Filter by:Sexual health and satisfaction are well know as critical critera to assess quality of life, at any age. Among the multiple aspects of sexual health, erectile dysfunction (ED) is not anymore a fate, mainly thanks to the advent of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors in 1998. Nevertheless, a significant part of patients are intolerant or does not respond to PDE5 inhibitors and thus are looking for other treatment options. Since the first implantation of foreign material intracarvernosally in 1966 by Beheri, multiple modifications and enhancements were achieved in order to produce devices more reliable with a more natural appearance. First introduced in 1973 by Scott et al., inflatable prosthesis provides now high general satisfaction rates (69-94%), better than in malleable prostheses, except for few authors. In addition to changes in materials and construction, the two main manufacturers of IPP, Boston scientific AMS (Marlborough, MA, USA) and Coloplast (Minneapolis, MN, USA), modernized the pump mechanism of their devices. Since the introduction of AMS IPP, three main pump formats have been used : the standard pump has been replaced in 2004 by the " Tactile " pump and then the " Momentary Squeeze " (MS) pump in 2006, smaller and easier to deflate by not requiring the patient to hold the deflation button throughout deflation. Coloplast also replaced in 2008 their " Genesis " pump by a " One Touch Release " (OTR) pump, and finally in 2014 by the current " Touch " pump, smaller, and presenting a biconcave deflation button, easier to find. Despite all technological advances, appropriate pre-operative counselling and careful post-operative teachning, a significant part of patients has still difficulties to handle the pump and thus, does not use their IPP, regardless of any material malfunction. That situation obviously leads to patient's dissatisfaction and highlights the operating risks of a useless surgical procedure. The purposes of this study were:to identify the risks factors, modifiable and non-modifiable, for patients' difficulty to inflate and/or deflate their device after IPP implantation, then to show a correlation between easy handling and post-operative satisfaction. And last but not least, to show an association between pre-operative pump pattern viewing and handling and post-operative easy handling. That information could help the physicians to improve the pre-operative selection of patients and to adapt the peri-operative care in order to improve patients satisfaction.
CovidSurg-Cancer is an international, multicentre, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the 30-day COVID-19 infection rates in elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Centres can elect to include one or more cancer types in the study, in any combination, depending on local expertise and capacity. During the pilot study, investigators should enrol patients with confirmed diagnoses of: - Colorectal cancer - Oesophagogastric cancer As a rapid response study to the COVID-19 pandemic, included cancer types will evolve throughout the course of the CovidSurg-Cancer study period, for example, to include breast, liver, pancreatic, gynaecological, urological cancers, or sarcomas.
This case series evaluates whether patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair have better outcome if the anterolateral ligament (ALL) was repaired or not considering the ultrasound (US) pre-surgical recommendation.
There are many different types of mini-invasive approaches to aortic surgery. Ministernotomy and anterior right minithoracotomy are the two main techniques applied for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement, but if one of them is superior in terms of patient outcomes it is not still clear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the immediate and long-term outcomes of these two techniques.
CovidSurg will capture real-world international data, to determine 30-day mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection who undergo surgery. This shared international experience will inform the management of this complex group of patients who undergo surgery throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, ultimately improving their clinical care.
The rationale of this study is to compare repeatability, reproducibility and agreement of three different AS-OCT devices and Pentacam. The investigational devices are approved biometry and keratometry devices to perform biometric/keratometric measurements preoperatively before cataract surgery. The measurements are used to calculate the needed IOL power. Measurements with all four devices will be performed 3 times consecutively by two trained observer. The order of the observer, the order of devices as well as the eye (left/right) is randomized. Examinations will be implemented in accordance with the approved investigational plan on subjects and includes: repeated biometry/keratometry with four different devices
The purpose of the trial is to identify the "most simple non-inferior of three different methods", placebo, laparoscopic assisted transverse abdominal plane block (L-TAP) and ultrasound guided TAP block (US-TAP), using postoperative opioid consumption as a measure of efficacy in patients undergoing elective minimally invasive colon surgery in an ERAS setting. Postoperative pain scores and length of stay (LOS) will also be measured. The simplicity of the three methods is ranked as: 1) placebo, 2) L-TAP and 3) US-TAP.
PROADAPT is a standardized geriatric intervention that is currently being co-constructed during an exploratory phase on a multi-professional and multi-disciplinary basis after a systematic analysis of published data (Figure). It consists in: 1) before surgery: a prehabilitation of the patients including a nutritional, physical and educational preparation; 2) during the hospitalization for surgery: an optimisation of their treatments through a pharmaceutical conciliation, educational interventions, standardization of surgical procedures and enhanced rehabilitation after surgery; 3) bridging and post-discharge interventions for hospital-to-home transition. This intervention is based on a logic change model, constructed with literature data and validated by an expert group through a DELPHI method : the rehabilitation model. This intervention was designed to be implemented pragmatically in the centers according local habits and is currently being evaluated in several distinct hospital contexts under the name of "PROADAPT pilot study" in different tumor contexts thanks to a grant from the Regional Health Agency of Rhône-Alpes Auvergne region. PROADAPT intervention is planned to be evaluated in 4 tumor models inducing complex medico-surgical procedures considered at high risk of geriatric deconditioning. They have the same primary objectives in order to be evaluated into a meta-analysis. Results will be used to test the validity of the rehabilitation model. Therefore, it is a study reaching the goal of the population health intervention research. The purpose of the PROADAPT-ovary/EWOC-2 study is to evaluate the impact of PROADAPT on patient's post-surgical outcomes in patients ≥ 70 years old with an advanced ovarian cancer (AOC).
The effect of neo-adjuvant immunochemotherapy on survival of patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas remains unknown. One of our objectives is to evaluate whether the neo-adjuvant immunochemotherapy Toripalimab (JS001) with cisplatin and paclitaxel followed by right thoracic approach esophagectomy with total 2-field lymph node dissection improves the overall survival of thoracic esophageal cancer patients versus neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
Main objective: To evaluate the bidirectional relationships between physical exercise and sleep parameters, as a part of multimodal prehabilitation intervention, on pre- and postoperative outcomes in surgical patients with colorectal cancer, in an RCT. Secondary objective: to determine whether the levels of anxiety and depression affect these relationships. Objectives are based on the overarching hypothesis that is sleep and physical activity influence each other through complex, reciprocal interactions including multiple physiological and psychological pathways. To achieve this, providing a multimodal prehabilitation, specifically physical exercise, involved in mental and physical health through different mechanisms, i.e., improving physical functioning and fitness, reducing side effects of cancer treatments, preventing bone loss and weight gain, improving the quality of life and sleep, decreasing symptoms of fatigue and depression. The present is a pilot study aiming to evaluate the bidirectional relationships between sleep and physical exercise, and the preliminary outcome has important implications for informing both clinical and public health practice. Research question: Does a multimodal intervention including physical exercise improve sleep quality and duration compared to standard of care, during the perioperative period? Conversely, does a better sleep quality and duration increases the level of physical exercise during the perioperative period? How the level of anxiety and depression will affect these relationships? If the Prehabilitation program specifically physical exercise will positively affect sleep quality and duration after surgery, in the way to be a protective factor of sleep to not be reduced by up to 55% compared to those receiving standard of care?
