NCT07097337
Background: Why This Study Matters When someone suffers a severe injury (like from a car crash), they can bleed heavily. One complication doctors often face is something called Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy (TIC). This is a condition where the blood doesn't clot properly, making bleeding worse. The reasons behind TIC are complicated and not fully understood. One important substance involved is fibrinogen, a protein that helps blood clot. Low levels of fibrinogen are often the first sign of TIC and tend to be linked with how bad the injury is. Because of this, doctors have been giving trauma patients extra fibrinogen early on, hoping it will help them survive. However, a recent large study (called CRYOSTAT-2) showed that giving high doses of fibrinogen to all trauma patients didn't actually help reduce deaths. This suggests that not everyone needs it-only patients with very low fibrinogen levels (below 1.5 grams per liter) should get it. The problem is: it currently takes 30 to 45 minutes to get fibrinogen test results. In emergency situations, that's too slow. So doctors have been guessing who needs it, which might not always be the best approach. What This Study Aims to Do This new study wants to see if a faster, bedside test-called a point-of-care (POC) fibrinogen test-can be used in the Emergency Department (ED) during trauma resuscitations. Main Goals: Feasibility: Can the test be done quickly and easily during emergency care? Usefulness: If the fast test had been available, would doctors have made different decisions-like giving or not giving fibrinogen? And would that have changed outcomes for the patients? Study Details Feasibility Study: To see if the test is practical during trauma care. Retrospective Cohort Study: To look back at patients and see if early test results could have changed decisions or outcomes. Who's In the Study? Adults over 16 who arrive at the ED with serious trauma and for whom the hospital's Massive Transfusion Protocol was activated (meaning they had major bleeding). They must have received at least one unit of blood. How the Study Will Work The Test: A small amount of blood (0.15 ml) will be taken from blood that's already being drawn for routine care-so no extra blood draws are needed. The POC test (called qLabs Fib) will be done at the same time as standard lab tests. Important Note: Doctors won't make decisions based on this fast test for now. It's just being tested for feasibility. Nurses will note how long the test takes and if they had any trouble using it. Later, researchers will look back at the data to see: * What the fibrinogen levels were. * Whether the fast results could have helped guide better treatment. * If outcomes like how much blood was given or survival were affected. Why It Matters If the fast test works well, it could lead to * Faster, more accurate treatment in trauma cases. * Less unnecessary use of fibrinogen, saving resources and avoiding possible side effects. * Better outcomes for patients by tailoring treatment to their actual needs.
NCT05121012

NCT07398573
Study Type: Prospective, Randomized, Observational Clinical Study Primary Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of caudal block (CB) and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery using objective pain monitoring methods. Key Questions Addressed: Does the quadratus lumborum block provide superior intraoperative and postoperative analgesia compared to the caudal block, as measured by the Pain Monitor (PAM) and the FLACC scale? Is the PAM monitor a reliable tool for objectively assessing nociception and pain in children who are unable to verbally express pain? Which regional anesthesia technique more effectively delays the time to first postoperative analgesic requirement and reduces total analgesic consumption? Which method is associated with higher parental satisfaction and fewer postoperative side effects, such as postoperative nausea and vomiting? Comparison Groups: Children receiving ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block will be compared with those receiving caudal block. Intervention Group: Bilateral quadratus lumborum block with 0.5 mL/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine. Active Comparator Group: Caudal block with 1 mL/kg of 0.125% bupivacaine. Participant Population: A total of 68 children, aged 2 months to 6 years, with ASA physical status I-II, scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgeries (e.g., inguinal hernia repair, orchiopexy, hydrocele). What Participants Will Do: Participants will receive the assigned regional block as part of standard anesthetic care. Observational data will be collected as follows: Intraoperative: Continuous nociception monitoring using the PAM device at predefined time points (during laryngeal mask airway insertion, block performance, surgical incision, 20 minutes after block performance, and extubation). Postoperative: Pain assessment using the FLACC scale at 1, 2, and 4 hours in the post-anesthesia care unit. Rescue analgesia (intravenous paracetamol) will be administered if the FLACC score is ≥4. Time to first analgesic administration and total analgesic consumption will be recorded. Additional outcomes include postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) scores, Steward recovery scores, and parental satisfaction scores assessed using the Pediatric Parental Satisfaction Scale (PPPS). Primary Outcome: Intraoperative PAM index scores. Secondary Outcomes: Postoperative FLACC scores, time to first analgesic requirement, total postoperative analgesic consumption, incidence and severity of PONV, Steward recovery scores, and parental satisfaction (PPPS) scores.

NCT07396831
The goal of this clinical study is to determine if antibiotic eye drops are needed after retinal surgery to prevent infection. Currently, patients are prescribed antibiotic eye drops to use for several weeks after they undergo retina surgery. The main question that we are trying to answer is: \- Are postoperative eye drops necessary to prevent eye infections after retina surgery? Patients will still receive steroid drops after their surgery to control inflammation. Additionally, patients will have regular follow up with their eye surgeon to monitor for the signs and symptoms of eye infection.
NCT07396311
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous condition with recurrent exacerbations despite guideline-based therapy. This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate whether baseline fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), a biomarker of type 2 airway inflammation, predicts future exacerbations and lung function decline in COPD patients initiated on triple inhaler therapy in routine clinical practice. The study will also explore the relationships between air pollution exposure, type 2 inflammatory biomarkers, and COPD outcomes.
NCT04395079
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well brachytherapy with durvalumab or tremelimumab work for the treatment of gynecological malignancies that is resistant to platinum therapy (platinum-resistant), does not respond to treatment (refractory), has come back (recurrent), or has spread to other places in body (metastatic). Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see whether brachytherapy with durvalumab or tremelimumab works better in treating patients with gynecological malignancies.
NCT07396441
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of stingless bee honey (Kelulut honey) in juvenile open-angle glaucoma patients. The study evaluates the effects on serum Interleukin 6 level(IL-6), retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) thickness and dry eye-related symptoms. A total of 60 participants who meet the study criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will consume 30 grams of Kelulut honey daily for a period of three months, while the control group will not receive honey or a placebo. Serum IL-6 level, RNFL thickness, Tear break up time (TBUT) and Schirmer Test 1 will be done before and after 90 days. Adherence to honey consumption will be monitored using a daily diary. This study aims to provide better understanding of the potential role of Kelulut honey as a supplementary therapy in patients with juvenile open-angle glaucoma.

NCT07393828
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different interproximal oral hygiene devices for biofilm removal around posterior single dental implants in patients diagnosed with peri-implant mucositis. Peri-implant mucositis is a reversible inflammatory condition of the peri-implant soft tissues caused primarily by bacterial biofilm accumulation. Effective plaque control is essential for the prevention of disease progression to peri-implantitis. However, there is limited clinical evidence regarding the comparative effectiveness of different interproximal oral hygiene devices in implant-supported sites. A total of approximately 75 patients with posterior single implants and peri-implant mucositis will be recruited. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the study groups, each using a specific interproximal oral hygiene device as part of their daily oral hygiene regimen. All participants will receive standardized oral hygiene instructions at baseline. Clinical parameters related to peri-implant inflammation and plaque accumulation will be assessed at baseline and at follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months. The primary outcome is the reduction of peri-implant biofilm accumulation. Secondary outcomes include changes in clinical inflammatory parameters around the implants. The results of this study are expected to provide clinically relevant evidence to support evidence-based recommendations for interproximal oral hygiene in patients with dental implants affected by peri-implant mucositis.
