NCT04317599
The presence of a BRAFV600E mutation is considered a marker of poor prognosis in patients with mCRC, and findings from clinical trials have largely remained inconclusive regarding the efficacy of first line treatments for BRAF-mutant mCRC patients. In the absence of targeted/specific treatment for BRAF-mutant mCRC, treatment practices can vary based on local practices and guidelines. There is, therefore, an unmet need to document the current practices for first-line treatment of BRAF-mutant mCRC, and their effectiveness and safety in a real-world setting. This real-world, multicenter non-interventional study (NIS) will describe the treatment patterns, effectiveness and safety of current treatment regimens in BRAFV600E mutant mCRC patients in Europe, with the aim to put the clinical study findings of the ongoing Phase 2, single-arm, open label trial (ANCHOR) into context of the current treatment landscape excluding investigational therapies. Additionally, the NIS output may be used to support future health technology assessment submissions and publications.

NCT07273812
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an Arabic-language mobile application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) can help women with breast cancer during chemotherapy. The app is designed to give personalized support by reminding participants about their medications, teaching them how to manage treatment side effects, and alerting their healthcare team about serious symptoms. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does the AI-based mobile app provide accurate and safe recommendations for the patients? 2. Does using the AI-based mobile app help lower treatment-related symptoms and side effects compared to usual care? 3. Does the app help participants take their medications more regularly? 4. Does it increase participants' understanding and satisfaction with the information they receive about their treatment? Researchers will compare two groups: Group 1: Participants who use the AI-based mobile app plus usual oncology care. Group 2: Participants who receive usual care only. Participants will: 1. Use the mobile app daily for 12 weeks while receiving chemotherapy. 2. Complete short questionnaires about symptoms, medication use, and quality of life at the start and end of the study. 3. Report any problems or feedback about using the app. The AI app is for support and education only. It does not make treatment decisions. All information from the app will be reviewed by oncologists and pharmacists to ensure participant safety.
NCT07307846
Cervical radiculopathy is a common condition caused by irritation or compression of cervical nerve roots, often leading to unilateral neuropathic pain and functional impairment. Proprioceptive deficits in the upper extremity have been demonstrated in various cervical spine disorders; however, the effect of interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ILESI) on upper extremity proprioception in patients with chronic cervical radiculopathy has not been previously examined. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate changes in upper extremity proprioception following unilateral ILESI in patients with cervical disc herniation-related chronic radiculopathy. A secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between proprioceptive changes and clinical outcomes such as pain, neuropathic pain, disability, grip strength, and quality of life.
NCT07313644
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a serious and often fatal complication in patients following severe trauma or major surgery. Mechanical ventilation is essential for supportive care in this population, but may aggravate lung injury when suboptimal ventilatory settings are applied. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is crucial for maintaining alveolar recruitment; however, optimal PEEP selection in trauma- or postoperative-associated ARDS remains uncertain. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) enables bedside, real-time assessment of regional ventilation and may support optimal PEEP titration by balancing alveolar overdistension and collapse. This study compares EIT-guided PEEP optimization with the conventional low FiO₂-PEEP strategy in terms of oxygenation and respiratory mechanics in patients with moderate to severe ARDS following trauma or surgery.
NCT07313956
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the choice of ventilator mode for patients on breathing machines in the intensive care unit affects their survival and recovery. To do this, researchers will assign the entire participating intensive care unit to one of the three available ventilator modes, alternating which mode is assigned in random sequence every 2 months. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the choice between volume control, pressure control, and adaptive pressure control affect the number of days that patients are alive and free of the breathing machine?

Besides, another purpose of this project is to analyze the tongue coating metabolites of patients with IBD by mass spectrometry, and to establish a research model of tongue coating an d metabolomics for patien ts with IBD and the prognosis analysis of acute and remission phases.
NCT07314398
Emergency hernia repairs are associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality compared with elective hernia surgery. In Finland, approximately 500 emergency groin hernia repairs and 600 ventral hernia repairs are performed annually, but treatment practices vary widely, and high-quality evidence is lacking. This prospective multicenter cohort study will evaluate outcomes of emergency groin and ventral hernia repairs in Finland. About 600 patients will be recruited over two years and followed for five years postoperatively. The study will collect standardized data on patient demographics, comorbidities, surgical technique, intraoperative findings, postoperative course, and long-term follow-up. Quality of life will be assessed with RAND-36, AAS, and PROMIS questionnaires. The primary endpoint is hernia recurrence within two years after surgery. Secondary outcomes include 30- and 90-day complications, infection rates, readmissions, recovery time, and quality of life at 1, 2, and 5 years. The results will provide robust evidence to guide clinical practice, optimize surgical techniques, and refine urgency classification and surgeon competence requirements for emergency hernia repair.
NCT07314840
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is the tendinopathy of the common extensor tendon. Although exact etiology remains unclear, it is believed to be caused by overuse. Even though, genetics factor related to tendinopathies were defined accompanying tendinopathies in patients with LE is yet to be studied. Madrid sonographic enthesitis index (MASEI) is an ultrasound based scoring system, developed for the evaluation of the enthesitis. Initially developed for ankylosing spondylitis, its usage has also become widespread in other musculoskeletal diseases. The aim of this study is to calculate the MASEI score in patients diagnosed with LE, and compare it to healthy volunteers.

