All clinical trials

this prospective study we will examine the prevalence of fungal infection in patients undergoing oral cavity surgery without treatment with antifungal drug

The Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department of Montpellier was born out of the Wound and Healing department, the first unit of this type to be created in Europe. The investigators quickly became the national leader in the management of pressure ulcers, especially in people with spinal cord injuries. Our expertise has evolved over time as well as our surgical techniques for covering ulcers, gradually over time the investigators have gone from " random " flaps to " propeller " flaps, more reliable in terms of vascularization and more logical in terms of force distribution and skin tension. The investigators found subjectively that the rate of complications was lower for the helical flaps. The investigators therefore seek to confirm this trend through a retrospective study on patients operated on in the department between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019.

Patients hospitalized at the rehabilitation department at the hospital will fill a questionnaire regarding dizziness and ear diseases, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and then will be examined by an ENT physician, followed by a video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) study.

The aim of the project is to develop an artificial intelligence software capable of analysing heart sounds to provide early diagnosis of a variety heart diseases at an early stage. Since the invention of the stethoscope by Laennec in 1816, the basic design has not changed significantly. Our software could be coupled with existing electronic stethoscopes to create an 'intelligent' stethoscope that could be used by healthcare assistants or practice nurses to screen for sound producing heart diseases. It could also be used at home by patients who would otherwise go undiagnosed. The study investigators at Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) have developed a proof-of-concept AI algorithm to detect heart murmurs. However, in order to accurately detect the specific pathology and severity underlying the murmur, more heart sound recordings (matched with the ground truth from the patient's echocardiogram) are required. Patients presenting to one of the partner hospitals requiring an echocardiogram as part of their routine care will be invited to consent to this study. Participation will entail recording of a patient's heart sounds using an electronic stethoscope as well as collection of routine clinical data and a routine clinical echocardiogram at a single routine out patient visit.

The aim is to describe the epidemiology and determine the independent risk factors for mortality and acute organ injury in AKI and to assess the impact of different treatment strategies on survival. This will allow the development of prevention strategies and design of appropriately powered intervention studies.

We wish to evaluate sexuality during pregnancy between spontaneous pregnancies and resulting from assisted procreation The literature is poor on thie subject

It is estimated that >200 million people have Peripheral artery disease (PAD) worldwide. PAD is related to increased morbidity or mortality in affected patients. More severe forms of PAD are surgically managed. Estrogen receptors (ERs) are strictly linked with vascular disease, and may be involved also in PAD onset and progression. This study will explore the expression of ERs, (ER-alpha, ER-beta,and a G protein-coupled of estrogen receptor -GPER-) in vessel wall of arteries of operated PAD patients, through the entire clinical spectrum of PAD.

Evaluation of preoperative physical capacity and its evolution in the postoperative period in older patients after undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer, with the test: - Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) After the inclusion of the first 10 patients, a preliminary feasibility study will be carried out and thus we have coverage of this pilot study.

Assessment of incidence, diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis in Assiut university hospital

This is a prospective follow-up non-intervention study that will be carried out at Hematology/ Oncology Department, Children's hospital, Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. All followed-up children below 18 years with cancer during the one year study period from May 2020 till Apr 2021 either at the out-patients clinic or inpatient department will be recruited.
