Filter by:the study aims to determine the effect of using Autologous platelet rich plasma on both the quality & rate of posterior lumbar interbody fusion & its outcome on the Patient regarding postoperative lumbar pain & functional outcome
This study is a Randomized clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of two different mechanics during maxillary en-masse retraction in adult patients. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups:Friction and frictionless mechanics. Mini screws will be used in both group to ensure maximum anchorage during retraction. Lateral cephalometric radiographs and dental models will be taken for each patients pre and post -retraction. Following complete anterior segment retraction, the rate and duration of retraction will be evaluated for both groups as well as patient satisfaction with treatment. Changes in incisors inclination and soft tissue as well as anchorage loss will be also assessed.
The study enrolls ARDS patients in medical ICUs in 11 Hospitals in Taiwan. The epidemiology and long-term outcomes of the patients will be recorded.
This project intends to make a study of personalized medicine evaluation system establishment for liver cancer, gastric cancer and nasopharynx cancer to provide strong support for the development of Precision Medicine and personalized medicine for the patients of high-incidence-rates cancer in China.
Conventional mechanical ventilation is a core feature of intensive care. Weaning and removal of endotracheal tube are crucial processes, which often account for a considerable part of Conventional mechanical ventilation total time. Unsuccessful extubation has been noted to be associated with an increase of both morbidity and mortality in adult and pediatric patients
Acute abdomen can be defined as "A syndrome induced by wide variety of pathological conditions that require emergent medical or more often surgical management" [1].There are a plethora of causes that can lead to acute abdomen in children, they vary depending on the ages of the children and can be divided into diseases that can be treated with medical care and those in which emergency surgical intervention must be considered [2]. Ultrasonography is the initial choice in the diagnosis of the different causes of acute abdomen in children [3, 4]. It is very useful as it is non-invasive, cost- effective, repetitive, with no radiation exposure, as good as laparoscopy, can be done even in patients with scarred abdomen [5].
Epidural, Combined Spinal-Epidural, and more recently dural puncture epidural are forms of neuraxial anesthesia used to provide pain relief in laboring women . The investigators want to assess the onset of pain relief with 2 different neuraxial techniques performed at our center, but which have not yet been compared in the literature: (1) Modified CSE, with only local anesthetic injected into the spinal fluid to reduce side effects of opioids that are seen with the traditional CSE and (2) Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE), involving puncture of the spinal membrane, but without injection of medication into the spinal space. The investigators hypothesize that the onset of labor analgesia will be faster with modified CSE compared to DPE.
The study intends to evaluate the efficacy of different medicine delivering by targed perfusion catheter incoronary administration on epicardial, myocardial perfusion and clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 18 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of decitabine combining with dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to dexamethasone alone .
The aim of this study is to test an intervention that has potential to improve acute care skills and confidence related to safe delivery and newborn care for mid-level health providers in Uganda by the development of a 'mobile' simulation package including scale-up materials based upon research evidence. In this randomized study investigators will compare the impact of a peer learning package on skills, knowledge and team work regarding newborn care among health workers in rural south western Uganda.
