Filter by:Low-dose haloperidol is known to be effective for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, precise dose-response studies have not been completed, especially in patients at high risk for PONV who require combination therapy. This study sought to identify the optimal dose of haloperidol that could be combined with dexamethasone without adverse effects in high-risk PONV patients receiving intravenous patient-controlled anesthesia (IV PCA) after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
The study compares the effect of bilateral salpingectomy associated with conservative hysterectomy on ovarian function to the standard hysterectomy with conservation of both ovaries and tubes in terms of hormone assays, ovarian ultrasound evaluation, complications, quality of life.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of four different follow-up strategies on postoperative recovery following vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions. Furthermore the investigators aim to examine associations between preoperative thresholds for pain (thermal and pressure) and postoperative pain and development of chronic pelvic pain after benign hysterectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HGF serum concentration might be raised in vivo by administering nadroparin given with prophylactic purpose to gynecological patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 30 months to the standard chemotherapy is more effective than the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 15 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine the activity, tolerability and safety of Temsirolimus in women with ovarian cancer who progressed during the previous platinum chemotherapy alternatively within 6 months from completion of therapy or advanced endometrial carcinoma.
Increases in cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T cells in the blood is well documented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART), but increases CD4+ T cells in the cervix is variable and not fully understood. Although the amount of HIV in the vagina declines in parallel with those in the plasma when antiretroviral therapy for HIV is started, HIV is still detected frequently in cervical samples from women with undetectable plasma viral loads, suggesting that low level viral replication in the female vaginal tract could lead to both inflammation and incomplete increases in CD4+ T cells. Two classes of HIV medications, nonnucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors are substantially lower in the female genital tract compared to plasma, whereas concentrations of another class, nucleos(t)ide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors are similar or higher to those found in plasma. Thus, many widely used first-line three drug HIV therapies only achieve high concentrations of only two medications in the female genital tract. Importantly, with the recent development of raltegravir (RAL), which achieves concentrations in the female genital tract higher than those in plasma, ART regimens that deliver high concentrations of 3 antiretroviral drugs to the female genital tract are now available. The investigators hypothesize that cervical CD4+ T cell reconstitution is better and inflammatory markers are lower in HIV-infected women on a HIV-therapy including tenofovir (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) with RAL versus ritonavir (RIT)-boosted atazanavir (ATZ), and that this is due to therapeutic concentrations of 3 versus 2 antiretroviral drugs in the female genital tract.
The impact of anaesthetic method (intravenous vs. inhalational) has been proposed, but not proven in a large-scale study. The researchers aim to provide an investigation that has sufficient power to clarify the potential effect of anaesthetic method on postoperative need of opioids. Sevoflurane and propofol will be compared.
This project will conduct a prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study to assess the onset and incidence of lymphoedema, as well as investigate factors associated with its development among women newly diagnosed with gynaecological cancers in 2008 to 2011.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early identification and more precise intervention of operating room (OR) patient fluid administration optimization using arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) yields comparable patient outcome as fluid administration optimization using a global standard care method.
