Filter by:Nasal trauma, deviated nasal septum, sinusitis, nasal polyps and other nasal benign diseases are common clinical diseases and require endoscopic sinus surgery. The proper application of the surgical procedure as well as ensuring high quality of wound healing, is also important to achieve successful results in endoscopic sinus surgery. If good quality wound healing cannot be achieved in the surgical field,synechiae and anatomic defects can occur that may require revision surgeries. Mesenchymal stem cells play an active role in the treatment of many diseases. it primarily exerts therapeutic effects through paracrine. In this study, the effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived multipotent factors on mucosal repair after nasal surgery was evaluated.
The aim objective of this work is to assess the characteristics of patients for whom teledermoscopy could be suitable for the detection of potential skin cancers, within a population of rural general medicine in the South of Hainaut, by means of a mixed quantitative and qualitative study corresponding respectively: - To identify patients' knowledge of skin cancers, their skin monitoring habits, and their acceptability of new telemedicine tools such as teledermoscopy ("Part 1"). - To evaluate the satisfaction and expectations of those who benefit from teledermoscopy ("Part 2").
This is a randomized phase 2 trial with 2 groups (control group vs experimental group). Patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LR-NPC) assigned to the control group will receive standardized carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT). For patients assigned to the experimental group, a predictive model will be used to predict the chance of developing mucosal necrosis after salvage carbon-ion radiotherapy, and individualized dose prescription will be given. The primary endpoint of the study is to compare the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) between 2 groups.
The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 for adjuvant treatment of resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Opioid is recommended for moderate cancer pain in WHO 3-step analgesic ladder. Transdermal administration of the strong opioid fentanyl was originally developed for patients unable to swallow analgesics because of malignancies in the head and neck region or the gastrointestinal tract, painful lesions in the mouth, or periods of nausea, vomiting, or bowel obstruction. The EMA recognizes that in exceptional clinical circumstances, the 12 μg/h fentanyl patch could be considered. To our knowledge, there is not a phase III trial to explore the efficacy and safety of 12 μg/h fentanyl patch in opioid-naive patients with moderate cancer pain.
This is a randomized, open label, multi-center, positive-controlled study, in which a total of 236 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive bivalirudin or heparin in a 1:1 ratio during coil embolization in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Procedure-related complication, mRS, Activated Clotting Time, ischemic and hemorrhagic complications, symptomatic and asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, death, Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia will be evaluated during procedure, at 24hs, 7days and 30 days after.
Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a common disease in shoulder surgery, which mostly occurs in young and middle-aged patients. Severe acromioclavicular joint dislocations of Rockwood type IV, V, and VI require surgical treatment. Among them, the common clinical type IV and type V severe acromioclavicular joint dislocations are often treated with autologous/allogenous tendon transplantation and coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction under shoulder arthroscopy. Although this minimally invasive surgical method has certain advantages over incision surgery, due to factors such as poor healing after tendon transplantation and failure of coracoclavicular fixation, the recurrence rate of postoperative dislocation is still as high as 30%, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Therefore, we proposed a new surgical technique of minimally invasive shoulder arthroscopic coracoclavicular suspension fixation and coracoclavicular ligament residual reconstruction, which aims to strengthen the fixation strength of the coracoclavicular space, promote the healing of the coracoclavicular ligament, and reduce the recurrence rate of postoperative dislocation. To improve postoperative shoulder joint function of patients. This project intends to use non-randomized controlled clinical research and biomechanical research to compare traditional surgical techniques with new microscopic techniques in terms of surgical efficacy, postoperative complications, and internal plant fixation strength to establish the therapeutic advantages of the new technology. Its application and promotion provide important clinical evidence to improve the treatment of severe acromioclavicular joint dislocation in the field of shoulder surgery.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by poor attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity and emotional-motivational dysregulation. Here, we will test if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce the symptoms of ADHD.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of most commonly performed orthopaedic surgeries. Several options for graft choice are available and autologous single bundle hamstring graft is most commonly used. Variability exists among patients in terms of hamstring size, and therefore the graft diameter. Recently there has been an increasing amount of literature correlating the hamstring graft diameter with the graft failure rate [1-4]. They concluded that graft exceeding 8mm in diameter is associated with a significant lower risk of graft failure. There has been study showing that Asian patients were indeed 'different' from the Caucasians. Ho et al published his findings on Singaporean patients showing that the median graft diameters for female and male patients were 7mm and 8mm respectively [5]. A retrospective review our patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in our department over the past 10 years has shown that the mean graft diameter was 7.8mm (range, 5.5-10mm). The conventional way of four-strand hamstring autograft is done by doubling both the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons to provide a quadrupled graft. Several techniques have been described to increase the size of the hamstring graft. One of those is the -strand hamstring graft, in which the longer semitendinosus tendon is tripled with the shorter gracilis tendon doubled to produce a 5-strand configuration. We hypothesized that the 5-strand hamstring graft would provide a graft of significantly larger diameter than the conventional quadrupled autograft.
Although the epidemiological studies indicate how magnesium and calcium may interact to affect cardiovascular risk, current clinical trials have not elucidated the associations, particularly among hypertensive patients. To address the research gap, we have to examine how magnesium may influence cardiovascular profile of hypertensive patients via the modification of calcium homeostasis. Meanwhile, large-scale cohorts in China suggested keeping dietary calcium: magnesium ratio within 2.3 can reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality. The results indicate the potential for individualized nutrition. This study will recruit uncontrolled hypertensive patients taking single drug and investigate whether calcium-magnesium combined supplements help to control their blood pressure. In standardized manner, subjects in the intervention group and the control group (each with 21 subjects) will be assessed for their dietary calcium and magnesium intake in the previous three months, so that researchers can provide calcium and/or magnesium supplements to maintain a calcium/magnesium ratio as 2.3. The effect of supplementation will be evaluated by the blood pressure changes in the 12th week of intervention.
