EUS Guided Portal-systemic Pressure Gradient Measurement to Predict Treatment Response and Outcomes of Varices to Endoscopic Variceal Ligation in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis.
The aim of the current study is to assess if EUS-PPGM could predict the treatment response and outcomes of varices to endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in patients with chronic hepatitis. The hypothesis is that a high EUS-PPGM value at 3 months correlates with the presence of varices requiring EVL in …
Minimum Effective Local Anesthetic Volume for Ultrasound Guided Superior Trunk Block
The objective of this study is to identify the minimum effective dosage of a commonly used local anaesthetic drug "levobupivacaine" required to produce an effective ultrasound guided (USG) superior trunk block (STB) in at least 90% of patients for shoulder arthroscopic surgeries.
Prospective RCT Lidocaine & Levobupivacaine on Block Dynamics After Subparaneural Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block
Sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa is indicated for foot or ankle surgery, and the introduction of ultrasound guidance (USG) has improved the ease and accuracy of the performance of this block. Recent studies proved that subparaneural injection is associated with faster block onset, higher block success rate, and …
Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Subsequent Auto-Transplantation for Female Cancer Patients
Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation will be provided to cancer patients to allow them to have their fertility preserved.
Study of Product of Conception Derived From Ultrasound-guided Manual Vacuum Aspiration
Early pregnancy loss is very common, approximately one in four women will experience a miscarriage in their lifetime. The etiology of pregnancy loss remains largely unknown, although genetic, anatomical, endocrinological and immunological abnormalities have been implicated. It is known that embryonic/fetal chromosomal aberrations contributed to approximately 50% of early pregnancy …
Single Cell Sequencing of Tonsillar Tissue in Children With OSA
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children is a prevalent sleep disorder, and is characterised by repetitive complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. It is an important disease as it is associated with a large spectrum of end-organ morbidities. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the commonest cause of OSA in children, …
Advanced Translational Research on Childhood Leukemia
Prognosis of children with leukemia, the most common pediatric cancer, has improved markedly. Yet, relapse still occurs in 15-40% of patients with a probability of survival of \<50%, which is unlikely to be boosted by intensification of standard chemotherapy due to overwhelming toxicity. The advent of effective and safe targeted …
Prospective Study on Clinical Outcomes of Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax can be fatal if treatment is delayed or the pneumothorax is refractory. However, the mortality rates and their risk factors were mainly reported from retrospective studies, and local data regarding the mortality of spontaneous pneumothorax is scarce. This study aims at evaluating the in-hospital mortality and relevant clinical outcomes …
DIC Markers and Thrombin Generation Parameters in Patients on ECMO Support: a Pilot Study
To study the correlation between novel DIC markers and thrombin generation parameters with thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications of patients on ECMO support.
Effect of JAK Inhibitor on Erosion Healing in RA
Objective To investigate the effect of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition by baricitinib on erosion healing in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with active disease using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computer tomography(HR-pQCT). Hypothesis JAK inhibitor can lead to healing of existing erosion in RA patients with active disease. Design and subjects This is …
