Filter by:General anesthesia is a medically induced state of low reactivity consciousness which is similar to natural sleep.Some studies found that general anesthesia as an independent risk factor could result in a desynchronization of the circadian time structure and cause postoperative sleep disorders characterized by reduced rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (SWS),which have significant deleterious impacts on postoperative outcomes, such as postoperative fatigue, severe anxiety and depression, emotional detachment and delirium, and even pain sensitivity or postoperative pain of patients.Acupuncture can regulate plant nerve activity by increasing slow-wave sleep time to improve sleep quality.The results of polysomnography monitoring showed that the sleep latency, total sleep time, awakening index and sleep quality were all significant improved after acupuncture treatment.And transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation（TAES） works by stimulating Shu yu acupoints, which is more convenient than the normal electric acupuncture. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of TAES on sleep after thoracoscopic surgery
A prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate safety and effectiveness of endoscopic hemostatic powder, 'Nexpowder' for hemostatic treatments of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This study is a prospective, multi-center, single blind (for patients), controlled investigation planned to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Nexpowder with 352 subject patients.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Evolve device utilizing the Ti10 and Tone applicators for abdominal non-invasive circumference reduction and skin tightening
A prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing water exchange (WE) colonoscopy and carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation in terms of right colon combined adenoma miss rate (AMR) and hyperplastic polyp miss rate (HPMR) by tandem inspection.
Risk prediction in in inherited heart rhythm conditions that may cause sudden cardiac arrest or death is difficult. Sometimes the risks may be low but the loss of life in an otherwise healthy young individual is catastrophic. Clinicians often treat to the extreme to prevent this and so often those at unknown risk for a serious cardiac event are treated with an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to protect against sudden death even though the risk is low or unknown. ICDs them selves are not without adverse events such as needing battery replacements, mechanical complications, inappropriate shocks and body image and self esteem issues for the patient. This study will use an inject able monitor that is less invasive to monitor inherited heart rhythm patients long term to help gather long term heart rhythm data (3 years) on patients with an inherited heart rhythm that will help to detect symptoms of dangerous heart rhythms so that the appropriate care can be provided.
The use of implants for conventional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft fixation has been associated with several problems including graft injury, implant osteolysis, implant migration and soft tissue irritation. Implantless ACL surgery offers additional benefits involving lower cost, improved graft incorporation and ease of revision surgery. The investigators aimed to compare the functional outcome of implantless bone-patellar tendon autograft using press-fit fixation technique and hamstring autografts using implant.
As lidocaine and ketamine provide analgesia by acting on different molecular pathways, administering them together may produce synergistic effects, which can allow for using a lower dose of each medication and thereby reducing the corresponding side effects. To the investigator's knowledge, despite the common practice of multimodal analgesia, lidocaine-ketamine infusions have never been studied prospectively in an out of hospital setting to treat neuropathic pain. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the current routine practice of lidocaine-ketamine infusions conducted at Allevio Pain Management Clinic, a large outpatient community based chronic pain management facility. Lidocaine-ketamine infusions are prescribed to patients that have pain that is considered to be neuropathic for which standard anti-neuropathic medications have been ineffective or poorly tolerated by patients. A prospective longitudinal study.
This pilot study evaluates a somatic mindfulness training. Reductions in mental and physical health correlates of secondary trauma are assessed using a pretest-posttest design.
