Filter by:Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a recent innovation in minimally invasive surgery which has already proven its non-inferiority to conventional abdominal laparoscopy (CAL) for hysterectomy in terms of efficiency and safety. However, the investigators note a lack of medical literature and no specific randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing women's sexual function after vNOTES for benign adnexal surgery. The aim of this RCT is to confirm the non-inferiority of the vNOTES approach for benign adnexal pathology compared to CAL on women's sexual function. Secondary outcomes will evaluate vNOTES's efficiency, morbidity and postoperative complications compared to CAL for benign adnexal surgery. The relationship between adnexal mass morcellation/aspiration and the quality of the histological analysis on surgical specimens will also be evaluated as secondary outcome.

Surgery All patients included in this study underwent UPPP under general anesthesia with a low-temperature plasma ablation apparatus (PLA-600; Zhongyuan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.; Shandong, China). Briefly, the surgery was carried out under general anesthesia using a nasal cannula. A 70# low-temperature plasma cutter head was used to perform bilateral epicapsular ablation of the tonsils. Inverted "U" incisions were made on the bilateral soft palate respectively, and the 70# cutter head progressively melted the adipose tissue and other soft tissues in the the veli palatine region. Subsequently, a 55# low-temperature plasma cutter head was used to perform perforation and ablation from between the two mucosal layers of the soft palate to the direction of the hard palate, with 2-3 holes on each side, and each ablation time was 8-12 s. Treatments Patients in both the 2 groups received amoxicillin sodium suspension every 8 hours for 7 days after UPPP. Except for these drugs, patients in the treatment group were instructed to gargle the suspension solution containing honeysuckle and semen oroxyli (25 mL) for 5 minutes. The solution was given 4 times a day for 2 weeks. The patients in the control group were instructed to gargle normal saline (25 mL) at the same schedule. No NSAIDs were administered unless requested by the patient. Data collection The post-operative resting throat pain and swallowing throat pain were evaluated at 0 week (12 hours after surgery), 1 week and 2 weeks after UPPP by the patients themselves using a visual analog scale (VAS) based on a linear scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represented an absence of pain and 10 represented maximal pain. Then, the changes of scores from week 0 to week 2 between the 2 groups were compared. The VAS scores related to patient comfort level were also evaluated by patients themselves, with 0 representing very much worse and 10 very much comfort. Furthermore, the researchers who were blinded to the therapeutic regimens evaluated the improvement in postoperative pain of patients within the 2-week postoperative period based on the clinical global impression of improvement (CGI-I score) questionnaire. In this questionnaire, the researchers used a seven-point scale from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) to rate the improvement of body pain of the patients (10). The post-operative complications, such as wound infection and wound bleeding, were collected and analyzed. The baseline characteristics of the patients in 2 groups including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), OSA severity, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) classification and pre-operative complications were also collected. The venous blood was collected at 12 h and 1 week after operation to detect the levels of hs-CRP, hemoglobin, neutrophil% and white blood cell count (WBC). Statistical analysis The data in this study were analyzed by the SPSS software (version 22.0). Normal distribution quantitative data were described as mean ± SD. The difference between groups were compared by the Student's t test. Non-normal distribution quantitative data were described as median with range and compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical data were described as numbers and percentages and compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. P < 0.05 was considered as statistical significance.
The rapid development of safe and effective COVID-19 treatment is a global health priority. Numerous studies evaluating therapies for this disease are currently underway, but the majority of these are in hospitalized patients with severe illness. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify therapies that prevent mild COVID-19 cases in the community from becoming more severe. "Proning" or lying face down in bed has been shown to improve breathing and oxygen levels in COVID-19 patients, reducing the need for breathing tubes and ventilators and increasing survival. The current study will investigate whether proning and repositioning (lying on one's side or sitting up) can prevent mild cases of COVID-19 from becoming more severe resulting in fewer hospitalizations and death. A randomized controlled trial will be used to reduce the risk of bias when testing this intervention. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated adult patients with a positive COVID-19 test willing to participate and well enough to be treated outside the hospital will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a home-proning intervention group with instructions and daily reminders to prone and reposition during the day and at night, and a standard care group. Our goal is to assess whether home-proning/repositioning leads to fewer hospitalizations and death when compared with standard care. We'll also compare recovery time, use of antibiotics and follow up emergency department visits between these two groups. The current pilot study will assess the feasibility of a larger investigation or "main trial", meaning it will be small scale test of methods and procedures to be used on a larger scale.
