Aim This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality distraction versus positive pre-visit imagery intervention on children's dental fear and anxiety during local anaesthesia injection. Research Hypotheses 1. Children who receive Virtual reality distraction or Positive pre-visit imagery intervention exhibit less dental fear and anxiety levels during LA injection than those who do not. 2. Children who receive Virtual reality distraction exhibit less dental fear and anxiety levels during LA injection than those who receive Positive pre-visit imagery intervention.
Background: To maintain the body temperature of preterm newborns is one of the essential criteria for discharge from hospital. Aim: we aimed to assess the feasibility and the safety of an early weaning protocol from incubator to unheated cot at 1400 g preterm newborns. Methods: This was a randomized control trial with preterm neonates with birth weights < 1400 g conducted at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We compared newborns weaned to cot at a weight of 1400 g to newborns weaned at a weight of 1600 g. The outcome was to assess the feasibility of the protocol in terms of temperature control and average weight gain. Results: A total of 23 preterm neonates were recruited in this study. The baseline characteristics were similar except for the gestational age was higher in the newborns enrolled to 1400 g group. Early weaning was achieved in 100% of newborns without significant adverse effects on temperature stability or weight gain. Incidence of low and high temperatures per newborn and the average weight gain before and after transfer and after transfer were not different between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results showed the feasibility and safety of 1400 g weaning protocol for preterm newborns, without any adverse effects or increasing the neonatal length of hospital stay. Further investigations in larger patient groups are recommended.
Femoral and adductor nerve blocks with ultrasonography(USG) guidance are used effectively and efficiently in post-operative pain management in lower extremity surgical procedures. However, the superiority of these two blocks to each other is still controversial. In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, patients who underwent elective unilateral knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia, will be performed postoperative femoral block or middle adductor canal block with the guidance of USG.Patients who underwent spinal anesthesia and needed sedoanalgesia and who had to switch to general anesthesia will be excluded from the study. The patients will be divided into two groups by simple randomization. Since a total of 52 patients should be included in the study as a result of the power analysis (G-power 3.1); It is planned to take approximately 26 patients for each group.The anesthesiologist, who follows the pain control and mobilization after the block, will not know which study group the patient is in. The blocks will be performed behind the cover while the patient is under spinal anesthesia (Thus, the point of application of the block will not be noticed). In this way, the patient and the anesthesiologist who follows the parameters after the block will be blind to patient's arm. In the first group, 0.25% 20 ml of local anesthetic and middle adductor canal block, in the second group 0.25% 20 ml of local anesthetic and femoral nerve block will be applied We will compare these two blocks in terms of early mobilization, postoperative pain control, motor, and sensory block.
To explore a bridging index for the effectiveness of the clinical trial with Nasal Spray Lyophilized Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine
This is a pilot study to assess the utility of the automatic stenosis index quantification using 3D Slicer software (Computer-based Quantification). We will recruit three physicians to perform a similar analysis using video images of the same bronchoscopes images (Human-based Quantification). This study relates to the latter data collection.
NLRC4, an inflammasome , is a cytosolic multiprotein complex involved in the initiation and modulation of the immune response. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. It has been said that proinflammatory cytokines released in the microenvironment of periodontitis can increase the expression of NLRC4 inflammasome genes. The authors think that NLRC4 may play a role in the periodontitis. The aim of this study is to compare the NLRC4, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
To establish feasibility and safety of the use of external pop out as a novel technique for foetal head delivery during c s, the effect of application of this method on a previously scarred uterus will be studied as a better way regarding preservation of the integrity of the lower uterine segment, operative time, time needed for head delivery, incision extension, blood loss, incidence of bladder injury.
One of the main objectives of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of the tooth's supporting periodontal tissue to its original levels. The healing after non-surgical and conventional surgical methods is histologically characterized by a long junctional epithelium along the root surfaces. Therefore, reconstructive techniques are required. Although complete periodontal regeneration is unpredictable with any regenerative therapy currently used, so the objective of our trial is to get complete periodontal regeneration by using Sticky Bone and Repeated Injectable PRF (iPRF) in Management of Periodontal Intrabony Defects.
A parallel-group non-inferiority randomized controlled trial will then be conducted to evaluate the performance of HIVST-Chatbot. A total of 528 Hong Kong Chinese speaking men who have sex with men (MSM) aged ≥18 years who have access to live-chat applications are recruited from multiple sources. Those who are diagnosed as HIV positive are excluded. Participants are 1:1 randomized into the intervention group (n=264) or the control group (n=264). The research team will implement the HIVST-Chatbot (HIVST services with real-time counselling provided by a fully-automated artificial intelligence Chatbot) in the intervention group and HIVST-OIC (HIVST with real-time counselling provided by trained administrators) in the control group. Participants completed two telephone surveys at baseline and six months afterwards.
This is an open-label, single-arm, exploratory study planned to include 40 patients with HRD-positive HR +/HER2- advanced breast cancer treated with Adebrelimab in combination with fluzoparib. To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adebrelimab combined with fluzoparib in the treatment of HRD-positive HR +/HER2-advanced breast cancer
