Filter by:This study aims to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and interthoracic intercostal nerve block in thoracic surgery. Interthoracic intercostal nerve block is a routine procedure during the surgery by the surgeon in our hospital, and ultrasound-guide erector spinae plane block is a relative new developed regional analgesia technique introduced since 2016 and mainly done by anesthesiologists. Both technique provide analgesic effect to some extent and reduce opiate consumption and side effects. However, no previous literature or research compare the effect of these two technique in thoracic surgery. The primary endpoint of our study is compare morphine consumption and pain score between patients undergo ESP block and patients undergo ICNB after thoracic surgery; the second endpoint is to compare the recovery condition evaluated by QoR-15 questionaire 24 hours after surgery.
The purpose of this study is 1. to evaluate effect of high FiO2 on the development of intraoperative atelectasis in mechanically ventilated children using LUS. 2. to investigate the correlation between lung consolidation score and patient clinical variables including pulmonary mechanics, Sao2%, ABG, and perioperative respiratory complications.
The study examines the severity of extraesophageal reflux using oropharyngeal pH monitoring in patients with varying degrees of lower turbinates hypertrophy.
The purpose of the study is to systematically characterize the clinical course of the progressive neuropathy and optic atrophy observe in pediatric and adult patients with biallelic mutations in the ferredoxin reductase gene.
The purpose of this study is to see if the participant's genetic profile and clinical factors (age, drug dose, etc.) affect drug outcomes (i.e. serious bleeding) that the participant may have experienced since taking the drug (direct oral anticoagulant) for preventing blood clots from forming in the blood vessels.
Gender medicine considers the way in which gender, male or female, affects the development and impact of diseases and the response to therapies. It can be said that it is a new transversal dimension of medicine, which evaluates the gender differences in the physiology, pathophysiology and clinic of many diseases and thus sets itself the goal of reaching optimal therapeutic decisions both in men and women based on proven scientific evidence. Although knowledge of gender medicine has increased significantly in recent years, a gender approach has not been much developed in pediatrics. In the field of bone marrow transplants, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is known to be the most effective consolidation therapy in some high-risk hematology malignancies such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, and represents one of the potential treatment for patients suffering from solid tumors and genetic hematological, metabolic diseases and primary immunodeficiencies. Huge progress has been made in high resolution donor typing, choice of conditioning regimens, manipulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and prevention of serious infections in recent years, which have significantly improved the survival rate of patients undergoing to this procedure. International literature regarding the response and outcomes from hematopoietic cell transplantation in a gender perspective is completely absent, for these reasons this pilot study was born from the need to understand from a broader perspective and in order to better understand how the gender may or not influence the outcome of transplantation in pediatric patients. This retrospective analysis of the data will concern all patients who underwent allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplant. The data will be collected from clinical records and from Regional electronic databases. All data will be collected anonymously and an identification code will be assigned to each case.
No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has investigated the effect of prophylactic fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion in septic or critically ill patients with coagulation abnormalities. The last Surviving Sepsis Campaign therefore suggests with a very low quality of evidence "against the use of fresh frozen plasma during septic shock to correct clotting abnormalities in the absence of bleeding or planned invasive procedures". However, expert opinion highlights that FFP should be transfused "when there is a documented deficiency of coagulation factors (increased prothrombin time, international normalized ratio - INR, or partial thromboplastin time) and the presence of active bleeding or before surgical or invasive procedures". Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is responsible for such a severe deficiency of coagulation factors. Supplementing the intense deficit of coagulation factors with plasma containing non-activated coagulation factors is therefore a rational therapy in DIC patients. OctaplasLG® is a donor plasma product, with unique features compared to standard fresh frozen plasma: standardized concentrations of natural pro-/anti-coagulation factors; a standardized volume; pathogen free. OctaplasLG® should reduce the "inflammatory hit" on the endothelium, including the glycocalyx, by having standardized levels of coagulation proteins, which can give more sustainable support to the endothelial regeneration as compared to standard fresh frozen plasma.
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion Phase 1 clinical study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK profile, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical efficacy of INCB106385 when given as monotherapy or in combination with INCMGA00012 in participants with selected CD8 T-cell-positive advanced solid tumors including SCCHN, NSCLC, ovarian cancer, CRPC, TNBC, bladder cancer, and specified GI malignancies (defined as CRC, gastric/GEJ cancer, HCC, PDAC, or SCAC)
Natalizumab (NTZ) use in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in highly active patients has been largely established during the last Rationale 10 years in both clinical trials and real-world practice. Along with its efficacy, NTZ use has been limited by potential risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Thus, several studies have tried to assess how to minimize this risk. One suggested approach is to move from the standard interval dose (SID) of 4 weeks to an extended interval dose (EID) of 5 weeks or longer. Extending the dosing interval of NTZ has been practiced by some physicians with the intention of improving the benefit/risk of the treatment by reducing the exposure-dependent risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) while maintaining efficacy. We propose to retrospectively analyze data from clinical records coming from RRMS patients treated in France at 5 different centers; Caen, Nice, Bobigny and Toulouse hospitals as well as Percy Military Hospital, to evaluate the effectiveness of natalizumab EID in subjects who have previously been treated with natalizumab SID for 12 months, in relation to continued SID treatment. In the clinical practice of these centers, patients are shifted after minimum 12 months under SID to an EID of 6 weeks regardless antibody JC serum status. Clinical, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and serum anti-JCV antibody status data are collected when available. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy in term of ARR and safety.
This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of mild to moderate edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (cellulite) in participants with moderate to severe dermal laxity in the buttocks or thighs with comparison between two (2) different CCH injection techniques.
