NCT ID: NCT02991963 Recruiting - Epidemiology Clinical Trials

Epidemiology of Malaria in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is an observational study (case-control study) aiming to identify risk factors for malaria infection in health centers or malaria posts or district hospitals in Buntharik District and Nachalui District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand. This study expects to recruit 330 cases (malaria positive) and 330 control (negative cases) subject. One-to-one matching of cases (malaria positive) and controls (malaria negative) will be done at each study site. CASE (Malaria positive) subject will go through the following; 1. Enrollment visit (Day 0) 1.1 Blood collection of three dried blood spots, and malaria slide. In district hospitals in individuals >14 kg: additional 10ml venous blood will be collected. 1.2 A survey questionnaire which includes patient demographics, information on malaria treatment, bed net use and possible risk factors for acquiring malaria, as well as questions about their travel and usage of mobile phones will be administered. 2. Follow up visits (if fever plus Day 42 (+/-3)) 2.1 Blood collection of three dried blood spots and malaria slide. In district hospitals: additional 0.5ml venous blood will be collected. 2.2 Short survey questionnaire including questions on symptoms, travel and possible risk behaviors since enrollment will be administered. CONTROL (Malaria negative) subject will go through the following; 1. Enrollment visit (Day 0) 1.1 Blood collection to confirm negative malaria slide. In district hospitals: additional 0.5ml venous blood will be collected. 1.2 A survey questionnaire including patient demographics, information on any recent malaria treatment they may have taken, bed net use and possible risk factors for acquiring malaria, as well as questions about their travel and usage of mobile phones will be administered. 2. Follow up visit: No follow up visit

NCT ID: NCT02990429 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypothermia; Anesthesia

Forced Air and Intravenous Fluid Warmers in Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery

Start date: April 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem. It has been defined as a core temperature below 36ºC. The reasons why patient undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery has perioperative hypothermia because the reduced metabolic heat production, redistribution of heat from the core to the periphery and impaired thermoregulation (due to anesthetics), use of cool carbon dioxide gas insufflations and surgical irrigation solution, as well as heat loss due to the cool environment. This perioperative problem has been linked to adverse patient outcomes such as myocardial ischemia as hypothermia increases plasma catecholamine, surgical site infection as hypothermia diminishes wound tissue O2 tension and coagulopathy as hypothermia impairs platelet function. It claims that perioperative heat loss occurs by radiation (60%), convection (25%) and evaporation (10%). This is caused by the difference between peripheral body and ambient temperature, air circulation around the body and vasodilatation. In daily practice, most anesthesia personnel warm patient peri-operatively by using force air warmer and intravenous fluid warmer. This study aimed to compare the difference of core and room temperature in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery by using forced air and intravenous fluid warmer

NCT ID: NCT02988583 Completed - Clinical trials for Retinal Detachment Rhegmatogenous

Emulsification of Different Viscosity Silicone Oil After Complicated Retinal Detachment Surgery

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Silicone oil has been used as a surgical tool in complicated retinal detachment surgery. There are some complications occurring in pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade. Silicone oil emulsification is one of the complication that may result in severe sequels that are difficult to treat. It is believed that low viscosity silicone oil has more risk to develop emulsification than high viscosity silicone oil. Up to now, however, there is no conclusive guideline that which types of silicone oil is suitable for these complicated retinal detachment surgeries and what is the appropriate time to remove the oil. This prospective study aims to study the silicone oil emulsification comparing between low viscosity and high viscosity silicone oil after complicated retinal detachment surgery.

NCT ID: NCT02982031 Completed - Clinical trials for Lumbar Plexus Blockade

A Comparison of Visualization Between Shamrock Technique and Paramedian Transverse Scan in Lumbar Plexus Blockade

Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study was to compare ultrasound visibility of the lumbar plexus at the intertransverse space between paramedian transverse scan and shamrock technique. Moreover obtaining a clear image of relevant structures is imperative. Thus, the secondary objective was to assess ultrasound visibility of each relevant structure and overall visibility between these two methods.
