Laparoscopic excision of endometriotic cysts is the main stream surgical intervention for treatment of endometriosis. However there is evidence that intervention may effect ovarian reserve by destruction of healthy ovarian tissue during surgery. Available evidence on the topic are contradictory and employed research methodology are diverse. There is need for an adequately powered research with proper methodology to assess actual effects of surgery.
This trial is designed to compare diagnostic and therapeutic effects of laparoscopy vs. laparotomy on early malignant ovarian cancer, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy in early malignant ovarian cancer.
Background: Effectiveness of Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) on prevention of events of stroke and death in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is controversial. Aim: to determine whether PTAS plus medical treatment (MT) are superior to MT alone in preventing events of stroke and death in patients with symptomatic ICAS. Methods: The investigators will carry out a randomized controlled trial in 3 hospitals in China. A total of 198 patients with ICAS will be randomized into 2 groups: PTAS+MT and MT group. All patients will receive aspirin (100 mg daily) and clopidogrel (75 mg daily) immediately after randomization, and patients in PTAS+MT group will receive surgery within 5 days after randomization. The patients will be followed up for 1 year after randomization and assessed for events of stroke and death at 30 days and 1 year after randomization, the incidence of recurrent ischaemic stroke in the stenting-involved vascular territory at 30 days and 1 year after randomization, incidence of in-stent restenosis at 1 year after randomization,etc.
Low intensity shockwaves for treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have been in evaluation for the past 5 years. Many researchers showed the effectiveness of Low intensity shockwaves of in accelerating the healing rate of non-ischemic chronic DFUs. Wang et al. showed, the use of Low intensity shockwaves on DFUs, significantly improved topical blood flow perfusion rate, increased cell proliferation and cell activity and decreased cell apoptosis. The present study deals with the effect of low intensity shockwaves on DFUs. Shockwave treatment will be done together with the standard conventional treatment for DFUs, compared to a control group who will receive the same conventional standard of care.
Adaptation of the maternal immune system to accommodate the semi-allogeneic fetus is necessary for pregnancy success. Dysregulation of this immune adaptation is implicated in reproductive disorders as infertility, recurrent miscarriage, fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. The mechanisms being responsible for fetal tolerance are not known. Several T cell subsets have been implicated in fetal tolerance. The effects of preeclampsia on memory cells are not known. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of preeclampsia on levels of immune cells.
Will a laparoscopic Single-Anastomosis Duodenal-ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy produce similar or superior results when compared to a laparoscopic Duodenal Switch, as a primary surgical procedure for weight loss in bariatric patients over a 5 year period?
Individualized colonoscopy withdrawal time is determined based on the different grade of physician experience and quality of bowel preparation.
The measured product in this research is a product for topical use, Laboratoires Mercurochrome Reparador e Protetor. The expected benefit to the use of the product is the improvement in skin hydration as measured by self perception of participant research and clinical evaluation and improvement in local microcirculation, assessed by instrumental measurements in feet of the study participants.
This is the Phase 3 of a 3 phase study to determine the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a health microinsurance scheme in improving health equity and clinical outcomes for private primary care (PPC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This two-arm, pre-post, quasi-experimental trial consisted of utilizing a HMI scheme (experimental clinic) and normal OOP payments (control clinic) for 6 months. The HMI scheme enabled subscribed households to access a defined benefit package at a selected PPC for treatment and follow-up.
Hip Muscle Strength in femoro-acetabular impingement participants versus normal controls. To investigate the hip muscle strength in a normal control group and compare this to patients who have a diagnosis of femoro-acetabular impingement (diagnosed clinically and with confirmed radiological features).
