Filter by:This study was conducted to investigate the use of Veinlite LED+ (TransLite, Sugar Land, Tex) to assist with PIC placement. The Veinlite uses LED (light-emitting diode) lights to enhance the visualization of veins by using orange and red color that are absorbed in venous blood. The investigators' hypothesis for this study was that the vein imaging would reduce the complications related to catheter and the pain that the participants would feel.
Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract using fiberoptic endoscopes was introduced in the late 1950s and provided the first opportunity for direct visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum and colon in vivo. GI Endoscopy is usually considered a safe and effective procedure. However complications do exist and procedure related costs are significant. There is a lack of prospective studies on complications of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures.There is a lack of prospective studies on complications of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. Knowledge of potential endoscopic adverse events, their expected frequency, and the risk factors for their occurrence may help to minimize the incidence of adverse events. Review of adverse events as part of a continuing quality improvement process may serve to educate endoscopists, help to reduce the risk of future adverse events, and improve the overall quality of endoscopy.
After obtaining an institutional ethics approval (#2019186), we retrospectively reviewed patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) who underwent hydrodistension in our hospital during January 2010 and May 2021. The diagnosis of IC/BPS was made by the same senior urologist according to the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases guidelines. Patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered eligible for the study. Medical records were reviewed to extract baseline information, including age, body mass index (BMI), duration, antithrombotic use and classification, symptom assessment, and perioperative parameters. Patients were then contacted and volunteered to undergo a follow-up. Telemedicine-based follow-ups were performed at 3 after surgery. Complications and symptoms were recroded. Then, perioperative parameters, including operation time, hospital stays, catheterization time, and hematological results (hemoglobin, platelet count, and coagulated parameters) were recorded based on medical records. The data were analyzed to investigate if perioperative complications were more common in patients with IC/BPS on antithrombotic therapy after bladder hydrodistension.
Lumen approximating stents have been used in interventional endoscopy to treat retentions in the upper gastrointestinal tract for 10 years. In the last few years, these have also been used with great success to form new anastomoses, especially in palliative patients. In this regard, many studies have been conducted in recent years. As one of the largest centers for interventional endoscopy in Austria, we have been performing such interventions as standard since 2016. The use of LAMS has become the standard therapy in many places. Most of the literature describes the technical advantages of LAMS, while the complications are less discussed. Although complications are rare with reported rates below 10%, with the multitude of technological and clinical advances in the field, it is important to understand and manage potential complications such as bleeding, perforation and stent migration. Our goal is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcome of all EC-LAMS in a single, high-volume center. Method: Suitable patients are analyzed retrospectively from the existing database. All patients who had a lumen-proximating stent implanted are included.
This study is part of the clinical evaluation of SEBBIN silicone gel-filled gluteal implants, included in the technical file of the device. The aim of the study is to gather additional data about the safety and effectiveness of the device.
The use of bio-integrative implants in orthopedic surgery is growing exponentially. As many biomechanical and histological studies were able to sustain its structural and biological properties, few clinical studies are available to support its advantages, such as good osteosynthesis, lower rates of removal, and diminished implant-related artifact in imaging studies. This information is vital to providers when choosing the proper material and planning postoperative treatment. This trial intends to test the capacity of the bioabsorbable screws in reaching the same clinical and radiographical outcomes of the current metallic screws.

Ingrown toenail is a very common disease in the general population that touches young adults. There are lots of treatments from local care of pedicure to surgery with matricectomy. Gold standard of symptomatic and painful ingrown toenail is the simple surgery with matricectomy and with suture or directed healing pad. For many years chemical cauterisation with phenolic acid is used, a method with very few relapses and with a more simple pad. However, because of a lack of information about this phenolic acid, the pharmaceutical laboratory withdrew it from the market. The new method to replace phenolic acid is trichloroacetic acid, used mainly in cosmetics for peeling. This method was already compared to phenolic acid and showed equal results with fewer laps of application and a low cost. The comparison between acid trichloroacetic method and the gold standard surgery was never done and will be the goal of this study. It's an open, non randomised, comparative, multicentric (2 centers) study with two groups : common surgery and surgery with chemical cauterisation For this study the investigators will compare between the two groups : gain of quality of life at one month after surgery, difference of pain between before, one week and one month after surgery, the occurrence of adverse events and number of relapses at one year.
Viral diseases have always posed a threat to public health. Recently, the SARS-Cov2 virus spread in an epidemic that began in China and soon spread globally, making its study extremely relevant, in order to seek mechanisms to combat it. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the benefit of using Hydroxychloroquine with or without Apixaban in the early treatment of patients with suspected COVID-19. Prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study, performed at Hospital das Clínicas Samuel Libânio (Universidade do Vale do Sapucaí) UNIVÁS, Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Patients treated in the emergency department who are reported as suspected cases of COVID-19 patients will be included, according to current guidelines. Will be randomized into 4 groups: Hydroxychloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine + Apixabana, only Apixabana and Control group, all receiving standard treatment recommended. Included patients will be monitored during hospitalization or remotely assisted in home treatment. Clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic and image evaluation criteria will be considered to assess the evolution in 7 and 14 days after inclusion. Results will be subjected to appropriate statistical analysis, with sample calculation. An early therapeutic approach is proposed in suspected and confirmed patients with COVID-19, with the hope of reducing hospitalizations and severe forms of the disease.
Biomarkers can play a vital role in prognosing the perioperative complications in thoracic aorta surgery. The goal of a study is to determine the correlation between intraoperative level of certain biomarkers and total amount of peroperative complications.
