Filter by:Summary 1. Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of rapid acquisition of point of care 3D ultrasound in obtaining abdominal and/or pelvic images. The study will use a newly developed acquisition method and post-processing technique to create three dimensional image models of the abdomen and/or pelvis. 2. Study activities and population group. The study population will be a convenience sample of patients of any age presenting to the Emergency Department with complaints necessitating a clinical abdominal and/or pelvic imaging. The study intervention includes acquisition of research ultrasound images, which will not be used for clinical care, and comparison of these images with clinically obtained images. Other clinical data such as surgical and pathology reports will also be reviewed. 3.Data analysis and risk/safety issues. This is a pilot study intended to determine feasibility and to refine image reconstruction algorithms. Research images will be compared to clinical images. Comparison of research images with final diagnosis will also occur. The research intervention, an ultrasound exam, has no known safety risks. The only risk to subjects is loss of confidentiality. This study is observational, not interventional, because the experimental ultrasound will be performed in all subjects and will not be used in the clinical care of patients (consequently, will not have the opportunity to affect clinical outcomes). Experimental images will be reviewed after completion of clinical care and will not be provided to the clinicians caring for the subjects. The investigators are not measuring the effect of the ultrasound examination on the subjects' outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of anesthetic technique on the change of postoperative serum vascular endothelial growth factor C and prostaglandin E2, and to explore the potential impact of the anesthetic technique on leiomyomas recurrence and growth after the surgery of abdominal myomectomy.
Uterine leiomyomas is the commonest benign tumour of the female genital tract. It lead to menorrhagia, anaemia, pain and pressure symptoms. Due to the enlarged uterus, the use of minimal invasive surgery is limited. There is also increase risk of intraoperative blood transfusion. Ulipristal acetate (UPA) is a selective progesterone-receptor modulator (SPRM). Preoperative use of Ulipristal for 12 weeks has been shown to decrease uterine bleeding, fibroid volume, pre-operative anaemia and symptoms severity. However there is still lacking evidence in terms of long term safety and efficacy, especially in Chinese population. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect and safety on preoperative use of Ulipristal on fibroid.
The purpose of this observational, retrospective database study of patients with uterine fibroids is to compare the durability of symptom relief after uterus-conserving treatments for symptomatic fibroids in terms of incidence of, and time to, new or recurrent symptoms and subsequent procedures and evaluate the effect stakeholder participation had on the research process.
To determine the safety of extended treatment with Proellex® in women who have successfully completed either study ZPV-201 [NCT02323646] or ZPU-203 [NCT02301897] and meet eligibility criteria.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of insufflated bags for electromechanical power morcellation during laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy for tissue removal and to observe the integrity of the bags throughout and after insufflation and power morcellation. The hypothesis is the bags will remain in tact without leakage from the bags during and after power morcellation using the described contained system, confirming the safety and efficacy of the systems.
This is a multi-centre, multinational, prospective, non-interventional study in females with a diagnosis of moderate to severe uterine fibroids, and for whom a treatment with Esmya in a long term manner is planned, and in subjects who were previously exposed to UPA in the long term Phase III studies.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of MR-HIFU for the treatment of uterine fibroids in Northwestern Ontario, which is a rural and remote setting.
In this study the investigators will perform a randomized trial to compare the surgical outcomes of vaginal versus abdominal morcellation of the uterus during hysterectomy. In minimally invasive gynecologic surgery small incisions are made in the abdomen and pelvis so that a hysterectomy can be performed by laparoscopy. The challenge is then to remove the uterus, which may be quite large, through these small incisions. One option is to morcellate the uterus and remove the tissue through either a small abdominal incision or an incision in the vagina. When an organ is morcellated it is cut into smaller pieces so that it can be removed, section by section, through a small incision. The investigators will compare these two methods of tissue removal to see whether one results in better surgical outcomes or increased intra-operative or post-operative complications. The primary outcome will be the time it takes to perform the surgery (operative time). Secondary surgical outcomes that will be studied include the amount of blood lost during surgery, post-operative complications, and readmission to the hospital.
This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of elagolix alone and in combination with estradiol/norethindrone acetate for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women.
