There are about 10986 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.
Postoperative pain is a common complication after lumbar spine surgery due to inherent tissue damage during surgical procedures. Many analgesic options have been explored. Opioid analgesics carry the risk of respiratory depression. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are popular and widely used as first-line treatment for acute pain following spinal surgery, but can provide inadequate analgesia. High doses of NSAIDs have also been linked to non-unions in spinal fusion surgery. Patient-controlled analgesia or epidural injection analgesia are usually used. One of US guided regional anesthesia methods is the ultrasound-guided caudal block that was first described by Klocke and colleagues in 2003. One of the more recent techniques that has been described recently is quadratus lumborum plane block(QLB),that is posterior abdominal wall fascial plane block first described by Blanco in 2007.In this study we will compare between analgesic effect of ultrasound guided caudal block to that of ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum plane block as well as safety of both modalities in adult patients undergoing lumbar spine fixation surgeries.
Anterior knee pain , often known as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), is a prevalent orthopedic ailment. It usually happens while you're bending your knees. It can affect people of all ages, although it is most common among teenagers, young adults, and athletes . The actual etiology of anterior knee pain might be complicated, encompassing a variety of conditions; it causes disability, discomfort and a negative impact on the quality of life . A number of diagnostic techniques, including plain radiography, computed tomography, MRI, arthroscopy and ultrasound are used to identify the pathologies causing anterior knee pain. Arthroscopy, though accurate, is invasive and can cause complications. Palin radiographs and computed tomography expose patients to radiations
Mallet finger is an avulsion fracture of the distal phalanx or rupture of the extensor terminal band caused by distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint hyperflexion or axial loading. In the treatment of mallet finger fractures, surgical repair is recommended in cases where the fracture involves more than one-third of the distal phalanx joint surface or the distal phalanx becomes volar subluxated The blocking k.wire and micro plate technique are some of the methods used in the treatment of mallet finger fractures In recent years, the blocking k.wire technique has gained popularity owing to its minimally invasive nature and its ability to achieve satisfactory postoperative results The main advantages of Micro Plate technique include provision of anatomical reduction and stable fixation, avoiding the risk of fragmentation of the small dorsal fragment, allowing early movement and increasing patient comfort and compliance
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of deep breathing pattern on dynamic balance in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain versus healthy controls. Secondary to compare between dynamic balance control during deep versus regular breathing patterns in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain and healthy controls. Further, to detect whether pain intensity differs during balance testing applying either deep or regular breathing in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.
Introduction: the complete denture wearers mainly complain of decrease of denture retention which affects on patient's quality of life Objective: to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of denture adhesive for completely edentulous denture wearers. Material and methods : 32 patients(new denture wearers) were selected form prosthdontic clinic in three dental faculties in various region in Egypt, there were 22 females (68%) and 10 males (46%) were distributed in two groups: conventional group without adhesive and adhesive group with adhesive application n = 16;, in a cross over study. evaluation by Oral Health Impact Profile in Edentulous Adults (OHIP-EDENT) inventory at 1, 2 and 3 months after the insertion of new complete dentures. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA test and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEEs), α = 0.05.
In patients with excessive gingival display, esthetic crown lengthening procedure by means of scalpel, diode laser or electro-surgery could result in the same gingival marginal stability at 3 and 6 months follow up.
The investigators hypothesize that US Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block, US Bilateral Quadratus Lumborum Block and Lumbar Epidural for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy resulting in reducing myofascial pain and opioid consumption.
Emergence agitation (EA), a phenomenon observed at the time of recovery from general anesthesia (GA).The cause of ED appears to be multifactorial in origin. Use of volatile anesthetics, prolonged duration and type of surgery, pain, and rapid emergence are some factors known to increase its incidence
Diaphragmatic dysfunction can be detected as a decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) on spirometry or as lower diaphragmatic excursion (DE) on US, the latter having become the gold standard in thoracic assessment.
Low levels of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle have become a major public health problem contributing to the prevalence of many chronic diseases and reduced life expectancy worldwide, and also increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression, excessive weight gain, and breast and colon cancer. Physical activity improves functional health and quality of life. (Iva Sklempe Kokic et al., 2019). In Middle East, Insufficient physical activity and sedentary behavior are key risk factors for obesity and other diseases leading to premature mortality. Regular physical activity can improve self-esteem, cognitive performance, and academic achievement in young people. (Sonia Chaabane et al., 2020). University students, due to the time spent in classes, studying or in front of computers, form part of the population most at risk of adopting sedentary behavior. Different studies have shown that the transition to university studies is usually associated to a decrease in physical activity and an increase in sedentary behavior as a result of lifestyle changes, as well as psychosocial factors. (Cotton et al., 2016). Exercise is often perceived as boring and hard, thereby causing adults and students shy away from physical activity -related behaviors after long days of work and/or school. Instead, individuals are more interested in leisure activities, such as video games, Thus, the combination of video games and engaging in physical activity (e.g., virtual reality -integrated exercise) may trigger their interest and improve their physical activity behavior. (Jiali Qian et al., 2020). So, this trial aim to find if the virtual reality exercise as a new modality will make sedentary physical student more interest to adherent to exercise than conventional aerobic training so makes them more physically active which will enhance their academic performance and endurance.
