Filter by:Maxillary expansion is associated with varying degrees of pain and functional impairments. The current study aims to compare rapid maxillary expansion using a McNamara-type (bonded) appliance and slow maxillary expansion using a removable palatal expansion appliance concerning patient-centered outcomes. Those outcomes will include pain and discomfort, mastication difficulties, swallowing difficulties, and pressure on the soft tissues.
Gastric conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown after esophagectomy with cervical esophagogastrostomy often cause severe complications, such as leakage, necrotic organs, and strictures. Thus, the purpose of this study is the safety and efficacy of endoscopic evaluation about reconstructive organs after esophagectomy. The investigators evaluate endoscopic predictions using classifications in acute phase after esophagogastrostomy.

The study will determine the benefit of Colchicine versus placebo for cardiac surgery patients on the post-operative development of atrial fibrillation and post-pericardiotomy syndrome. Primary Objective. Colchicine will reduce the composite endpoint of incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation and post-pericardiotomy syndrome at 3 months following cardiac surgery. Secondary Objectives. 1. Colchicine will reduce the incidence of constrictive physiology on echocardiography at 3 months following cardiac surgery. 2. Reduction in the burden of symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in the 3 months following cardiac surgery with the use of colchicine.
