Partial Breast Versus no Irradiation for Women With Early Breast Cancer
All early breast cancer patients are offered adjuvant breast radiation therapy (RT) after breast conserving surgery for an early breast cancer. Breast cancer is heterogeneous, and selected patients have a very low gain from RT, whilst they still have risk of acute and late side effects from RT. This trial …
Niche In CEsarean Scar Trial (NICEST)
Rationale: Cesarean delivery (CD) rates are increasing rapidly worldwide. The consequences of cesarean section not only affect the next pregnancies such as uterine rupture or malplacentation but also cause many gynecological complications or infertility due to the formation of cesarean scar defect (CSD) or Niche. One of the major factors …
RCT of Implantable Defibrillators in Patients With Non Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, Scar and Severe Systolic Heart Failure
BRITISH is a UK multicentre trial of patients who have been diagnosed with heart failure due to Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (NICM, or heart failure that is not caused by blocked heart arteries. Participants will be randomised into two groups. Half the participants will receive an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) and the other …
Study to Learn About the Safety of Fazirsiran and if it Can Help People With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Liver Disease With Mild Liver Scarring (Fibrosis)
The liver produces a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT). AAT is normally released into the bloodstream. In some people, the liver makes an abnormal version of the AAT protein, called Z-AAT. Making an abnormal version of the AAT protein can result in liver disease as Z-AAT builds up in liver …
Study to Check the Safety of Fazirsiran and Learn if Fazirsiran Can Help People With Liver Disease and Scarring (Fibrosis) Due to an Abnormal Version of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Protein
The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other …
Use of Botulinum Toxin A in Direct Eyebrow Lift Scar
Prospective, controlled and randomized study in which participants indicated for surgery to direct eyebrow lift will be randomized into two groups. In addition to surgery, the patients will be treated with botulinum toxin in one eyebrow and saline (placebo) in the other site. The patients participate as treatment and placebo …
Aesthetic Outcome of Tie-over Bolster Application in Surgical Wounds
When patients have surgery on the head and face, stitches are the standard way to close the wound. Wounds always result in a scar, but doctors are always looking for ways to reduce scarring. Several studies have been done to test ways to close wounds that reduce scarring. One idea …
Pinch Grafting Versus Second Intention Wound Healing for Mohs Micrographic Surgery Defects on the Scalp
Oftentimes, following surgery on the scalp, wounds are left to heal by themselves. This is called "second intention." Open wounds left to heal on the scalp often take 8 weeks or more to completely heal. The investigators are investigating how second intention closure compares to another established reconstruction technique, called …
Outcomes of Running Locking Suture vs Standard Running Suture in Surgical Wounds
When patients have surgery on the head and face, stitches are the standard way to close the wound. Wounds always result in a scar, but doctors are always looking for ways to reduce scarring. Several studies have been done to test ways to close wounds that reduce scarring. The most …
Aesthetic Outcome of Intra-dermal Versus Transcutaneous Purse-string Closure
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intra-dermal versus transcutaneous purse-string closures have similar scar cosmesis and post-operative complications. The investigators will use a split wound model, where half of the wound will be closed with intra-dermal purse-string sutures and the other half will be closed with a …
