Filter by:In this randomized prospective single-blind study,American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system ( ASA )I-II-III patients aged 50-80 years undergoing transurethral bladder resection will be randomly divided into two groups. First group will be covered with 41 centigrade degrees double layered cotton cloth. Second group will receive active prewarming. Core temperature of all patients will be monitorized via tympanic membrane. Skin temperature will be monitorized from 4 different body areas. Spinal anesthesia will be applied at the level of L3-L4 by a 25 Gauge quincke needle with a dose of 12.5-15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Pinprick test will be used for sensorial block assessment. T10 sensorial block will be our goal. Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded. Skin temperature will be monitorized before and after spinal anesthesia and changes will be recorded. Operation time, amount and temperature of irrigation fluids, transfusion requirement, discharge time from postoperative care unit will also be recorded. Shivering score and thermal comfort scale will be used. The two groups will be compared for the temperature changes.
The interpretation of prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is difficult and requires expertise. As a result, it suffers from substantial inter-reader variability. The so-called Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scoring system has been launched in 2012 to try and standardise prostate mpMRI interpretation. It is a 5-level score that assesses the likelihood that suspicious focal prostatic lesions seen on mpMRI are clinically significant prostate cancers. Despite the use of semi-objective criteria for each category of the score, the inter-reader reproducibility of the first two versions (PI-RADS v1 launched in 2012 and PI-RADS v2 launched in 2015) was moderate at best, even for experienced readers. The last version (PI-RADS v2.1) has been launched in March 2019 in an effort to improve the inter-reader reproducibility. This version has not been evaluated yet. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the accuracy and inter-reader reproducibility of the PI-RADS v2.1 score on a large set of 171 prostate MRIs using 21 readers of varying experience. Twenty-one readers (14 seniors and 7 juniors) from 9 different institutions and with varying experience in prostate mpMRI accepted to participate to the study. Reader will assess the dataset independently and will be blinded to the other readers' results. They also be blinded to clinical and biochemical data.
Despite knowledge about the effect of preventive measures in lifestyle, smoking,nutrition, alcohol and physical activity (SNAP), there is a lack of systematic assessment of the overall lifestyle of the patient before surgery and knowledge about how lifestyle interventions can be organized in connection with cancer surgery. The intention with prehabilitation is to optimize the individual's risk factors and personal burdens that can affect the clinical and patient reported outcomes after surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intensive SNAP interventions compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in ptt undergoing urological cancer surgery on surgical risk reduction.
This is a mono-center, open-label, phase 1 study evaluating the humanized anti-PD-1 antibody JS001, as a monotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma or urological cancers who have failed in routine systemic treatment. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation and cohort expansion to investigate tolerability and efficacy.
Intra ocular pressure (IOP) may theoretically increase due to steep Trendelenberg position and studies showed that IOP reaches peak levels after steep Trendelenberg position on an average of 13 mmHg higher than preanesthesia induction values. Major determinants of IOP are aqueous humor flow, choroidal blood volume, central venous pressure and extra ocular muscle tone. Hassen GW et al measured anterior chamber depth in 2 patients with glaucoma and compared the anterior chamber depth (ACD) with the intraocular pressure measured by tonometer. They concluded that bedside ultrasound could be useful in evaluating patient with suspected increased IOP, who are unable to open their eyes.
