There are about 6562 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Background: Standard practice of flushing saline over the patient's secretions following suctioning is similar to pouring water over grease, leading to motivating bacterial colonization and proliferation inside the suctioning circuit (i.e., catheter, tube, and collecting jar), which can then migrate to patient's lung during suctioning procedure causing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Therefore, flushing this circuit using an appropriate disinfectant to prevent bacterial colonization inside it and thus decreasing pneumonia occurrence has been our crucial investigation idea. Aim: To investigate the effect of suction system flushing with chlorhexidine (CHX) on the occurrence of VAP among mechanically ventilated patients (MVPs). Design: This study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, and a convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 136 patients to conduct this study. Setting: This study was conducted at surgical intensive care units of Mansoura University Emergency Hospital, Egypt. Results: The intervention group patients had a lower incidence of VAP (by 48.12%) compared with the control group. Moreover, the proposed technique was more effective in decreasing the incidence of late-VAP more than early-VAP. Furthermore, CHX reduced the cost of suction system flushing by 75%. Conclusion: Suction system flushing with CHX can significantly reduce the occurrence of VAP among MVPs and reduce the flushing cost. Therefore, this study recommends incorporating CHX into the daily care of MVPs.
In the past years, numerous studies have been published on the use of ultrasound during labor, showing this is an effective, accurate and objective tool for the assessment of the fetal head position and station. Literature affirmed that traditional transvaginal digital examination is highly subjective and dependent on the operator's experience. On the contrary, the use of intrapartum suprapubic transabdominal ultrasound can improve accuracy in determination of fetal head position and the precise knowledge of the location of specific fetal head landmarks in relationship to maternal pelvis. Intrapartum ultrasound will assist obstetricians in the diagnosis of normal labor progression, suggesting when medical and or operative intervention should be taken in case of complications.
60 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome will undergo ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the median nerve with follow up using Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) at 3, 6 and 12 months
Insertion failures of intrauterine devices and cervical problems seem to occur more often among women who have never delivered vaginally. This trial will compare the effect of vaginal versus sublingual misoprostol prior to insertion of an intrauterine device in multiparous women delivered by CS.
Background: Various treatment modalities are available to improve esthetics of fluorosed teeth based on its severity. Aim: evaluate the clinical performance of different minimal invasive treatment protocols on mild to moderate fluorosed teeth. Materials and Methods: Participants were randomly allocated in eight treatment protocols with twenty teeth (n=20) included in each protocol. (P1) Opalescence boost PF 40%. (P2) Opalustre. (P3) MI-Paste Plus. In (P4) teeth were treated with Opalustre + Opalescence boost PF 40%. In (P5) Opalescence boost PF 40% + MI-Paste Plus, while in (P6) Opalustre +MI-Paste Plus. Whereas (P7) Opalustre + Opalescence boost PF 40% + MI-Paste Plus. (P8) control. All teeth were evaluated for color change (∆E) immediately after treatment (T1), after 14 days (T2), after 3 months (T3) and after 6 months (T4). Statistical analysis: Two-way ANOVA was applied to test the interaction between different variables. ANOVA repeated measures were followed by Duncan multiple range tests (DMRTs) to compare between groups.

Studying the effects of Narrowband Ultraviolet B versus acitretin on psoriatic patients
In-Vivo randomized clinical trial to compare between the clinical performance of fluoride varnish versus MI paste (CPP_ACP) and the PRG- Barrier coat material concerning enamel remineralization, arrest of active early lesions, resolution of inactive incipient lesions and patient satisfaction and motivation with a 9-months follow up using a high resolution Nikon camera with Canon 700D body. Canon EF 100mm f2.8 USM Macro Lens and Nissin MF18 ring flash Canon fit for better illumination. Also, A set of retractors and A set child occlusal mirrors with A contraster for assessment of the remineralization progress of the white spot lesion.
Comparing dexamethasone and ondanestrone injection in ncidence of postdural puncture headache and post-partum nausea and vomiting
Piezo-surgery was first used in oral and maxillofacial surgery in 2001 by Vercellotti and colleagues to simplify maxillary sinus surgery by avoiding perforation of the schneiderian membrane. Later on ultrasonic bone cutting has been used in orthognathic procedures, extraction of impacted third molars , cyst enucleation, implant site preparation, temporomandibular join surgery , corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics, and head and neck oncological and reconstructive surgeries.
