Filter by:To compare efficiency, in terms of tissue morcellation and removal time, of two commercially available FDA-approved morcellators: the VersaCut and the Piranha in subjects undergoing HoLEP procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
When practicing weightlifting regularly the body makes new proteins within the muscle. These new proteins can increase the size of the cells within the muscle to make them larger, a process called hypertrophy. The common convention surrounding gains in skeletal muscle size and strength is that heavy weights are needed. In contrast, lifting lighter weights are thought to be required to induce muscular endurance and not to promote growth. However, it has previously been shown in untrained men that lifting lighter weights results in similar gains in muscle mass and strength as lifting heavier weights. The purpose of this study is to examine how performing resistance training of different intensities (light or heavy weights) affects the degree of muscle growth and strength gain in individuals who are already resistance training. This information will be valuable when designing exercise protocols for increasing muscle size and strength at all ages, or in individuals returning from injury, as a way to stimulate muscle growth and promote strength gains without the need to lift heavy weights.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) compared is an effective and safe treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms not adequately controlled by medical therapy with alpha-blockers, as assessed by the the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) after 6 months. Patients will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio to PAE or to a sham procedure and evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months. Patients randomized to the sham procedure will be offered the possibility of performing PAE after 6 months. All patients may participate on an optional 6-months extension study.
This prospective evaluation studies the effectiveness of Intralesional (IL) cryotherapy with a argon gas based device in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars in population consisting of all Fitzpatrick skin type patients
Compare the results of reconstruction and mitral valve replacement in the surgical treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with severe mitral insufficiency.
This study aims to explore the feasibility of moxibustion as a supplementary intervention and to assess the sample size for verifying the effectiveness and safety of integrative treatment involving moxibustion compared with conventional treatment for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) accompanying moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of RXI-109 in reducing the recurrence of hypertrophic scar formation following elective revision of a pre-existing hypertrophic abdominal scar.
The aim of this study is to determine whether adherence to oral maintenance medications differs for patients randomized to receive a RxTimerCap, a Take-N-Slide, a standard pillbox, or none of these devices, with the hypothesis that low-touch devices improve adherence over control and that the increase in adherence is agnostic across devices.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a range of doses of botulinum toxin Type A (BOTOX®) for the treatment of patients with bilateral Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy (MMH).
This prospective evaluation studies the effectiveness of IL cryotherapy in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars in a large population of mixed Fitzpatrick skin types.
