UACE Followed by Uterine Suction Curettage for the Treatment of Caesarean Scar Pregnancy

Caesarean Scar Pregnancy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether UACE(uterine artery chemo-embolization) followed by suction curettage under the guidance of ultrasonography or hysteroscopy can decrease complications in the treatment of Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). CSP is a special form of ectopic implantation within a fibrous tissue surrounding the previous delivery caesarean scar. The probability of CSP is 1:1800 to 1:2,226 in all pregnancies, and 6.1% in ectopic pregnancy after cesarean delivery. It's a long-term complication after cesarean delivery with very serious consequences,such as uterine rupture and massive uterine bleeding.There are more than ten methods to treat CSP,however, no universal management guidelines have been established up to now. Present methods for CSP treatment include:1)medical treatment,usually systemic or local methotrexate(MTX);2)suction curettage;3)medicine combined with uterine curettage;3)surgical treatment(hysteroscopic,laparoscopic or vaginal surgery);4) uterine artery embolization(UAE);5) The combined use of the above methods. Moreover, the rupture of the CSP and heavy bleeding may still occur following medical treatment.Suction curettage and excision of the CSP are associated with profuse bleeding. Surgical treatment is less micro-traumatic than nonsurgical interventions. For CSP, UAE followed by suction curettage appears to have more advantage than systemic MTX treatment and may be a priority option.So some author suggests that curettage and systemic methotrexate therapy and embolization as single treatments should be avoided if possible,combination of them is more effective. Plenty of evidences suggested that UACE followed by suction curettage under the guidance of ultrasonography or hysteroscopy is a priority choice. However,in our clinical practices,suction curettage of CSP is more difficult than usual induced abortion procedure of normal early pregnancy,because PCSD(previous cesarean scar defect)is very common in CSP.In random populations the incidence of PCSD is present in 24%-69% of women evaluated with transvaginal sonography. Scar defects were seen in 61% (66/108), 81% (35/43) and 100% (11/11) of the women who had undergone one, two and at least three Cesarean sections by the transvaginal ultrasound examination. What is the incidence of complications of suction curettage combined with UACE for CSP treatment remains unknown.How to decrease the complications remains unknown too.So we designed this study.

A Study to Evaluate Safety and PK Profiles of OLX10010 in Healthy Subjects

CicatrixHypertrophic

The Study Drug is an investigational drug which is being developed by OliX Pharmaceuticals Inc., with an aim to help people who develop hypertrophic scars (a type of permanent scar) in the future. Hypertrophic scars are formed when a wound becomes red, raised, and itchy before it eventually heals. These scars tend to develop due to disease, surgical operations, or burns. Available physical treatment methods to remove scars include surgery or laser therapy; however these are often accompanied by further complications including pain and recurrence of the scar and can be costly. Similarly, therapeutic agents such as ointments or oral drugs have little to no effect in preventing or treating hypertrophic scars. The aims of this Study are to determine the safety of the Study Drug and any side effects that might be associated with it, and how much of the Study Drug gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to remove it. The healthy adult subjects can participate in this study in the age between 18 and 60 years old in the UK. This study will be conducted in 2 parts, Part A and B. Part A will be a single subcutaneous or intradermal dose, dummy controlled study. Part B will be a multiple intradermal dose, dummy controlled study.

Light Emitting Diode-Red Light (LED-RL) Phototherapy for Skin Scarring Prevention

FibrosisSkin Scarring4 more

Skin scarring (fibrosis) is a common complication in the wound healing process and remains a therapeutic challenge. Scar formation often occurs following injury to the skin such as surgery, trauma, and burns. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of visible red light as a modality to reduce skin scarring after mini-facelift surgery. Based on laboratory data, light emitting diode-red light (LED-RL) phototherapy may lessen post-surgical skin fibrosis clinically.
