Filter by:Exploratory study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and ergonomics of Cutera truSculpt device.
The investigator will investigate the predictors includes cardiac biomarkers, endothelial function and cardiopulmonary exercise test in prediction of cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure discharged from hospital.
Central venous catheters are common in modern health care and are being increasingly used in both intensive care units and general wards. The primary aim of this study is to determine the incidence of mechanical complications within 24 hours after central venous catheterisation. The secondary aim is to identify risk factors associated with mechanical complications within 24 hours after catheterisation.
Safety and performance of the study devices in extremities over a time period of 6 months after intervention.
The study is prospectively conducted on 190 patients aged between 20 and 85 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I - III, undergoing one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery. Patients were randomly allocated into either control group (n = 95) or experimental group (n = 95) by a computerized randomization table. The size of endobronchial tube is decided based on the diameter of left main bronchus measured on the CT finding of patients. After induction of general anesthesia, in patients assigned to control group, endobronchial intubation is performed using conventional technique with left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tube (Shiley®, Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA). In experimental group, patients are intubated with novel double-lumen endobronchial tube (Ankor®,Insung Medical, Wonjou, S. Korea). During intubation, the carina cuff of Ankor® is inflated after the tube is rotated 90º toward the left. The tube is advanced until slight resistance is felt, then the carina cuff is deflated. In both groups, fiberoptic bronchoscope is performed to evaluate the position of endobronchial tube after intubation. If endobronchial tube is not in optimal position, the depth of tube is corrected to optimal position under guidance of fiberoptic bronchoscope. Airway injury is confirmed using fiberoptic bronchoscope before extubation. The success of endobronchial intubation, position of endobronchial tube, the corrected depth of endobronchial tube, time consumption for endobronchial intubation and complication of intubation such as airway injury, pain, and hoarseness are compared between two groups.
Patients with disrupted wounds will either managed as usual or managed by Platelet rich plasma local infiltration in the wound edges
The aim of the present study is to show that i.v. ketamine boluses might lead to significant and clinically relevant BIS index increase that might lead to an increase in anesthesia dosing (halogenous gas) when compared to an i.v. continuous infusion of ketamine without any bolus.
Mandibular ridge splitting with complete separation of the buccal cortical plate versus Khoury shell technique for horizontal augmentation of atrophic posterior mandible
With funding from the Alberta Ministry of Labour (Grant #095244772), a program called POWERPLAY (www.powerplayatwork.com), designed to promote men's health at work, will be evaluated in workplaces in Alberta.
This study will develop and pilot test a novel intervention module targeting perceived burdensomeness toward others in 30 clinic referred youths who experience anxiety or depression and elevated levels of burdensomeness. All participants will be assigned to receive the intervention in this open trial.
