NCT02298465
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for urinary stone is common and widespread nowadays. Approximately 80% of urinary stones are treated by ESWL. Traditionally distal ureteric stones are treated with ESWL in the prone position. However, as some patients cannot tolerate lying in the prone due to medical illness such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), some authors have reported using the supine approach of ESWL for treatment of distal ureter stones. No serious complications had developed in the patients who underwent supine approach. Only minor complications such as self-limiting blood in the urine, painful passage of urine, or local pain that had responded to oral painkillers. There were no serious complications encountered in children as well. In the most recent retrospective review by Tolley et al, they had revealed that patients who had underwent supine ESWL for distal ureteric stones had an improved stone-free rate compared with the traditional prone approach. Patient with radio-opaque distal ureteric stones (stones below the sacroiliac joint) on KUB X-ray, who have opted for ESWL treatment, are randomized into two groups: one undergoing ESWL in the supine position and the other undergoing ESWL in the prone position. Patients will be observed for two hours after ESWL before being discharged. Oral painkillers as necessary will be provided to the patient. The patients will have a KUB Xray at 2 weeks post-ESWL, and then monthly afterwards if required. If there are residual stones at the 2-week follow-up, the patient will be offered ESWL again. Patients are free to withdraw from the study at any time and will continue to be managed as per usual. The investigators aim to have 130 patients, with 65 patients in each group with an interim analyses to be performed when 66 patients have been recruited (33 patients in each group).
NCT05169164
Methods: International, seven-day observational cohort study of complications following elective or emergency surgery. Objectives: To provide detailed data describing post-operative complications and associated mortality. Number of participants: Our aim is to recruit as many patients from as many hospitals as possible in Latin American nations. Eligible countries for participation: Countries and dependencies in Latin America that are situated in the area stretching from the northern border of Mexico to the southern tip of South America, including the Caribbean. Inclusion criteria: all adult patients aged 18 years or older undergoing elective or emergency surgery during the seven-day study period with a planned overnight stay. Exclusion criteria: patients who are undergoing planned day-case surgery or radiological procedures. Statistical methodology and analysis: Single and multi-level logistic regression models will be constructed to identify factors independently associated with these outcomes and to adjust for differences in confounding factors. A single final analysis is planned at the end of the study. A pre-defined analysis will focus on outcomes of patients who have undergone caesarean section. Study duration: Each nation will select a 7-day period between 1st April and 31th October 2022.

NCT05983783
Evaluate whether the combination of Rezvilutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with docetaxel improves overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) compared to the combination of Rezvilutamide and ADT.
NCT05983510
Coral reef aorta is defined by a calcified stenosis of the visceral aorta which can cause leg claudication, renal failure and visceral ischemia depending the type and localisation of the stenosis. This pathology is rare and is usually treated by open surgery with aortic endarteriectomy. Little is know about the outcomes after such aggressive surgery with short series and short follow up. The authors propose a retrospective study from their institution to explore the post operative and long term outcomes after this surgery.
NCT05984264
The research aims to compare the efficacy of topical Pridocaine cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) and the standardized local lidocaine infiltration in pain management before pleurocentesis.
NCT05841316
In the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) guideline on the use of neuromuscular blockers published in 2023, it was suggested that sugammadex could be used to reverse deep and moderate neuromuscular blockade, and that neostigmine could be used to reverse superficial neuromuscular block (expressed as Train-of-Four Ratio (TOFR) 0.4 and above) to TOFR 0.9. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that a transition from deep neuromuscular block to superficial neuromuscular block can be achieved with lower than standard dose of sugammadex, followed by usual dose of neostigmine which results complete neuromuscular recovery from superficial neuromuscular block. This study is planned with 2 stages. In the first phase of the study, the main goal is to determine the dose of sugammadex that would reverse the rocuronium induced deep neuromuscular block (PTC 1 to 3) to superficial neuromuscular block (TOFR: 0.4) in 95% of patients in 5 minutes following administration.
NCT04072445
This phase II trial studies how well trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan work in treating patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has not responded to treatment (refractory). Trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT05095961
Randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of a five-day course of pre-operative oral steroids on decreasing intra-operative blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery.
NCT04575766
This is a Phase 1, open-label study that will evaluate the safety and tolerability of FT-7051 and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of FT-7051 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed despite prior therapy and had been treated with at least one potent anti-androgen therapy. The starting dose, 25 mg once daily (QD), of FT-7051 administered discontinuously (21 days on/7 days off) in 28-day cycles.

The main question it aims to answer is: * What is the prevalence of HPV lesions in transgender population (TG); * What kind of high risk HPV (hrHPV) and low risk HPV (lrHPV) are detected at the genital, anal and ENT level
NCT02466217
The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.
NCT05982210
Core stability is maintained mainly by muscle function of abdominal and lumbar region, including the diaphragm muscle. It is known that exists a connection between trunk's muscle activity and the movement of lower limb and lower limb and low back injuries are related to core alterations. Thus, a randomized clinical trial is planned to analyze the effectiveness of an exercises and manual therapy of the diaphragm and ribs program designed, aiming to analyze the correlation between rib cage mobility and lower limb neuromuscular control in young healthy subjects.
NCT05982028

NCT05853679
Around 40 people will participate in the study. The study participants will be recruited from service homes in the City of Helsinki. The subjects will be randomized into two groups. One of the groups will receive daily photodynamic Lumoral treatment for 2 months in a home care unit according to a separate instruction manual. At the beginning of the study, all subjects will receive an oral cleaning and will also be provided with electric toothbrushes. In addition, residents and care home personnel will be instructed on daily tooth cleaning. During the study, all participants will undergo clinical measurements and an assessment of the oral inflammatory load. The samples will be stored for later analysis. In addition, residents or care home personnel answer questions about oral self-care. These measurements and examinations will be carried out at the start of the study and two months after the start of the study. After the end of the study, participants will continue to be treated according to their usual care and individual care plan.
