There are about 1320 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Saudi Arabia. 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 accordance with the regulatory guidance this registry has been designed to collect information about the long-term safety of Adempas in real clinical practice outside the regulated environment of a controlled clinical study.
Decreased cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) was reported to occur during insufflation for laparoscopic procedures due to increased Intracranial pressure (ICP) with resultant decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure.
whether Nilotinib at the two sequential dosage forms will induce quicker and deeper response in those patients, and if FISH on PB (Peripheral blood) would be an effective way to monitor response compared to conventional cytogenetics on bone marrow (BM) sample
Saudi Arabia has been named by the International Diabetes Federation as among the top ten countries with highest prevalence of diabetes. Women are said to have overall prevalence twice that for men. With high birth rate in the country we decided to look at the impact of diabetic pregnancies on their off-springs
The purpose of this study is to describe patterns in disease management and to describe clinical outcomes, as well as to identify factors influencing physician treatment decisions including reason(s) for treatment choices and trigger(s) for treatment changes and to document healthcare resource utilization used to manage treatment-related complications.
Early identification of patients at risk for cardiotoxicity represent a primary goal for cardiologist and oncologist From all adjuvant trials echocardiography is ideal for evaluating Left Ventricular function though its operator dependent. The use of other technique such as endomyocardial biopsy, is troublesome in clinical practice Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have greater reproducibility in evaluating left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This technique provides morphological, functional, perfusion, and viability information in one assessment. It is expensive and time consuming but id the diagnostic method of choice for patients with technically limited images from ECG and in patients with discordant information that is clinically significant from prior tests
Narrowing of coronary arteries interferes with blood flow and can cause chest pain. But patients may have more than one narrowing and studies have shown that not all narrowings need to be treated. To identify the narrowings that need treating cardiologists sometimes quantify the extent of the narrowing by measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR, the ratio of the pressure in the aorta to the pressure downstream of the narrowing).This technique requires the administration of drugs that add cost and time to the procedure and in some countries are simply unavailable. As a result despite the clear health and healthcare costs benefits of FFR its use is limited to less than 5% of procedure. We have developed a new technique called the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) that does not require the administration of drugs for its accurate assessment. It has been approved for use in this indication. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes of patients whose treatment has been guided by iFR to those whose treatment has been guided by FFR. If iFR is found to provide the same clinical outcomes as FFR its adoption will permit the clear benefits of this approach of identifying the coronary narrowings that really need treatment to be applicable to a much larger patient population and further improve healthcare costs.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common disease affecting mainly lower limbs leading to significant impact on the quality of life. There is no study, to our knowledge, has attempted to evaluate the impact of compression stockings on all patients with CVI. Our aim is to estimate the prevalence of CVI in Qassim Region and to test the effectiveness of compression stockings.
Enrollment of patients in CR may be impacted by their levels of awareness and attitude toward participation. Our study aims at assessing the awareness and willingness to participate in CR and identifying the barriers and influencing factors for participation. A cross-sectional study was performed using an interview-based questionnaire composed of close-ended questions conducted by trained research coordinators. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analyses were applied.
This research is being done so that we can look at the safety and efficacy of deferiprone in people with sickle cell disease or other anemias. Deferiprone is a drug that removes iron from the body. We will be comparing deferiprone with deferoxamine, another drug that removes iron from the body.
