Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the various types of stents available for biliary drainage in patients with neoplastic stenosis of the common bile duct and to evaluate the adherence to the current guidelines available.
ABSTRACT Purpose: This research was done for the purpose of determining the impact of breast milk smell administered to term infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) due to physiological jaundice on their bilirubin levels, length of remaining in phototherapy and comfort. Material and Method: It is an experimental, randomisation, controlled research. Target population of the research consisted of a total of 72 term infants who were hospitalized in the NICU of Bilecik Bozuyuk Public Hospital and met the sample selection criteria. Our research includes two groups. Breast milk smell group and control group. The infants were assigned to the groups via randomization method. Sample assignment to the groups was performed using stratification and blocking methods. The infants meeting the research sample selection criteria were stratified according to their postnatal age and then assigned to each group equally (blocking) by lot. However, two infants in the control group were excluded from the research at the request of their parents as the research continued. Thus, the research was completed with a total of 72 infants; 37 in the breast milk smell group and 35 in the control group. In the research, the data were collected using "Personal Data Collection Form", "Phototherapy Follow-up Chart" and "Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale". The data were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 (IBM corp. Relased 2012. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 21.0 Armonk, NY: IBM corp.) package software.
A randomized double-blind clinical trial will be performed in the neonatal intensive care unit of Makassed General Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon from December 2021 till August 2022. Randomized opaque envelopes to allocate the treatment will be used. The study will include neonates aged between 26 and 42 gestational weeks, who require phototherapy in the neonatal intensive care unit. Patients will be randomized into two groups.Both groups will receive standard conventional phototherapy, but the intervention group will receive 10 mg per day oral zinc sulfate until discharge.
To assess the size of the common bile duct in a large cohort of patients with jaundice following a malignant tumor of the head of the pancreas or the distal bile duct receiving a diagnostic EA for biopsy and / or for evaluation of tissue resectability.
Due to actual standard of neonatal care bilirubin is monitored in neonates several times after birth to avoid hyperbilirubinemia. As the peak is often one or two days after discharge from hospital a more precise predication than the actual one is desirable to avoid needlessly follow-ups. The precision of an algorithm to predict bilirubin values 24-48h into the future is evaluated in this study.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine effect of tube bathing on skin and bilirubin levels in infants undergoing tunnel and LED of phototherapy. The population of the study consisted of term babies with the diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia in Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital and Kilis State Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) among November 2019-September 2020. The sample size was composed of a total of 140 babies, which were determined according to Power Analysis and met the case selection criteria. Accordingly, Thirty-five babies were randomly assigned to each group (Tunnel Group = experiment and control; LED Group = experiment and control). The babies in the experimental groups were given a tube bath at 6 and 12 hours after phototherapy started. On the other hand, the babies in the control groups were given routine cares in the units. Data were gathered 'Information and Registration Form', Neonatal Skin Risk Assessment Scale (NSRAS) and Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS).
Patients with potentially resectable pancreatic head cancer and high bilirubin level, were stratified into two equal groups according to the method of biliary drainage: endoscopic stenting or percutaneous drainage.
This study was planned to examine the effect of telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up on physiological jaundice, exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months, infantile colic, maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and breastfeeding success.
Data accumulated from medical record collected from January 2008 until December 2018
This project will establish that pediatric and family medicine residents who complete a hybrid breastfeeding medicine curriculum that includes an asynchronous unfolding case scenario along with telesimulation with a standardized patient (SP) will provide timely, skilled lactation support more frequently than residents randomized to an asynchronous unfolding case scenario followed by videoconference group discussion regarding care for the breastfeeding dyad.
