Filter by:Chronic nasal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy is among the most common health problems affecting children, and adenoidectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in this age group Because of difficulties associated with the use of the objective methods (such as nasopharyngeal endoscopy) in young children, the development of a reliable scale based on the child's symptoms to properly evaluate the need for surgical intervention would be of great value for clinicians. When adenoidectomy is being considered, the diagnosis and documentation of adenoidal hypertrophy become an important issue. Numerous modalities have been used for this task, including trans oral digital palpation and trans oral mirror examination; however, these methods are quite impractical with uncooperative younger children
The purpose of the study is to assess the role of mitral valve apparatus in the development of outflow tract obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to identify the best surgical treatment modality to relieve outflow tract obstruction in such patients
In a crossover design 10 young healthy adults (20-35 y) will receive stable isotope tracer infusions and perform a single bout of resistance exercise. Immediately after exercise participants will ingest either 3.5 oz of Salmon fillet or its constituent macronutrients as isolated amino acids and fat. Repeated blood and breath samples as well as muscle biopsies will be collected to determine whole body amino acid kinetics, muscle amino acid transporters, anabolic signalling and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during the trials
In a randomized, partly double-blind prospective setup we want to compare traditional adult electro-scissor tonsillectomy With ultrasound Technology, Bizact.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intradermal injection of Nanofat on wound healing and scar formation.
Pressure therapy (PT) and silicone therapy are recommended as first-line non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Scar (HS), yet the effectiveness of the combination of these two treatments through an RCT trial has not been established yet. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the combination of adequate pressure therapy and silicone gel sheeting implemented by Smart Scar Care Pad (SSCP) + conventional Pressure Garment (PG) versus conventional Pressure Garment (PG) alone in the management of HS in adult with total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR). This study also aims to find out the prevalence of hypertrophic scar among patients with THR and TKR. This study is a randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms, with allocation ratio (Experimental: Control) of 1: 1 in order to establish the superiority of SSCP + PG over PG. Subjects with hypertrophic scar will be randomly assigned to either treatment or control group. The subjects in the treatment group will be provided with the SSCP and PG for treatment, whereas the subjects in the control group will be prescribed only the PG. The treatment will last for a total of 6 months. A variety of objective outcome measures will be used to analysis the treatment effect.
The main objective of the study is to improve implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation decision-making processing relevance by developing a new prediction model of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including newly identified potential biomarkers by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetics, through a prospective nationwide study, multivariate analysis and modelling of an absolute risk. The secondary objective is to perform a medico-economic analysis of ICD implantation in order to define an optimal rule for ICD implantation in patients with HCM, taking into account the benefits of ICD, adverse effects of ICD and associated costs (cost of quality adjusted life years saved).
The main purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of ATTR Cardiomyopathy among patients admitted due to Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) >15mm of unknown etiology by using a 99mTc-tracer scintigraphy based protocol
The hypothesis is that liver venous deprivation (LVD) could strongly improve hypertrophy of the future remnant liver (FRL) at 3 weeks, as compared to portal vein embolization (PVE) in patient with liver metastases from colo-rectal origin considered as resectable.
The overall aim of this project is to establish potential benefits of a novel lifestyle (physical activity and dietary nitrate) and pharmacological (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor) interventions in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease with a broad spectrum of disease severity. Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor reduces death, hospitalisation, and may improve cardiac function and exercise tolerance in heart failure. Exercise training is associated with a significant increase in exercise tolerance, but appear to have limited effect on measures of cardiac morphology or function in patients with HCM. Dietary supplementation with inorganic nitrate (i.e. concentrated nitrate-rich beetroot juice) improves exercise capacity, vasodilatation and cardiac output reserves while reduces arterial wave reflections, which are linked to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and remodelling. Using a five-centre, open label, three-arm, pilot design, the present study will evaluate the effect of lifestyle (physical activity and dietary supplementation with inorganic nitrate) and pharmacological (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril / valsartan) interventions in patients with HCM. The Aim is to examine whether these interventions improve functional capacity, clinical phenotypic characteristics, and quality of life in patients with HCM.
