Asphyxia is by far the most common cause of death after critical avalanche burial. The presence of an air pocket increases the survival chances, but expired air rich in carbon dioxide (CO2) progressively displaces oxygen (O2) in the air pocket, a phenomenon known as displacement …

Evaluation of the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on patients with high flow oxygen therapy

Assessment of the effects of vibrating mesh nebulisation versus jet nebulisation on respiratory function in patients with long-term tracheostomy ventilation: evaluating neural respiratory drive, breathing mechanics, cardiac parameters, secretions, and breathlessness

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and quitting is especially difficult for couples who both smoke. When both partners smoke, they are less likely to quit successfully and more likely to relapse compared to people whose partner does not smoke.…

Every year, millions of children are diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disabilities. This term covers a wide range of conditions, from genetic syndromes to brain injuries such as cerebral palsy. Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities often struggle in multiple areas, inclu…

Peripheral nerve injury is a major concern that drastically affects the patient's quality of life. Nowadays, several treatment options are available, including medical treatments, surgical intervention, and others. However, the trending photobiomodulation effect of laser therapy …

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether titanium tacks can be used as an alternative to sutures for stabilization of free gingival grafts (FGG) around natural teeth. It will also evaluate the effect of each stabilization technique on patient comfort and clinical outco…

The objective of this clinical trial is to explore the analgesic effect of intradermal needle therapy on patients after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection, and evaluate the safety of intradermal needle therapy. The primary questions it aims to address are: 1. What is the …

This trial hypothesized that novel laser refractive surgery techniques (LASIK, KLEx) or laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACAS) could suppress postoperative inflammation and improve recovery in patients by reducing oxidative stress generated by the surgical procedure. It is also…

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health, influencing metabolism, immunity, and pathogen resistance. Research has linked microbiome dysbiosis to various intestinal and extra-intestinal disorders, prompting interest in therapeutic strategies like fecal microbiota tr…

This study will look at how safe and effective limb lengthening surgeries are for the femur and tibia in children 12 years old and younger. We will examine any complications from the surgery, the results of X-rays, and feedback from patients. The study will involve the Precice In…
