Filter by:This study aims to compare the pain degree between primary cesarean section and repeated cesarean section, and investigate the role of flurbiprofen axetil in postoperative analgesia, so as to provide reference for clinical practice.
Selecting different acupoints as an combination of acupoints is a key factor to clinical efficacy of acupuncture. Different combinations of acupoints will generate different clinical efficacy. So,the purpose of this study is to determine the different clinical efficacy among three types of combinations of acupoints in the treatment of primary insomnia.
Background: Accurate diagnosis of small gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) is essential in order to assess their malignant potential. Endoscopic unroofing by conventional snare or needle knife has been reported to yield sufficient tissue samples for histological evaluation including immunohistochemical staining. Aims: The investigators aim to evaluate endoscopic unroofing in patients with small gastric SETs regarding its safety and diagnostic accuracy as well as a potential therapeutic effect of this technique over time. Methods: In the context of a retrospective analysis, the investigators will identify patients who underwent endoscopic unroofing of small SETs of the stomach at the Medical University of Vienna. Demographic data, indication for intervention, safety of the procedure and follow‐up will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to determine which regimen is better for esophageal squamous carcinoma in concurrent chemoradiation(CCRT),paclitaxel or S1 plus cisplatin.
Acute lung injury (ALI) following thoracic surgery remains a major source of morbidity and mortality after lung resection. One-lung ventilation (OLV) is usually required in thoracic surgery. OLV is also an important predictor of postoperative ALI. Recent laboratory findings suggested that tissue hypoxemia and ischemia / reperfusion injury of the collapsed lungs during OLV is the major cause of lung injury. Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC), which is the exhalate from breath typically collected by cooling device, contains most molecules found in the airway. Metabolomics refers to systematic and scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites. This study will collect EBC for metabolomic analysis and aim to elucidate the biochemical reactions during one-lung ventilation and pathological mechanisms of acute lung injury following thoracic surgery.
"electronic nose"- the tiny sensors, will smell and detect the changes in the sample of abnormal fetal karyotype, and fluid that will be confirmed by amniocentesis.
It has been established that patients with psychiatric disorders tend to do worse in a surgical setting. Some types of surgery with greater impact than others, including orthopedic surgery. In our research group the investigators have shown this to be the case for hip and knee replacements within the mentioned patient category. However, the role of psychiatric disorder and use of different psychopharmacological drugs in relation to perioperative morbidity and mortality have not been thoroughly examined. The objective of this study is to shed light on the issue. Recent studies have shown that different types of psychiatric disorder influence surgical outcome differently. This emphasizes the need for specific knowledge regarding psychiatric diagnoses preoperatively. In this study around 2000 patients with or without psychiatric disorder of any kind will be studied preoperatively, which according to our previous study will include more than 200 patients receiving psychopharmacological treatment. The specifics that characterize every patient's psychiatric trades will be included in a validated questionnaire constructed for that purpose. The questionnaire is called SCL-92 and has been chosen in collaboration with Professor in Psychiatry, Rigshospitalet Anders Fink-Jensen. Preoperative information regarding their mental condition and medicine will be linked to surgical outcome in order to identify potential hazards in the perioperative period.
Lung transplantation (LTx) , DNA-based testing. Performance of DNA-based testing of bacterial and fungal pathogens in comparison to standard testing. Experimental intervention: DNA-based testing of BAL fluid.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the Injection Related Erythema (IRE) mitigation effect of a single administration of brimonidine tartrate in comparison with a vehicle gel (placebo). The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the IRE mitigation effect of a single administration of brimonidine tartrate in comparison with a vehicle gel on a more stringent definition scale, in accordance with the primary endpoint of the original brimonidine pivotal trials and participants' satisfaction with the overall appearance of their skin.
The goals of our study are to determine a).the association between abnormal circadian BP and the development of paroxysmal AF in hypertensive patients, b).at which level of TOD, paroxysmal AF episodes are detected in hypertensive subjects, c).if there is any association between systolic and/or diastolic BP levels with AF occurrence, d).whether the mean heart rate during a 24-hr interval is associated with the development of paroxysmal AF, and finally e).examine the relationship between a wide PP and asymptomatic AF episodes in patients with HTN.
