Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Lymph Node-positive Adenocarcinoma of the OESophagus and Oesophagogastric Junction
Both neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CROSS) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FLOT) have demonstrated overall survival benefit over surgery alone in esophageal and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer. Despite these survival gains, the prognosis remains poor, especially in patients with nodal-positive adenocarcinoma (cN+ AC) (5-year survival 36%, compared to 55% for cN0). This highlights the …
A Multicenter Prospective Study Evaluating Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Following Induction Immunochemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer Based on Dynamic ctDNA Monitoring
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) continues to exhibit high incidence and mortality rates in China, with the majority of patients diagnosed at middle to advanced stages. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced ESCC. The 5-year survival rate for advanced esophageal cancer remains below 20%. Immunotherapy …
Balloon Inflation Time for Esophageal Strictures (BITES): A Randomized Multi-Center Study
Esophageal atresia (EA) is one of the most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies that affects 1 in 2500 to 1 in 4000 live births. It is characterized by abnormal development of the esophagus, which requires surgical intervention to be compatible with life. Surgical repair of EA is associated with risk of …
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
Fecal Calprotectin for Prediction of Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to evaluate the accuracy of fecal calprotectin versus non-invasive scores in assessing the presence and grading of esophageal varices in Egyptian patients. Researchers will compare fecal calprotectin levels in cirrhotic patients with and without esophageal varices (EVs) and healthy subjects. researchers will …
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 …
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 …
Oral and Swallowing Function in Older Adults
The purpose of this study is to learn about oral and swallowing function in older adults presenting to the emergency department. The hypothesis is that older adults often have problems with oral and swallowing function and these problems relate to other conditions. Study activities are done during the emergency department …
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
Onabotulinum Toxin A (Botox) in the Treatment of Pharyngo-esophageal Dysphagia
Dysphagia in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism or dystonia can occur due to relative hypertonia of the cricopharyngeus muscle. In the resting state, muscle is contracted and relaxes only during deglutition. Treatment of dysphagia by injecting botulinum toxin in the cricopharyngeus was described by Schneider et al. in 1994. …
