Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to analyze the short- and long-term outcome after surgical implantation of the Codubix® Ribs prosthesis in a descriptive and non-statistical way.
The Study Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of a 3D model with 2D CT/MRI scans during simulated preoperative surgical planning of open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted anatomic lung resection (segmentectomy, lobectomy) or Lower Anterior Resection (LAR) procedures.
The purpose of this study will be to implement and evaluate a prehab program for pre-frail and frail adults who need to undergo thoracic surgery. The study team hypothesizes using an implementation framework will increase the reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation of the prehab program.
The thoracic epidural catheterization (TEC) can be both uncomfortable and fearful for patients when done awake with the thought that the procedure may be painful. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of subanesthetic intravenous ketamine administration on pain and anxiety during the TEC procedure.
Postoperative pain is a significant concern following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Pain after thoracic surgery not only causes a strong stress reaction and adverse emotional experience but also affects postoperative rehabilitation. Hence, different analgesia techniques, including local anesthetic infiltration, intercostal nerve block, paravertebral block, and thoracic epidural anesthesia, have been described to attenuate the intensity of acute postoperative painparavertebral block (PVB) and Rhomboid intercostal block with sub-serratus plane block (RISS) are the two types of plane blocks used for postoperative analgesia after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prospective randomized controlled trial was performed to analyze the postoperative analgesic effects of ultra- sound-guided PVB and RISS block after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal symptom in athletes. More than 40% percent of high school baseball players reported incidents of LBP during the previous year. University baseball athletes were 3.23 times more likely to have lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration than the nonathletic university students. According to the regional interdependence model, a patient's chief complaints may be directly or indirectly related to or influenced by physical impairments from various body systems and regardless of proximity to the primary symptom(s). Athletes with a chief complaint of LBP frequently demonstrate with mobility restrictions in the thoracic spine and hips, which may contribute to compensatory hypermobility in the lumbar spine and subsequently lead to LBP. Few studies have examined the relationship between thoracic spine mobility and LBP, while many studies investigating the relationship between hip joint mobility and LBP in athletes showed inconsistent results. The inconsistent results may be due to different types of sports and measurement methods. Therefore, the objectives of this research project are to: (1) examine if baseball players with a history of LBP have mobility restriction in the thoracic spine and hips and movement coordination within the spine and hip regions during baseball batting that are different from those without a history of LBP; (2) identify thoracic spine and hip joint mobility and coordination related predictors for batting velocity and LBP in baseball players. This 2-year research project plans to recruitment a total of 110 male baseball players aged between 18 and 30 years from university and community recreational league baseball teams (55 players with a history of LBP and 55 age-matched players without a history of LBP). Participants will receive physical examination for the thoracic spine and hip joints (joint mobility and muscle stiffness) and 3D motion analysis for baseball batting. The results of this research project will guide the development of more specific and effective treatment and preventative training for baseball players with LBP and enhance their batting performance.
This is a single-site, non-randomized study on the outcomes of remote real-time "ePRO monitoring" in thoracic surgery patients. ePRO monitoring is a health information technology intervention comprised of delivering longitudinal electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) surveys (e.g., on symptoms, and physical functioning) coupled with automated provider alerts for concerning survey responses.
Objective: The authors hypothesized that combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is as effective as erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Design: A prospective randomized controlled study. Participants: Adult patients undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Interventions: Preoperative SAPB or ESPB implementation.
This project will be a Randomized clinical trial conducted to compare Short-term effects of thoracic spine manual traction with mobilization and Thoracic manipulation in patients with mid thoracic pain and pseudo visceral symptoms. Sample will be collected through non-probability convenient sampling, following eligibility criteria from Sehat Medical complex, Lahore. Eligibility criteria will be Age group between 20 to 40 years both male and female genders with mid thoracic pain having pseudo visceral symptoms. Referred by physician after exclusion of post-surgical condition from past 6 months Neurological, Pulmonological, Cardiac, Musculoskeletal and Esophageal conditions. Participants will be randomly allocated in two groups via sealed envelope method, baseline assessment will be done, Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with Thoracic spine manual traction with mobilization, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with Thoracic manipulation protocol. Pre and post intervention assessment will be done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Revised Oswestry thoracic pain disability questionnaire (ODI) and Inclinometer to measure ROM of Thoracic spine,3 sessions per week will be given for 4 weeks, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 29.
The aim of the study is to compare two different locoregional techniques in VATS.
