Filter by:Several risk factors for chronic postoperative pain have been identified. A series of studies have shown that administrating intraoperatively a high dose of Remifentanil is associated with an increased incidence of CPSP. These findings highlight a risk factor for CPSP that the anaesthetist can influence on, but they however remain limited to remifentanil. To this day, no study have attempted to evaluate the existence of such an association between the incidence of CPSP and the intraoperative administration of sufentanil doses. Improved knowledge of the long-term nociceptive impact of intraoperative sufentanil administration would enable better therapeutic adaptation according to each patient's risk. In the field of CPSP, non-major abdominal surgeries remain poorly studied. This is due to their lower risk of CPSP than other surgeries such as orthopaedic, mammary or thoracic surgery. Nevertheless, they constitute a large number of daily surgical procedures. The estimated incidence of CPSP in non-major abdominal surgery appears in several studies to be between 15 and 20% The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the intraoperative administration of sufentanil doses and the incidence of CPSP at 3 months in patients undergoing non-major scheduled abdominal surgery.
The aim of this study is to identify and assess new health-associated risk factors, including clinical-pharmacological risk factors. The cohort is built using telecommunication approaches. The associations between clinical-pharmacological, social, demographic, behavioral, and environmental characteristics will be assessed. The continuous depersonalized online survey is performed using the original informational resources in the form of specially designed web-site aimed at identification and assessment of population-based pharmacotherapy patterns including characteristics of self-medication, biologically active food supplement intake, polypharmacy, and adverse drug-drug interactions in the people residing in the ecological conditions of various regions of the country. The invitations to participate in the online survey are sent via the SMS messages using the SMS-Target tool provided by OOO T2 Mobile Company. The survey is performed online at www.zdorov.tpu.ru and www.zdorov.expert both specifically designed for questionnaire publication and data accumulation.
Recently, TCM has played an important role in adjuvant therapy for lung cancer. TCM treatment is based on pattern identification, and constitution theory is also used as a tool for TCM to predict the disease progression. Although there have been many researchs related to the pattern identification and constitution of lung cancer, in view of the problems and limitations, further research on lung cancer patients in Taiwan is needed. This study aims to explore the correlation between TCM constitution, pattern identification, and other related factors in patients with primary lung cancer in Taiwan, hoping to reveal the disease characteristics of lung cancer in TCM theory. This study intends to interview subjects through attending physicians in the thoracic ward and outpatient clinic of the CMUH from November 20th, 2023 to May 19th , 2025, and the subjects will be included in this study after the researchers ask the subjects for consent. This study will collect the demographic data of the subjects (sex, age, BMI, smoking history) and disease-related clinical data (tumor stage, pathological type, gene mutation, tumor markers, other comorbidities), and the investigator will ask about the subjects' signs according to the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ) , ask the subjects' symptoms according to the pattern identification table, obtain the data to analyze their distribution by descriptive statistics, and then analyze the correlation between them by analysis of variance and Chi-square test.
This study is observational, multicenter and prospective study for surveillance of the use of new antibiotics in pediatrics for treated pediatrics infections due to multi-resistant bacteria
The Stanislas Cohort is a monocentric familial longitudinal cohort originally comprised of 1006 families consisting of two parents and at least two biological children and deemed healthy, recruited in 1993-1995 at the Centre for Preventive Medicine of Nancy. This cohort was established with the primary objective of investigating gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The 5th visit of the STANISLAS Cohort will allow a better evaluation of the cardiovascular ageing of the population and the transition toward cardiovascular or renal diseases in relation with their genetic profile and environment.
This study is observational, retrospective and prospective study in pediatric patients hospitalized with invasive streptococcal A infection
The goal of this observational study is to establish and verify the Chinese version of surgical risk assessment system and explore its clinical application. The main questions it aims to answer are: The process of establishing a Chinese version of surgical risk assessment system; What is the accuracy of the system; How can the system be used in clinic; How does this system compare with other systems (such as NSQIP). Participants will comprehensively collect the general information, examination and pathological information of the patients, using machine learning and artificial intelligence methods for data processing. Finally, the Chinese version of the surgical risk assessment system will be established. After the system is established, investigators will evaluate the accuracy of the system and compare it with other related systems.
Observational retrospective study of patients in need of acute surgical care admitted to Skåne University Hospital between 2009 and 2019.
Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases, which is characterized by alveolar bone resorption and destruction. In China, as a major country in the incidence of periodontitis, there is a huge population of patients with severe periodontitis, and the incidence rate is as high as 12.1-16.1% . Previous studies have suggested that the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease increase with age. However, recent articles on meta analysis and related epidemiological investigations suggest that the prevalence of severe periodontitis does not increase with age, and the prevalence of SP remains at about 10% even in the elderly. In order to comprehensively analyze the risk factors of this population, it is inseparable from the analysis of gene polymorphism. At present, it is considered that the main genes that may be related to the severity of periodontitis are IL-1 α-889, rhIL-talk 1 β + 3953, 6-174, 10-597, CD14-260, CD14-159, MMP1-1607 and so on, which may be related to the severity of periodontitis.
The County Council of Region Skåne, Sweden, has recently initiated Targeted Health Dialogues in primary care. The prevention program includes health dialogues provided by specially trained personnel, collection of clinical and laboratory data as well as questionnaire data on, e.g., individual health and health behaviors. So far, it enrolls all 40-year old Swedish and foreign-born inhabitants in the county and it will also include all 50- and 60-year old persons within a near future. A research project will be integrated within the program where the collected data will be linked, on the individual level, to national and regional data on hospital admissions, clinical diagnoses from specialist clinics and primary care, causes of death, and prescriptions. The individual linkages will also include population data on sociodemographic characteristics, neighborhood of residence and family relations. Blood samples will be collected for analyses of molecular biomarkers. The research project will examine associations between potential predictors and future risk of cardiovascular diseases and other serious diseases, such as cancer, and also whether the effect of the prevention program is modified by these potential predictors. The effect of the intervention will be examined, and whether the protocol needs to be modified in order to develop more precise and personalized medicine.
