What is the Best Moment for Performing an HSG in Women With a Unfulfilled Childwish

Female Infertility

The aim of this study is to determine whether direct tubal flushing with oil-based contrast at HSG incorporated in the fertility work-up results in 10% more ongoing pregnancies and a shorter time to pregnancy, which will therefore be effective and cost-effective compared to delayed tubal flushing 6 months after fertility work-up is completed in women at low risk for tubal pathology.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) as a Flushing Agent During Full Pulpotomy in Mature Permanent Molars...

Irreversible Pulpitis

This study evaluates the effect of two flushing agents (epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)) during full pulpotomy using two different calcium silicate-based materials (MTA and premixed bioceramic putty) on postoperative pain, success rate and dentin bridge thickness in mature permanent mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis. Participants will be divided into four groups based on the flushing fluid and the pulp capping material to be used.

Live Birth After Additional Tubal Flushing With Oil-based Contrast Versus no Additional Flushing:...

InfertilityFemale

Ten to 15 percent of couples in their reproductive lifetime face fertility problems which is defined by WHO as the absence of pregnancy after minimal 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. The three most frequent causes of subfertility are: sperm defects, ovulation disorders and tubal pathology. In order to exclude tubal pathology, tubal patency tests are performed under ultrasound guidance with foam (hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (Hyfosy)) or with contrast/water (hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (Hycosy)). This trial will investigate whether tubal flushing with an oil-soluble contrast medium (OSCM) can increase the likelihood of a spontaneous conception after tubal patency testing with Hyfosy under ultrasound guidance compared to no additional flushing in a population of infertile women between 18 and 40 years of age with absence of pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or who have three cycles of donor insemination without pregnancy or three ovulatory ovulation induction cycles without pregnancy. The use of Lipiodol Ultra Fluide® is off-label in Hyfosy. This multicenter, randomised, open-label, comparative and pragmatic trial compares 2 arms which will be randomised 1:1: Intervention group: Tubal flush with 5-10mL oil-soluble contrast medium (Lipiodol Ultra Fluide®, Guerbet, France) immediately after Hyfosy Control group: No additional intervention after Hyfosy The study comprises a screening period of maximum 8 weeks (w-8 to d1), randomisation (w-8 to d1), a start study visit at which the Hyfosy is performed (d1) and a fertility treatment period of 6 months (d1-w26). If the woman is not pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till 12 months (w52). If the participant is pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till maximal 4 months after live birth or miscarriage. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of live birth, with the first day of the last menstrual cycle in which the patient conceives within 6 months after Hyfosy. Secondary endpoints consist of reproductive outcomes, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, neonatal mortality, major congenital anomaly, neonatal outcomes and thyroid function, pregnancy complications, number of complications during or immediately after the intervention, pain score of the Hyfosy and additional flush, thyroid function of the mother, general and disease-specific quality of life.

A Pilot Study on Effect of add-on Sulforaphane to SSRIs and Application of Niacin Skin Flush Response...

Major Depressive Disorder

A 12-week, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to explore the effect of add-on sulforaphane (SFN) to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for major depressive disorder (MDD). This study also aims to explore the value of niacin skin flush response test in MDD. One hundred adults diagnosed with MDD will be recruited. Then all the patients will be randomly assigned to SSRI only group and SSRI plus SFN group. Clinical symptoms and side-effects will be evaluated using the 17-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (17-HDRS), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS), and Asberg's Rating Scale for Side Effects (SERS) at baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 after treatment. Fifty healthy subjects will be recruited as control group. For all subjects, testing of niacin skin flush response and serum levels of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf-2), p-Nrf2, Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1), malondialdehyde (MDA) and erythrocyte glutathion peroxidase (GPX) will be performed at baseline and endpoint. The primary outcome is the reduction rate in 17-HDRS total score from baseline to the end of the study. The secondary outcomes include changes in niacin skin flush response test and levels of serum markers. All the data will be analyzed by SPSS software.

Flushing of Internalized Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage Catheters

Bile Duct Obstruction

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is a drainage method for biliary obstruction. Patients with a PTBD catheter often need multiple re-interventions because of symptoms of catheter obstruction such as pain, jaundice, pruritus, leakage and/or fever. The onset of these symptoms results in hospital visits, opening of the external catheter of an internal external PTBD and re-interventions. The investigators hypothesize that daily flushing of an internal external biliary catheter will increase the time-to-symptom-onset.

Safety of Extending The Routine Flushing Of Implanted Port Devices From 4 Weeks To 12

Maintenance of Implanted Port Devices

Implanted port devices (IPD) play an essential role in the safe administration of cancer treatments by providing a device to safely administer caustic chemotherapy agents. The current recommended frequency of flushing the IPD per manufacturers guidelines is every 4-6 weeks. The purpose of this study is to find out if extending IPD flushes to every 12 weeks is safe and if it is just as effective as every 4 week flushing.

The Effect of Follicular Flushing on Oocyte Retrieval Rate and Embryo Quality

Infertility

Researchers will investigate the effect of flushing according to follicle size on the success of obtaining oocytes from a single follicle. In addition, by comparing the morphological quality of embryos developed from oocytes obtained with and without flushing, the possible effects of flushing on developing embryo quality will be investigated. By evaluating only one follicle for each patient, it is planned to investigate the effectiveness of the flushing process according to individual follicle characteristics, with a study design that has not yet been included in the literature.
