Voxelotor is a new drug for adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease that improves hemoglobin levels and reduces the incidence of worsening anemia. However, it is unclear whether this increase in hemoglobin is associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolic stress. This …

Total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is a traditional surgical option for slow transit constipation (STC). Subtotal colectomy with caecorectal anastomosis have been reported to be a potential alternative approach. Thus, the optimal surgical option for STC is controversial.

The aim of this study is to compare between levosimendan and adrenaline in patients with pre-existing impaired systolic function (EF 30-40%), undergoing elective on-pump CABG, as regards hemodynamics and echocardiographic parameters.

The research goals of this randomized controlled trial are to determine the feasibility and the mechanism of change of iMBT that has been developed using the Acceptance Checklist for Clinical Effectiveness Pilot Trials. The primary research question is as follows: What is the e…

This is an open-label, randomised study in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated for hyperkalaemia (HK) whilst in hospital. The study will compare SZC to standard of care (SoC) with the goal of determining: * If continued use of SZC maintains normokalaemia (NK) …

This study compared two available, evidence-based, at-home digital pain treatment programs. The goal is to see if one approach is better than the other, and whether certain patients respond to one more than the other. Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of…

The researchers are doing this study to look at the number of complications that occur immediately after prepectoral breast reconstruction when Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) is used compared to when ADM is not used. These complications include infections, the need for Tissue Expa…

The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of percutaneous electrolysis in posterior tibial tendinopathies. The posterior tibial tendon injury is one of the most frequent pathologies in the lower extremities, and therefore a correct study and evaluation of it is necessary. Thi…

The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of treatment of juxta-anastomotic (re)stenosis with SUPERA stent by improving hemodynamic situation through obtuse shaping of the anastomosis.

This completed study compared how the body absorbed a single 2.5 mg dose of a test rivaroxaban tablet and the reference product (Xarelto) in healthy adults. The comparison was conducted separately under fasting and fed conditions. The study also evaluated the safety and tolerabil…

This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of antegrade flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in treating upper ureteric stones \>10 mm in maximum dimension and impacted upper ureteric stones irrespective of size in comparison to retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy and evalu…

Early use of robotic gait trainers have shown many benefits, however why these benefits occur and how to maximize them is unknown. There are a few options for how a robotic gait trainer can be used, however, there is not much understanding of how these options impact rehabilitati…

Peripheral inflammation and microvascular dysfunction are central to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). Retinal imaging allows for the accurate quantitative assessment of the condition of retinal microvessels, and early studies implicate microvascular dysfunction in SZ, b…

A prospective multi-center observational study to assess the incidence of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) in ICU patients and to identify host- and pathogen related risk factors for IAPA in EORTC negative ICU patients with severe influenza.

Following pancreaticoduodenectomy, omental flaps around the pancreatic anastomosis can lower the risk of pancreatic fistula, post-pancreatectomy bleeding, and delayed gastric emptying. The overall morbidity following pancreaticoduodenectomy can be decreased with this straightforw…

Examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, stomach and duodenum) involves passing a flexible tubular endoscope through the mouth into the stomach. It is commonly performed to identify the cause of abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea and anaemia. As it is an i…

The researchers are doing this study to find out if there are differences in the resting state brain networks of children and young adults (ages 6-25) after treatment with proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT). The researchers will use resting state functional connectivity magneti…

This study is open to adults with advanced head and neck cancer, skin cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer. People can take part if previous treatments were not successful. The purpose of this study is to find out how 2 medicines called BI 765063 and BI 770371 are taken up in t…

The main objective of the pilot phase of PGLEXPO will be to assess the faisability and to precise methodology of a case-control study designed for testing the impact of environmental and professional exposures on the tumoral risk in SDHx-mutation carriers

The overarching goal of this study is to improve understanding of the long-range natural history of TBI and post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) by extending follow-up of a previously enrolled cohort (TRACK-TBI) beyond the first 12 months after injury.
