Comparing High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen and Noninvasive Ventilation to Standard Oxygenation in Non-selected ICU Patients Admitted for Hypoxemic ARF
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether one of the two oxygenation or ventilation strategies (NIV and/or HFNO) is superior to standard oxygen to reduce 28-day mortality rate in hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients.
GOALIE: Intramuscular vs. Enteral Penicillin Prophylaxis to Prevent Progression of Latent RHD Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if twice daily oral penicillin prophylaxis is non-inferior to monthly IM penicillin prophylaxis in preventing latent Rheumatic Heart Disease Progression in children between the ages of 5-17 years. The main objective is to compare the proportion of children aged 5-17 years …
Effectiveness of a School-centered Prevention Program on Prevalence of Latent Rheumatic Heart Disease
The overall objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-centered primary and secondary prevention program on the prevalence of latent rheumatic heart disease among schoolchildren in Nepal, and to investigate the role of socioeconomic and environmental factors in the development and progression of rheumatic heart disease.
Echocardiographic Screening of Pregnant Women During Antenatal Care
Non-obstetrical drivers of adverse pregnancy outcomes are underappreciated. Latent structural heart disease may account for a substantial proportion of adverse pregnancy outcomes in low-resource settings. Pregnant women presenting to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences will be prospectively included into a registry upon their visit for antenatal care. Women will …
Effectiveness of Chronic Self-management Education on Behavioral and Clinical Outcomes
Study Design, Setting, and Period A one-group quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test will be implemented on a convenient sample design to examine the effectiveness of chronic disease self-management education in improving clinical outcomes and decreasing depression and anxiety among patients under medical follow-up at Jimma Medical Center cardiac …
Accelerating Delivery of rheUmatic Heart Disease Preventive iNterventions in Northern Uganda
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility, sustainability, and public health impact of a district-based program for secondary prevention of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in Uganda.
The Effect of Ramipril in Suppressing ST2 Expression in Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Patients
Objective propose: to investigate the effect of Ramipril in suppressing ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2) in the cardiac mitral valve in patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease. We hypothesized that we hypothesized that ramipril will improve rheumatic mitral valve fibrosis through the downregulation of ST2.
The Impact of a Seated Compact Elliptical Trainer on Individuals With Knee OA
Exercise is considered the most effective, non-drug treatment for reducing pain and improving movement in patients with osteoarthritis. Diminished muscle strength is a common symptom associated with the onset of knee osteoarthritis. The evidence supports the benefit of exercise therapy, in reducing pain and improving function in subjects with knee …
RSA-RCT: Attune S+ TKA Versus Sigma TKA
The PFC Sigma Knee by DePuy Synthes is an excellent knee replacement with an excellent clinical track record, good survival rates (98% 10 years survival in patients aged < 55 years) and minimal early migration as measured with RSA (0.5mm MTPM at two years follow-up). The Attune Knee by DePuy …
Modified HFNC Therapy for ARF Patients Undergoing Flexible Bronchoscopy
Acute respiratory failure (AFR) is a serious condition that requires prompt and appropriate intervention to prevent further deterioration and improve outcomes. Bronchoscopy is a commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in patients with respiratory failure. However, traditional low-flow oxygen supplementation during bronchoscopy may not provide adequate oxygenation and ventilation, leading …
