Anlotinib In Combination With Durvalumab As Sequential Therapy of Thoracic Radiotherapy After Induction Chemotherapy For Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer:A Single Arm Study
Hyperosmotic agents are used to decrease intracranial pressure. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of continuous 3% hypertonic saline (HS), bolus HS and 20% mannitol on intraoperative brain relaxation in patients with raised intracranial pressure during surgery for supratentorial tumors.
The aim and objective of this study is to compare dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided TAP block analgesia in patients undergoing radical cystectomy as regarding postoperative analgesic efficacy.
The variabilities in the management approaches for patients with LBP reflect uncertainty about the optimal approach. Therefore, there is a need for the implementation of early treatment strategies relying on an evidence-based knowledge to treat the problems and reduce the risk for recurrence and chronicity of LBP. Advice is considered as the 'first in line' for the treatment of patients with LBP and is recommended in all international guidelines, yet it is under-utilized by the general practitioners. The current evidence in favor for the advice of staying active for patients with LBP is limited, with small or no benefits in pain relief, functional improvement or sick leave compared to rest in bed. Consequently, there is a huge gap between the evidence and practice. So, the current study aimed at filling this gap and expanding the previous findings by investigating the effect of the advice of staying active on the level of perceived pain, physical activity level, postural control and functional disability in patients with low risk LBP (with a total score of three or less based on the STarT Back Tool score).
The objective of the study is to answer the following questions :- 1. Is there an actual failure rate in tonsillitis treatment with amoxicillin clavulanate ? If yes, 2. What is (are) the possible reason(s) to explain it in our locality ?
This is a randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of standardized milk-based formulation, standardized non-milk based formulation and a hospital-based formulation in the management of children aged 6 - 59 months with moderate acute malnutrition. Eligible children will be randomized into one of the three intervention arms and given supplementary doses of the formulations at 50% of their daily caloric requirement for a period of four months based on the group of their assignment. The remainder will be obtained from their regular family diets. The clinical features, anthropometric measurements and laboratory parameters of the children will be assessed at baseline. The children will be followed up on two weekly basis for a period of four months during which further clinical assessment, anthropometric measurements and laboratory evaluations will be performed. The outcome measures will be determined based on "per protocol analysis".
Assess the accuracy of magnetic resonance-enterography in predicting the extension, location and characteristics of the small bowel segments affected by Crohn's disease& determine the diagnostic performance of standard MR enterography in detecting colonic inflammation and investigate MR enterography's ability to grade inflammatory activity and detect intestinal extra intestinal manifestations
The perspective of the patient is defined by the patient reported outcomes (PROs). This is a main part of the care in psoriatic arthritis. However , PROs can be influenced by environmental parameters. Ultrasound represents an objective instrument in the context of psoriatic rheumatism (RhPso) care because it measures inflammatory activity and structural damage at joint and periarticular level. it is the first study to evaluate the role of inflammatory and structural ultrasound abnormalities as a cause of modification of the patient's perspective measured by PROs in patients with RhPso.
The elderly are weakened by the accumulation of chronic diseases. Their acute decompensation often leads to unscheduled hospitalization, which constitutes a breach of care with often serious consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. Few studies have identified all the risk factors for unscheduled hospitalization in the very elderly. This project deals with the impact of air pollution on the very elderly as a source of physiological decompensations leading to unscheduled hospitalizations, in association with other individual and environmental risk factors. It complements the Rieho cohort that followed 973 elderly people on the same objective and enriches it with the use of sensors measuring the peri-individual atmospheric environment.
Alzheimer disease is the most common neurodegenerative brain disease that causes cognitive impairment in the elderly but also behavioral and psychological symptoms. Among these symptoms, agitation is one of the most dangerous because it put the patient and their caregivers in danger. Sleep disorders can be the cause of many psychiatric symptoms leading directly or indirectly to agitation. Music therapy is the non-drug therapy which has been shown to be the most effective in managing agitation and sleep disorders. With the MAGE protocol, the investigators propose to take care of behavioral disorders in severe Alzheimer patients living in nursing home through sequences of music therapy (stimulation, relaxation) automatically initiated by an actigraph that will detect sleep disorders. These subjects will be exposed for 2 weeks over a month. Behavioral and sleep disorders will be evaluated objectively by actigraphy but also by standardized scales, as the others neuropsychiatric symptoms found classically in this disease. Thanks to this project, the investigators hope to improve the quality of life of these patients by preventing them from putting themselves in danger, by reducing their neuropsychiatric symptoms and their use of medication, which has often deleterious side effect and also by reducing the workload of caregivers.
