There are about 212 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Qatar. 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.
Airway securing through the placement of an endotracheal tube continues to be the definitive and the global standard management. The successful first attempt is aimed to avoid the consequences of multiple intubation trials as bleeding, tissue swelling, and airway contamination from gastric content that led to considerable morbidity and mortality. Visualization of the larynx and the glottic opening is the key to first-pass success requiring long-term training and availability of specific equipment concerned to that. For confirmation of the position endotracheal tube or its displacement, various clinical and equipment aids to that which are not valid or limited in different scenarios. Video laryngoscopes (VL) have been proposed to improve laryngeal visualization, hence a higher first-pass success rate accomplished. Despite that, there are limitations of video laryngoscope use in different circumstances that requiring adding of other aids to facilitate endotracheal intubation. x
To maximise the accessibility and benefit of PARP inhibitors to eligible patients, it is essential to know the prevalence of HRD in women with advanced high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian cancer. Presently, the prevalence data for HRD are available from selected geographies only and range from 31% to 50%. Furthermore, the risk factors associated with HRD and clinical characteristics of patients with HRD need exploration for region-specific differences. In the present study, we will estimate the region- and country-specific prevalence of HRD in women with stage III or IV high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer and associated risk factors with clinical characteristics in Asia-Pacific countries, Latin America, Africa, Russia, Australia, and Middle East countries. The findings of the study will help the oncologists in optimal patient selection and clinical decision-making for the first-line maintenance of patients with HGSOC
The study aims to evaluate the effect of low load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction in patients with anterior knee pain and rotator cuff related shoulder pain in a cross-over two-arm randomized, participant and assessor blinded design. More specifically, we aim to investigate the acute and short-term hypoalgesic response (by evaluating pressure pain detection thresholds) of low load exercise with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction, the effect of these interventions in pain during clinical testing, and the possibility of a placebo effect.
The objective of this non-interventional multicenter study is to provide prospective, observational data on patients initiating treatment with palbociclib combination to contribute to the knowledge of HR+ HER2-metastatic/locally advanced Breast Cancer (BC) disease management, its treatment pattern, clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in the routine clinical practice in Africa and Middle East countries .
Surgical site infection (SSI) after craniotomy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality besides its major health care cost. In each hospital, all measures are taken to decrease SSI. Despite current prophylactic measures, rates of SSIs have been reported in up to 5% of patients post craniotomy. Intrawound vancomycin powder has been studied extensively in spinal fusion surgeries and been found to reduce rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) significantly. Despite its success in spinal surgeries, topical vancomycin has not been extensively studied with respect to cranial neurosurgery. The use of adjuvant vancomycin powder was associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative infection as well as infection-related medical costs. These findings suggest that the use of adjuvant vancomycin powder in high-risk patients undergoing spinal fusion is a cost-saving option for preventing postoperative infections, as it can lead to cost-savings of $438,165 per 100 spinal fusions performed. The investigators believe that Topical vancomycin is a safe, effective, and cost-saving measure to prevent SSIs following craniotomy.
retrospective non-interventional study (NIS) that aims to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes, and treatment patterns, among patients receiving palbociclib for the treatment of HR+/HER2- metastatic/locally advanced breast cancer (BC)
This is an open label, randomized control trial (RCT) in which high risk for pre-eclampsia pregnant subjects will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group (metformin 1 gm twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg per day and standard of care) versus control group (aspirin 100 mg per day and standard of care) that will be administered between 11 to 13 weeks of gestation until delivery . Only women at high risk of pre-eclampsia as defined by the ACOG practice bulletin will be included (see inclusion criteria). Patient assignment will not be blinded as control group will not be given a placebo; the data will be analyzed on an intention to treat basis. Enrolled subjects will be followed throughout pregnancy and up to 30 days post-delivery (as per hospital practice).
The investigator hypothesis is that early implementation of early, awake prone position for patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen therapy will reduce the need for escalation of respiratory support. Escalation of respiratory support is defined as the need for respiratory support with HFNO, NIV or IV.
The aim of this trial is to determine whether oestrogen treatment mitigates disease progression and severity in confirmed COVID19.
The present study is randomized in nature, comparing the stone free rate and complications rate between semi-rigid ureteroscopy (SR-URS) and Flexible Ureteroscopy (F-URS) for the treatment of Proximal Ureteric stone (PUS), whereby the preoperative assessments, procedure and reporting of outcomes will all be standardized.
