All hysterectomies were performed intrafascially using the clamp-cut-ligate method as described by (Jones, 2003); Careful examination under anesthesia. Catheterization by N. 18 Foley's catheter and its balloon Filled with 10-ml saline.A transverse lower abdominal incision (Pfannenstiel incision) ranging from 8-12 cm through which the abdomen is opened in layers. During subtotal hysterectomy procedure, the corpus is amputated just below the level of the isthmus and then the endocervical canal is electrocoagulated using monopolar electrocautery. The cervical stump is closed using vicryl 0 sutures. During total hysterectomy procedure, the urinary bladder is dissected off the lower uterine segment of the uterus and cervix by blunt or sharp dissection. Blunt dissection is done using a finger pushed gently against the cervix rather than against the bladder. Sharp dissection using Metzenbaum scissors is performed in patients with previous cesarean sections, with upward traction on the bladder peritoneum and the uterine fundus stretched tightly out of the pelvis, the tips of the Metzenbaum scissors rest lightly on the fascia overlying the cervix with small bites to develop a tissue plane, dissecting the bladder from the anterior cervix. Revision of all pedicles to ensure hemostasis. Intraoperative antibiotics (1 gm of a 3rd generation cephalosporin + 0.5 gm metronidazole). The abdomen is closed in layers; the wound is covered with a sterile dressing. All specimens were sent for pathological examination in the pathology Unit.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been proven to process a strong association in patient of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Monitoring plasma EBV DNA in NPC patients can provide reliable informations in early detecting tumor recurrence or risk grouping.
The primary purpose of this study is electronic data collection of arterial pressure waveform signals in patients with Aortic Stenosis. The collected digital pressure waveform data will be used to assess the feasibility of using the arterial pressure signal as a decision support tool for early detection of aortic stenosis conditions. Furthermore we evaluate hemodynamic parameters before and after valve repair and its correlation with outcome.
Recent observations in Germany revealed above-average high proportions of refugees affected by infectious diseases of public health significance. Scrutiny of the vaccination status showed sizeable presence of seronegative subjects, with conspicuously higher prevalence among children and adolescents, thus indicating urgent necessity of i) rapid identification of carriers of vaccine-preventable diseases and ii) adjustment of protection against such infections to European Standards. Rapid immune status check needs comprehensive diagnostic tool permitting simultaneous assessment of seropositivity. Validation of such tools requires comparisons of the immune status of subjects with known vaccination history with that of migrants with incomplete or missing health and vaccination records.
Breast, colorectal, ovarian, and endometrial cancers constitute approximately 30% of newly diagnosed cancer cases in Switzerland and affect more than 12,000 individuals annually. Several hundred of these patients are likely to carry known genetic mutations associated with HBOC or LS. Genetic testing for hereditary susceptibility to cancer can prevent many cancer deaths through early identification and engagement in high-risk management care that involves intensive surveillance, chemoprevention and/or prophylactic surgery. However, current rates of genetic testing indicate that many Swiss mutation carriers and their family members do not use cancer genetic services (counseling and/or testing), either due to lack of coordination of care or due to lack of communication about the mutation among family members. Cascade screening identifies and tests family members of a known mutation carrier. It determines whether asymptomatic family members are carriers of the identified mutation and proposes management options to reduce harmful outcomes. Robust evidence of basic science and descriptive population-based studies in Switzerland support the necessity of cascade screening for HBOC and LS. However, translation of this knowledge into public health interventions is lacking. Specific Aims of the CASCADE study are: 1. Survey Index Patients diagnosed with HBOC or LS from clinic-based genetic testing records and determine their cancer status and surveillance practices; needs for coordination of medical care; psychosocial needs; patient-provider and patient-family communication needs; quality of life; willingness to serve as advocates for cancer genetic services for blood relatives. 2. Survey first- and second-degree relatives, and first cousins identified from pedigrees and/or family history records of HBOC and LS Index Patients and determine their cancer and mutation status; cancer surveillance practices; needs for coordination of medical care; barriers and facilitators to using cancer genetic services; psychosocial needs; patient-provider and patient-family communication needs; quality of life; willingness to participate in a study designed to increase use of cancer genetic services. 3. Explore the influence of patient-provider communication about genetic cancer risk on patient-family communication and the acceptability of a family-based communication, coping, and decision support intervention with focus group(s) of mutation carriers and blood relatives.
In patients with central obesity, the effect of the abdominal corset on colonoscopy completeness, cecum and ileum intubation time will be investigated.
Spontaneous non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common symptom in clinical practice and is the most serious among all types of stroke.Recently, as a relatively mainstream and recognized INTERACT2 (five well-known international studies in the cerebrovascular field: IMS-III, MR RESCUE, SYNTHESIS EXPANSION, INTERACT2, CHANCE) studies have shown that in patients with standard systolic blood pressure Early intensive antihypertensive therapy does not increase the incidence of death or serious adverse events. The above studies confirm the safety and efficacy of early potent depression.In 2017, Anesthesiology published a META analysis of intraoperative hypotension and blood pressure versus baseline fluctuations. The final outcome showed that 20% of blood pressure in the study was similar to MAP <65 mmHg, regardless of the duration of the duration There will be postoperative myocardial and renal damage. Ischemia is a very important cause of organ damage. Myocardial injury is closely related to the level of mean arterial pressure, while ischemia and ischemic reperfusion injury are closely related to postoperative acute renal injury.There is no targeted guideline for ICH perioperative blood pressure management, especially intraoperative blood pressure management, and no previous studies have studied most of the studies involving ICH patients with conservative treatment, ICH patients with surgical treatment There are few reports on blood pressure control during surgery.
In this study, CART cells are targeted to GPC3 by intratumor injected that we hope by this means could improve the local CAR-T cell numbers, meanwhile reduce the potential side effects.
This study will be conducted to Assess possible reduction in lipid profile (LDL-Triglecerides-cholesterol) among pre-menopausal women in vit D group compared to standard treatment group after 3 months & 6 month of follow up as prophylaxis step for atherosclerosis.
Patients who have sustained and survived a polytrauma do heavily depend on the support and functioning of their family. This is only possible if the family members are physically and mentally able to cope with the situation. It is the investigators' hypothesis that the true percentage of polytrauma patients' relatives suffering under relevant psychological distress is higher than commonly assumed. The investigators conduct a prospective cohort study where we follow up on a cohort of patients and their relatives over 1 year after trauma - one group with severely injured patients (case) and one group with minor musculo-skeletal injuries (control). In order to assess the influence of the patients' disability and their own psychological distress on the psychological distress of the relatives, the investigators also collect corresponding data from the patients themselves. In order to assess the influence of the trauma itself, the investigators compare a group of multiple injured patients and their relatives with a group of patients with isolated musculoskeletal injuries and their relatives. In addition, the investigators record the ISS of each patient. In order to investigate the changes in relatives' distress over time and to find out more about potential risk factors or con-founders it is necessary to conduct a prospective study.
