Filter by:The purpose of this research is to test a software tool called the "Chang Gung" Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction screening software, which uses a 12-lead electrocardiogram to determine if a patient has left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The goal is to determine if the software can accurately identify patients with this condition, which would help doctors diagnose and treat it more effectively. The trial will involve using the software on patients and comparing its results to those obtained through echocardiograms, which are currently the gold standard for diagnosing left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Only patients who meet specific eligibility criteria will be able to participate in the trial, and the software will be administered by trained healthcare professionals. The study will help determine if the software is a useful tool for diagnosing left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes for patients. The research team will collect and analyze data on the accuracy of the software and its usability in clinical practice. Overall, this study will provide important information for doctors and patients about a new tool for diagnosing left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Study will be a randomized clinical trial which will incorporate two different interventions soft tissue release and vaginal dilators use would be administered to the women with genito pelvic pain. Subjects meeting the predetermined inclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using lottery method. Assessment will be done using GPPPD, Vancouver Visual Analogue Scale, female sexual function index and pelvic floor impact questionnaire. Subjects in one group will be treated with soft tissue release and vaginal dilators. And the other will be treated with soft tissue release only. Each subject will receive a total 09 treatment sessions, with 03 treatment sessions per week. Measurements will be recorded at baseline, 5th and 9th treatment session.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous nephrolithotomyin different positions supine, prone positions and flank suspend supine position in renal stones treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a combined perineal massage and warm compresses intervention on the perineum integrity during second stage of labor.
evaluation of safety and efficacy of 'Pivot Bridge' to short-term treat Functional Tricuspid regurgitation
The annual number of live births in Türkiye is 1,112,859 in 2020 and the estimated incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is between 5 and 15 per 1000 live births. The implementation of the National DDH Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program by the Türkiye Republic of the Ministry of Health in 2010 significantly reduced the number of patients with DDH diagnosed more than 6 months later. If not appropriately treated, DDH can cause a decrease in the number of healthy life years, and workforce losses, which consequently burdens the social security system and government budget. The vast majority of clinical trials comprise risk factors associated with complications after treatment of DDH. Moreover, studies involving functional assessments are generally focused on adult DDH patients with surgical indications. To the best of the investigators' knowledge, mid-term patient-reported and performance-based functionality has not been examined in conservatively treated patients. In addition, it is not known whether the diagnosis of unilateral and bilateral DDH in these patients will make a difference in daily activities which require bilateral functionality of the lower limbs. Therefore, in this study, the investigators examined and compared the mid-term patient-reported and performance-based functional outcomes in patients with unilateral and bilateral DDH treated with a hip abduction brace. This study provides new data on mid-term functionality in children with unilateral and bilateral DDH. It can guide determining the lower extremity functional levels of school-age children with DDH, regular follow-up, early diagnosis, and treatment planning for problems.
Septal myectomy is performed in selected cases to treat patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The mechanism that causes obstruction involves both the outflow tract itself and the mitral apparatus, with the appearance of mitral regurgitation (MR) by SAM (Systolic Anterior Motion). When the interventricular septum is not particularly thick, isolated myectomy may not be sufficient to eliminate the SAM; in these cases the concomitant treatment of the mitral valve is considered. Different approaches have been proposed: mitral replacement with prosthesis, plication or lengthening of the anterior leaflet or the edge-to-edge (EE) technique. In addition, a small proportion of patients with HOCM may have MR from organic valve abnormalities, requiring specific treatment. Currently, there are few studies in the literature aimed at determining the role of EE in the context of HOCM; most of these studies are characterized by short follow-up or by the scarcity of echocardiographic data. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of EE associated with septal myectomy in patients with CMIO, both from a clinical point of view and by reporting echocardiographic data.
The study aims to determine whether CMC I arthroplasty using a Touch® implant results in higher patient satisfaction compared to RSI arthroplasty in the medium-term in patients with primary thumb osteoarthritis. Additionally, the study compares the patients' clinical and self-reported outcomes between the Touch® implant and the RSI arthroplasty. Therefore, patients with a Touch® implant in one thumb and an RSI arthroplasty in the other thumb will be recruited.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022. The main questions it aims to answer are: - amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively - mean digital pain scale Data are directly extracted from patients medical files. The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.
The aim is to investigate the accuracy of manual diagnostics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by comparing it to BPPV diagnostics in mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair). VNG (videonystagmography) goggles will be used in both scenarios. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the importance of angulation and velocity in relation to the diagnostic outcome.
