Assess the sensitivity of real-time near-infrared fluorescence imaging to detect microscopic residual disease in the operating room after a complete macroscopic surgical resection of head and neck cancers
Participants who have a surgical procedure called Posterior Cervical (neck) Spine Surgery will normally need pain medication to relieve post operative pain. This usually includes opioid medications. In this study, the consented participant may receive a nerve block procedure, in addition to the pain relieving medication. There is a fifty-fifty …
Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS)/Aortic Aneurysm is a common feature of aortic wall events, including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, aortic ulceration and aortic trauma, and occurs in up to 35 cases per 100,000 cases per year between the ages of 65 and 75 years. Increased levels of the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity …
When a patient is diagnosed with a rectal (bowel) polyp or cancer, radiology doctors read MRI scans to describe how deeply the cancer invades into the bowel wall (this is the 'stage' of the cancer). In this project, we will teach radiologists to find more early-stage rectal cancers. These are …
The investigators aim to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the classical erector spinae plane block and the modified erector spinae plane block in the management of postoperative analgesia after lumbar disc surgery.
Adult patients aged 18-80 years old, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III, who were scheduled for elective colorectal cancer surgery under general anesthesia were recruited for this study. They were randomized to receive opioid-free anesthesia (OFA), opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) and opioid-based anesthesia (OA) group. Blood samples were collected pre-surgery …
To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and implementation strategies for mPATH-Lung, investigators propose a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial across an academic Learning Health System. The trial will contrast several approaches to participant outreach and will specifically target engaging fully powered cohorts of racial/ethnic minorities and rural residents.
This early phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of dapagliflozin given prior to surgery in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Dapagliflozin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of diabetes and heart failure. It is an SGLT2 inhibitor. Stage I lung …
The FINDISC trial studies whether common back operation, microdiscectomy, is effective and safe for treating sciatica caused by a lumbar disc herniation. The study includes people whose leg pain has not improved after at least six weeks of non-surgical treatment. The FINDISC trial aims to recruit and randomly allocate 122 …
This phase II trial tests the addition of chemotherapy, with carboplatin and paclitaxel, or chemo-immunotherapy, with carboplatin, paclitaxel and cemiplimab to standard salvage surgery followed by post operative radiation therapy and cisplatin for high risk patients, for the treatment of patients with PD-L1 positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma …
