PFDD Versus PFDRT in Chiari Decompression Surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty with or without tonsil manipulation results in better patient outcomes with fewer complications and improved quality of life in those who have Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.
Intermittent Fasting Versus Carbohydrate Drinks Before Surgery
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intermittent fasting before surgery improves insulin resistance around the time of surgery, compared to carbohydrate drinks and standard fasting before surgery.
Urinary Catheter Self-Discontinuation After Urogynecology Surgery
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home.
Angiopoietin and Adverse Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass can lead to systemic organ failure trough excess inflammation and endothelial injury. The angiopoietin family represented by angiopoietin 1 and 2 can reflect endothelial injury by a decrease in angiopoietin 1 and an increase in angiopoietin 2. The investigators hypothesized that angiopoietin dysregulation could reflect …
Predicting Cerebrovascular Adverse Events Post Cardiac Surgery
The aims of this study are: i) to assess cerebral autoregulation and autonomic control within the different phases of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; ii) to compare cerebral autoregulation measures derived via cerebral blood flow velocity estimated by transcranial Doppler device with simpler measurements derived from near infrared spectroscopy; iii) …
Early RRT in AKI After Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the major complications after cardiac surgery that may affects 20% to 40% of patients according to the definitions. Also, AKI after cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity and mortality, with eight-fold increase in the odds ratio of death when renal replacement therapy …
Surgery or Chemoradiotherapy for Cervical Esophageal Cancer
To compare surgery with definitive chemoradiotherapy for patients with resectable cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Preoperative Smoking Cessation in Patients Undergoing Surgery
Background: At present, effectively implementing smoking cessation programs in the health care system constitutes a major challenge. A unique opportunity to initiate smoking cessation focuses on smokers scheduled for surgery. These patients are not only highly motivated to quit smoking but also likely to benefit from a reduction in postoperative …
Hyperinflation Respiratory Therapies in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to evaluate three different types of hyperinflation respiratory therapies, Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB), Intermittent positive end expiratory pressure (EzPAP), Metaneb. Investigators will examine which hyperinflation therapy provides better lung expansion and may improve lung recovery after surgery.
Acupuncture and Integrative Care in Gynecological Surgery
Patients undergoing surgical procedures for gynecological cancer are frequently challenged by intense anxiety prior to surgery, reflecting the accompanying uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of their illness.The purpose of the proposed study is to explore the impact of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) treatments (including acupuncture) on anxiety, …
