Post-Cardiac Surgery Acute Kidney Injury Prevention by Administration of Proton Pump Inhibitor (P2 Trial)
The central hypothesis of this research study is that perioperative administration of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) pantoprazole could reduce the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery by activation molecular pathways for kidney protection. The investigators propose a single-center, randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial to determine whether perioperative …
Ferric Derisomaltose and Outcomes in the Recovery of Gynecologic Oncology: ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery)
Iron deficiency has been reported in approximately 35% of patients with a gynecologic malignancy. Blood transfusions are known to be immunosuppressive and carry immediate and long-term risks. Pre-operative blood transfusion in gynecologic oncology patients is associated with higher rates of surgical site infection, length of stay, composite morbidity, cancer recurrence, …
A Comparison Between Palonosetron Versus Granisetron as PONV Prophylaxis in Scoliotic Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two Serotonin (5- HT3) receptor antagonist, palonosetron and granisetron, administered along with dexamethasone as a preventive measure against early and delayed postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in adult and adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) undergoing posterior spinal …
Pre-Operative Guided Meditation to Reduce Pre-Operative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Cancer-Directed Surgery
This clinical trial tests how well guided meditation, compared to silence, works to reduce pre-operative anxiety in patients undergoing cancer-directed surgery. Pre-operative anxiety affects patient experience and has been found to be a predictor of severe post-operative pain and chronic pain after surgery, influencing the success and quality of a …
Effects of Growth Hormone Therapy on Metabolic Function in Fatty Liver Post-Pituitary Adenoma Surgery
Growth Hormone (GH) is essential for maintaining fat, muscle, bone, and energy balance. Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) affects about 0.3% of adults. GHD, common post-pituitary tumor surgery or radiotherapy, disrupts lipid metabolism, increasing triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while decreasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This is especially severe in GH …
Randomised Study Evaluating the Interest of Psychological Support of Patients Waiting for Hallux Valgus Surgery
Catastrophizing is a negative evaluation of events. What surgery concerns, pain catastrophizing is one of the main risks of postoperative pain and / or poor functional recovery. The best survey to evaluate pain catastrophizing is the PCS (Pain Catastrophizing Scale). According to the authors, catastrophizers report more negative pain related …
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 …
A Study of Radiation Therapy After Surgery in People With Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study will test whether limiting standard photon intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to exclude the oral tongue surgical site can decrease the risk of side effects caused by oral radiation. The researchers will also find out if this approach affects the rate of disease coming back after treatment (recurrence), …
Effectiveness of Dual Light Electric Toothbrush vs. Manual Toothbrush in Orthodontic Patients Undergoing Oral Surgery
The study is a randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a dual light ultrasonic toothbrush on periodontal health in orthodontic patients undergoing surgery. Patients with cleft lip and palate undergo bone graft and orthognathic surgery. The study will compare the periodontal outcomes in patients who use these toothbrushes …
Separation Surgery Followed by Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) Versus SABR Alone for Spinal Metastases
This is a non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) compared to separation surgery followed by SABR in ambulatory patients with malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC). The primary objective of the project is investigating the effect of SABR compared to separation surgery …
