This study aim to compare the cost-effectiveness and safety between centrally and peripherally inserted central venous catheters in neurosurgical intensive care unit patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results and MRI imaging of autologous cartilage reconstructions or collagen matrix of the knee. There is currently little data in the literature on clinical outcomes and imaging of this type of lesion.
The aim of the study is to prospectively assess the role of mpMRI as a non invasive method for assessment of possible residual tumor after initial resection of non muscle invasive bladder tumor.
Hepatic resection is the most effective curative treatment for resectable HCC, whereas frequent recurrence usually impaired the efficacy of hepatic resection and contributed poor survivals. PVTT has been certified as an independent risk of early recurrence. Although TACE has been used to decrease the intraheptic recurrence. However, the intraheptic recurrence rate remains high and meanwhile it is uncapable to suppress extrahepatic recurrence. In addition, systematic therapy the small molecular target antiangiogenesis medicine sorafenib were used to prevent recurrence. Unfortunately, the STORM trial shows that postoperative antiangiogenesis therapy was failed to suppress recurrence and prolong survival period for HCC patients. Thus, novel effective systematic therapy to suppress postoperative recurrence is in urgent need. At present, the PD-1 antibody has presented a promising and safe therapeutic result of unresectable HCC and provided good survival benefit for advanced HCC patients. Consistent with this, we proposed a hypothesis that a novel immunetherapy using the PD-1 antibody could suppress postoperative recurrence and prolong HCC patients survival period effectively.
This study examines the effect of adjuvant therapy with the oral beta-agonist Salbutamol in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis on stable standard of care having residual symptoms.
More than 20% of patients over 60 years old develop postoperative delirium following non-cardiac surgery . Delirium increases morbidity and mortality , and may lead to long-term cognitive impairment . The underlying mechanisms behind delirium are not understood , endothelial dysfunction and disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB ) caused by perioperative systemic inflammation may play a important role in the development of delirium . This study intends to evaluate the relationship between neuroinflammation and postoperative delirium in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients . The results of the study are to identify risk factors and explore the biomarkers most closely linked to each step of the proposed pathway .
The investigators study 160 patients undergoing spinal surgery.Participants will be randomly divided into study group and control group.The study group will receive controlled hypotension by nitroglycerin and be divided into 3 groups according to CI.
This study intends to explore a new therapy to reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation in thoracic patient who receive video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy .The results of the study are to assess the effects of this new intervention on the incidenceļ¼duration of atrial fibrillation and other complications including postoperative delirium after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy .And reducing the burden of POAF on patients and their families, hospitals and public resources.
Gastrostomy tube placement is a common surgery, and involves placing a tube from the child's skin to the inside of their stomach, allowing an alternative route for nutrition and medication to patients who cannot tolerate oral intake. A common complication of gastrostomy tubes is the development of a persistent connection between the stomach and skin after their removal. This is called a gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF). Non-surgical options have shown some success in eliminating the need for surgery to close these fistulae. Their true efficacy is unknown however; this study evaluates a non-surgical intervention bundle in the prevention and treatment of GCFs.
