Rationale: The optimal technique for removal of visible dysplastic lesions in Barrett's esophagus remains controversial. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is safe, effective, easy to apply, and has been the most widely used technique since 2008. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a more controlled dissection method with potential improved efficacy, but at the cost of higher technical complexity. Objective: The investigators aim to compare EMR and ESD for removal of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Study design: Randomized clinical trial Study population: Patients with Barrett's esophagus and a visible lesion with dysplasia and/or early cancer. Suspicion for submucosal invasion is an exclusion criterion. Intervention: Patients are randomized to receive either EMR or ESD, with follow-up and no ablation during 12 months after the resection. Main study endpoint: Primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with no evidence of residual or local recurrent neoplasia during 12 months follow-up after baseline.
It is a cross sectional observational study. It is to investigate whether AQP-1 polymorphism has any impact on fluid status in hemodialysis patients. The long term stable HD patients in the current center will be enrolled to the study after informed consent. Blood samples will be collected for gene-typing. Fluid status including blood pressure, weekly UF and intra-dialysis body weight change will be collected through their clinical records.
This study with children under 1 age of elective surgery as the research subjects, according to the cross diameter, compared with the traditional method of empirical catheter model, analyze the success rate, completion time of intubation, endotracheal intubation attempts and complications, explore the clinical value of pediatric endotracheal technology, to provide new ideas and methods for clinical practice.
The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a culturally-tailored mobile interactive education and support group intervention to supplement standard postpartum care activities in comparison to standard care alone on health-related behaviors and health outcomes in a randomized controlled trial among 2100 postpartum Indian women living in 3 geographically diverse Indian states to estimate the impact on maternal and neonatal health-related knowledge, health-related behaviors, and health outcomes. The investigators also seek to characterize mechanisms of impact including knowledge, social support, self-efficacy, and behavior change, and determine the cost-effectiveness.
Standardized, quality and evidence-based nursing care after cesarean section is important to prevent or minimize complications that may occur after cesarean section. This evidence-based care will contribute to the shortening of the recovery period of the mother, the early start of postpartum bowel movements, the decrease in the perceived pain level, and the increase in postpartum comfort, thus facilitating the adaptation to new life and roles. On the other hand, although a limited number of studies reported the effects of reflexology, no study investigating the effect of reflexology on pain, comfort level and GIS motility developed after SD was found. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology on pain, intestinal motility and comfort after cesarean section. Hypothesis(s): H1: Foot reflexology after cesarean section reduces the level of pain perception. H2: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases intestinal motility. H3: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases postpartum comfort.
The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Decitabine plus Penpulimab as second-line therapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with PD-1 blockade
Comparison of sedating effect of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for sedation in icu patients who put on mechanical ventilation and undergoing weaning. Selction of better sedating agent minimises the drug related side effects like respiratory depression but also helps in weaning in shorter time,give hemodynamic stability and reduce morbidity and mortality in icu..
Study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Innovalve mitral valve replacement system
This study is a multicenter, retrospective, observational study in patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) treated with plasma exchange (PEX) in association with caplacizumab, and immunosuppression between Q4-2019 and 28 February2021. The retrospective study will measure: Age, sex, BMI, blood pressure at diagnosis, Platelet count at diagnosis and at the follow up visits, Hb level at diagnosis at the follow up visits, White blood cell count at diagnosis at the follow up visits, Creatinine at diagnosis at the follow up visits, schistocytes count at diagnosis at the follow up visits, LDH at diagnosis at the follow up visits, Coombs' assay at diagnosis, alanine-leucine-amino-transferase (ALT) at diagnosis at the follow up visits, total bilirubin at diagnosis at the follow up visits, Troponin above ULN at any point, ADAMTS13 activity (where measured) at diagnosis at the follow up visits, Anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies (where measured) at diagnosis at the follow up visits. The primary objective in this study is the description and quantification of clinical response in terms of platelet count recovery in patients with aTTP treated t with caplacizumab , in addition to PEX and immunosuppression in the real-world setting. The secondary objectives include: number of exacerbations, defined as recurrent thrombocytopenia within 30 days after the end of therapy; rate of relapse, defined as a TTP event occurring more than 30 days after the end of daily plasma exchange; refractoriness; defined by the lack of a doubling of platelet count after 4 days of treatment and a lactate dehydrogenase level that remained above the upper limit of the normal range, TTP-related mortality and evaluation of adverse events.
