Active clinical trials for "Calculi"

Adult patients with kidney stones undergoing surgical intervention with ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy will be randomized to receive one of two different regimens of oral medications administered prior to induction of general anesthesia. Postoperatively, patients will receive automated daily text messages to assess pain and opioid consumption and subsequently determine which which treatment regimen is superior.

To discuss necessity of cholecystectomy for patients with stones in their bile ducts and gallbladders in the absence of absolute operation indications of cholecystectomy after clearance of bile duct stones with ERCP.

Randomized control trial to compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrostomy with retrograde ureteric stenting for emergency renal decompression in cases of obstruction and sepsis associated with ureteric calculi.

The presence of plaque on tooth surfaces as a predictor of chlorhexidine side effects has not been evaluated especially because most studies utilized a previous disruption of biofilms in all dental surfaces before the beginning of rinsing. The purpose of this study is to compare staining and calculus formation after 0.12 percent chlorhexidine between previously plaque-free and plaque-covered surfaces by means of an experimental gingivitis model.

The purpose of this trial is to quantify the amount Celebrex, a specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, when used for the management of acute renal colic for a ureteral stone will: reduce pain medication usage improve the percentage of spontaneous stone passage decrease the time to spontaneous passage, and shift the size distribution of stones passed towards larger sizes

To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of chronic consumption of Quercetin 500 mg tablets on blood uric acid and other biomarkers in adult males.

The data of the randomized controlled experimental research were collected at Atatürk University Health Application and Research Hospital Urology Clinics between November 2021 and May 2022. The study sample consisted of 122 patients (61 in the training group, 61 in the control group) who were selected by the simple random sampling method and met the research inclusion criteria.

Numerous studies demonstrate that patients have improved immediate recovery characteristics following desflurane anesthesia compared to other volatile agents, including sevoflurane. There is limited evidence in the literature to suggest that patients undergoing sevoflurane, compared to desflurane anesthesia, may suffer from limitation in function and cognitive ability for an undetermined, but prolonged period of time following surgery. These differences are not explained pharmacokinetically and may be a result of a direct neurotoxic effect of sevoflurane. An unresolved question is the time required for the ability to return to complex tasks, such as driving, following anesthesia. Commonly, patients are advised not to drive or make important decisions for 24 hours following anesthesia, but this is not well-studied and proscribed on an empiric, rather than scientific, basis with very limited data available.This study will better define recovery characteristics and characterize the severity and duration of cognitive impairment following sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia after brief outpatient urologic surgery in elderly females using tests of cognitive ability coupled with performance on a driving simulator and cognitive task tests to objectively measure not only testing performance, but also cognitive effort in performing these tests.

The main aim of the study is to investigate and compare the possible acute effect of standard PCNL, mini-PCNL and RIRS on renal function. Secondary aims are to investigate the efficacy (stone-free rate), safety (complication rate, long-term kidney function) and other parameters (operation, fluoroscopy and hospitalization time) concerning the 3 endourological operations (PCNL, mini- PCNL, RIRS) for the treatment of renal calculi.
