Melanoma Margins Trial-II: 1cm v 2cm Wide Surgical Excision Margins for AJCC Stage II Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the …
Single Dose of Antenatal Corticosteroids for Pregnancies at Risk of Preterm Delivery (SNACS)
Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) reduce the risks of neonatal death and morbidities in preterm infants, such as respiratory distress syndrome. The standard of care for pregnant people at risk of preterm birth includes 2 doses of Celestone (for a total of 24 mg in Canada, or 22.8 mg in Australia) to …
Albumin To Enhance Recovery After Acute Kidney Injury
Study objectives: To determine whether, in critically ill patients with Acute Kidney Injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT), randomization to receive intravenous hyperoncotic albumin 20-25% (100 mL X two doses) compared to control/placebo normal saline boluses (100 mL X two doses) given during RRT sessions, leads to: An increase in …
