There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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.
Aging and frailty make the elderly patients susceptible to hypotension following spinal anaesthesia. The systemic haemodynamic effects of spinal anaesthesia are not well known. In this study, we examine the systemic haemodynamic effects of fractional spinal anaesthesia following intermittent microdosing of a local anesthetic and an opioid. We included 15 patients aged over 65 with considerable comorbidities, planned for emergency hip fracture repair. Patients received a spinal catheter and cardiac output monitoring using the LiDCOplus system. Invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance index, heart rate and stroke volume index were registered. Two doses of bupivacaine 2,25 mg and fentanyl 15µg were administered with 25 minutes in between. Hypotension was defined as a fall in MAP by >30% or a MAP <65 mmHg
Establishment of a sufficiently wide and thick keratinized gingival/mucosal tissue cuff around teeth/implants is considered of importance for long-term stability. This can more readily be achieved by means of autogenous soft tissue grafts harvested from the palate than with soft tissue substitutes. However, this often implies the creation of an open palatal wound involving secondary intention healing. The aim of this randomized controlled, split-mouth, clinical trial is to assess the effect of a hyaluronic acid containing commercial product on wound healing and patient morbidity after palatal soft tissue harvesting. Altogether, 20 volunteers will be recruited. An individualized splint containing 2 symmetrically located contralateral cylindrical openings will be used for standardized soft tissue harvesting (6 mm in Ø, 2 mm in depth). Soft tissue grafts will be harvested randomly from the right or left side and patients will be monitored for 3 weeks followed by a 1-month wash-out period prior to harvesting the second soft tissue graft from the other side. Participants will randomly start treating the palatal wound either with the test product (GUM Aftaclear Gel, Sunstar Suisse SA, Etoy, Switzerland; 0.3%) or saline solution for 7 days to promote the healing process, which will be reversed for the second round. Patient-related outcomes (morbidity, discomfort, taste alteration, pain killer consumption), frequency of bleeding events, defect closure (area, volume), and microbial colonisation will be recorded and analysed for any differences between the control and test product. Further, in 6 additional volunteers, biopsies of the healing wound are collected in a similar fashion as described above, but with the use of a larger stent in order to harvest also pristine surrounding tissues for histological analysis; biopsies are collected up to 14 days of healing.
The study aims to evaluate the performance of NAVOY® Sepsis in predicting the sepsis risk in adult ICU patients. Data collection is performed via automatic retrieval from the electronic health record system to AlgoDx proprietary cloud service where it is analysed in a simulated environment.
The purpose of the present interdisciplinary research program is to develop and evaluate a disease-specific cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) protocol to increase quality of life (QoL) and reduce symptom burden in patients with Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous transplantation (using the patient's own stem cells from the blood), followed by non-myeloablative (i.e. less intense) allogeneic transplantation (where the blood stem cells from a sibling donor are used for the transplantation) improves the outcome in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
The study investigates effects related to muscle protein metabolism at provision of Parenteral or enteral nutrition
The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a therapist-guided Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) programme is feasible for adolescents with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The aim is to evaluate feasibility and provide preliminary efficacy data.
The SAD design of the study is based on the aim to study safety, tolerability and PK of selected doses of ACD856 in a limited number of healthy volunteers. ACD856 will be administered orally.
The multiple ascending dose (MAD) design of the study is based on the aim to study safety, tolerability, PK and pharmacodynamics of selected doses of ACD856 in a limited number of healthy volunteers. ACD856 will be administered orally.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VX-121/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor (VX-121/TEZ/D-IVA) in CF participants who are homozygous for F508del, heterozygous for F508del and a gating (F/G) or residual function (F/RF) mutation, or have at least 1 other TCR CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation and no F508del mutation.
