There are about 256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. 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.
In this study, the investigators will make the only upper flap either from the internal limiting membrane or from the epiretinal membrane to cover the full thickness macular hole.
Autologous blood for primary and recurrent holes
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting more than 25% of the population . Knee OA is an insidious disease related to structural changes in the joint over many years. Progressive articular damage results in a loss of the extracellular matrix of cartilage in addition to changes in subchondral bone. Duloxetine, a selective serotonin, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, it seems to be effective in treating neuropathic and chronic pain conditions.
Considering observational studies that suggested a relationship between acutely ill medical patients and venous thromboembolism (VTE), interventional studies with anticoagulant medications indicated a marked decline in VTE during and after hospitalization. Despite the therapeutic value of lowering this result, there is a low inclination to utilize anticoagulants in patients hospitalized for acute medical diseases. This observational research aims to assess the appropriateness of venous thromboprophylaxis offered to patients admitted to internal medicine wards.
Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare hematologic malignancy. Despite recent advances, at present there is no consensus on the optimal treatment of BPDCN. The optimal therapy of disease remains to be determined, and due to the rarity of cases, there is a need for international collaboration to collect data on BPDCN clinical presentations, diagnostics, treatment regimens and outcomes. Therefore, the objectives of this study are: (1) to build a large database of patients with BPDCN, (2) to investigate the characteristics and outcome of the disease with different treatment regimens, (3) to evaluate prognostic factors, and (4) to generate data-based prospective treatment recommendations.
the main aim of the study is to evaluate the secondary implant stability when using dental implants with injectable platelet rich fibrin accompanied by non-autogenous bone graft material in narrow ridge cases versus straightforward ridges , in clinical comparative study.
The general objective of the project is to assess whether a violence de-escalating training for health professionals and of a publicly displayed Code of Conduct (a set of rules developed through a citizen science and co-design approach) for both health professionals and clients at the level of the health facility, can reduce the incidence and severity of episodes of violence, and to identify the most cost-effective way to implement these interventions in rural Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in the mega city of Baghdad, Iraq.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease results is destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth and ultimately tooth loss. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process comprises of series of events that influence a polarized epithelial cell to undergo molecular/morphological changes leading to acquisition of mesenchymal cell phenotype. This process is responsible for suppressing epithelial-phenotype and it is known to be triggered by chronic exposure to inflammatory cytokines, Gram-negative bacteria, hypoxia, smoking, and hyperglycemia. Both periodontitis and EMT share common risk factors/promoters; however, the role of EMT in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is not fully elucidated yet. Potential induction of EMT within periodontal pockets may disrupt epithelial barrier thus facilitating invasion of pathogenic periodontal pathogens to deeper tissues resulting in further tissue breakdown and non-resolving periodontal lesion.
To assess the efficacy and safety of the Ginkgo biloba extract in patients with Knee OA.
This study will be done to compare the effectiveness of using coaxial tubular superelastic nickel-titanium and copper-nickel-titanium archwires during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment regarding alignment efficiency, pain perception, and root resorption.
