Filter by:Most osteotomies and apicoectomies in periapical surgeries are performed by surgical carbide or diamond burs. But greater pressure is applied during cutting which causes more thermal and mechanical damage to the bone. Also, when it comes in contact with soft tissues like nerves or vessels it results in profuse bleeding which affects vision in surgery and neurosensory disturbance at a later stage along with the deposition of metal shavings and bony particles resulting in impaired healing. The main advantages of piezoelectric surgery in various studies are highlighted as selective hard tissue cutting and sparing soft tissue, so even if it comes in contact with vessels, nerve or Schneiderian membrane it does not result in profuse bleeding, postoperative nerve damage or perforation.
Fatigue is among the most frequently reported sequelae in stroke survivors. For a specific stroke diagnosis, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), fatigue, in general, is reported to be present in 30 to 90% of the patients. It is the mental fatigue component that significantly contributes to difficulties that patients with aSAH face when returning to normal life. However, there is substantial variation in the reported incidence of mental fatigue (25%-60%), which may be attributed to several methodological factors, such as differences in the follow-up periods and instruments used. Consequently, a complete understanding of how mental fatigue influences long-term recovery remains elusive. This research project will contribute to new and important knowledge in long-term effects after SAH when it comes to mental fatigue. In this study patients surviving an SAH will be assessed for mental fatigue at 5 years after the insult. The patients have previously been assessed at 1 and 3 years. All patients have been treated at Sahlgrenska University Hospital during the acute phase after SAH. Follow-up is performed after 5 years after aSAH through a structured telephone interview, where patients are scored using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) Additionally, the patients receive a self-assessment questionnaire, the Mental Fatigue Scale, Patients are reminded to return the questionnaires at three times. This study aims to determine the long-term prevalence, severity, and dynamics of mental fatigue at 1, 3, and 5 years after an aSAH. The study also aims to identify whether demographic characteristics and secondary complications or diagnoses after aSAH can be associated with an increased risk of developing mental fatigue or unfavourable outcome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different strategies for normothermia prevention in patients undergoing body contouring and other Aesthetic Plastic Surgery procedures. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: - Do active measures have an impact on preventing hypothermia in patients undergoing cosmetic procedures? - Does an active normothermia prevention protocol have any impact in the clinical setting? Four different protocols will be used for patient peroperative preparation for normothermia.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of death related to pregnancy. PPH can lead to blood transfusion, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), hysterectomy, or death. The prophylactic administration of uterotonic agents as part of an active management of the third stage of labor has been proven to reduce rates of PPH. However, even with these treatments, PPH rate is still relatively high, and puts women at risk of heavy bleeding and death. Calcium is a key component in the coagulation cascade and known as factor IV. It has a role in platelet activation, and it is an important co-factor for the activation of factors II and There is a concentration-dependent effect of hypocalcemia on in vitro clot strength in patients at risk of bleeding. Calcium gluconate is the calcium salt of gluconic acid, and it has a relatively strong safety profile. Hypocalcemia is a poor prognostic factor in actively bleeding patients. Calcium has a positive inotropic effect both on skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. The inotropic effect doesn't skip the myometrium, and it is well-established that hypocalcemia can impair myometrial contractility. As so, calcium channel blockers are prescribed as a tocolytic drug and calcium gluconate should be considered as adjuvant therapy for treating PPH duo to atony, in case of prolonged tocolytic or magnesium sulfate use prior to delivery. Studies have already shown an association between low ionized calcium levels and the risk for severe bleeding. In a pilot randomized controlled trial of patients with risk factors for uterine atony, calcium was shown to reduce uterine atony compared to placebo. However, current studies have small sample size and are limited to a high-risk population. There are no recommendations in current guidelines for monitoring calcium levels or prescribing calcium as a prophylactic measure for the third stage of labor, despite atony and coagulopathy being significant causes of PPH. HYPOTHESIS: Administration of Calcium Gluconate at the third stage of elective Cesarean delivery will decrease the rates of blood loss during and after the surgery by reducing the rates of uterine atony and development of coagulopathy, thus has the potential of reducing the incidence of PPH and its complications without severe side effects.
