Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are part of the multidisciplinary treatment of some chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Although clinical guidelines of other diseases such as non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (nCFBE) discuss the benefits of these programs in quality of life and exercise tolerance, evidence of such intervention in nCFBE patients is insufficient. Longer studies are needed with larger sample sizes and optimized to maximize the response and maintain long-term benefits. The present study aims to examine the effects in exercise tolerance of a pulmonary rehabilitation program combined with respiratory physiotherapy in patients with nCFBE. It is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a total duration of 24 months. The intervention will be performed during 12 weeks and then will be a period of 12 months of maintenance. This is a multicenter study involving the following Hospitals: Hospital Clinic, Hospital la Plató and Hospital del Mar of Barcelona, Hospital Josep Trueta of Girona, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Fondazione Maugeri di Lumezzane of Italy. Subjects will be randomized into three groups in a ratio (1: 1: 1) (1) Pulmonary Rehabilitation (2) Chest Physiotherapy and (3) Pulmonary Rehabilitation + Chest Physiotherapy. Hospital la Plató from Barcelona will be responsible for carrying out the Control Group. The primary endpoint will be the test of "endurance shuttle walk test".

Recent pre-clinical data provide strong evidence that short-term starvation before the administration of cytostatic drugs for the chemotherapy of solid tumors leads to significantly higher efficacy and lower toxicity levels. However, these findings have so far not been validated in patients. The aim of this trial is to provide first clinical evidence regarding the impact of pre-chemotherapeutic short-term starvation on response to therapy (primary endpoint). Additionally, progression-free survival, adverse events, and overall survival will be monitored (secondary endpoints). In perspective, short-term starvation before chemotherapy could represent a simple and secure way to improve both efficacy and tolerance of chemotherapies at low cost.
Cases of previous cesarean with placenta previa anterior underwent cesarean section. Placenta accreta is diagnosed during cesarean section &confirmed by pathology. All complications are monitored in cases with placenta accreta and without.
Cesarean section may result in great trauma and postoperative pain. Besides incision pain, uterine contraction pain is another source of postoperative pain after cesarean section. In clinical practice, a large amount of uterine contraction agent is routinely applied after cesarean section so as to promote involution of uterus and reduce postoperative hemorrhage, which also causes great uterine contraction pain. Acute pain is the risk factor of chronic pain, and may postpone the recovery from labour and influence the quality of life of parturient. Though various analgesia modules have been attempted, more than 20% parturients still experience severe postoperative pain, and pain management after cesarean section remains a challenge to anesthesiologists. This study aim to compare the effects of nalbuphine hydrochloride vs sufentanil citrate on patient-controlled intravenous analgesia after cesarean section.
Hypothesis: After reviewing the relevant medical data the investigators assume that treating a woman with intramural fibroid not distorting the uterine cavity or mostly intramural with less than 50% submucosal component with Ulipristal Acetate (UPA) for a 13 weeks course would reduce the fibroid size and improve her chance for conceiving by IVF treatment. Materials & Methods: Study design: A proof of concept prospective not randomized study. The patients: About 20 women treated in the fertility and IVF unit after at least one IVF failure, with mostly intramural (IM) fibroid [class 2-5 by FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) classification system] in the size of >4 cm confirmed by Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and diagnostic hysteroscopy. After US examination and diagnostic hysteroscopy to ascertain suitability for this study, the investigators will offer a course of 13 weeks treatment with UPA 5 mg per day. One month after cessation of treatment the investigators will perform another TVUS examination & diagnostic hysteroscopy plus endometrial biopsy in order to assess the endometrial & uterine status and will conduct an additional IVF cycle, using the same stimulation protocol undertaken during the immediate cycle previous to the UPA treatment course.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether two types of short-term trauma-focused therapies (individual Narrative Exposure Therapy and group-based Control-Focused Behavioural Treatment) are effective in the treatment of chronic PTSD in earthquake survivors of Nepal.
