Carvedilol Versus Endoscopic Band Ligation for Primary Prophylaxis of Oesophageal Variceal Bleeding
Carvedilol versus endoscopic band ligation for primary prophylaxis of oesophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients with arterial hypertension
Cross-section Band Ligation Versus Stepladder Band Ligation of Esophageal Varices
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the cross-section band ligation technique versus the stepladder band ligation technique in esophageal varices prophylaxis. Researchers will compare cross-section and step ladder band ligation techniques for esophageal varices prophylaxis regarding efficacy, side effects, variceal recurrence, and survival. Participants will undergo …
Utilization of Negative Pressure Suction to Reduce Aspiration in Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
This is an investigator initiated prospective study to determine whether the use of a negative pressure suction in the hypopharynx will reduce the amount of aspiration during Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Exam (VFSE) among patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Investigation of a Free Water Protocol
Hypothesis: Use of a Free Water Protocol (FWP) will improve patient satisfaction scores (Dysphagia Handicap Index), will not increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis, and will result in improved oral hygiene (as assessed by the Oral Assessment Guide). Aim: To demonstrate that improvement in patient satisfaction and quality of life …
Nursing Care Bundle on Oral Intake Among Critically Ill Children With Post-Extubation Dysphagia
the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Nursing care Bundle on Oral Intake among Critically Ill Children with Post-Extubation Dysphagia
PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Plus Surgery for Locally Advanced ESCC (NEOCRTEC2101)
The primary objective is to compare PD-1 inhibitor combined with preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery versus neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, in terms of the overall survival time (OS) in patients with Stage T1-4aN1-3M0 or T3-4aN0M0 squamous cell esophageal carcinoma.
PULSO Trial: Pulsed Low-Dose-Rate (PLDR) Radiation Chemoradiation (CRT) vs. Standard CRT for Esophageal Cancer
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, two-arm phase 2 trial that will evaluate whether the use of Pulsed Low-Dose-Rate radiation technique, as compared to standard radiation, is associated with reduced rates of clinically significant esophagitis during and following chemoradiation.
Nonendoscopic Screening for Barrett's Esophagus in Veterans Without Chronic Reflux
The veteran population is at increased risk for EAC and its precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus (BE), due to increased prevalence of disease risk factors compared to the general population. BE is traditionally diagnosed only when patients undergo endoscopy with biopsies. However, due to the high cost of endoscopy and the …
Deep-sea Fish Oil for Prevention of Acute Radiation-induced Esophagitis
Purpose：To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep-sea fish oil in preventing acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARIE). Methods and Materials：A total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment or control group. In the treatment group, 1g deep-sea fish oil was …
Nutritional Support During Induction Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
Patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer have difficulty eating, as the food pipe becomes obstructed by the cancer. This may impair the ability for the patient to receive appropriate calorie intake, especially during administration of chemotherapy and radiation therapy given prior to surgical resection. A strategy is to place a feeding …