Introduction: One of the alternative ways, as a result of the increasing demand for health services and the inadequacy of meeting the increasing needs, is mobile health applications. According to TUIK 2019 data, the rate of having mobile phones in households is 98.7%. With the development of technology, all information can be integrated into the mobile phone, and mobile applications allow the patient to give data from the environment in which he lives and to evaluate himself. Self-assessment and monitoring of the patient enable the patient to participate in his/her self-care, supports self-management behaviors, and improves their quality of life. Objective: It was aimed to develop a mobile support application for patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to evaluate the effect of application use on patients' self-management, quality of life, and clinical outcomes. Method: In the first stage; - Preparing the information to be included in the mobile health application that is planned to be developed and evaluating the quality of the content, - Parallel to this, the adaptation of the "Bariatric Surgery Self-Management Behaviors Scale" into Turkish and the evaluation of its validity and reliability. - Design of the mobile application, transferring the educational content to the mobile application, - It is aimed to evaluate the technical suitability and usability of the mobile application. In the second stage, it was aimed to conduct a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of the developed mobile application on the self-management, quality of life and clinical outcomes of the patients. The developed mobile application will be introduced to patients at discharge after bariatric surgery. Rating scales will be administered to patients at the end of one, three, and six months after surgery. These scales are the Bariatric Surgery Self-Management Behaviors Scale and the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Scale-II. Conclusion: It is expected that the mobile application-based education to be developed for bariatric surgery will improve the patients' post-surgical self-management, increase their quality of life and decrease the early complication rates.
The PROFUGO study (PRedictive Model for the early diagnosis of anastomotic leak after esophagectomy and gastrectomy) is proposed as a prospective and multicenter study at spanish national level that aims to develop, with the help of artificial intelligence methods, a tool and predictive model that allows identifying cases with a high risk of anastomotic leak (AF) and/or major complications through the analysis of different clinical and analytical variables collected during the perioperative period of patients undergoing esophagectomy or gastrectomy. 2.-HYPOTHESIS Early identification of patients at high risk of developing AF and/or major complications after esophagogastric surgery can be carried out through the perioperative study of objective clinical variables and analytical markers. 3.-OBJECTIVE The main objective of the study is to design a predictive model based on clinical and analytical variables that allow the identification of patients with a high risk of anastomotic leak (main variable) and/or major complication during the postoperative period of esophagogastric surgery. 4.-MATERIAL AND METHODS - DESIGN: Prospective and multicenter study of 1 year duration. - STUDY POPULATION: Patients diagnosed with neoplasia of the esophagus or stomach with an indication for oncological surgery with curative intent. - INCLUSION CRITERIA: patients with surgical indication and curative intention due to esophagogastric neoplasm who do not meet exclusion criteria and recruited by hospitals nationwide that decide to participate in the study. - EXCLUSION CRITERIA - Patients under 18 or over 85 years - Patients with chronic infections - Patients with synchronous tumors in other locations - Patients with autoimmune disease - Patients who die in the operating room - Patients who do not sign the informed consent to participate in the study - Patients in clinical stage IVB - Surgical resection R2 (there are macroscopic remains of the tumor in the surgical field after performing the resection of the surgical piece) - Combined intraoperative resection of other organs - Surgeries without anastomosis - MONITORING: The patient will be monitored during the first 90 postoperative days. 5.-DURATION OF THE STUDY The time for the inclusion of patients in the study will be 1 year in each center from the incorporation of the first of their patients.
Previous studies had found that the microbe in intestinal after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation(allo-HSCT) were closely associated with overall survival and post-transplantation complications, especially graft versus host disease (GVHD).Due to the limited data on the association of microbiota composition with chronic GVHD(cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the relationship between microbiota composition and post-transplantation complications, especially cGVHD, needs to be further evaluated.Detailed studies of the microbiome and host immune system will lead to the discovery of microbiome markers for early identification of patients at high risk for cGVHD. This may regulate patients' gut microbiota in an individualized manner to achieve optimal treatment outcomes while avoiding severe post-transplant cGVHD. We will operate a prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized, observational study. Patients will be asked to provide blood and stool samples during allo-HSCT.
