Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy will be randomized into 2 groups. In one group, a staple line inversion with a running suture of Polypropylene will be performed. In the second group, the gastric section will be performed with a stapler with preloaded buttress material Postoperative nausea and vomits during the first 24 hours will be investigated.

Pediatric research in the management of nausea has been limited by the absence of a reliable method to quantify the intensity of this subjective symptom. In adults, the visual analog scale (VAS) is an accurate tool, but this has not been shown to be reliable in young children. By default the most common objective outcome measure used in pediatric studies has been the incidence and number of emetic episodes. This measure, however, correlates poorly with the somatic subjective symptom of nausea.

This study investigates whether the implementation of a symptom diary for reporting and communicating chemotherapy-related symptoms improves symptom care and decreases symptom burden in adult patients treated with chemotherapy. The hypothesis is studied using a before-and-after design. First, symptom care and symptom burden will be observed in a sample of patients not being offered a symptom diary. Next, the symptom diary will be implemented at the participating hospital and symptom care and symptom burden will now be observed in a new sample of chemotherapy patients.

Delayed emesis following administration of carboplatin-based chemotherapy despite prophylaxis with standard antiemetic prophylaxis (5-HT3 and corticosteroid) remains a clinically significant and distressing problem for patients with cancer. The incidence of delayed emesis appears to be higher in women compared to men.

Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting are common adverse events related to oncologic treatments. It can have deleterious effect on patients' quality of life and could lead to dose reductions and/or discontinuation of treatment. This study aims to quantify the prevalence of nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients who had adequate antiemetic prophylaxis, also to describe the epidemiologic profile and identify predisposing factors.

Patients with BMI >35 and chronic diseases or BMI >40 will be scheduled to receive Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). Two groups are planned according to receive Enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol or not. All participants will receive standard LSG. Participants of ERAS will receive anesthesia and post-surgical nutrition protocol which are determined for ERAS. All patients will be checked for status of pain with VAS score, nausea and vomiting with PONV score at postoperative 2nd hour, 12th hour. In ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started between postoperative 2nd and 4th hours. In no ERAS group liquid oral intake will be started in the morning of postoperative first day. The patients who provides discharge criterias will be discahrged. these criterias are; To provide adequate pain relief with paracetamol and nonsteroidal painkillers, No wound problem, No complications after surgery, Pulse rate <90 beats / min, temperature ≤ 37 · 5 ° C, respiratory rate, <20 breaths / minute, To be able to mobilize easily, To be able to drink 1 liter of water after surgery. Emergency admissions of the participants within a month after surgery will be recorded.

RATIONALE: Polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) may be an effective single therapy approach for the management of chemoradiation mucositis, treating and preventing its occurrence in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. PURPOSE: This observational multi-phase trial is studying how well polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) works to prevent and treat mucositis in adult patients who are to receive or have received chemo/radiation therapy that have caused or is anticipated to cause mucositis in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small or large intestine. The Phase IV study addresses prevention and treatment in the oral cavity. The Phase I study addresses prevention and treatment in the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine.

The most common toxicity of chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting, and appropriate management of these toxicities can help patients improve tolerance for chemotherapy. Anti-emetics including dopamine antagonist, serotonin antagonist, and substance P antagonist administered to patients according to emetogenic risk of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, patients don't always experience same nausea and vomiting for the same drugs. Therefore, it is important to determine the biomarker to predict chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Some biomarkers studies were done during the chemotherapy. However it is not definite evidence of relations between biomarkers and chemotherapy. We will hope to find any predictive biomarker of CINV.

This clinical trial studies the quality of life and care needs of patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Studying quality of life in patients with cancer may help determine the effects of gynecologic cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a distressing adverse effect that may result in postoperative complications including bleeding, wound dehiscence, aspiration pneumonitis, as well as fluid and electrolyte imbalances Incidence of PONV after general anesthesia is about 30% in all post-surgical patients but up to 80% in high-risk patients despite advances in anesthetics and anesthesia techniques
