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.
Because the cricoid force in children has not been quantified, clinicians wrongly used the 'adult' force. it has been found that the use of the adult force can result in compression and distortion of the child's airway and can lead to airway obstruction and difficult intubation. Based on known measurements of the cricoid surface area in children, the theoretical forces necessary to occlude the esophageal entrance have been calculated . These forces were found to be much less than the recommended adult force and much less than the forces that distort the airway as reported previously. Based on these theoretical calculations, the current study was performed to determine the effective cricoid force for pediatric groups (group 1 and group 2).
Stoke is a leading cause of disability that results not only in persistent neurological deficits but also profound physical de-conditioning that propagates stroke-related secondary disability. Several kinds of research have reported that there has been asymmetrical weight bearing on the affected side while sitting and standing resulting in impaired performance especially reaching in sitting, rising from the chair, walking, and climbing stairs. Despite the stroke patient being able to walk independently with or without the walking aids, the patient still lacks the normal movement pattern especially weight transfers on the affected side while performing such activities which subsequently decreases the patient to restrain the challenges while walking, decrease confidence in functional activities. Also, further, there hasn't been enough literature on this topic. Therefore, the objective of this study is to find out the effectiveness of multidirectional stepping and weight shifting exercises to improve dynamic balance and gait speed in stroke patients.
Background: Apple watch validity to measure the heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (Spo2) in healthy subjects has been investigated, but its accuracy and validity for patients with chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellites (DM), hyperlipidemia and hypertension (HTN) is still unclear. Patients with chronic diseases as DM, HTN and hyperlipidemia who have hypoxemia are advised to continuously monitor their Spo2. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the accuracy of the Apple watch in measuring the Spo2 and heart rate in patients with chronic diseases. Method: A cross sectional study will invite ninety-five patients with chronic diseases to participate in this study and the eligible participants will be allocated into three groups. The first group (Group-A) will include patients with the DM, the second group (Group-B) will include the patients with HTN and the third group will include patients with hyperlipidemia. All participants will use the apple watch to evaluate the Spo2 against the pulse oximeter at rest. The main outcome will be the Spo2 and heart rate that will be evaluated at rest and before and after exercise for 15 minutes using the Apple watch, Spo2 and Polar HR monitored using the pulse oximeter.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, and controlled trial was to compare the efficacy of single-shot spinal analgesia to typical conventional treatments (continuous epidural analgesia and spinal-epidural combination) in reducing labor pain, particularly in multiparous women. we will enroll in each of the three groups(S group= single-shot Spinal group), (E group= Continuous Epidural), and (C group = combined spinal-epidural) women in advanced active labor and fulfill inclusion criteria.
The current study aimed to determine the appropriate exercise intensity for the rehabilitation of children with down syndrome.
OBJECTIVE: To find and compare the effects of isokinetic training and virtual reality training on pain intensity, trunk muscle strength, radiographical (muscle cross-sectional area and muscle thickness), and biochemical effects in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients.
Impaired motor function and upper extremity spasticity are common concerns in patients after stroke. It is essential to plan therapeutic techniques to recover from the stroke. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of myofascial release with the tennis ball on spasticity and motor functions of the upper extremity in patients with chronic stroke.
Considering the treatment landscape with its dynamic algorithms and new approaches of sequencing, it is important to identify patient management patterns and survival outcomes arising from the current standard of care. Based on all these considerations, this multicountry, multicentre, noninterventional, real-world, retrospective study is designed to describe the management patterns, clinical characteristics, possible predictors, and survival outcomes in patients with unresectable HCC. The results of this study might help oncologists in optimal patient selection and sequencing of the systemic therapies.
This study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of VTE prophylaxis for 3 modality regimens (Unfractionated heparin 5000 U SQ q8 hours, Enoxaparin 40 mg SQ q24 hours or Enoxaparin 30 mg SQ q12 hours) in adult patients (≥18 y/o) with severely burn injuries (BSA≥20%) by measuring the bleeding incidence and VTE events.
The main objective was to explore relationship between skinfold measurement at multiple sites, hand grip strength, and trunk muscle strength (flexors and extensors) in healthy participants. Conclusion: There is a moderate association between hand grip strength, T score and trunk muscle strength, evident from the present research. Though no such association was seen for skinfold measurement.
