Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient management of complicated acute appendicitis. For this purpose, a randomized clinical trial was designed. Selected patients who have undergone surgery for acute appendicitis are randomized into two groups. One group with hospitalization and another group without admission.
Diagnosing acute appendicitis in children is still a challenge even for experienced clinicians. Failure to recognize this acute condition can result in perforation, with consequent peritonitis, or misdiagnosis can result in negative appendectomies. C-reactive protein in blood can be elavated in children with acute appendicitis. The aim of this research is to compare the diagnostic value of C-reactive protein from the blood and saliva of children with acute appendicitis and to prove wheter the analysis of biomarker from saliva as a minimally invasive procedure can be sufficient for diagnosis.
To evaluate Diagnostic accuracy of Non-contrast CT in correlation with ultrasound in diagnosis of acute appendicitis in adults
Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) is a new and minimally invasive method for the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis.After a positive diagnosis of acute appendicitis is established by either colonoscopic direct-vision imaging or fluoroscopic endoscopic retrograde appendicography (ERA) imaging in patients with suspected acute appendicitis, the procedures to relieve the appendiceal lumen obstruction including appendiceal luminal irrigation, appendicolith removal, and stenting for drainage whenever necessary will be carried out. In this multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial, the patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis will be divided into three groups randomly: ERAT group, antibiotic therapy group and appendectomy group. The primary outcome is duration of abdominal pain. The secondary outcomes include mean hospital stay, mean operative time, duration of fever, duration of leukocytosis, bed time, rate of complication, rate of recurrence and rate of appendectomy during follow-up period of 1 year.
Rocuronium, a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, is used in general anesthesia to provide conditions for endotracheal intubating. Recommended dose is 0,6 mg/kg and 90 seconds after intravenous injection, patients can be intubated. Anxiety levels may vary in patients undergoing emergency and elective surgery. Patients undergoing emergency surgery may display exaggerated laryngoscopic responses. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of patient anxiety levels on the onset time of rocuronium in terms of anxiety scores and train of four (TOF) 0.1 times.
Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is nowadays considered the gold standard in fertile women affected by uncomplicated appendicitis. The level of evidence for benefits from LA in this subgroup is high. Since the dissemination of single access surgery (no-scars surgery) ameliorated outcome has been supposed in these patients regarding post-operative pain, hospital stay and cosmetics results, and keeping the same safety as LA. This randomized controlled study is supposed to give answers to these questions.
