The purpose of this study is to analyze whether cold dissection can decrease the rate of ischemia necrosis and other complications and then increase the aesthetic outcomes compared to electrocautery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of whole-process transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on opioid consumption after gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery. All subjects received conventional multimodal analgesia. On this basis, the experimental group received whole-process transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, while the control group received corresponding false stimulation.

This is an open label, dose escalation clinic trial of ER2001 intravenous injection to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ascending single and multiple doses of intravenously administered ER2001 in patients with early manifest Huntington's Disease. Furthermore, pharmacodynamics in particular target engagement, and early clinical signs of efficacy will be assessed. This study will evaluate increasing doses of ER2001 in sequential cohorts. ER2001 was escalated over 4 dose levels . The planned duration of this treatment is 14 weeks.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab in the treatment of EGFR-amplified advanced pan solid tumors (Lung/Esophageal/Gastric/Pancreatic /Colorectal / Head and neck Cervical).

The aim of the study is to assess the effect of adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in US guided erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy surgeries , Using visual analogue score and post-operative narcotics consumption. Peripheral nerve blocks are effective adjuvant options for pain management in breast surgeries. The use of Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been proven to be very effective in controlling pain and minimizing narcotic consumption after modified radical mastectomy surgeries. Many adjuvants to local anaesthetics were used to improve the duration and intensity of the peripheral nerve block.

Bipolar disorder (BD) affects between 1-3% of the world's population. People with BD experience episodes of mania or hypomania and in most cases, they experience periods of depression which can cause difficulties in daily life. Psychological therapies for people experiencing depression without mania or hypomania are widely available, but there is little research into how effective these therapies are for people with BD. Behavioral activation therapy (BA) is based on behavioral theory and has been proven to be an effective treatment for unipolar depression. It helps people re-establish healthier activity patterns and sleep regulation, especially in BD for mood stabilization. BA is theoretically and clinically well matched to the treatment of bipolar depression, but there is still very little research into offering BA to people with BD. The first aim of the current research is to implement BA for people with depression in Bipolar Disorder and study if it is feasible for this patient group. The second aim is to do a pilot study on the effectiveness of the treatment for this patient group. The research will be implemented with people seeking treatment at the specialized service for bipolar disorder at Landspítali University Hospital in Iceland. The participants will receive treatment as usual and the BA will be adjunctive. At least ten people, that are currently experiencing Bipolar Depression and are willing to take part, will receive up to 20 individual therapy sessions of BA that have been adapted for Bipolar Depression (BA-BD), and will complete regular questionnaires and interviews. The study will be a replication study to validate the previous study's findings by Kim, W. et al., 2022 in another setting.

In this study the investigator aim to find the effects of early mobility on different physical activity protocols in post CABG patients. Physical activity, functional status, functional capacity, Kinesiophobia, ICU mortality, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, length of hospital stay and sternal instability. To compare the physical activity protocol used by physical therapist.

A problem with breathing during sleep, called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), likely increases the risk of stroke and is common in people who have had a stroke, present in about 2/3 of stroke survivors. There is also evidence that OSA predicts worse outcome after stroke. The question being addressed in the Stroke and CPAP Outcome Study 3 (SCOUTS3) is how to improve use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to treat OSA when started during intensive stroke rehabilitation.

This is a single-institution study to evaluate the use of intravenously administered allogeneic, 3rd party mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC) in patients with active, cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), as a bridge to hematopoietic stem cell transplant or gene therapy, or in patients who are too advanced for gene therapy or HSCT. The intervention will occur in the time between diagnosis of active CALD and transplant which is currently 8-12 weeks.

The goal of this randomized feasibility trial is to evaluate the feasibility of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) in invasively ventilated critically ill patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is MI-E feasible? Is MI-E safe? Participants in the intervention group will receive: MI-E Airway secretions will be removed by endotracheal suctioning, as part of routine airway care. Manual hyperinflation will only be used when necessary in an emergency situation. Patients in the control group will receive endotracheal suctioning and manual hyperinflation when clinically indicated. The primary outcome is the proportion of delivered MI-E sessions (2 times per calendar day a MI-E session of 3 x 3 cycles of an in- and exsufflation) per patient according to study protocol (feasibility). Secondary outcomes are the total number of serious adverse events in relation to MI-E (safety) and preliminary exploratory data on the need for airway care interventions and clinical outcomes including duration of invasive ventilation, length of stay in ICU and mortality (efficacy).
