Researchers are evaluating the safety, feasibility, and initial effectiveness of using expanded allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (HC106) to treat urinary incontinence in women over 50 years old. This phase I controlled trial aims to provide proof of concept and preliminary efficacy data by comparing the stem cell treatment to a saline placebo control group. The study focuses on women diagnosed with genuine or mixed stress urinary incontinence who have not responded to or refused rehabilitative or surgical treatments. Participants are divided into two groups: one receiving a single dose of 40 million HC106 cells and the other receiving a placebo saline solution. The treatment involves anesthesia, identification of the urinary sphincter area through cystoscopy, and injection of the cell suspension or placebo at two specific points around the sphincter. The injection is shallow to create a visible wheal, and any remaining cells or materials are properly discarded following hospital waste procedures. Throughout the study, patients will be monitored for complications and safety within 7 days following treatment. Researchers will assess the proportion of patients experiencing any treatment-related complications. Participants must provide informed consent and undergo urine cultures to ensure no active infection at enrollment. The overall study duration and additional long-term follow-up details are not specified but safety and initial efficacy outcomes will be closely observed during the trial period.

Researchers are comparing two surgical methods, anterior and posterior white line advancement, to treat primary aponeurotic ptosis in adults. This trial aims to determine whether the anterior approach improves eyelid position, measured by Marginal Reflex Distance 1 (MRD1), more than the posterior approach at 6 months. The study also examines differences in eyelid symmetry, contour, vision, tear function, and patient satisfaction between the two techniques. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either anterior or posterior white line advancement surgery. The anterior technique involves a skin crease incision and suturing the white line to the front of the tarsus, while the posterior technique uses a conjunctival incision without a skin cut to advance the white line. Both methods use absorbable sutures to reposition the eyelid structures and aim to improve eyelid height and contour. Participants will be evaluated before surgery and at 7 days, 2 months, and 6 months after the procedure. Assessments include eyelid position and symmetry measurements, vision and tear film tests such as TBUT and Schirmer's test, and patient surveys on dry eye symptoms, scar quality, satisfaction, and psychosocial function. Standardized photographs will document eyelid contour, and surgical time and complications will be recorded. The main outcome is the change in MRD1 from baseline to 6 months post-surgery, with ongoing monitoring for safety and patient-reported results.

Researchers are collecting detailed information about patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes blood clots in veins such as deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The project aims to improve doctors' understanding of VTE, especially in patients often excluded from clinical trials, like pregnant women, elderly individuals, cancer patients, and those with other complex health issues. The goal is to reduce deaths, clot recurrence, bleeding problems, and artery-related events by sharing this knowledge widely. The study involves gathering extensive data on each patient's health status, treatments, and outcomes during the first three months of therapy. This registry is available online to help doctors quickly find information on patients with similar medical profiles and make informed decisions about managing high-risk individuals. There are no specific interventions being tested; instead, the focus is on collecting real-world patient data. Participants provide informed consent and are followed for at least three years to monitor for new clot events and complications. Researchers track recurrences of VTE, bleeding episodes, and deaths, aiming to create tools that predict which patients are most at risk for problems. This ongoing data collection supports improving care and guiding treatment decisions for diverse patient groups over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of remote monitoring for cancer patients who are receiving outpatient oral cancer treatment. This study aims to determine if using a self-management software platform called Caaring® can empower patients during their illness and reduce the number of in-person and telephone visits with specialized medical and nursing staff. The study is designed as a randomized trial with two groups to compare the outcomes. Participants are divided into two groups: one group will use the Caaring® software for remote monitoring, where they will confidentially enter data and complete questionnaires on their smartphones. This group will also receive educational and prevention recommendations related to cancer. The second group will be followed through their routine medical visits without remote monitoring for 12 weeks after enrollment. Participants will be involved for 12 weeks during which adherence to their prescribed cancer treatment will be measured. Researchers will collect data through the software and routine visits, assessing treatment adherence rates, and monitoring patient progress. The study also involves evaluating participants' technological skills to use the smartphone application and ensuring safety and routine follow-up throughout the study period.

This trial is a post-market, Phase IV, randomized, controlled, and blinded multicenter study focused on patients with Essential Tremor who have previously undergone unilateral Exablate thalamotomy. It aims to evaluate the added benefit of staged bilateral Exablate thalamotomy compared to patients continuing with their previous unilateral treatment combined with local standard medical care. The study measures how the bilateral procedure affects tremor reduction, functional impairment, quality of life, adverse events, and patients' overall perception of treatment. Participants assigned to the treatment group will receive staged bilateral Exablate thalamotomy, while those in the control group will continue with local standard medical treatment after their previous unilateral Exablate thalamotomy. The study observes the impact of these treatments over a period of 6 months, focusing on tremor severity and safety outcomes related to adverse events. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including tremor evaluation using the Treated Upper Limb Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) at 6 months. Other evaluations involve imaging scans such as CT and MRI before treatment, communication during procedures, and monitoring for adverse events. Participants must be able to complete all required assessments and remain in the study for at least 6 months to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are comparing two types of blades used with videolaryngoscopes to see which is better for first-attempt tracheal intubation in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). This study focuses on critically ill patients who need intubation and aims to find out if the hyperangulated blade improves the success rate compared to the Macintosh blade, which is more similar to traditional laryngoscopy blades. The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial designed to provide clarity on the best blade choice during ICU intubations. Participants will be randomly assigned to have their tracheal intubation performed using either a hyperangulated videolaryngoscope blade or a Macintosh videolaryngoscope blade during their first attempt. Both groups use videolaryngoscopy as the device for intubation, but differ in the blade type. The study evaluates the success of intubation on the first try using these different blades. During the study, researchers will monitor the intubation process to measure the percentage of successful first attempts. They will also track any complications or difficulties related to intubation. The study includes adult ICU patients from 18 to 90 years old who require intubation. Data on intubation success and related outcomes will help determine which blade offers better airway management in critically ill patients.
