Filter by:Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is any alteration in the pattern or volume of menstrual blood flow and heavy menstrual bleeding affects up to 30% of women at some time during their reproductive years. Abnormal menstruation can be due to conditions such as pregnancy complication uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, but in a large proportion of cases, the etiology is unclear, a condition generally referred to as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Treatment options for DUB include symptomatic medical treatment or surgery, traditionally hysterectomy. Hysteroscopically guided endometrial ablation methods have been shown to be effective and safe alternatives to hysterectomy for management of DUB. These methods require particular skills and experience and a long learning curve to be performed effectively and safely. Through the past three decades DUB patients in Assiut university hospital were treated with either electrosurgical ablation or hysterectomy. When faced with hysteroscopic challenges during transcervical resection of the endometrium or rollerball coagulation, we used to shift to thermal balloon as backup method . However, expensive uterine balloon could not infrequently be afforded because of financial constrains and limited health resources . Therefore, another method was used as backup for hysteroscopic failures. It was first tried via insulating the conventional double-ended uterine curette then through a specially designed tactile electrosurgical ablation (TEA) probe.The technique of TEA is largely similar to the dilatation and curettage procedure both principally and practically. Hence, the basic requirements for its performance are the general awareness with electrosurgical principles and adequate experience in performing dilatation and curettage. TEA is done by specially designed tactile diathermy probe that carried the job of electrosurgical ablation without hysteroscopy or distension media first in an experimental session that clearly clarified the reproducibility of the depth of thermal damage and safety of the tactile electrosurgical ablator . Thereafter, TEA was successfully performed with satisfactory short and medium term outcomes for ten cases with DUB during an active, relentless bleeding attack. TEA is done under laparoscopic monitoring. The aim of the present work is to present TEA as a simple, inexpensive, novel backup approach for treatment of DUB.
At present, a variety of antithrombotic regimens are prescribed in the early postprocedure period after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) using aspirin and a thienopyridine in the initial period after TAVI is the recommended strategy; however, mono antiplatelet therapy using aspirin is suggested not to be inferior. In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or another indication for oral anticoagulation (OAC), no recommendations on best treatment regimen currently exist although triple therapy (OAC + DAPT) is best avoided due to increased bleeding risk. We hypothesise that the omission of clopidogrel in the first 3 months after TAVI is safer and not less beneficial than the addition of clopidogrel to aspirin (cohort A) or OAC (cohort B).
This study aimed to validate CU prediction model on mortality for patients with high risk bleeding peptic ulcers after therapeutic endoscopy.
Background: A second endoscopic method added to injection therapy is recommended for high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers. Many endoscopic devices have been proved as useful hemostatic instruments, whereas the hemostatic efficacy of argon plasma coagulation (APC) has not been widely investigated. Aim: This study was designed to know whether additional APC treatment could influence the hemostatic efficacy after endoscopic injection therapy in treating high-risk bleeding ulcers. Methods: From October 2010 to January 2012, eligible patients who had high-risk bleeding ulcers were admitted to our hospital. They prospectively randomly underwent either APC therapy plus distilled water injection or distilled water injection alone. Pantoprazole infusion was conducted during the fasting period after endoscopy and orally for 8 weeks to encourage ulcer healing. Episodes of rebleeding were retreated with endoscopic combination therapy. Patients who did not benefit from retreatment underwent emergency surgery or transarterial embolization (TAE).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Magnetic Resonance Imaging may predict the risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage for patients with ischemic stroke who receive indefinite oral anticoagulation
The purpose of this study is to examine whether providing ventilation during delayed umbilical cord clamping provides greater placental transfusion and improved hemodynamic transition at birth.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate whether cooling the uterine smooth muscle during cesarean section (following delivery of the fetus) will promote better uterine contraction and involution resulting in lower blood loss, use of fewer uterotonic medications, and fewer hysterectomies following cesarean section. The investigators suspect that it may.
Purpose of the study: - To evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) of intraoperative blood loss in patients subjected to bi-maxillary orthognathic surgery - To evaluate the potential effect of TXA on fibrin structure - To evaluate the potential effect of TXA of binding of plasminogen to fibrin - To evaluate the potential effect of TXA on postoperative edema formation. Hypothesis: H0: Intraoperative bleeding cannot be significantly reduced by preoperative administration of tranexamic acid H0,1: Postoperative edema cannot be significantly reduced by preoperative administration of tranexamic acid
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EVARREST™ Sealant Matrix (EVARREST™ Fibrin Sealant Patch) (EVARREST™) in controlling mild or moderate soft tissue & parenchymal bleeding during open hepatic, abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal, and thoracic (non-cardiac) surgery in paediatric patients.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EVICEL® Fibrin Sealant (Human) as an adjunct to achieve haemostasis during surgery in paediatric patients.
