A cross-sectional construct validity study was conducted to investigate the relationship between clinician-rated cervical passive intervertebral motion (PIVM) testing and ultrasound quantification of cervical interfacet motion. The study was designed to determine whether clinical…

Literature search has shows that both ferric carboxymaltose and iron sucrose complex are equally effective. Unfortunately, local data addressing this issue is scarce. To get further local data, the current study was planned with the objective to compare the mean change in hemoglo…

Pes planus is a musculoskeletal syndrome in which the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) of the foot is reduced or flattened. It results from a combination of static and dynamic abnormalities. Various predisposing factors such as increased weight, foot injury, and musculoskeletal dis…

This prospective, randomized clinical study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of serratus plane block (SPB) and rhomboid intercostal plane block (RIPB) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing elective bilateral breast reduction surgery under general anesthesia. Al…

This study aims to compare standard positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with dynamic compliance-guided individualized PEEP in obese patients undergoing elective spinal surgery under general anesthesia. Obesity and prone positioning during spinal surgery are associated with re…

The incidence and severity of postoperative pain after spine surgery are notably high, often requiring intensive management and potentially affecting the patient's recovery, satisfaction, and long-term outcomes. Post-operative pain is particularly difficult to manage in patients …

The aim of this two-arm randomized clinical trial was to compare the effect of 7-day and 14-day orthodontic clear aligner wear protocols on external apical root resorption (EARR) and pain perception

MuSTARD is a singular project in the sense that investigators will develop a computational framework that is conceived as a common solution for disparate applications. This framework responds to a common need: the derivation of multi-scale spatio-temporal (ST) models equipped wit…

Lower Cross Syndrome happens when there is muscular imbalance between weak and tight muscles. The tight muscles are generally the hip flexors and erector spinae, and weak muscles are the abdominals and gluteal muscles. Shortening occurs in the hip flexors while weakening occurs i…

The goal of this study is to find out if one short set of heavy half-squats can help football players jump higher right away-and to understand what happens inside their muscles and nerves to make that boost happen. Key questions * Will performing 2-3 half-squats at 90% of one-r…

Small connected devices monitoring vital signs do not exist in children although they could be very useful to monitor patients once they have left the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in order to early identify patients at risk of PICU readmission. The main objective of this…

Toxoplasmosis in HIV-positive individuals is well-studied and has a codified management protocol, which is not the case for other immunodeficiencies, except for recent recommendations in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A description of this population is n…

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) and Post-Facilitation Stretching (PFS) for managing pain, improving hip abduction and internal rotation, and enhancing functional capacity in patients with Piriformis Syndrome. Thirty-si…

This study seeks to compare the success rates, feto-maternal outcomes, and complications associated with different neuraxial blocks in Class III obese parturient undergoing cesarean section

This study seeks to identify the most effective neuraxial technique for labor analgesia in Class III parturient

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual distraction and acuapoint stimulation on anxiety and pain perception during tooth extraction in children.

The purpose of this study is to use a non-invasive imaging technique called positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) to investigate the effects of exercise on brain activity and arterial (blood vessel) inflammation in people with PTSD symptoms and evidenc…

This systematic review aims to evaluate the prevalence of digital eye strain (DES) among individuals engaged in online learning and remote work, identify associated demographic, behavioral, environmental, and ocular risk factors, and summarize evidence regarding preventive and th…

In this ED-based study, the investigators compared the time to reach target blood pressure (BP) between hypertensive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing intravenous (IV) thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombectomy who received IV nicardipine versus labetalol. Add…

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Parkinson's disease-focused intervention on empathy levels and perceived theoretical-practical learning in third-year undergraduate nursing students. The main questions it aims to answe…
