There are about 11256 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.
The aims of this study is to asses the predictive value of serum anti_endometrial antibodies in prediction of implantation rate in patient with endometriosis who undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are well-established procedures for renal stone fragmentation; however, the morbidity, hospitalization, and lost work hours associated with these procedures can negatively affect the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the patients [1-3]. The choice of modality is based on the European Association of Urology (EAU) and/or American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines. However, selecting a modality is challenging, considering the advantages and drawbacks of both modalities. RIRS while minimally invasive, has an inferior stone-free rate compared with PNL; however, PNL requires general anesthesia and longer hospitalization [4]. The need to select the therapeutic modality for urinary lithotripsy based not only on the stone-free rate but also on the subsequent HRQoL of the patient is increasingly recognized [5]. The concept of HRQoL is multidimensional, which includes psychosocial, physical, and emotional factors, as well as patient autonomy, and is applicable to a wide variety of medical conditions [6]. Patients with urolithiasis represent an ideal group for the investigation of HRQoL, considering the disease's high prevalence, non-life-threatening nature, severe symptoms, and high recurrence rate [3]. However, only a few longitudinal studies have investigated HRQoL in patients undergoing lithotripsy for urinary calculi [7]. Several studies have evaluated HRQoL using the Short-Form 36-item survey (SF-36) [3, 7-9]. Hence, this study aims to compare longitudinal HRQoL between PNL and RIRS at four timepoints: before surgery (Bef), on the day of discharge (0 mo), and 1 month (1 mo) and 6 months (6 mo) after surgical intervention, and to further investigate the factors that may significantly affect the HRQoL of these patients
We conducted this prospective randomized comparative study to compare between outcome of laparoscopic and open orchiopexy of high inguinal. All children presented to us with high inguinal undescended testis diagnosed by history, clinical examination and inguino-scrotal ultrasound were included in this study. We exclude children with previous history of inguinal surgery or unfit for anesthesia. 150 patients with inclusion criteria were randomized (using block randomization method by Stata, version 13.1, StataCorp, for Microsoft Windows R) into two groups: Group A: 75 cases who were operated with laparoscopic orchiopexy. Group B: 75 cases who were operated with open orchiopexy. All of the patients were subjected to the following: Complete history taking, and Clinical examination: High inguinal undescended testis, is testicle felt at upper half of inguinal canal and can't manipulated to the scrotum Pre-operative routine Laboratory investigation and Pre-operative imaging: Inguino-scrotal & colored Doppler ultrasound, were done for all patients. Patients were kept on fasting for 6 hours for solid food 2 hours for fluids before surgery. Informed written consent from all parents was obtained. All patients in our study underwent general anesthesia.
The goal of this [clinical trial] is to [ compare ] in [ diabetic male patients ]. The main question to answer is : Will be any difference between aerobic exercises and resistance exercises in improving levels of homocysteine, cholesterol and insulin in diabetic patients? Participants will take their medications and group of them do aerobic exercises and another group do resistance training
Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of death in women worldwide. About 70% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer present with advanced disease which will require a combination of cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy to give them their best chance of long term survival.The presence of macroscopic pleural disease-especially if undetected and unresected after primary debulking surgery-may alter treatment decision-making and markedly affect survival. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) allows surgeons, through a minimally invasive approach, to not only drain the pleural effusion but also evaluate macroscopic pleural disease and, when possible, resect gross tumor. Few studies reported that VATS altered the therapeutic management in ovarian cancer patients leading to an upstaging or down-staging when compared to the CT staging. Therefore, this study will prospectively assess the role of VATS in the diagnosis and management of supradiaphragmatic disease as well as evaluate the impact of VATS findings on the decision of surgical management in patients with advanced ovarian cancer FIGO (The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage III/IV.
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has serious implications on urology practice and raises particular questions for urologists about the management of different conditions. It was recommended to cancel most of the elective urological surgeries. (1) The least invasive intervention modalities that can be completed in local or regional anesthesia will serve the best interest of patients and urologists. 10 14 Endoscopic surgery is considered relatively safe.(2) After end of pandemic we facing complication of this era, one of most common complication was JJ stents complications as most of patient and doctors prefers to defer most of elective management by just JJ insertion and postpone definitive treatment. (3) In this study we discuss retrospectively the complication of JJ stenting during Covid 19 pandemic.
This prospective double blinded randomized study aims to compare the effect of inhaled versus intravenous milrinone on the pulmonary vascular resistance in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. The primary outcome is to determine change in pulmonary artery pressure. The secondary outcomes include, - Incidence of systemic hypotension. - Hemodynamic affection and need of vasopressors and inotropes. - Change in pulmonary vascular resistance versus systemic vascular resistance. - Right ventricular function. - Duration of mechanical ventilation. - Need for mechanical circulatory support devices. - Urine output - Length of intensive care (ICU) in stay. As the investigators hypothesize that inhaled milrinone has a selective pulmonary vasodilator effect devoid of the systemic hypotension with the intravenous administration.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of black seed oil on endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
The goal of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield in terms of cellular content and biochemical characteristics of pre-aspiration agitated pleural fluid versus that of conventionally aspirated fluid in pleural infection patients. The hypothesis is that the agitated fluid would be more representative and thus may aid the diagnosis of non-infected exudative pleural effusions.
The Goal of this clinical trial is to asses the function of arthroscopic repair with or without superior capsular augmentation using biceps tendon .
