits.
Mesenchymal stem cells are found in bone marrow, and have the ability to differentiate into different tissue types. The primary objective of the study is to examine the safety of using such cells to treat patients suffering from distal tibial shaft fractures. The cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow, loaded onto a carrier and implanted locally at the fracture site.
the use of a herbal formulation containing sage, echinacea,lavender and mastic gum would prevent oral malodor if delivered in an appropriate delivery system to enable slow release of the active ingredients.
To evaluate the efficacy of Viagra dose titration to 100mg versus 50mg in men with erectile dysfunction, based on responses to the IIEF questionnaire as measured at the beginning and at the end of double blind treatment, comparing the group titrated to 100mg vs. the group maintained on 50mg.

Healthy toddlers (age 9-18 month) following a routine blood count will be placed in three groups: 1. Iron deficiency with no anemia 2. anemia 3. no anemia and no iron deficiency Following a nutritional questionnaire, parents of all toddlers will receive instruction regarding appropriate nutrition in the 2nd year of life. Groups 1 and 2 will randomly receive one of two preparations currently in use for treatment of iron deficiency in Israel (Aktiron 35 - Ferrous gluconate and Ferripel-3 - iron polysaccharide complex). Followup blood count will be taken 3 month after recruitment. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Iron preparations regarding compliance and efficacy. The hypothesis is that a significant difference will be detected between the two preparations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of an early supervised aerobic exercise program for patients following a minor ischemic stroke.
Eligible patients will be post-menopausal hormone receptor- and lymph node-positive females who recently underwent primary surgery for breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to letrozole (2.5 mg per day for 5 years) vs anastrozole (1 mg per day for 5 years). Follow up will occur for 5 years after the completion of enrollment for survival and disease status updates.
