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 study aimed at detection of autonomic dysfunction among cases with temporal lobe epilepsy; using different electrophysiological techniques. Moreover, it aimed at finding any correlation between electrophysiological tests and SUDEP risk.
Control of of pain in children is fundamental. TAP block is associated with less side effects compared with other neuraxial techniques especially when done under ultrasound guidance. Ketorolac has analgesic effect comparable to morphine. Children were arranged randomly into two equal groups, forty-five children in each. Group (K) (n= 45): received ultrasound guided TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% (0.5 ml/kg) and ketorolac (0.5 mg/kg). Group (T) (n =45): received ultrasound guided TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% (0.5 ml/kg)
Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral asymmetric progressive corneal degenerative disease. The management of young patients, diagnosed with clinically evident KC in one eye and with no clinical signs of KC in the other eye, represents a real challenge for many ophthalmologists. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of epithelium-on accelerated CXL to stabilize the eye with no clinical signs of KC, in young patients with unilateral clinically evident KC, compared with standard care and follow-up only.
Objectives: identify and recognize clinical Characteristics, Pathophysiology, and management of a group of patients with rhino Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis infection associated with Covid 19 viral infection
To evaluate the effect of core stability exercise on symmetrical weight bearing in chronic stroke patients?
A clinical Trial, comparing two different techniques to elevate the maxillary sinus floor membrane to allow for simultaneous dental implant placement in the severely atrophied maxillary ridges.Both using allogenic bone substitute as the bone graft material. One technique is the open lateral window technique and the second is the closed crestal technique.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of obstructive events (apnea and hypopnea) and intermittent hypoxia, which in turn contributes to the systemic inflammation that underlies this disease and its consequences (Ryan et al 2009, Gileles-Hillel et al 2014). This systemic inflammation leads to endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications in OSAS, in addition to the exposure to risk factors, such as male gender, older age, obesity, and lack of exercise (Lorenzi Filho et al 2010). Some red blood cells (RBC) and platelets indices have emerged as inflammatory biomarkers in various diseases (Tertemiz et al 2016) The severity of OSA is significantly associated with increase hematocrit, even after controlling for possible confounding variables. However, nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA does not usually lead to clinical polycythemia (Choi et al 2006). In patients referred with a clinical diagnosis of OSAS, RDW may be a marker for the severity of the condition. As RDW is usually included in a complete blood count, it could provide an inexpensive tool for triaging OSAS patients for polysomnography evaluation (Sökücü et al 2012). The hematological indices white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) have been proposed as alternative markers to those normally used clinically, e.g., interleukin-6 (IL6) and C-reactive protein, to evaluate the burden of inflammation in OSAS (Wu et al 2018)
[Background] Low back pain occurs when a poor lifestyle weakens the muscular strength of the waist and excessive loads on and tensions of the muscles create pain. Mediating muscle weakening to stabilize the trunk is an important aspect in the recovery of body function in patients with LBP [Purpose], this study was conducted to investigate the effect of core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises on chronic non-specific low back pain. [Subjects and Methods] a sixty patient of chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned into two groups, group (A) received core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises and group (B) received core stability exercises, these exercises were performed for three times a week for four weeks. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Spinal function was measured by Arabic Oswestery Disability Index (AODI) and pulmonary function was assessed by pulmonary function test including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) before and after the study. Keywords: core stability exercises, ball and balloon exercises, chronic non-specific low back pain
The current trial aim was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the changes around dental implants inserted immediately in maxillary anterior esthetic zone using a novel combination of autogenous whole tooth graft (AWTG) with socket shield approach (SSA) and compared this approach to socket shield technique with xenograft. The present study included 63 patients, aged 20 to 45, with teeth that needed to be extracted. After Kafrelsheikh University research ethics committee approval, patients were randomized into 3 groups: group I patients underwent immediate implantation using socket shield protocol, while group II patients underwent the same procedure, but the shield/fixture jumping gap was grafted by xenograft. finally group III was grafted by AWTG that was created using the decoronated crown and the extracted palatal portion of the tooth; and then placed in the peri-implant gap defect.
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a designed training program for nurses toward early detection of developmental disabilities among children (0-3 years).
