Filter by:Short title REPORT-BPD feasibility study Design A mixed methods observational cohort feasibility study Study Setting Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust Aim To explore the feasibility of measuring the right ventricular function of the premature heart to develop a prediction model to identify early BronchoPulmonary Dysplasia in premature infants. Objectives 1. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the study procedures e.g., recruitment, echo scans performance, data collection, storage, and analysis. 2. To identify the sensitive echo parameters in assessing the right ventricle function of the heart to be included in a prediction model to identify early BPD in premature infants. Study Participants Preterm infants born <32 weeks of gestational age, their parents and healthcare professionals involved in the care of the study's preterm infants. Sample size 40 preterm infants Follow-up Each preterm infant will be followed up till they are 36 weeks of post menstrual age (PMA) or until discharge home whichever comes first. Study Period 18 months Outcome Measures 1. Establishing sensitive and feasible echo parameters for detecting right ventricle dysfunction associated with early BPD pulmonary vascular changes. 2. Suitability of eligibility criteria and sample characteristics. 3. Fidelity to the study procedures such as recruitment, data collection including echo scans performance at the set time points. 4. Recruitment, accrual, and retention rates.
Spermotrend is a natural based product manufactured by Catalysis Laboratories. Its composition contains different essential elements for spermatogenesis: selenium, zinc and fructose. In addition, it contains L-arginine, natural precursor of nitric oxide that favors vasodilation, and pygeum africanum extract with antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antiandrogenic and antiproliferative action. Its main action resides in the control of oxidative damage to the tissues of the male reproductive system, as well as the control of correct spermatogenesis. Given that sperm quality can be altered by oxidative stress and that male infertility affects more and more people, the prevention and management of this deterioration becomes increasingly important. Therefore, to evaluate Spermotrend as a new therapy for male infertility, the investigators are going to study the safety and efficacy of this treatment in this clinical trial. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS The treatment with Spermotrend improves the parameters of the spermatogenesis. GENERAL OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and the safety level of the natural Spermotrend product in the treatment of male infertility. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES - Evaluate the increase in sperm motility and concentration. - Identify the improvement in the seminal fluid volume. - Identify the positive changes in the sperm morphology. - Determine how to maintain the semen analysis in a normal range. - Describe the adverse effects. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES - Identify the improvement in urinary symptoms related with benign prostatic hyperplasia. - Identify the improvement in varicocele.
The aim of this prospective study is to analyze the postoperative paresthesias experienced in patients who undergo bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) using an ultrasonic saw, versus a reciprocating saw. Patients included in the study are ages 15-45 scheduled to undergo BSSO surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. One side of the patient's mandible will be instrumented with either the Stryker Sonopet ultrasonic saw or traditional reciprocating saw, while the other side will receive the remaining intervention (determined via randomization on the day of surgery). Patient paresthesias will then be analyzed on each side for 3 months postoperatively (at postoperative days: 1, 7, 14, 28, and 84). Sensory examinations will be carried out by blinded examiners using von Frey hairs and two point discrimination testing. Patients will also subjectively rate their sensation on each side. The results will then be analyzed to determine if patient paresthesias, including the severity and duration, differed depending on which instrument was used, the ultrasonic or reciprocating saw.
Prospective clinical study that analyzes the efficacy of colonoscopy assisted by an artificial intelligence system (DiscoveryTM) compared to virtual chromoendoscopy with iSCAN in the detection of colon dysplasia in patients with long-standing Ulcerative Colitis.
The aim of this study is to determine if fungal colonization is associated to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants less than 29 weeks of gestation, and to determine if an association exists between fungal colonization and complications of prematurity and death.
Aim of the study is to compare the systemic inflammatory markers and surgical stress response in patients undergoing HOLEP or TUR-P surgery.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase III study of Chronocort® compared with immediate-release hydrocortisone replacement therapy in participants aged 16 years and over with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common and standard urological surgical procedure for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although surgical technology improved in recent decades, severe complications such as TURP syndrome, hematuria, and postoperative hemorrhage were still considerable. Coagulopathy is one of rare but devastating complication which may contribute to bleeding during and after TURP. Although the exact pathophysiological condition of coagulopathy is not clear, there are several possible mechanisms of TURP associated coagulopathy including: urokinase- (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)-related fibrinolysis; absorption of irrigating fluid associated dilutional coagulopathy; release of prostatic particles rich in tissue thromboplastins into the circulation causing secondary fibrinolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC); sepsis with DIC associated with bacteria entering the circulation due to prostatic venous sinuses opening and the using of high pressure irrigation. On the other hand, platelet are essential to hemostasis and thrombosis and its activation also contributes to leukocyte recruitment and DIC. Furthermore, previous studies demonstrated that activated platelets could express TLR4, CD40L, P-selectin and induce platelet-leukocyte aggregation (PLA), which were considered important for systemic inflammatory responses and DIC development. Currently, no study investigating the association of prostate particle and platelet activation. Here, we tested the hypothesis that prostate tissue may induce inflammatory responses through platelet activation by measuring the expression of TLR4, CD40L, P-selectin and PLA on platelets.
