Filter by:Focal Cortical Dysplasias (FCDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders that represent a major cause of early onset drug-resistant epilepsies with cognitive and behavioral impairments, carrying a lifelong perspective of disability and reduced quality of life. Despite a major medical and socio-economic burden, rationale therapeutic strategies are still under debate. Surgical removal of the epileptogenic brain area (Epileptogenic Zone) is the most successful treatment, yet it fails to control FCD-associated seizures in as much as 40% of cases. Precise definition and complete resection of the Epileptogenic Zone are the main determinants of outcome. In current practice of French centers, up to 80% FCD-patients require an intracranial EEG (icEEG) recording to accurately define the epileptogenic zone. However, the indications for icEEG in MRI-visible FCD remain empirical and are essentially based on expert opinion.
In this study the investigators aim to test TGreenlight (532-nm) laser Photoselective Enucleation of the Prostate (Green LEP) using (XPS) 180W system ) vs Thulium Laser 200 W Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuLEP) in reduction of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a randomized controlled trial. Furthermore, all peri-operative parameters, urinary flow parameters, prostate size changes and complications associated with the procedures will be compared.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common pathology of the aging man with an incidence that rises from 40% in men aged 50 to 60 years to 90% in men over 80 years. Studies such as the MTOPS (the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms) study show that more than half of the patients recruited had an aggravation of their disease over time either by an increase in symptoms or by the appearance of complications such as acute retention of urine. For benign symptomatic prostate hypertrophy, apart from any complication, first-line treatment is now a medical treatment. For patients who respond poorly to medical treatment or who have complications related to benign prostatic hypertrophy, the treatment becomes surgical. The reference treatment is endoscopic prostate resection (TURP). It is mainly to improve the safety of hemostasis in patients older and older and at significant surgical risk that new "minimally invasive" surgical techniques have emerged. Thus, lasers have been developed and are currently used as an alternative to the TURP. Used in clinical practice since 2000, prostatic photosensitive vaporization (PVP) relies on the absorption of a 532nm (green) wavelength laser beam by the oxyhemoglobin contained in richly vascularized prostate tissue. Given the aging of the population, more and more patients are being treated with oral anticoagulants (Anti Vitamin K (AVK) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)). Today there are about 1.4 million people on oral anticoagulants, 40% of whom are over 80 years of age. The peri-operative management of the AVK is currently based on the recommendations published by the FHA (French Health Authority) in 2008. Concerning the perioperative management of DOACs, the perioperative haemostasis interest group (GIHP) made proposals updated in September 2015. Numerous studies published in the literature have concluded the feasibility of prostate removal surgery by PVP with greenlight laser without relay (or interruption) of AVK or DOACs because of the properties of hemostasis. But the levels of evidence for these studies remain low. No study has focused on rigorously assessing the perioperative hemorrhagic risk associated with OAC therapy in patients eligible for PVP, and this is the originality of this study. This study is a multicenter prospective randomized study whose objective is to show that the PVP performed in patients with OAC is not associated with an increase in perioperative hemorrhagic risk.
In this proposal, the investigators plan to conduct a clinical trial to validate the efficacy and safety of microspheres (T-ACE Beads).
The FD/MAS Patient Registry is an IRB-approved research study that that invites the patients and families to help answer some of the biggest questions about FD/MAS by completing questionnaires about their lives with FD or MAS.

Aim: Assess accuracy of histological diagnosis using ultrasound guided biopsy for women with suspected endometrial cancer (as an alternative to hysteroscopy guided biopsy). All women presenting to clinic with suspected endometrial cancer will have an internal ultrasound. If the endometrial lining is thickened an endometrial biopsy will be performed. This can sometimes be done in an outpatient clinic, or sometimes a hysteroscopy and biopsy is needed (on a different day). Hysteroscopy guided biopsy has the advantage of enabling the clinician to perform directed biopsies under vision. Ultrasound guided biopsy is a ubiquitous procedure when used elsewhere in the body however it is not routinely used in this context. It does have the advantage of being easily performed on the same day as the first consultation. In this pilot study we will assess the diagnostic ability and tolerability of ultrasound guided biopsy of women with suspected cancer, as an alternative to hysteroscopy guided biopsy.
Aim: Assess the diagnostic accuracy of 3D Ultrasound, compared to MRI and final histology with respect to myometrial invasion of endometrial cancer. This study will assess whether 3D ultrasound is accurate at predicting myometrial invasion aqnd lymph node metastasis of endometrial cancer. All patients will receive routine standard of care (MRI). The results of the 3D ultrasound will be compared to the MRI report and final histology.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is an important complication in patient with chronic kidney disease . It is associated with bone complication and an increase in cardiovascular mortality The parathyroid hormone rises in these patients as consequence of low concentration of vitamin D3 ,reduction in quantities of serum calcium, phosphorus retention and reduction of vitamin D receptors sensitive to calcium.
Two hundred & forty patients aged from 40 to 50 years - complaining of heavy menstrual bleeding that is unresponsive to hormonal lines of treatment & requesting conservative surgical approach- were randomized into 3 groups; group A (Surgicel group) in which 80 patients underwent formal curettage followed by insertion of 4 pieces of Surgicel inside the uterine cavity, group B (Thermal balloon ablation group) in which 80 patients underwent thermal balloon ablation using bipolar radiofrequency electrical energy (Novasure), group C (Endometrial resection group) in which 80 patients underwent transcervical Hysteroscopic endometrial resection.All patients were followed up over duration of 18 months following the procedure (at 3,6,12 & 18 months). Primary outcome included amenorrhea rates
In this study, Investigators planned to compare ejaculatory sparing and non-ejaculatory sparing (conventional) TUIP using both subjective and objective assessment tools for the degree of deobstruction. Furthermore, the impact of both techniques on ejaculation and its secondary effect on orgasm perception and different domains of sexual function will be thoroughly assessed.
