Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor(G-CSF) on decreasing adhesion reformation and improving fertility outcomes after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions.
To estimate the efficacy and safety of dried biological amnion graft after hysteroscopic lysis of intrauterine adhesions.
Study of the treatment of infertility caused by severe intrauterine adhesions or endometrial dysplasia by collagen scaffold loaded with autologous bone marrow stem cells, and to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of uterine infertility
Adhesions develop in more than 90% of patients undergoing an intra-abdominal surgical leading to serious consequences and complications at reoperation. The investigators initiate a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial to assess whether the use of C-Qur™ Film decreases the incidence of adhesion formation in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery. Treatment with the application of C-Qur™ Film as an adhesion prevention barrier for colorectal surgery will be compared with the control group at the second stage ostomy takedown procedure. The primary outcome evaluation will be assessment of adhesions to the incision site.
In this study, the investigators examined the capsule-IOL interaction including anterior and posterior capsule adhesion, contact between posterior capsule and the posterior edge of intraocular lense (IOL), configuration of capsular bend and the incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO) between high myopia eyes and emmetropia eyes.
Official title: Sensitivity and predictive value of functional cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detecting intra-abdominal adhesions Background: Adhesions are a frequent problem in abdominal surgery. The formation of adhesions is part of a normal wound healing. However in some patients adhesions cause severe complications such as chronic pain, obstruction and strangulation of the bowel. Adhesions can also obstruct access to the peritoneal cavity and complicate reoperations. Accurate imaging of adhesions would be of benefit avoiding adhesion related complications at repeated laparotomy or laparoscopy. At present no validated diagnostic tool mapping adhesions exists. Purpose: To define the sensitivity and specificity of functional cineMRI in detecting and mapping adhesions in patients undergoing reoperation. Design: Prospective multicenter observational trial Primary outcome: Sensitivity and specificity of functional MRI detecting adhesions to the abdominal wall Secondary outcome: Sensitivity and specificity of functional MRI detecting organ-to-organ adhesions. Estimated enrollment: 100 Estimated study completion date: dec 2019 Estimated primary completion date: dec 2019
This study will evaluate patients with abnormal immune function that results in recurrent or unusual infections or chronic inflammation. This may include inherited conditions, such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), and leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), or conditions resulting from outside factors, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The information from this study will be used to establish the pattern and pace of change of the disease and to help develop new treatments. The period of observation and study following enrollment in this study may be for up to one year. In addition these studies may provide the medical information needed to determine eligibility for enrollment in other clinical study protocols and more prolonged follow up. Patients of any age with abnormal immune function who have recurrent or unusual infections, whose blood tests show evidence of immune dysfunction, or who have GVHD, XSCID, CGD or LAD may be eligible for this study. Patients' parents, siblings, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles and first cousins of any age also may be included. Healthy normal volunteers between 18 and 85 years of age are recruited as controls. Normal volunteers undergo a physical examination and provide blood, saliva, and urine samples for immune function studies. Patients' family members provide a medical history, have a physical examination, and give blood and urine samples, and possibly a saliva sample. The samples are used for genetic and routine laboratory studies. Investigators may request tissue samples, such as biopsy specimens, previously removed for medical reasons to be sent to NIH for study. Patients undergo the following tests and procedures: 1. Medical history and physical examination. 2. Blood and urine tests, including analysis for genes involved in immune disorders. 3. Buccal smear (in some patients) for genetic studies. This involves scraping the lining of the mouth near the cheek. 4. Specialized tests to evaluate specific conditions in patients who have an immune disorder that might affect lung function, gum infections or eye problems. These may include chest x-ray, CT scan, breathing function test, dental, eye, and hearing examinations. 5. Follow-up visits of patients with immune problems may occur at 6 months and at one year after the first visit (or more frequently if medically required) to include: - Medical history update - Physical examination - Follow-up on abnormal test results and medical treatments initiated at NIH - Collection of blood, saliva, urine, or wound drainage samples for repeat immune function studies - Tissue study of specimens removed for medical reasons at other institutions besides NIH
