Impact of Varying Doses of Prucalopride on Improving Gut Function Recovery After Elective Colorectal Surgery
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and delayed passage of flatus and stool. Management remains challenging, with limited pharmacological options available. Prucalopride, a selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist, has shown promise in accelerating gastrointestinal recovery after surgery. However, the …
A Comparison of Renal vs Limb NIRS for Predicting Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of cardiac surgery that can affect outcome. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that uses light to determine how well oxygenated tissues are. This technology is routinely used in cardiac surgery to measure the oxygen level in the brain by placing a …
Fiberoptic Intubation in Lateral Versus Supine Position in Pediatrics Undergoing Non-head-and-neck Surgery
Fiberoptic intubation was first described in the late 1960s and has since become an effective and well-established technique for airway management in awake, sedated, and anesthetized patients. This technique is especially useful in patients with known or suspected difficult airways such as those with limited mouth opening, reduced neck mobility, …
Adjuvant Tranexamic Acid (TXA) Versus Surgery Alone for Adult Patients With Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH)
This study is an open label randomized controlled trial. Patients with a symptomatic Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) confirmed on radiological imaging, planned for surgery, age over 18, free from other intracranial pathologies and no previous intracranial surgery, will be recruited at time of admission. Patients eligible for inclusion will be …
Perineural vs Intravenous Dexamethasone as an Adjuvant to Brachial Plexus Block in Pediatric Hand Surgery
This clinical trial will evaluate the neurological safety and analgesic effectiveness of dexamethasone administered perineurally or intravenously as an adjuvant to brachial plexus block in children undergoing hand or forearm surgery. Dexamethasone is commonly used to prolong the duration of regional anesthesia, but there is limited evidence on long-term neurological …
A Study of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) in People With Brain Cancer Having Tumor Resection Surgery
The researchers are doing this study to see if treating people's brain tumors with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) before tumor resection surgery will prevent cancer cells from spreading to other areas of the brain, including the fluid and lining around the brain, during surgery, and lead to better surgical outcomes and …
A Randomised Trial of Cabazitaxel, Docetaxel, Mitoxantrone or Satraplatin (CDMS) Plus Surgery for Prostate Cancer Patients
Current agents administered in therapeutic regimens of prostate cancer employ different mechanisms to eliminate neoplastic cells by inducing substantial apoptosis and causing tumor regression. Treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical prostatectomy may better control the tumor before it has the chance to convert into the disease of castration-resistant prostate cancer …
Optimizing Patient Selection for Surgery Using Pathologic Analysis Following Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
This interventional, non-randomized, prospective trial aims to evaluate the role of endoscopic resection following neoadjuvant treatment in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Phase I focuses on assessing the feasibility, safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection of residual scar or superficial residual neoplastic tissue following neoadjuvant treatment. Phase II explores …
Prognostic Value of High-resolution Electrical Source Imaging on the Success of Pediatric Focal Epilepsy Surgery
This study investigates the usefulness of high resolution electrical source imaging (HR-ESI) in the setting of presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant focal epilepsy in children. This method is based on an estimation of the intra-cerebral source that produces a signal recorded by scalp electrodes by solving the inverse problem, taking into …
VoiceS: Voice Quality After Transoral CO2-Laser Surgery Versus Single Vocal Cord Irradiation for Larynx Cancer
Laser surgery and radiotherapy are well-established standards of care for unilateral stage 0 \& I carcinoma in situ (Cais) and squamous cell carcinoma of glottic larynx (SCCGL). Based on meta-analyses, functional and oncological outcome after both treatment modalities are comparable1-5. However, no properly conducted randomized trials comparing these treatments exist. …
