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.
This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between spinopelvic alignment and uterine dimensions in primary dysmenorrhea.
Objectives: To present the outcomes of retrograde and antegrade ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy in the treatment of proximal ureteral stones ranging in size from 10 to 20 millimeters in diameter. Patients and methods: From March 2023 to December 2023, 70 patients were included in this prospective randomized double-arm interventional study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1: (35 patients) had semi-rigid retrograde ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy and group 2: (35 patients) had semi-rigid antegrade ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy.
Patient grouping - Group 1 (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with CPD + SRP and Omega-3) - Group 2 (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with CPD + SRP) different clinical parameters were recorded ; plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL). 6.Omega-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (1000mg) was given as an adjunctive treatment daily for 6 months to group 2, starting 2 weeks after phase 1 therapy.
Aims: To evaluate the effects of topical Benoxinate HCL eye drops on the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) scores in infants undergoing Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) screening. Methods: A randomized prospective double-masked cross-over trial was conducted on preterm infants screened for ROP at least twice. Dilated fundus examination was done in Group A infants using the tear substitute eye drops and the second using the Benoxinate HCL drops and the reversed order of drops for Group B. Video recording of the pulse oximeter monitor, the face and the body of the infant were analyzed by a single neonatology consultant for Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) scoring 1 minute before, during the examination of the first eye, 1 minute and 5 minutes after the conclusion of the examination of the second eye. The sound of the ophthalmologist on the video recordings indicating the time of the lid speculum insertion, the shining of the indirect ophthalmoscope light without indentation and the scleral indentation would aid in assessing the differences of the PIPP indicators during each step of the examination.
Liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) remains a challenge for intensive care physicians. Although standard indices such as blood gases and respiratory clinical data are used routinely but they still have some limitations. Diaphragmatic and lung sonographic parameters (pulmonary scores) recently became the hot spot to help in anticipation of liberation from IMV.The aim of this study was to ensure that, sonographic diaphragmatic thickening indices and lung scores are reliable and accurate additional tools to anticipate successful liberation from IMV in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods: This study was a prospective, observational study conducted at Sohag university hospital on 80 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and mechanically ventilated invasively for more than 24 hours and they were ready for weaning by standard methods. At the time of spontaneous breathing trials (SBT), we did diaphragm and lung ultrasound, where we applied diaphragmatic thickening indices (DTI) and a modified lung ultrasound scores (LUSm). Patients classified into two groups; failed group (FG) and (SG) of liberation from IMV. Comparison between (FG) and (SG) in relation to pulmonary scores (DTI and LUSm) were recorded. Cut-off values, sensitivity and specificity for DTI and LUSm were obtained. Also, comparison between (FG) and (SG) in relation to demographic, clinical and respiratory data were assessed and all data were statistically analysed.
Direct composite resin restorations are considered an essential treatment option in the dental clinic because of increasing the demands for esthetics. These materials are primarily used as anterior and posterior filling materials for the restoration of dental caries, crown fractures, tooth wear, and congenital defects.
Bronchial asthma affects more than a quarter of a billion people worldwide. It is responsible for over 1000 deaths a day, of which the majority are preventable (Levy, 2015). Asthma is a common heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It is defined by the history of variable respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezes, and cough, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation. Airflow limitation may later become persistent (GINA, 2023). The diagnosis of asthma is based on the history of these characteristic symptoms and evidence of variable expiratory airflow limitation from bronchodilator reversibility testing or other tests (GINA, 2023).
One innovative approach uses puzzle game strategies, including crosswords, Sudoku, and other brain-teasing activities. These strategies have been shown to help maintain attention, improve memory, and keep older adults' thoughts clear and sharp. Additionally, engaging in these activities can provide psychological benefits by offering a sense of achievement, reducing stress, and fostering social interactions.
