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.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronarvirus type 2 was highlighted in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan in China, responsible for an pandemic evolution since March 11, 2020. The infection affects all ages of life, although affecting children in a very small proportion of cases. The typical presentation of the disease combines fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia and asthenia (18%) as well as leukopenia (25%) and lymphopenia (63%). Upper airway involvement rare. The main clinical presentation requiring hospitalization of infected patients is that of atypical pneumonia which may require critical care management (27%), and progress to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (67%) involving life-threatening conditions in almost 25% of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other organ damage have been reported, mainly concerning kidney damage (29%) which may require renal replacement therapy in approximately 17% of patients. Neurological damage has been very rarely studied, yet reported in 36% of cases in a study including patients of varying severity. Finally, the mortality associated with this emerging virus is high in patients for whom critical care management is necessary, reported in 62% of patients. We therefore propose a prospective observational study which aim at reporting the prevalence of acute encephalopathy at initial management in Critical/Intensive care or Neurocritical care , to report its morbidity and mortality and to identify prognostic factors.
Therapeutic catheterizations substituted many traditional surgical procedures with the advance of transcatheter techniques. Pediatric patients are more liable to fluid overload due to their smaller weights compared to adults and the risk increases in pediatrics with congenital heart diseases due to lower tolerability and reserve capacity and some of them may already have a degree of heart failure. Fluid overload increases the incidence of morbidity and mortality in such patients. The aim of our study is to observe the amount of fluids needed for flushing during pediatric cardiac catheterization (in ml/kg) and asses its effect on total lung water and PaO2/FiO2, aiming to develop a useful protocol for the amount of fluids used.
Ultrasound guided erector spinae plain block combined with general anaesthesia versus conventional general anaesthesia in lumbar spine surgery, it's hypothesized that combined regional anaesthesia with general anaesthesia in lumbar spine surgery may reduce the anaesthetic requirements, aid in controlled hypotension and improve the perioperative pain management.
Our aim will be to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of ketamine and magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to levobupivacaine in erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy.
for the last 20 years, the increasing reports from non-human studies have raised suspicion that general anesthetics may cause neurotoxic changes in the developing brain that lead to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes later in life.there are several case reports of reversible smell and taste dysfunction following exposure to general anesthesia suggesting a possible relationship between anesthetic agents and olfactory dysfunction. this study is to assess the possible neurotoxicity of sevoflurane,isoflurane,and propofol based anesthesia guided by olfactory changes
The aim of the study is :- 1. To evaluate and compare the microleakage of three different fissure sealants(resin-based Clinpro sealant, Moisture tolerant resin-based Embrace WetBond sealant and glass ionomer Fuji Triage sealant) in vitro. 2. To evaluate and compare the bond strength of three different fissure sealants(resin-based Clinpro sealant, Moisture tolerant resin-based Embrace WetBond sealant and glass ionomer Fuji Triage sealant) in vitro. 3. To clinically evaluate and compare the retention of three different fissure sealants(resin-based Clinpro sealant, Moisture tolerant resin-based Embrace WetBond sealant and glass ionomer-based Fuji Triage sealant). 4. To clinically evaluate and compare the caries prevention effect of three different fissure sealants(resin-based Clinpro sealant, Moisture tolerant resin-based Embrace WetBond sealant and glass ionomer-based Fuji Triage sealant).
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of 3 local doses of PRP intra-articular injection in patients with RA regarding the improvement of disease activity and quality of life versus placebo.
Midline laparotomies are accompanied by severe postoperative pain. Adequate post-operative pain relief after major abdominal surgery reduces complications (e.g. chest infection or deep venous thrombosis) and enhances recovery and early mobilization, with better patients' satisfaction, and less hospital stay. The standard technique for post-operative analgesia after major abdominal surgery is thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA). On the other hand, the complications encountered with TEA motivates the search for another technique, besides that in some situations, midline incision is needed while TEA is contraindicated e.g. emergency laparotomy. Rectus sheath nerve block (RSB) is a regional anesthetic technique that provides midline somatic analgesia and might be an alternative to TEA. It is an old technique that has been revisited because of the availability of new local anesthetic agents, and the availability of small-caliber catheters. It was hypothesized that rectus sheath analgesia (RSA) might be an alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia. Thereby, the aim of the current study is to find whether analgesia provided through surgically placed rectus sheath catheters can be a safe and effective alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing elective midline laparotomies.
In Egypt, according to UNICEF 2018, Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARTIs)was estimated to account for 11% and 19% of the under-five and post-neonatal mortalities respectively. Despite the well-recognized role of vitamin D in metabolism and homeostasis in the general population, there is now growing interest in its probable association with pneumonia. Globally, about 30% to 90% of Under-5 children experience vitamin D deficiency. This could vary among children, according to the socioeconomic, environmental and behavioral circumstances. Studies evaluating the association of 1,25 (OH)2D deficiency and the severity of respiratory tract infection, are rare and showed controversial findings. However, an Indian systematic review polled the results of 12 studies, with 2279 participants, highlighted the significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and incidence and severity of ALRIs. A prospective cohort study conducted in Yemen examined the ability of deficient levels of vit.D to predict the outcomes of severe pneumonia. The study documented the significant association between vitamin D deficiency with neutropenia and hypoxia in patients with severe pneumonia, thus predicting the poor prognosis. In Egypt 2010, a case-control study conducted on children aged 2 to 5 years to examine the impact of vitamin D deficiency on the susceptibility of pneumonia. The study illustrated that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher incidence and more severe pneumonia. Recent studies advocated providing children(particularly suffering from pneumonia) with adequate amounts of vitamin D supplements. Nevertheless, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on the outcome of pneumonic infants. Thus, we urge to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Abou ElReesh tertiary Pediatric hospital, to evaluate the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation to children with pneumonia. We postulated that supplementation of 100 000 IU of vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) will reduce the duration of illness in those children and improve their outcome.
