After orthopedic surgeries like knee or hip replacement, some patients struggle to fully activate their muscles due to a condition called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI). AMI can slow recovery and make physical therapy less effective. This clinical trial is testing whether a special type of brain training-called neurofeedback visualization training-can …
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common consequence of ambulatory surgery, affecting up to 80% of high-risk patients and 20-30% overall. Despite being widespread, a prior survey found that patients are more averse to PONV than pain and other significant postoperative problems. Furthermore, even mild cases of PONV can …
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition characterized by the narrowing of the space surrounding the neurovascular structures of the lumbar vertebrae, resulting from age-related changes in the intervertebral discs, ligamentum flavum, and facet joints. It commonly causes unilateral pain in the lower back, hips, and legs, often described as …
Perioperative bleeding requiring blood transfusion is common during cardiovascular surgery, especially in procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays a fundamental role in platelet function. Several studies have shown that some patients not receiving antiplatelet therapy undergoing cardiovascular surgery have decreased platelet ADP receptor activity; the prevalence of this …
Dentofacial deformities refer to morphological anomalies of the jaws. Their development during growth determines the shape of the lower third of the face and the type of dental occlusion. A maxillo-mandibular dysmorphosis associates morphological modification of the face and anomaly of the occlusion. If these anomalies are most often hereditary, …
Breast cancer is diagnosed by imaging at a non-palpable stage in more than half of all cases. Surgical removal requires preoperative guidance. Generally, preoperative guidance is performed using a metal guide under local anaesthetic and radiological control. This type of guidance has several limitations. For the patient, it can be …
Robotic surgical systems have become a promising surgical assistance system, with unique advantages such as 3D high-definition visual system, highly flexible wrist-jointed instruments, and automatic fitering of hand tremors. Robotic surgical systems is applied in various fields including urology, general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, head and neck surgery, and gynecology. Currently, …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using three dimensional (3D)-printed anatomical models improves the informed consent process for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. The trial also explores how these models affect participants understanding, anxiety, satisfaction, and communication with the surgeon. The main questions it aims to answer …
Cataract surgery in elderly patients with controlled hypertension carries a risk of hemodynamic instability, particularly fluctuations in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic agonist, offers hemodynamic stabilization and sedation when administered intranasally and provides a simple and non-invasive premedication option. This study evaluates the effects of intranasal …
Emergence delirium (ED) stands out as a prevalent postoperative complication among paediatric patients, correlating with extended hospitalization periods, escalated healthcare expenses, and increased incidence of postoperative maladaptive behaviours (POMBs). There is a lack of well-established pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions demonstrating efficacy in reducing the occurrence of ED. Therefore, our objective …
