There are about 511 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Tunisia. 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.
Investigate the epidemiology, risk factors and impact on clinical practice of healthcare-associated infections with emergent highly drug-resistant (eHDR) pathogens, particularly carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae and glycopeptides-resistant enterococcus.
A prospective randomized triple blinded study conducted in the obstetrics gynecology department of Ben Arous hospital over a period of four months and 10 days between April 2023 and August 2023. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy on postoperative pain and anxiety after cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in Tunisian women.
Patients undergoing breast surgery were divided into two groups: Intravenous Lidocaine (Lido-IV) vs Erector Spinae Block (ESP). For Lido-IV group, patients received a loading dose of Lidocaine than a continuous infusion till the end of surgery. For ESP group, an ultrasound guided ESP Block was perormed before anesthetic induction. Persistant pain post mastectomy was assessed by SFM-PQ score at 1, 3 and 6 months post surgery.
Trauma to the thoracolumbar spine is responsible for potentially serious lesions, most often involving the functional prognosis in the short, medium and long term, and rare The frequency of these traumas is explained by falls from high places, especially during work accidents or suicide attempts, but also by the perpetual increase in accidents on public roads ly the vital prognosis
Osteosyntheses employed in treating fractures at the upper end of the femur play a critical role in facilitating a swift recovery by minimizing immobilization periods and enabling early rehabilitation of the affected joints, thereby promoting a speedy return to normal walking function. Osteosynthesis alters the mechanical dynamics of the bone segment, which undergoes continual changes during the consolidation and mobilization phases of recovery. Throughout these stages, a range of mechanical complications may arise, posing challenges despite the successful prevention of infections. Non-infectious complications associated with the presence of osteosynthesis materials, especially in weight-bearing areas like the lower limb, remain a concern. In light of these considerations, surgeons must exercise meticulous care in selecting synthetic materials to mitigate the risk of osteosynthesis failures. In cases where internal fixation fails, the standard recourse often involves converting to total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is essential to note that THA subsequent to complications arising from proximal femur osteosynthesis presents a higher incidence of both intraoperative and postoperative complications compared to the implantation of primary total hip prostheses. Thus, while osteosynthesis remains a valuable intervention for femur fractures, careful attention to material selection and postoperative management is crucial in optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing complications.
The placenta accreta spectrum is a heterogeneous disorder due to abnormal placental invasion into the uterine wall putting at risk the lives of the patients by causing a massive hemorrhage. Its incidence is increasing due to the rise of the cesarean section. The management of this spectrum is multidisciplinary but not yet codified. Hysterectomy-caesarean, though hemostatic surgery, remains the standard Gold. Several adjuvant treatments have emerged in recent years to minimize the risk of bleeding and morbidity of these disorders including the internal-iliac prophylactic occlusion balloons. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the effect of prophylactic occlusion balloons in both uterine iliac arteries in the management of placental accreta spectrum disorders.
The (Coronavirus Clinical Characterisation Consortoum) 4C mortality score is an accessible risk stratification score developed by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) based on eight different parameters: age, sex, number of comorbidities, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale), urea or blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, and C reactive protein (CRP). It was derived and internally validated on a large, diverse cohort within the United Kingdom but requires external validity to confirm its generalizability. A recent validation study demonstrated that the score could be simplified by deleting CRP item which is favorable to its widespread use. we aim to validate a modified 4C score.
MicroPulse transscleral laser therapy (TLT) is proven to be effective in reducing intraocular pressure with minimal complications in either primary or secondary glaucoma. However, its impact on the human ocular surface remains unexplored. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the clinical and histopathological effects of MicroPulse TLT on the ocular surface.
Through recent studies residual curarization (RC) remains frequent but serious event, that could be easily avoided in the presence of a paraclinical monitoring and by antagonization of curares. However, conventional monitors focus only on peripheral muscles, whereas ultrasonography allows direct visualization of laryngeal muscles, particularly the vocal cords, which are directly influenced by neuromuscular blocking agents. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ultrasound mobility of the vocal cords after awakening and extubation of general anesthesia compared to their preoperative mobility and its correlation with clinical and paraclinical diagnostic criteria (DG) for RC.
Patients undergoing open colorectal surgery were randomly divided into two groups: Intravenous Lidocaine (IV-Lido) vs Intravenous Ketamine (IV-Keta). For the IV-Lido group, patients received a loading dose of Lidocaine than a continuous infusion over twenty-four hours. For the IV-Keta goup, patients received a loading dose of Ketamine than a continuous injection of Ketamine over twenty-four hours. Plasma concentrations of Interleukin-6(IL-6) were measured preoperatively before anesthetic induction and at twenty-four hour post operatively.
