Filter by:Kingston General Hospital is committed to upgrading the surgical treatment platform for benign prostate surgery. Vaporization Surgery, either laser-vaporization or electo-vaporization is becoming a "standard" of therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia rather than the traditional transurethral resection of the prostate. However many Canadian hospitals have been slow to adopt an updated program because of evolving competing technology systems as well as unknown cost, efficacy, complication and patient/surgeon satisfaction considerations. KGH has been recognized as a centre of excellence in evaluating medical therapy for BPH and studies from the institution have impacted BPH care nationally and abroad. Laser and other state of the art BPH surgical technologies are being purchased by Ontario hospitals, including the local area, with no prospective assessment process. Kingston is uniquely advantaged to undertake a randomized comparative study of two of the most promising technology platforms because the investigators have the experience and expertise to perform the study in a hospital and surgeon naive institution. The investigators propose to directly compare two vaporization techniques, laser and plasma vaporization systems. The investigators will be able to answer the most important questions in technology introduction and technique into our hospital system - cost, efficacy, safety and satisfaction. The results will inform KGH (and other similar Ontario centres) on the advantage or not (financial and patient care related) of investing in a BPH state of the art vaporization technology.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending dose of Y-2 sublingual tablets in healthy male and female adult subjects. The secondary objective is to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics of Y-2 sublingual tablets in healthy male and female adult subjects.
The aim of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to assess, under real-life conditions, woman's satisfaction with Levonogestrel IntraUterine System (LNG-IUS) in a young (18-30 years old (y.o.)) Spanish population taking into account their parity status. Furthermore, the study is aimed to evaluate the impact of: menstrual bleeding pattern and satisfaction with it at baseline, LNG-IUS chosen, previously used contraceptive method and reasons for change to/ choice of a LNG-IUS on overall satisfaction with LNG-IUS use.
The purpose of this study is to determine the negative predictive value of protein S100B that could exclude subarachnoid and intracranial haemorrhage for patient that present severe headache within the last 3 hours.
Topical hemostats are agents that stop bleeding by contributing blood to clot. Oxidized cellulose, a sort of mechanical hemostatic material, predominantly forms a block to stop the blood flow and provides a surface to clot more rapidly.It was marketed for the first time in 1945 and widely used for its convenience, biocompatibility, and bactericide from that time. It is currently available in many commercial products, while manufactured using either a regenerated or nonregenerated process. The physicochemical property and hemostatic efficacy of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORCG) and oxidized nonregenerated cellulose (ONRCG) has been well documented using in vitro test and animal models, and ONRCG was seemingly superior to ORCG in terms of hemostasis. However, no clinical study has been performed to verify. Therefore, the objective of this prospective randomized study is to assess the hemostatic efficacy of ORCG (Surgicel®, Ethicon) vs ONRCG (Traumastem®, Bioster) for hemostasis of local bleeding in patients undergoing hepatic resection.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with remote ischemic conditioning is of sufficient promise to improve outcome before conducting a larger clinical trial to examine its effectiveness as a treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage.
assess the effect of using misoprostol in abdominal myomectomy operations on blood loss, duration of the operation and possible operative complications. Research question Does pre-operative misoprostol affect on intra-operative blood loss during and after myomectomy operation ?. Research hypothesis Pre-operative misoprostol may reduce intra-operative blood loss during and after myomectomy operation .
Vitamin D has been promoted to vascular regeneration in non-cerebral arteries because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) as the most feared complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), correlated with higher mortality and poor outcome, is the result of a multifactorial mechanism with inflammation as one of the main role players. The investigators therefore hypothesized that vitamin D attenuates cerebral vasospasm and increases the chance for favorable outcome after SAH.
Our primary aim is to investigate whether remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) as an adjunctive treatment can improve long-term recovery in acute stroke patients as an adjunct to standard treatment.
This is a randomized controlled study evaluating the ability of laypersons to correctly apply a tourniquet using different instructional methods. There are four arms being evaluated: flashcards, audio-kit with visual aids, formal in person Bleeding Control Basic (B-Con) course, and a control arm. All participants will then undergo B-Con training at the end of each session and then participants will be evaluated within a 3-6 month time period to evaluate their retention of knowledge and skills taught by the B-Con course.