Gender diverse individuals who use gender-affirming testosterone therapy (GATT) to reduce gender dysphoria may also use progestins for contraception and to manage or suppress uterine bleeding. Research is limited, however, regarding expected bleeding patterns for individuals who choose to initiate GATT concurrently with a progestin. Clinicians who prescribe GATT do not have sufficient data to adequately counsel patients on side effects of concurrent progestin use and therefore extrapolate from studies conducted in cisgender women. This study is a prospective cohort study evaluating bleeding patterns and satisfaction among patients initiating GATT with or without concurrent initiation of a progestin contraceptive. The results from this study will enable clinicians to more accurately counsel patients using GATT on how the use of a progestin might affect their bleeding and whether this differs by progestin method.
The goal of this observational retrospective study is to evaluate artificial intelligences (AI)'s proficiency in identifying and annotating brain bleeds in computed tomography (CT) images. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether AIs at present are capable of analyzing and recognizing cerebral traumas in CT images? - If they are, how competent are they and how can humans take advantages of that? CT images were selected during the normal diagnosis and treatment process of patients, and no one needed to undergo any additional procedures connected to the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing blood loss in participants undergoing surgery to remove brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does TXA 20 mg/kg IV bolus of TXA, and 1 mg/kg/hr infusion of TXA reduce the amount of estimated blood loss during surgery? 2. Does TXA 20 mg/kg IV bolus of TXA, and 1 mg/kg/hr infusion of TXA prevent re-operation, disability or death related to bleeding inside the head during and after surgery? Participants are randomized to receive 20 mg/kg IV bolus of TXA or matching placebo within 30 minutes of start of surger, and then 1 mg/kg/hr infusion of TXA or matching from the start of surgery to end of surgery. Treatment allocation is blinded. Investigator will compare the two treatment arms to see whether there are differences in the amount of blood loss during surgery and bleeding-related complications. Investigators will also monitor for any side effects of TXA.
This trial (BRONCUS) is a randomized one designed to evaluate the overall safety of ultrasound guided compared to bronchoscopy guided compared to ultrasound-bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy, in order to find out if universal standardization is required or customized approach can be sufficient.
In this study, researchers will observe and study the data from participants with hemophilia A who receive damoctocog alfa pegol as prescribed by their doctors. Participants will not receive any advice or changes to their healthcare during the study. Hemophilia A is a genetic bleeding disorder. It is caused by the lack of a protein called clotting factor 8 (FVIII) that helps blood to clot properly. Lack of FVIII can result in excessive blood loss or bleeding inside the body after being injured or having surgery. The study drug, damoctocog alfa pegol, can be used to prevent or treat bleeding episodes by replacing missing FVIII in the body of people with hemophilia A. It is already approved for people with hemophilia A who are at least 12 years old and have previously used other hemophilia A treatments. Through this study, researchers want to learn more about its safety in a real-world setting. The participants will receive damoctocog alfa pegol as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how safe damoctocog alfa pegol is in Korean participants with hemophilia A who previously used other hemophilia A treatments. To do this, researchers will collect information about any medical problems participants have during their treatment. Data will be collected from December 2023 to March 2026 and cover a period of about 8 months for each participant. Data will come from participants' health records and information collected during their routine clinic visits. In this study, only available data from routine care will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
Our understanding of neurosecretory dysfunction after TBI is still insufficient, and the number of patients with neuroendocrine dysfunction caused by craniocerebral trauma may be underestimated, especially the neuroendocrine changes related to HPA axis in the early stage after craniocerebral trauma. Moreover, there are few and fragmentary literature data on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy in patients with neuroendocrine disorders after traumatic brain injury. This requires more studies to further determine the characteristics of pituitary function or hormone disorders in the early stage after traumatic brain injury, which makes it necessary for us to further study the neuroendocrine dysfunction (hormone disorder) in the early stage after craniocerebral injury. To explore the relationship between craniocerebral injury and early hormone disorder by measuring the changes of early hormone levels in patients with TBI is of great significance for the early detection of related complications after craniocerebral injury and the evaluation of the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury, and can provide a new diagnosis and treatment plan for early intervention of related complications after TBI.
