Spatial Scene Recognition Memory in Epilepsy Surgery
This study investigates the anatomical and physiological basis of spatial scene recognition memory in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and temporal lobe lesions. Standard neuropsychological tests are insensitive to important memory deficits experienced by patients, particularly in spatial/scene memory, recollective experience, and familiarity processing. Using a validated virtual tour paradigm, …
High-Risk prostatE Cancer radiatiOn Versus surgERy
Prospective cohort study comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and external beam radiotherapy +/- androgen deprivation therapy for high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer in terms of health-related quality of life, functional outcomes, cost-effectiveness, progression-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival.
Pre- Vs. Postoperative Thromboprophylaxis in Pancreatic Surgery
Thromboprophylaxis for pancreatic surgery can be commenced either preoperatively or postoperatively. Despite a clear trade-off between thrombosis and bleeding in pancreatic surgery patients, there is no international consensus when thrombosis prophylaxis should be commenced in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. There are no prospective randomized trials in this field, and current …
Intravenous Acetaminophen After Cardiac Surgery - Definitive Study
Double blind, double dummy trial of the use of IV acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that better pain control and less use of narcotics will lead to a lower incidence of delirium from day 1 to 7 following cardiac …
Sore Throat After Open Neck Elective Surgery
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two medications-hydrocortisone ointment and lidocaine solution-applied to the endotracheal tube in reducing postoperative throat pain, hoarseness, and cough following thyroid or parathyroid surgery with neuromonitoring. A total of 764 adult patients undergoing elective neck surgery at Saint-Petersburg State University Hospital …
EMUs: Enhanced Monitoring Using Sensors After Surgery
Patients can become critically unwell following surgical operations. Delay in recognition of this deterioration can result in patient harm and even death. Wearable wireless sensors that record patients vital signs such as heart rate could help improve recognition of patient deterioration. The goal of this observational study: Enhanced Monitoring Using …
Collecting Outcomes and Managing Pain After Surgery
The primary aim of this study is to measure pain and psychosocial patient reported outcomes, objective functionality, and actual daily at home opioid usage in orthopedic patients. The study's goal following the data collection is to predict which patients are at high risk for chronic opioid use.
Postoperative Delirium in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Establish a follow-up database for postoperative delirium in cardiac surgery patients, adopt a bidirectional cohort design to simultaneously analyze the associations between "preoperative exposure factors and postoperative delirium incidence" and "postoperative delirium and long-term adverse outcomes", and clarify the predictive factors and prognostic impacts of postoperative delirium.
Quality of Life After Breast Cancer Surgery
The goal of this observational study is to prospectively collect data on quality of life after oncoplastic breast surgery. Participants will be followed-up and answer quality of life questionnaire for a duration of 5 years after surgery.
Elderly Patients Undergoing Surgery During Perioperative Period
The elderly patients have poorer overall conditions and have lower tolerance to trauma, anesthesia, and surgery. Therefore, the incidence of postoperative complications is relatively higher. In non-cardiac surgeries, approximately 20% of elderly patients experience postoperative complications, and the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) is 23.8%. This may lead to prolonged …
