Active clinical trials for "Uterine Hemorrhage"

Although hysteroscopy (HS) and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVSG) are methods in the diagnosis of AUB, there is some suspicion about their efficacy. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of HS and TVSG on diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB) .216 women admitted to the investigators clinic (Sisli Ethal Training and Research Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department Obstetrics Service ) between 21-51 years of age. These patients were divided into two groups; menopause (71women) and pre-menopause (145 women). HS and endometrial sampling were performed both groups after TVSG.The success of these methods was assessed by kappa analysis

Background: - CDB-2914 is a hormone that blocks progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining pregnancy. In women with fibroid tumors, CDB-2914 shrank the tumors. In many cases, menstrual periods stopped during treatment. Because CDB-2914 decreased or stopped menstrual bleeding in women with fibroids, it may be able to treat abnormal periods in women without fibroids. Objectives: - To see whether CDB-2914 can treat abnormal uterine bleeding in premenopausal women. Eligibility: - Premenopausal women who have abnormal uterine bleeding that is not caused by fibroids. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests. An ultrasound with fluid of the uterus will test for fibroids. Uterine cells will be collected for biopsy. For the next three menstrual cycles, participants will take either CDB-2914 or a placebo. Treatment will be studied with blood tests and symptom diaries. At the end of the treatment, participants have three options. They can have surgery at the Clinical Center or have another 3 months of CDB-2914. The third option is to stop treatment at the Clinical Center. Surgery will be either uterine ablation or hysterectomy. Only women older than age 33 may have a hysterectomy. Blood and urine samples will be collected after surgery. Both surgery and further treatment participants will have followup exams. All participants will have a final followup exam 1 year after stopping treatment....

Placenta previa is usually diagnosed when the placenta implanted in the lower uterine segment, thus partially or totally overlying the internal os . It occurs with an incidence of 0.3-0.5%. It is associated mainly with prior caesarean delivery . The condition is frequently complicated by invasion of placental villi beyond the decidua basalis causing placenta accreta . Placenta previa is a major cause of massive haemorrhage during pregnancy and after delivery . The antepartum bleeding from placenta previa- can be life-threatening, thus, the prediction of this bleeding is of great importance . It is important to distinguish between women at high and low risk for antepartum haemorrhage with placenta previa especially at late pregnancy . However, the potential risk factors for antepartum haemorrhage in women with placenta previa have not been thoroughly examined.

This study will be a prospective cohort study. Patients who meet criteria for inclusion in the study will be approached for participation at same day of admission. Written informed consent will be obtained from the patients by the Co-principal investigator and by the study collaborators. If patients agree to participate, a CBC (complete blood count) will be obtained via venous puncture routine in our facility as part of the admission labs which will be around 10 cc of blood. The device will be used during the delivery in laboring room. The device will be used to assess QBL (quantitative blood loss) by the research staff only and results/ QBL assessment will be masked to the clinical team. Unmasking will only occur following study completion with purpose to perform data analysis. Patient management will be according to the clinical team without the knowledge of the QBL. All patients undergo a CBC postpartum as part of post-partum evaluation, this will also be performed by venipuncture where 10 cc of blood will be collected. The drop in Hgb (hemoglobin) between the pre and post partum CBCs will be calculated for each patient. The post-partum CBC will be collected approximately 24-30 hours from delivery as standard in our unit. The blood will be collected from each patient by the nursing staff who are experienced in withdrawing blood. Patients will be divided into quartiles of Hgb. Cases will be those patients whose Hgb is in the upper quartile, while controls will be those patients whose Hgb is in the lower 3 quartiles. We will be comparing visual EBL (estimated blood loss) by standard clinical assessment versus the QBL result from the device between cases and controls. The Triton L&D (labor and delivery) system which comprises of the device, software analysis and staff training will be supplied by the manufacturer free of charge. Research staff will be trained by the manufacturer. We will be offering our skills, fellows, midwifes and residents, who will be collecting data and we will be performing the data analysis. Results will be available to the manufacturer after results are completed. The results of this study will be presented in conferences or published in a peer-review journal. Demographic information will be obtained from the electronic medical record. The data will be kept on a password secured University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) computer. An encrypted USB flash drive will be used to transfer data. The data will be identified and linked to the patient using the medical record number. During data analysis, all patient identifiers will be deleted.

The aim of this study is to show the superiority of the new unidirectional barbed suture (SYMMCORA® mid-term, unidirectional) to conventional suture material in terms of time to perform the vaginal cuff closure during gynecologic surgeries without an increase in the complication rate. Secondly, the superiority of SYMMCORA®, mid-term unidirectional compared to the V-Loc®, unidirectional will be assessed regarding the mean time to close the vaginal cuff. The study will be performed in routine clinical setting, the only difference will be the randomization into two different suture groups. Both suture materials which will be applied to approximate the vaginal cuff are approved and carrying the CE-marks. Additionally, both sutures will be applied in their intended use. Neither additional invasive measures nor additional burden in regard to the patient will be performed.

The comparator drug (Zoladex 3.6 mg) is approved for use as a thinning agent for the endometrium prior to endometrial ablation. The dosing recommendation is one or two depots with each depot given four weeks apart. When two depots are administered, surgery should be performed within two to four weeks following administration of the second depot.

Investigational study to determine if an endometrial ablation for heavy uterine bleeding, can be tolerated in the office setting without the use of intravenous medication.

The purpose of this study to determine effectiveness of paracervical block, lidocaine spray and only oral analgesic drugs for pain relief during endometrial biopsy.

The role of teleradiology has far reaching implications for the health of remote and underserved populations. The ability to coordinate radiographic evaluation and diagnosis from a distance has the potential to raise the standard of patient care throughout the world. Perhaps the safest and most cost effective mode of teleradiology today is telesonography. The current project attempts to determine the extent that telesonography improves the standard of care within a rural government-run primary clinic within the Dominican Republic. The work reported herein is intended to compare the use of telesonography to the current standard of sonographic examination (referral to government hospital 60km from target clinic). The study was conducted by randomly assigning 100 patients with clinical indications for sonographic examination into experimental and control groups. Following a 60-day implementation period, the following research questions will be addressed: 1) To what extent does the use of asynchronous telesonography increase the percentage of definitive diagnoses based on the total number of scans (definitive diagnoses / total number of scans)? 2) To what extent does the use of asynchronous telesonography increase the continuity of care for patients? 3) To what extent does the elapsed time between scanning and final radiological interpretation decrease with the use of asynchronous telesonography? This study will also look at the history of telemedicine / telesonography and its dissemination into the mainstream practice of medicine, explore training protocols that may be used to assist others to establish new telesonography programs in a developing nations, and discuss both advances and persistent barriers to the implementation of telesonography programs. Hypothesis: The use of a store-and-forward telesonography system in this setting will increase the speed and number of final diagnoses per scan received by the target clinic and will increase the continuity of care by increasing the number and speed of follow-up appointments to the target clinic.

Isthmocele is one complications of repeat cesarean sections which is considered as a pocket .that accumulate menstrual blood causing post- menstrual spotting Hysteroscopic resection of the edges of the isthmocele is considered the best treatment option available up to date. Aim of the work: Asses the effectiveness of three steps method resection using hysteroscopy of an isthmocele in patients complained of post -menstrual bleeding with confirmed presence of isthmocele. .