NCT07315711
The study was designed as a prospective, observational study. Pediatric patients under 18 years of age scheduled for peripheral vascular access placement during day-case surgery or non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) will be included. The primary outcomes include time to successful vascular access, number of attempts, and number of interventions (defined as each new skin entry of the needle). These outcomes will be compared between two groups: those who receive vascular access with the aid of a vascular imaging device and those in whom such a device is not used.
NCT07315737
Background: Undescended testicles (UDTs) are common in male infants. Untreated UDT poses risks such as infertility (IF), testicular cancer (TC), and testicular torsion (TT). Retractile testicles (RTs) sporadically ascend from the scrotum. UDT requires early surgical correction, whereas RT requires only periodic follow-up. Differentiating these conditions is challenging, making clinical biomarkers potentially useful. The aim of our study was to examine the use of miRNAs, which are difficult to differentiate, as biomarkers in the differential diagnosis of UDT and RT. Methods: This prospective study included 10 boys with UDT (operated), 9 with RT (followed), and 9 controls. Parent consent and serum samples were collected to evaluate miR-210, miR-34c, and miR-449a expression via real-time PCR. For group comparisons, one-way ANOVA was used for parametric data, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for nonparametric data, followed by the Dunn-Bonferroni correction for post hoc multiple comparisons. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyse correlations. A p value \< 0.05 was considered significant.
NCT07309653

NCT07315490
Endotracheal Tube (ETT) is frequently used for GA (general anesthesia) to deliver oxygen and volatile anesthetic agents to the patient and serves as a channel for anesthetic gases. The ETT cuff helps in positive pressure ventilation and maintains an adequate seal between the endotracheal tube and trachea. Prolonged inflation of ETT cuff can cause ischemic changes of tracheal mucosa and other complications like postoperative sore throat (POST), hoarseness of voice, difficulty in swallowing, tracheal wall ulcer, stricture etc. Among these, the occurrence of sore throat after GA ranges from 21 - 65% Hence it important to measure ETT cuff pressure in intubated patients. The reliable and convenient way for this is using an ETT manometer, which is not readily available in most of hospitals in Pakistan.Many studies have focused on incidence of POST. Most of these studies have been done in western population and differences in various ethnicities are well reported . In Pakistan, air is widely used for ETT cuff inflation. If the results depict minimal cuff pressure changes and postoperative side effects with Xylocaine as compared to air, then it can be inferred that cuff pressure does not increase due to N2O when Xylocaine is used, hence, it can be safely used for cuff inflation eliminating the requirement of ETT cuff pressure monitoring and also the ETT cuff manometer, serving as a cost-effective alternative.
NCT07160088
In recent years, with the active application of clinical monitoring and treatment methods, the survival rate of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has improved, but still a certain proportion of patients develop chronic and disabling neurological deficits, namely delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND). The incidence of DIND is not clear, and the causes are diverse. Symptomatic vasospasm is only one of the possible causes, and early diagnosis is difficult. Up to now, there is no gold standard for diagnosis and no relevant treatment guidelines. Given these reasons, this study intends to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study to collect relevant information on diagnostic methods (neurological symptoms in clinical examinations or changes in monitoring by instruments) and treatment methods, describe the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DIND) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), evaluate the different treatment strategies adopted by participating centers, and compare these strategies in terms of mortality and short-term and long-term neurological outcomes, and describe the indications, usefulness, and treatment intensity of intracranial pressure monitoring of the brain parenchyma during SAH in patients. Study design: This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study. The study subjects are patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage as the primary diagnosis, admitted to the intensive care unit and receiving treatment. The treatment of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DIND) is the responsibility of the professional medical and surgical teams of each center. Study period: The enrollment period is 12 months from the start of ethical approval, and the follow-up period is 12 months after the onset. Inclusion criteria: ① Age ≥ 18 years; ② Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (confirmed by DSA/CTA); ③ Admitted to the intensive care unit; ④ Signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria: ① Unidentified cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (no visible aneurysm); ② Traumatic SAH; ③ Complicated with brain tumors or arteriovenous malformations. Endpoints: Primary endpoints: The occurrence of suspected DIND: Whether it is indicated by neurological clinical examination (such as the patient being conscious or in a light sedated state), or by the monitoring of instruments (if clinical examination is impossible), suggesting the possibility of DIND, regardless of whether there is imaging confirmation or not, can be considered as suspected DIND. Secondly endpoints: - The clinical application of diagnostic and monitoring methods in the identification and management of DIND in patients with aSAH. * Evaluation of mortality and neurological functional prognosis (GOSE and mRS) at 6 months and 12 months after onset. * Comparison of changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with ICP monitoring and the intensity of the treatment received (Therapy Intensity Level, TIL). Sample size: The enrollment will be as much as possible during the enrollment period (totally approximately 1000 cases).
