Filter by:assessment of very rapid virological response and rapid virological response as predictors of response to sofosbuvir and daclatasvir in treatment of cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients with HCV, eligible to treatment.
Hepatitis c associated glomerulonephritis is an immune complex disease that occurs in 21% of patients who have HCV infection.
The aim of this study is to study the therapeutic and adverse effects of oral magnesium sulfate therapy on constipation in children with spastic cerebral palsy suffering from chronic constipation in neuro pediatric unit at Assiut University Hospital.
The velopharyngeal valve is a tridimensional muscular valve that is located between the oral and nasal cavities. It consists of the lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls as well as the soft palate. The role of the velopharyngeal valve is to separate the oral and nasal cavities during speech and swallowing.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the changes in serum ALT level among patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) following 3-month treatment of 800 mg SNP-610 or the placebo. The secondary objectives will be to compare the changes in liver fat fraction, other liver function tests, cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) fragment level and adverse event / serious adverse event rates among the interventional and placebo arms.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of every 2 week intravitreal aflibercept injections in a population of neovascular AMD patients that have demonstrated refractory subretinal fluid with or without intraretinal fluid despite prior monthly intravitreal aflibercept treatment.
Surgical-site infection is the most commonly reported nosocomial infection in patients undergoing surgery and 3rd most nosocomial infection in hospitalized patients. The SSI is associated with increases of length of hospitalization for 6 days and increases the hospital's cost by $ 300. Because of these, prevention of SSI with appropriate antibiotic is essential.
Bone tumors are categorized according to their tissue of origin into cartilagenous, osteogenic, fibrogenic, fibrohistiocytic, haematopoietic, vascular, and lipogenic tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now indispensable for the preoperative workup and therapeutic follow-up of patients with musculoskeletal tumors. The application of DW-MRI in bone marrow is today an established examination technique that provides a unique contrast and that can help in the detection of bone-marrow pathologies and the differentiation of benign and malignant bone-marrow lesions. Diffusion MRI provides quantitative and qualitative assessments of tissue cellularity and cell-membrane integrity. It is widely used for tumour detection, characterisation, and monitoring during treatment. Diffusion MRI supplies functional information that complements the structural evaluation. In combination with standard structural MRI parameters, the ADC value improves tumour characterization. Diffusion MRI can also be used to monitor tumours during chemotherapy. Tumour necrosis results in loss of cell membrane integrity and in expansion of the extracellular compartment, leading to greater water-molecule diffusion with an increase in the ADC value.
Ruptured intracranial aneurysms is currently a common disease that seriously affects human health and quality of life due to its high morbidity,high mortality and high disability. At present,Ruptured intracranial aneurysms are treated with craniotomy clipping and interventional embolization ,but for ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, the treatment of craniotomy clipping and coiling embolization are not effective.With the improvement of endovascular treatment materials and techniques, three dimensional coil basket technique, double microcatheter technique, balloon assisted ONYX embolization, simple stent covered aneurysm neck, balloon or stent assisted neck remodeling and coil embolization are used in endovascular treatment of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The treatment methods are different in the intervention effect of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, for example, the complications of interventional therapy are lower than craniotomy clipping,but the rate of well functional outcome (mRS ≤2) differed significantly by 3 months follow-up (65.0% vs.75.0%), and there is not standard of treatment in different parts of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms in our country, the choice of interventional therapy or craniotomy clipping are different in different clinical centers; on the other hand, there are serious problems in the treatment of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, because without the relevant guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, different clinical centers will cause excessive treatment of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, not only bring unreasonable utilization of medical resources, but also cause the subject's life and property to be threatened. The patients with ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms(n=1084) and unruptured intracranial aneurysms(n=300) were included in prospective cohort study, after interventional therapy and craniotomy clipping, setting fixed time for postoperative follow-up, the clinical data and image data were recorded, the safety, efficacy and economic benefits of interventional treatment and craniotomy clipping were compared, providing strategies for the standardized treatment of ruptured wide-neck intracranial aneurysms.
The investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of prophylaxis of urinary tract infections in children with a probiotic containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus PL1 and Lactobacillus plantarum PM1. It is formulated a hypothesis that a 3-months course of probiotic prophylasis is more effective than placebo.
