An Extension Test of Whether to Use Oral Anti-anxiety Drugs (XANAX) When Patients Choose Second Eye Cataract Surgery After Unblinding, and Analyze Their Anxiety, Satisfaction and Pain Satisfaction
Phacoemulsification is one of the most used surgical methods for cataract surgery today, and the surgeries are under the anesthetic and sedative to make it comfortable and safe for patients. The most important issue is which method is the best for reducing the patient's anxiety, pain, and discomfort during surgery. …
Testing a Standardized Approach to Surgery and Chemotherapy for Type I Pleuropulmonary Blastoma or the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Topotecan, to the Usual Treatment for Types II and III Pleuropulmonary Blastoma
This phase III trial tests how well surgery plus chemotherapy compared to surgery alone works in treating patients with type I pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), and tests how well surgery plus standard chemotherapy with the addition of topotecan works compared to surgery plus standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with type …
Linezolid or Vancomycin Surgical Site Infection Prophylaxis
Anesthesia and surgical guidelines recommend the administration of a surgical antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing "clean" surgery. The prescribed antibiotic should target the bacteria most commonly found in surgical site infections (SSIs) and the duration of administration should not exceed 24 hours to minimize the ecological risk of bacterial resistance …
Multifunctional Cataract Surgery Assistive Instruments Used in Cataract Surgery
In order to better cope with complex situations of cataract surgery, we designed and improved a new set of multi-functional cataract surgery auxiliary devices, including ophthalmic surgery auxiliary hooks, eye retractor hooks and membranous cataract scissors. Their common feature is that they have the function of 2-3 traditional surgical instruments, …
Surgery for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Patients with glioblastoma face a grim prognosis. Despite recent advancement in neurosurgical technology and neuro-oncology glioblastomas almost invariably progress or recur after a median of 4-8 months. The strategy to repeat tumor resection at recurrence in order to minimize tumor load and thus to facilitate subsequent second-line therapy has been …
Pericardiotomy in Cardiac Surgery
PRINCE is an international, multicentre, randomized controlled trial of posterior pericardiotomy in patients without a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter undergoing cardiac surgery.
Dutch Intracerebral Hemorrhage Surgery Trial
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 16-19% of all strokes in Western Europe and contributes profoundly to mortality and disability. Thirty-day case fatality is 40% and of those surviving, only few gain independence. Except for stroke unit care and possibly early blood pressure lowering, there is currently no treatment of …
The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial
The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial evaluates patient-reported disability at 30 days after surgery following participating in a home-based multimodal prehabilitation program supported through an online platform. Half of the participants will be randomized into the prehabilitation group, while the other half will be randomized into the control group.
Landiolol in Mitral Valve Surgery
Chronic mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular abnormality worldwide, it occurs in 10% of the general population and its prevalence increases with age. When left untreated, it can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and cause disabling symptoms (e.g., fatigue and dyspnea), life-threatening complications (e.g., ventricular dilation, congestive heart failure) …
Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Planned Surgery or by Surveillance and Surgery Only When Needed for Oesophageal Cancer
NEEDS is a pragmatic open-label, randomised, controlled, phase III, multicenter trial with non-inferiority design with regard to the first co-primary endpoint overall survival and superiority for the experimental intervention definitive chemoradiotherapy. A second co-primary endpoint is global health related quality of life (HRQOL) one year after randomisation. A third co-primary …
