Filter by:The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the EarlyTect® Bladder Cancer test for bladder cancer among patients with hematuria by comparing it to the results of cystoscopy examinations. The second objective is to compare the clinical performance of EarlyTect® Bladder Cancer test with a NMP22 test and urine cytology test with respect to bladder cancer. By histopathological examination, lesions identified during cystoscopy will be confirmed as malignant or non-malignant by histological examination.
This research is about modification during routine cystoscopy (scope in the bladder) procedure [ experimental research ]. The goal of the study is to evaluate patient experience with cystoscopy by using procedural modification to reduce pain perception. The investigator aim for quality improvement of the current methods of cystoscopy to achieve a better patient experience.
Renal autotransplantation (RAT) is a method of removing a kidney from its place of origin in a patient, repairing it, and transplanting it in another location of the body, generally the iliac fossa of the same patient.RAT is a relatively new technique; the first ever RAT procedure in the US was performed in 1963. Advances in preservation and transplantation techniques have made RAT a modality that can be utilized in complex renal diseases. RAT is indicated for conditions such as renal vascular disease, nutcracker syndrome, pelvic venous congestion, pelvic trauma, refractory stone disease and, in some cases, loin pain hematuria syndrome and conventionally unresectable renal tumors. Irrespective of the excellent outcomes shown by RAT, the conventional open approach requires a large midline xiphoid-to-pubis or flank incision for donor nephrectomy with a second pelvic incision for renal transplantation into the iliac fossa.The current gold standard approach to RAT is a laparoscopic nephrectomy followed by open auto-transplantation. However, this approach still requires a large pelvic incision. Robotic technology enables us to perform more complex minimally invasive surgery. Gordon et al. performed and reported the first completely intracorporeal robotic RAT to repair a ureteral injury in 2014.
In this study, investigators aim to determine the true positivity of bladder cancer identified in the bladder base, trigone or neck on ultrasonography (USG) in patients presenting with hematuria or lower urinary tract symptoms, by confirming with the gold standard cystoscopy and biopsy results. It also aims to explore criteria that would allow to differentiate between intravesical prostate protrusion (IPP) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder cancer indicated at the bladder floor, trigone and neck by evaluating false positive results.
The research team will evaluate the effectiveness of an InBasket Results message that prompts providers to place appropriate follow up orders.
This study takes place in the Divisions of Nephrology. Patients undergoing renal biopsy were randomized to control group or multimedia information intervention group. The control group received routine care, and the multimedia information intervention group received a multimedia information. After the pre-test, the two groups performed the 1 to 3 post-tests on pre-operation, post-operative day 1 and post-operative day 9. This study used questionnaires that including General Self-Efficacy Scale, Pain Visual Analogy Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety, and Positive and Negative Affective Scale.
Prospective observational study to validate the performance characteristics and clinical utility of Cxbladder tests in a Veterans Affairs cohort.
A study looking at the feasibility of doing a full-scale RCT that investigates the use of tranexamic acid intravesically prior to continuous bladder irrigation treatment in the emergency department for urinary retention due to clots. We want to know: - patient experience and acceptability of the intervention - study procedures (recruitment, site appropriateness, staff engagement) - safety data - identify resource use
Loin Pain Hematuria Syndrome (LPHS) is a poorly understood, painful and incapacitating condition that typically afflicts young women and was first described in 1967. Currently, the treatment for LPHS is opioid prescription and in some extreme cases, surgical denervation of the nociceptive impulses with renal auto transplantation and auto nephrectomy. Radiofrequency nerve ablation is a minimally invasive alternative to opiate therapy, auto-transplantation and nephrectomy in LPHS. In the investigators' previous exploratory pre/post single centre studies, the investigators showed promising results with regards to pain relief, mood, disability and quality of life post procedure. As these initial studies were neither blinded nor randomized, improvements in pain and quality of life scores owing to a placebo effect cannot be ruled out ; hence, to rule out any cause-effect relation between treatment and outcome, selection-bias, influences the investigators intend to conduct a double-blinded, parallel group, sham-controlled, randomized controlled trial (RCT). The present study is designed to assess the feasibility of conducting a large scale randomized control trial. Study Hypothesis: In the present study the investigators hypothesize that the recruitment, intervention, measurement and trial procedures will be feasible and acceptable, thus allowing to proceed with a full randomized control trial
Our goal is to develop a noninvasive, fast and simple assay to detect BCa on the GeneXpert system and metablomic genes.
