Mini-dose Dexmedetomidine-Esketamine Supplemented Analgesia in Patients at High-risk of OSA
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of developing sleep disturbances after surgery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esketamine is the S-enantiomer of racemic ketamine and twice as potent as racemic …
Perioperative Intravenous Nimodipine Trial
The role of perioperative IV administration of nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel antagonist which is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, on peri-operative opioid and anesthetics requirements, pain intensity, opioid-related side effects and early postoperative bowel mobility in patients undergoing surgical treatment for bowel cancer with open radical colectomy remains …
Mechanistic and Clinical Outcomes of a Surgical Innovation Aimed at Minimizing GERD Associated With VSG (INNOVATE-VSG)
This is a two-site randomized clinical trial aiming to test whether a modified investigational bariatric surgical procedure can improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.
Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Obesity is a growing epidemic throughout the world and is followed by increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes that accounts for 90-95% of all cases of diabetes. Weight loss is a major objective, although difficult to achieve with medical treatments. Many recent studies demonstrated that bariatric surgery has the potency …
Targeted Resection of Axillary Metastatic Lymph Nodes After Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This study is a multi-center, prospective, self-controlled study, to evaluate the feasibility of targeted axillary lymph node resection (TAD) guided by tissue marker clip with methylene blue single tracer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in T1-4N1M0 breast cancer patients. Evaluate the accuracy and false negative rate of TAD, comparing with sentinel lymph …
Opioid Dispenser for Microdiscectomy/Laminectomy
The opioid crisis continues to plague the United States. While great strides have been made nationwide to decrease overprescribing, improvements are still needed to appropriately educate patients on the safe and responsible use, storage and disposal of opioids. Pain after surgery is often treated with opioid medications. Opioid medications can …
Improving Mobility After Revascularization in Peripheral Artery Disease
Lower extremity revascularization combined with supervised exercise significantly improves walking performance compared to revascularization alone in people who have PAD without limb threatening ischemia. However, supervised exercise is inaccessible or burdensome for most PAD patients. Investigators hypothesize that home-based exercise combined with lower extremity revascularization will significantly improve walking performance …
SiFi vs FNB Local Anesthesia for Hip Fracture Surgeries
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two commonly used local/regional anesthesia techniques in adults patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • the impact of both interventions on patient level of pain. • impact on postoperative analgesics administered Participants will be …
Stereotactic Radiosurgery vs Whole Brain Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer With Brain Oligometastasis
This trial aims to assess the impact of SRS on overall survival, PFS, radiation toxicity and quality of life as compared to WBRT in oligometastatic brain disease in breast cancer patients. Total 98 patients with breast cancer with brain oligo-metastases will be included. The WBRT dosage schedule will be 30 …
An Exploratory Study of Arginine Supplementation and the Postoperative Immune REsponse
ASPIRE is a nutrition study focusing on the effect of arginine supplementation on immune function in postoperative infants. The investigators will explore the effect of current intravenous feeding (parenteral nutrition (PN)) formulations and oral arginine supplementation on blood arginine levels and the genes that are involved in body nutrition and …
