Filter by:One-hundred and one healthy participants (221 gingival recessions-GRs) were treated from 1987 to 1996. The probing depth (PD), keratinized tissue width (KTW), gingival recession depth (RD), gingival recession width (RW), gingival recession area (RA) were evaluated and considered at baseline and along time. The obtained data will be evaluated and compared.
Over 21 million surgical procedures take place among adults aged 65 and older in the US each year, and most older surgical patients in the US now receive benzodiazepines (e.g., midazolam, lorazepam) during anesthesia care. This occurs despite recommendations to avoid these medications in older patients due to associated medical risks and lack of demonstrated benefit. In other words, routine benzodiazepine administration to older surgical patients is likely to represent low-value care that is a suitable target for de-adoption. In this study, we will evaluate a United States Anesthesia Partners (USAP, Dallas, TX) quality improvement initiative using peer comparison feedback to clinicians and/or mailed informational letters to patients as strategies to encourage physician de-adoption of routine preoperative benzodiazepine administration to older surgical patients. In partnership with USAP, this study will be conducted using randomization to evaluate its effect.
Through this quantitative, multivariate factorial experimental research of the Parallel Randomized Clinical Trial type, the investigators will try to analyze the effectiveness in reducing levels of anxiety, stress and pain through pre-anesthetic assessment and pain neuroscience education in patients undergoing elective total abdominal hysterectomy.
The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. This study is planned to be conducted in the Urology clinic of a university hospital located in the south of Turkey. The population of the research will be the patients admitted to the urology clinic for prostatectomy. The sample of the study will consist of patients who meet the criteria for participation in the study and volunteer to participate in the study. Evaluation of the research data will be done with the SPSS package program.
This study aims to compare Laparoscopic assisted LTAP (Transversus Abdominis Plane) to standard port-site infiltration in terms of post-operative visual analogue scores (VAS) for pain at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours following laparoscopic appendicectomy Tap Block is a standard conventional analgesia protocol for laparoscopic appendicitis used in Beaumont Hospital, and other hospitals throughout Ireland. The medicinal product for both groups is the same - Bupivacaine. The mode of administration is what this study is reviewing: Control group (Standard port site infiltration) and Study Group - Laparoscopic Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
The INTACT-HIP trial study will evaluate feasibility of conducting a randomized, double-blinded controlled trial comparing postoperative treatment with intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen, in older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The results of this feasibility trial will be used to inform designing a larger, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of IV acetaminophen compared to oral acetaminophen to reduce delirium and improve other clinical and patient-centered outcomes after hip fracture surgery. It will randomize 42 older adults to receive either oral or IV acetaminophen after hip fracture surgery.
The sternothyroid (ST) muscle is closely adherent to the thyroid gland with oblique insertion into the thyroid cartilage. EBSLN passes through the sternothyroid laryngeal triangle with a parallel course deep to the ST muscle. This study evaluates the transection of the sternothyroid muscle as a key step during thyroidectomy to increase the rate of exposure and visual identification of EBSLN compared to ST muscle retraction as a traditional technique.
This study evaluates the influence of different dose and methods of propofol on emergence agitation(EA) through a randomized controlled trial when preschool children undergoing ambulatory surgery of inguinal hernia.
This research focuses on the development and validation of indicators on the relevance of antibiotic prescriptions. The investigators want to propose transferable tools to other healthcare institutions to allow automated construction of quality indicators as part of a structured approach to improve future practices. The main objective of the study is to develop indicators on the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions and on surgical prophylaxis automated from the hospital information system and to assess their criterion validity.
The study investigates the technical feasibility of using mobile health trackers for monitoring of hospitalized patients. Therefore the measurement accuracy of several vital parameters in postoperative hospitalized patients will be compared to clinical gold standard. Factors that could have an influence on the measurement accuracy of the mobile sensors will be investigated.Furthermore patient compliance in continous use of mobile health trackers and technical feasibility of needed data flow will be analyzed. In addition, patients' activity levels are recorded and correlated with various clinical parameters.
