Effectiveness of Methods for Pyloric Drainage in esophagecTomY: Botox vs. Pyloromyotomy
The goal of this pragmatic, registry-based, randomized clinical trial is to find out if using botulinum toxin (Botox) to help drain the stomach during an esophagectomy works as well as a pyloromyotomy in patients undergoing elective esophagectomy for benign or malignant esophageal disease. Both methods are intended to prevent problems …
Perioperative Intravenous Nimodipine Trial
The role of perioperative IV administration of nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel antagonist which is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, on peri-operative opioid and anesthetics requirements, pain intensity, opioid-related side effects and early postoperative bowel mobility in patients undergoing surgical treatment for bowel cancer with open radical colectomy remains …
CV Imaging of Metabolic Interventions
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is becoming clearer that heart failure (HF) is closely associated with body's metabolism. Even before the heart becomes weaker, it responds to the stresses by changing the fuels it burns, which results in a reduction in the heart's metabolic efficiency …
The Poor Responders Study
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are major causes of illness and premature death worldwide and their incidence is increasing rapidly. Bariatric surgery is considered as the "gold-standard" surgical treatment for both conditions. However, not all patients do equally well after surgery and indeed the weight loss experienced by patients undergoing …
Laryngomalacia, Examinations and Quality of Life in Children Before and After Treatment With Follow-up After 1 Year
Laryngomalacia is the most frequent cause of stridor in children under 1 year. The airway obstruction generates turbulent airway flow and creates the characteristic high-frequency stridor sound. In addition, the airway obstruction can cause apnea, a following drop in oxygen saturation and sleep disturbances. The symptoms of laryngomalacia are often …
Mechanistic and Clinical Outcomes of a Surgical Innovation Aimed at Minimizing GERD Associated With VSG (INNOVATE-VSG)
This is a two-site randomized clinical trial aiming to test whether a modified investigational bariatric surgical procedure can improve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.
Assessing Declined Liver Grafts With Normothermic Machine Perfusion to Reduce Transplant Waiting Time
The goal of this study is to find out if quality assessment by normothermic machine perfusion can be used to safely increase the number of usable donor livers, helping more people get transplants faster and with better results. This process keeps a donated liver working outside the body before transplantation, …
Mini-dose Dexmedetomidine-Esketamine Supplemented Analgesia in Patients at High-risk of OSA
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of developing sleep disturbances after surgery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esketamine is the S-enantiomer of racemic ketamine and twice as potent as racemic …
Targeted Resection of Axillary Metastatic Lymph Nodes After Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This study evaluates the efficacy and feasibility of Carbon Nanoparticle Suspension Injection (CNSI) for Targeted Axillary Dissection (TAD) in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), compared to traditional clip-based methods. By leveraging CNSI's enhanced visibility and stability, the study aims to improve the precision of lymph node removal, reduce …
CRISAL Study:Cancer Risk In Secreting Adrenal Lesions
The aim of the present study is to report the cancer risk in secreting adrenal lesions. Secondary aims: to compare the incidence of cancer in secreting versus non-secreting adrenal lesions, in order to evaluate whether adrenal hormone activity can be considered an independent predictive indicator of malignancy; compare intraoperative and …
