Filter by:This clinical trial aims to investigate the effect of VR application on reducing preoperative anxiety and the intraoperative and postoperative pain of patients who undergo peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Whether preoperative VR application can reduce preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion; 2) Whether intraoperative VR application can reduce intraoperative and postoperative pain in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion; 3) Whether VR application can improve patients satisfaction of the operation. Participants will be randomly assigned to the VR group and control group, and participants in the VR group will be introduced to VR use and watch a VR video about the operating room environment 1 day before the surgery. During the procedure, participants in the VR group will watch a soothing video through the VR device. In contrast, participants in the control group will receive the usual preoperative and surgical procedures. Preoperative anxiety, intraoperative and postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction will be compared between the two arms.
Aortic valve stenosis is the heart valve disease with the highest prevalence among the elderly, and may lead to heart failure. Until recently, the only definitive treatment was surgical replacement (SAVR). However, the increased risk associated with the surgical procedure excluded patients with multiple co-morbidities. As the population is aging and more and more patients may present with aortic stenosis, the need of a less invasive approach has emerged. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) offered an alternative therapy for these high risk patients. This new method has seen worldwide acceptance, has been proven very beneficial for these patients, and therefore its indications have been expanded to intermediate risk patients, as well. Until recently, general anesthesia was the primary anesthetic technique for TAVR, but conscious sedation or monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is gaining more and more popularity lately. Our knowledge regarding the comparison between general anesthesia and MAC in TAVR procedures is derived mainly from observational studies and few randomized trials. MAC seems to be associated with less inotropic drug usage, shorter procedural times, shorter intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay. However, according to published data, there were no differences in 30-day mortality and complications between these two techniques. Even less are known about the most suitable anesthetic agent for MAC during TAVR. Many drugs have been used, with propofol and dexmedetomidine being the most popular. However, there are only few comparative studies and their results are not conclusive. This study compares MAC under propofol and MAC under dexmedetomidine for TAVR in order to examine which method of conscious sedation comes with more beneficial postoperative outcomes for the patients.
This is a prospective, cohort, randomized clinical trial examining the effect of simple renal cysts on renal function.
This study aim to recruit all Electronic Medical Record of patients who underwent for 51chromium ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (51Cr-EDTA) imaging at the Nuclear Medicine Centre, University Malaya Medical Centre from September 2016 to September 2021. The data that collected will be analyzed to develop and validate a new equation to estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate that specifically for Malaysian multiracial population.
To determine the short-term effects of concurrent valve ablation and bladder neck incision on re-intervention rate for patients with posterior urethral valve.
Retrospective study on the outcome of the renal function in patients operated because of juxtarenal aortic aneurysms.
This is a multicentric, prospective, parallel groups study. Patient recruitment will be carried out at the U.O. Departmental Endocrinology and Diabetology ASST FBF Sacco, Fatebenefratelli and Ophthalmic Hospital, and at the SSD of Endocrine Diseases and Diabetology ASST FBF Sacco, L. Sacco Hospital. At the screening visit, patients being treated with sulfonylureas / glinids will be shifted, depending on the subject's biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, based on current prescribing criteria and diabetes complications, to one of 4 different types of treatment: 1. GROUP 1: SGLT2 inhibitors +/- Metformin 2. GROUP 2: DPP4 inhibitors +/- Metformin 3. GROUP 3: GLP1-RA + Long-acting insulin +/- Metformin 4. GROUP 4: SGLT2 inhibitors + DPP4 inhibitors +/- Metformin At the screening visit the clinician will evaluate which new treatment to assign to the patient, based on the subject's biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, current prescribing criteria and existing complications (Algorithm for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, SID-AMD Care Standard 2018)
In this open clinical trial, 30 subjects with inadequately controlled T2D and eligible, as per good clinical practice, for therapy with SGLT-2 inhibitor, will be randomized to receive a SGLT-2 inhibitor vs other oral-antidiabetic drugs (OADs) therapy for 3 months. Measures will be performed at baseline, after 2 days, after one month and at the end of the study protocol, as per good clinical practice
This study aims to conduct a prospective collection of clinical and para-clinical data in patients with Chronic Renal Diseases to identify disease progression factors, markers of renal function, and the pathophysiology of Chronic Renal Diseases complications.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in mechanically ventilated patients on the lower limb and renal tissue perfusion.
