Filter by:Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common pregnancy complication in women of reproductive age and the cause of RSA remains largely unclear. Acupuncture is widely used in clinical practice to treat infertility and abortion. The role of acupuncture in the treatment of infertility is still unclear. The investigators conducted a randomized, prospective, controlled clinical trial to investigate its potential impact on pregnancy outcome. Herein, the investigators not only evaluated the changes in patients' psychological stress before and after treatment but also followed up on pregnancy outcomes. In addition, changes in uterine artery blood flow were observed by ultrasound. Changes in coagulation-related indicators were also detected.
This study aims to test the effectiveness of uSINE-PAMS technology for lumbar puncture compared to traditional landmark-based technique. uSINE is a machine-learning software designed to aid the operators in ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture while PAMS is a two-part hardware to translate data from ultrasound to accurate needle insertion and angulation.
EcoID is a study designed as an adaptive controlled clinical trial with a first phase of superiority and a second phase of non-inferiority with change of control, of parallel groups, random assignment and blinding of investigators measuring outcome.
In patients diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)/borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and planned chemotherapy using FOLFIRINOX, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)/FOLFIRINOX combined treatment is performed on patients who agree to this study. The combined treatment group is treated in parallel with FOLFIRINOX and HIFU for the first four cycles and then CT is taken for reaction evaluation immediately, 2 months, and 4 months after the four-cycle treatment. For the response assessment, the response rate using RECIST ver. 1.1 and operable rate are evaluated and compared with the results of already established FOLFIRINOX single treatment in the investigators' institute. Time-to-progress and overall survival are calculated.
Open-label, single-arm, prospective study. Subjects will undergo one session of 2D Transthoracic Echocardiogram (2D-TTE) ultrasound. The ultrasound will be performed by a trained sonographer.
Post-operative monitoring of all patients after anaesthesia in the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) is standard of care today. It helps to reduce morbidity and even mortality in high-risk patients. In addition to clinical monitoring by qualified personnel, this monitoring also includes, commonly non-invasive, intermittent, haemodynamic monitoring. This monitoring is also used to evaluate the transferability of patients from the PACU to the ward. The aim of our study is to perform extended monitoring of volume status and haemodynamics with non-invasive monitoring methods such as transthoracic echocardiography and the volume clamp method in the recovery room.
to compare the efficacy of HIFU treatment with standard treatment in two situations: 1. as first-line cancer treatment, HIFU is compared to radical prostatectomy. 2. for patients with recurrence after external beam radiotherapy, HIFU treatment is compared to radical prostatectomy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about focused power ultrasound (FPU)-mediated perirenal fat (PRF) ablation for lowering serum cholesterol levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of focused power ultrasound (FPU)-mediated perirenal fat ablation for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels? Participants will randomly receive PRF ablation or sham treatment, and undergo follow-up at 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months post-procedure.
The Era of using ultrasound guided blocks provides an attractive and more or less safe alternative to other techniques. Among these blocks is ultrasound-guided transverse abdominis plane block (USG-TAP block) that controls pain by local anesthetic injection into the neurofascial plane of the abdominal muscles. Ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (USG-TPVB) is another technique in which local anesthetic is injected nearby the thoracic vertebra where spinal nerve emerges from the intervertebral foramina. It provides ipsilateral somatic and sympathetic blockade in many dermatomes around the injection site. The aim of this study is to verify which technique is more efficient in reducing the intra- and postoperative analgesic requirements in hepatic patients.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound combined with CT-guided sympathetic ganglion block for refractory pain caused by sympathetic neuropathy of the lower extremities.
