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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of a low dose ketamine infusion used in combination of standard of care in critically ill patients to test whether ketamine can help to shorten the time of being in breathing tube and ventilator compared to the standard of care alone.
Cyanoacrylate is used in the manufacturing of surgical adhesives, nail glue and super glue. After contact with cotton or wool, among other substances, a reaction is ignited, inflicting thermal damage to the skin underlying clothes. Nine papers have been published about such an incidence, majority of which involve children. In this paper, a four-year-old girl suffering from mixed-first-and-second degree burns due to cyanoacrylate spillage over the digits, anterior aspect of the right thigh and a patch of the skin on the left upper abdomen, spanning 4% of the total body surface area. The clothes were forcefully removed by the mother and shampoo was applied over the area. In the ER, irrigation with normal saline was done followed by dressing with paraffin- impregnated gauzes and silver sulfadiazine. Volar slabs were placed on the hands. The dressing in the hands was later changed to fusidic acid as the burn healed. Silicone sheet dressing was initiated twenty-eight days later after complete healing of the burned skin. An experiment conducted by the authors showed no difference in the pH of different cyanoacrylate products. The pH was not changed after applying shampoo over the nail glue immersed dip-stick. This paper aims to improve awareness about proper first-aid management which predicts the quality of the outcome. Further emphasis is required on providing a safe environment for the children and clear, comprehendible warning of hazards on the label of the cyanoacrylate based-products.
Pivotal Summary: The study is designed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System. Continued Access Summary: This study is designed to provide continued access to the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Ryzodeg® works in real world patients and to see if Ryzodeg® can lower blood sugar levels. Participants will get Ryzodeg® as prescribed to them by their doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 9 months. Participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their normal doctor's appointment.
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a worldwide prevalent gastrointestinal disorder which has negative impacts on quality of life, health and economy. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of GERD among college students in southwestern Saudi Arabia and to evaluate its personal, academic and stress correlates Materials and Methods: Through a cross-sectional study design, a self-reported questionnaire was distributed between a representative sample of students in health and non-health care colleges in southwestern Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire included data for personal characteristics, academic study, and Arabic versions of GERD questionnaire (GerdQ) and Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale.
The main objective for this study is validation for the proposed risk stratification tool, by evaluating the clinical outcomes for its use post TKR Surgeries. For this objective, the design that is used is Randomized Trial.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ertugliflozin (MK-8835) in pediatric participants with T2DM on metformin with/without insulin. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the addition of ertugliflozin reduces hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) more than the addition of placebo after 24 weeks of treatment.
This study is a longitudinal and prospective study of the natural history of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD).
This study is to determine the effectiveness of Neural mobilization(NM) technique compared with lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) and Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (rESWT) in the physical therapy management of chronic low back pain (CLBP) with radiculopathy. Subjects will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group A (NM, LSE and rESWT) and Group B (LSE and rESWT).
This study assesses the ocular toxicity in patients on high dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as per the latest guidelines of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
