Filter by:SENIOR transplant Registry European transplant registry of senior renal transplant recipients (above the age of 65 years) receiving initial immunosuppression with tacrolimus once daily, mycophenolate and steroids to investigate long term outcomes on an observational basis.
Anterior cruciate ligament injury is very common knee injury. Especially Anterior cruciate ligament complete rupture leads to knee joint instability and degenerative change of the knee. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is performed for resolving these problems and it gives excellent results. For leading to successful result of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, selecting of appropriate femoral tunnel and tibial tunnel is necessary. If selecting inappropriate tibial tunnel location makes pain, synovitis, impingement of transplanted tendon, loss of range of motion, instability, failure of transplantation and risk of arthritis. It is known that selection of inappropriate tibial tunnel location is the most common cause of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure. Recently many studies reconstructed at anatomical lesion instead of isometric point. And some cadaver studies reported that tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament has "C" shape. There are two methods for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. One is preserving remnant and the other is removing remnant. This study aims to compare the tibia and femoral tunnel location of remnant preserving and remnant resecting anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
This study compares between the clinical, hematological, inflammatory and neurological outcome of patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery in which different oxygenation systems will be used.
The aim of this study was to determine the target propofol concentration needed to provide adequate hypnosis for induction and tracheal intubation for Schnider model using total body weight (TBW) in parturients. In addition, investigators wanted to define the hemodynamic adverse effects associated with these propofol target concentrations.
Mechanical ventilation of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery may induce lung injury. Since lung protective ventilation has been recommended during anesthesia to prevent ongoing lung injury, so in our study the investigators will compare three different lung protective strategies regarding their lung protective effect measured by the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, perioperative oxygenation and postoperative inflammatory mediator release.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of interventional Lung Assist iLA activve to standard therapy in mechanically ventilated patients with severe acute lung impairment. Hypothesis: iLA(active) reduces the incidence of an increase in SOFA-Score of ≥3 points (or death) within 28 days compared to standard treatment.
The purpose of this evaluation is to receive the greatest benefit of new custom made hearing product technology and shell modification for the end customer and to continual improve the custom made hearing products.
NM-IL-12 is being evaluated as an immunotherapeutic with concomitant hematopoietic regenerating properties for treatment of relapsed/refractory DLBCL, an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for NM-IL-12 is not planned in this study, rather, a pre-defined dose of 150 ng/kg will be explored; this dose is based on two safety and tolerability studies of NM-IL-12 in healthy volunteers.
Very large bile duct stones are difficult to remove. Dilation-assisted stone extraction, also termed small endoscopic sphincterotomy plus endoscopic papillary large balloon dilatation, is safe and effective technique for the treatment of large CBD stones. However, in approximately 5-10% of patients, the removal of large bile duct stones may be difficult. For this selected group of patients for whom all conventional endoscopic stone treatment devices have failed, laser lithotripsy technology has provided an approach to the fragmentation of difficult bile duct stones. A single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) system (SpyGlass Direct Visualization System, Boston Scientific Corp., Natick, MA, USA) has overcome most of the conventional cholangioscopy limitations. The investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Spyglass-guided laser lithotripsy for difficult CBD stones not amenable to conventional dilation-assisted stone extraction therapy.
Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is often performed as an outpatient procedure so high-quality postoperative recovery is particularly important. The aim of this study is to compare postoperative quality of recovery after spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) for transurethral resection of the bladder.
