This study seeks to define what constitutes an MCID and a PASS in patients undergoing a variety of elective major orthopedic surgery.
Isolated tubal torsion is a very rare event already in adults (1: 1.5 million women), it remains exceptional in children without being able to find a prevalence in the literature. The causes can be malformative or idiopathic, but even that remains unknown. Because of the scarcity, surgical treatment is not standardized and left to the good care of the surgeon in charge.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become the third most common malignant tumor and is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Adenomatous polyps of the colon are possible precursor lesions for CRC. Screening for CRC has been shown effective in preventing CRC and related deaths, especially colonoscopy and resection of adenomatous polyps. Currently, for intermediate sized polyps 5 - 19 mm hot snare polypectomy (HSP) with the use of electrocautery is conventionally used, causing relevant adverse events including haemorrhage and postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome, but is safe regarding complete resection of the polyp due to burning effect on residual tissue. On the other hand, cold snare polypectomy (CSP) has grown popularity. Absence of electrocautery makes it technically easier and most important reduces adverse events. CSP is recommended as the preferred technique for polyps <5 mm by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines. In literature, there is one multicenter trial from Japan recommending CSP for polyps 4-9 mm (average polyp size 5,4 mm) and only a few case studies for polyps 10-15 mm with inconsistent results, especially regarding the complete resection and pathological evaluation of the specimen. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators want to compare the complete resection rates of small and intermediate sized colorectal polyps 5-15 mm with CSP and HSP.

This observational study will describe the incidence and risk factors of perioperative cardiac complications (PCCs) in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery in Tibet Autonomous Region. And perioperative troponin monitoring will be implemented in these population.
Cataract surgery with topic anesthesia is anxiety provoking. This operative stress can increase pain perception and blood pressure. This discomfort can lead to non-compliance with immobility and potentially lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications. Pharmacological means are limited to reduce anxiety. Only anxiolytics could be effective but at the cost of side effects not compatible with surgery. Music Care is a "digital treatment" allowing the diffusion of music with a U-shaped sequence using the principles of hypnoanalgesia. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the MusicCare listening device on the anxiety of patients during cataract surgery with topic anesthesia
Most of Colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed are candidates for surgical resection with curative intent, although colorectal surgery is associated with some complications that could be life-threatening. Antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly used prior to the admission for the prevention of postoperative complications. However, this intervention can change the composition of intestinal microbiota and promote adverse inflammatory outcomes in CRC patients after surgery. It seems the combination of different fungal extracts could be beneficial because of their role in gut microbiota modulation and their anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, the fungal extract nutraceutical MICODIGEST 2.0 could be used to reduced the complications after CRC surgery. Based on this hypothesis, we have designed a double-bind randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of MICODIGEST 2.0 on the complications after surgery with curative intent for CRC.
The gut microbiota provides an intestinal biological barrier against pathogens and has a pivotal role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and modulation of the host immune system. The gut microbiota in a dysbiotic state has increasingly been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of numerous diseases. However, whether dysbiosis reflects changes caused by the disease itself, or should be considered as a driving step in the pathogenesis, is not always understood. Dysbiosis results in the disturbance of several metabolic pathways that influence immunological and mechanical processes both in and outside the intestine, and it impairs colonization resistance. These processes may be reverted by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). FMT is a type of treatment that relies on transferring the microbiota that targets and corrects intestinal dysbiosis. FMT is based on collecting stool from healthy donors and - after preparation - administering the material to an individual with a specific disease. In summary, a subset of the symptoms associated with COVID-19 during the initial phase are intestinal complications, such as vomiting or diarrhea. Detecting these symptoms might not only lead to slowdown in transmission but also open the door to novel treatments that could reduce the severity of COVID-19.There is a positive correlation between severity of patient condition and level of proinflammatory cytokines (cytokine storm) in group of patients with COVID 19. Though numerous studies have been published on FMT for the treatment of certain diseases, there are only scarce studies on FMT for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. Antiviral mechanism depended on the gut-lung axis was intimately proved in case of flu virus. The same dependency is observed in SARS CoV2 as well. That seems, good condition of intestinal microbiota could impact on antiviral effects and inhibits replication of virus. This leads to inhibit progress of inflammatory process in lung tissue. Silencing of inflammatory process through reestablish right influence of gut-lung axis could be fundamental meaning in arresting of cytokines storm and development of ARDS in patients with COVID-19. The scientist rationale definitely argue a clear need to studies of gut wellbeing in COVID 19 and using FMT to reduce development of COVID 19. According to our knowledge FeMToCOVID will be the first clinical trial with using of FMT in COVID 19. We postulate FMT in the beginning of cytokine storm during CIVUD-19 may act as an immunomodulation and stop the progression of the disease.
