This study tests a surgical technique using two compression screws to treat ankle fractures that have not healed after at least 6 months. Ten adults aged 18 to 65 with a specific type of non-union will receive the procedure. The goal is to see if the screws help the bone heal and…

This study looks at whether giving a lower dose of protamine (a drug that reverses the blood thinner heparin) after heart-lung bypass is safe and effective. About 195 adults having elective open-heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of three protamine doses. The …

This study looks at two ways to treat a pregnancy that grows in the scar from a past C-section. One method is surgery to remove the pregnancy, and the other uses ultrasound guidance to drain it. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for women in their first …

This study is testing a surgical method that combines fat grafting with a muscle flap from the back to rebuild the breast after mastectomy. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications like wound infection or separation. The study will include 20 women who have had a…

This study compares two ways to surgically fix a broken wrist: using small screws (cannulated screws) or thin wires (K-wires). About 34 adults with a certain type of wrist fracture will be treated with one method or the other. The goal is to see which approach leads to better bon…

This study tests a new surgical method for hard-to-fix breaks in the wrist bone (distal ulna). Instead of using just one metal implant, doctors will use both a flexible rod and a small plate to hold the bone together. The goal is to see if this combined approach helps the bone he…

This study tests whether a combination of two drugs (cytarabine and venetoclax) can help adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stay in remission longer. Participants are 18 to 60 years old who achieved complete remission after chemotherapy but cannot get a bone marrow transpla…

This study compares two surgical techniques—transverse pinning and antegrade intramedullary pinning—for treating broken metatarsal bones in the foot. Researchers will measure how quickly the bone heals, pain levels, and foot function in 40 adults. The goal is to find which method…

This study looks at the best time to remove a thin inner eye membrane (ILM) during surgery for a detached retina. 100 adults with uncomplicated retinal detachment will have the membrane peeled either during the first repair surgery or later when silicone oil is removed. The goal …

This study compares two methods—3D ultrasound and hysteroscopy—to find the cause of abnormal bleeding in women aged 40-55 who are still having periods. About 106 participants will undergo both tests to see which is more accurate and less invasive. The goal is to determine if 3D u…

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound called saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) can accurately find pelvic adhesions (scar tissue) in women who are having trouble getting pregnant. About 120 women aged 18-45 who are suspected to have pelvic adhesions will receive …

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to ease pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. Fifty adults with shoulder stiffness for over six weeks will be randomly assigned to receive either a shoulder anterior capsular block (SHAC) or a suprascapular nerve b…

This study tests a surgery called Zadek osteotomy for people with Haglund's syndrome, a painful heel condition. Researchers will measure pain relief, foot function, and bone changes in 30 adults aged 18-60 who have not improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this su…

This study is looking at 180 non-diabetic adults with early coronary artery disease to see if a simple blood test called the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index can help predict the severity of artery blockages. Participants will have their TyG index measured and compared to their a…

This study looks at kidney function in 100 children with epilepsy, ages 1 month to 15 years. Researchers will test blood, urine, and use ultrasound to see if long-term seizure medicines cause kidney problems. The goal is to understand risks, not to test a new treatment.

This study looks at whether people with an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) are more likely to have a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. Researchers will check 200 non-diabetic adults using ultrasound and a special liver scan. The goal is to understand the connection b…

This study looks at whether combining two simple blood markers—albumin-to-globulin ratio and prognostic nutritional index—can help predict disease activity in people with lupus. Researchers will study 200 adults with lupus to see if these markers can serve as an easy, non-invasiv…

This study aims to understand how markers of inflammation in the blood and findings on lung CT scans are linked to flare-ups (exacerbations) in people with stable bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition. Researchers will enroll 100 adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.…

This study is looking at how having an underactive or overactive thyroid can change the results of liver function tests. Researchers will measure bilirubin levels in 100 adults with thyroid disease and compare them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the link …

This study looks back at the experiences of 25 children aged 1-18 who received a treatment called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) at Sohag University Hospital. TPE is a blood-cleaning procedure that removes harmful substances from the blood. The goal is to document why the chil…

This study compares two methods—road mapping and ultrasound—for guiding a needle into a leg artery during a procedure to open blocked vessels. It includes 32 adults with severe leg artery disease who need this approach. The goal is to see which method is safer and more successful…

This study looks at 100 COPD patients on breathing machines to see if a new ultrasound-based breathing test (D-RSBI) is better than the standard test (RSBI) at predicting when they can safely breathe on their own. Researchers will measure the diaphragm during a breathing trial an…

This study compares two techniques for removing silicone oil from the eye after retinal detachment repair. About 200 people who had silicone oil placed during a prior surgery will take part. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better.

This study looks at whether rheumatoid arthritis patients taking the drug baricitinib have more nerve damage than those on standard treatments. Researchers will use nerve conduction tests to measure how well nerves work. The goal is to better understand the risk of peripheral neu…

This study looks at whether a tool called the Modified SOAR score can help doctors predict which stroke patients are at highest risk of dying soon after they are admitted to the hospital. Researchers will follow 60 adults with acute stroke for the first 7 days of their stay. The …
