Filter by:This study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel series randomized trial aimed at verifying the effiicacy and safety of a local calcium-sulphate bio-absorbable antibiotic delivery (tobramicina+vancomicina) versus placebo (calcium-sulphate matrix without antibiotics) in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated with surgical procedures.
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify those situations in which the increase of lactate levels is not clinically relevant since it is associated with altered genetic polymorphism of the genes involved in the membrane proteins acting as carriers for lactate (mainly monocarboxylate transporters, MCTs) patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a relationship between the lactate levels in the immediate post-operative period and the presence of some lactate receptor polymorphisms? 2. Can hyperlactacidemia related to lactate receptor polymorphisms affect length of stay in the recovery room and/or in intensive care unit, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications? - Which are the risk factors for hyperlactacidemia in the immediate post-operative period in addition to the presence of lactate receptors polymorphisms? Participants will undergo pre-operative genomic assay testing.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of a laxative before surgery in women having surgery to fix pelvic prolapse that do not have constipation. The main question it aims to answer is: Does use of a laxative before surgery lessen the discomfort of bowel movements after surgery? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires before and after surgery. Researchers will compare using the laxative before and after surgery versus only after surgery to see if there is less discomfort with bowel movements after surgery.
This is a prospectively randomized controlled trial to compare RAMIE and MIE in the treatment for locally advanced ESCC after neoadjuvant therapy. According to previous studies, long-term survival after RAMIE seemed to be at least comparable to MIE or open esophagectomy. Therefore, the RAMIE-2 study was designed as a non-inferiority trial, which was based on the hypothesis that the 5-year overall survival of patients who received RAMIE is uncompromised to MIE. To achieve the primary endpoint, 260 cases will be recruited in our hospital. Based on the volume of esophagectomy (1000 cases/year) and the proportion of patients with neoadjuvant therapy (50%) in our institution, approximately 10 patients will be enrolled for each group per month for this trial. The study will be performed in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. Written informed consent will be obtained from each participant. The flow chart of this trial is also presented.
The study will test the hypothesis, that the use of medial wedge insoles in people participating in comprehensive rehabilitation between 1-6 months after total hip replacement, and not having a varus deformity of the knee or symptomatic arthrosis of the medial knee compartment, will improve patient's functioning, the symmetry of gait and stance compared to persons using sham insoles. The participants will undergo a 6-week program of in-patient rehabilitation aimed at: pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain management, improvement of vascular function, cardiopulmonary function, functions of skeletal muscles, range of motion and stability of peripheral joints, gait function, body position. The rehabilitation program will also address individual needs with psychotherapy and vocational therapy. The study will help to identify correlations between gait parameter change and functional improvement during the rehabilitation following THR. Study participants will be provided with individually made corrective medial wedge insoles or sham insoles and instructed to use them during gait training and everyday activities. Functional parameters will be examined at the study entry, at the end of 6 weeks of intervention, and 6 weeks following discharge.
This trial is a multicenter prospective cohort study to explore timing of colorectal cancer surgery after COVID-19 infection so that can assist clinicians and patients. Currently, there is less evidence on perioperative outcomes after COVID-19 vaccination and the omicron variant. Therefore, it is necessary to update previously published consensus which recommends that patients should avoid elective surgery within 7 weeks of COVID-19 infection remain, unless the benefits of doing so exceed the risk of waiting. Aiming at the above problems, we plan to carry out a multicenter prospective cohort study to develop perioperative management according patients' different conditions.

The optimal treatment of uncomplicated native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO) is unknown. While some authors recommend surgical treatment (consisting of spinal debridement, decompression and instrumentation using hardware implantation of hardware), others recommend conservative treatment (with antimicrobial therapy alone). In the proposed randomized controlled multicentric trial, we plan to compare the outcome of conservative vs, surgical treatment of NVO regarding (i) infection outcome (i.e. infection-free proportion of subjects), (ii) functional outcome (pain intensity, spine scores, general mobility, quality of life evaluation), and (iii) socioeconomic impact (direct and indirect costs due to NVO). A total of 350 subjects will be screened, 300 subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 arms: experimental (surgical treatment) and control (conservative treatment). Subjects in both groups will receive pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy for 6 weeks. Excluded will be patients with acute neurologic impairment, extensive bone destruction, epidural/intraspinal abscess and with spinal hardware. The clinical impact of this study is enormous since it will generate evidence for rational treatment guidelines. We hypothesize that the conservative treatment of uncomplicated NVO is non-inferior to surgical therapy regarding infection outcome. If the conservative treatment of NVO demonstrate non-inferiority, patients may benefit from avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention.
This is a single-blinded RCT evaluating the effect of robotic-assisted (RM) or conventional laparoscopic surgery (LM) in the management of uterine leiomyomas.
Fibrin glue is widely used in ophthalmology for homeostasis and tissue recovery. It is commonly used in ocular surface surgeries such as pterygium removal and conjunctival lesions excisions. In Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR), sutures are used to reconnect the conjunctiva and Muller muscle, which causes discomfort and pain for the patient. The investigators' goal is to explore using fibrin glue instead of sutures in MMCR surgeries to shorten the procedure's length and alleviate patients discomfort and pain. This is especially important in the management of children suffering ptosis, where sedation and even general anaesthesia is required for sutured removal as a secondary procedure.
