Should Anaesthesiologists Be Taught to Perform Ultrasound-- Assisted Neuraxial Access in Spinal Anaesthesia?
Neuraxial blockade is commonly performed using a manual palpation technique, but the procedure can be challenging, particularly in patients with high body mass index, pregnancy, or spinal deformities. Preprocedural ultrasound may improve identification of the optimal injection site, yet its use in clinical practice remains limited, partly due to a …
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) and Bipolar Electrocautery (BE) During Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of existing neurosurgical techniques of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and the replacement of monopolar electrocautery with bipolar electrocautery (BE), during ALND, will improve the early identification of nerves that have been implicated in the cause of neuropathically-mediated post-surgical pain syndrome …
Virtual Reality (VR) Could Be a Good Alternative to Relaxing or Pain-relieving Medication
We want to investigate whether Virtual Reality (VR) could be a good alternative to the relaxing or pain-relieving medications that are often used to alleviate anxiety when patients undergo surgery under local anesthesia.
Can Imaging be an Alternative to Exercise Testing as a Predictor of Surgical Fitness?
This study aims to explore an alternative method for assessing a participant's readiness for surgery, specifically for those undergoing surgery for gastric, oesophageal, or pancreatic cancer. Surgery for these diseases is extremely demanding on the body and surgeons need to be confident that a patient can tolerate the procedure. Traditionally, …
Real-Time Imaging to Improve Lung Cancer Diagnosis : Comparing Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) With Standard Biopsy for Quicker and Safer Detection of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) can improve the real-time diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients undergoing bronchoscopic biopsy for suspected lung tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a high-specificity CLE-based score accurately identify NSCLC …
Don't be Late! Postponing Cognitive Decline and Preventing Early Unemployment in People With Multiple Sclerosis
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of two innovative interventions aimed at preventing cognitive decline and work-related problems to enhanced usual care in improving quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis. Secondary objectives are: to compare the effectiveness of the investigated interventions in …
Effect of Using a Reminder to Encourage Patients to be Active During Their Hospital Stay.
Around 30% of patients aged 65 and over experience functional decline due to hospitalization. Physical inactivity, often without medical justification, is common during hospital stays.This immobility leads to loss of autonomy, muscle strength, and increases post-discharge risks. Slow walking for 25-40 minutes daily significantly improves functional capacity. However, it could …
What To-be-discard Biomaterials From ART Cycles Can Tell us About the Treatment Cycle Outcome?
Various to-be-discard material from IVF treatment cycle will be collect and examined, aiming to identify potential reasons of successful outcome or cycle failure.
Parents of Children With Constipation Will be Asked About Their Views on Their Children's Physical Activity.
Children with functional constipation are a large patient group that not only needs to seek care at primary healthcare centers and pediatric clinics, but many of the visits received at the emergency department are related to symptoms of constipation. The personal suffering, physically and psychologically, affects not only the child …
OSA-18 in Children With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Can it be a Helpful Decision Making Tool?
The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep …
