The investigators are interested in an additional hearing aid feature called non-linear frequency compression (NLFC). This aims to improve audibility of high frequency sounds by converting them into lower frequencies and has been shown to benefit those with moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Cochlear dead regions (DRs) are areas of the inner hearing organ (the cochlea) where there is little or no function and are commonly found in regions responsible for detecting high pitched (frequency) sounds. Not all people with hearing loss have DRs. The investigators would like to determine whether based on the presence or absence of DRs, patients with moderate-severe SNHL perform better or prefer their hearing aids programmed conventionally, or with NLFC activated. To do this, two participant groups will be created based on findings from the threshold equalising noise (TEN) test which identifies cochlear DRs. Two participant groups will be created; one group with DRs and one group without DRs. All participants will receive two hearing aids and will wear these programmed conventionally for ~six weeks and with NLFC activated for ~six weeks in a counterbalanced manner. Following each condition, participants will complete a questionnaire and various speech tests will be performed. This involves participants repeating sentences, words or speech sounds they hear from a speaker in quiet and in the presence of background noise. Individuals' scores will be calculated for each test and their performance when NLFC was activated and deactivated will be compared. This will be analysed alongside the questionnaire data to compare the 'DR' and 'no DR' group in both conditions. Findings may help to determine whether NLFC should be activated for all moderate-severe SNHL patients, or just those with DRs, helping clinicians to optimise hearing aid settings for patients.
The Aortix CRS Pilot Study: An Evaluation of the Safety and Performance of the Aortix System for Intra-Aortic Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients with Cardiorenal Syndrome
A research study of how house dust mite tablets work compared to placebo in children aged between 5 and 11 years and who have allergy to house dust mites (MATIC)
Diabetic foot is defined by World Health Organization as a syndrome in which the presence of neuropathy, ischemia and infection cause tissue damage or ulcers from minor trauma. This condition can be controlled in its early stages with conservative treatment, which is effective in preventing infections and amputations. However, even with the new knowledge acquired and the development of new therapies, the specialist often faces wounds that do not improve despite the proper treatment, so therapies have been sought to help the healing of these Ulcers. Growing evidence suggests that healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers depends on growth factors and that the therapeutic use of these in wounds has the potential to accelerate their healing in conjunction with wound care Conventional. This study evaluates the effect of plasma rich in autologous growth factors on healing chronic ulcers of diabetic origin. This is a randomized clinical trial that evaluates two study groups. Control group in which advanced weekly healing will be performed while the post-advanced healing study group will be performed the intradermal application of plasma rich in growth factors. These manoeuvres will be performed once a week for four weeks and at the end of the study the results in both groups will be checked. Both groups will also evaluate, frequency and intensity of pain, quality of life, histological changes in ulcers and metabolic evaluation

The aim of the study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of Toripalimab Combined With Double Platinum Based Chemotherapy for Potentially Resectable Non-driver Gene Mutation Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the response rate to ALKS 4230 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with HNSCC who have previously received anti-PD-(L)1 therapy but who have not achieved a CR.
ABG PARAMETERS ARE CHANGED DURING HIPEC, WE TRIED TO FIND COMPARISON BETWEEN NORADRENALINE AND PHENYLEPHRINE IN OPTIMIZING ABG PARAMETERS THAT REFLECTS ORGAN PERFUSIONS ESPECIALLY SERUM LACTATE
The basic purpose of current research is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of therapeutic exercises and educational sessions after microdiscectomy through Minimally Invasive Surgery for disc herniation. A Randomized trial will be conducted on 60 patients from Ghurki hospital , divided into two groups. Simple random sampling will be utilized as sampling strategy. Assessment of physical activities of daily living and quality of life will be performed before and after 8 weeks of post intervention surgery through Oswestry Disability Index, Physical activity survey , SF 36 and Subjective Quality of Life scale respectively . A follow up assessment will be performed after 6 months. Analysis will be done through SPSS 21.
