Postoperative incision complications and surgical site infections are risks for patients undergoing surgery. While most surgical incisions heal without complications, postoperative complications, such as erythema, blistering, maceration, scarring, necrosis, and infection, interfere with the normal

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging will be used to assess the impact of a common colds and physical training in high-performing athletes. Healthy individuals from the general public will serve as a comparison group. CMR has previously been shown to accurately assess cardiac function,

1.0 Purpose: To perform a randomized controlled trial to determine if topical tacrolimus ointment reduces incidence or severity of post-operative facial edema and malar bags after elective blepharoplasty and/or facelift. 2.0 Hypothesis: Topical tacrolimus will reduce the incidence and severity of

This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing subthreshold micropulse laser versus sham laser treatment for eyes with diabetic macular edema with good visual acuity of 20/32 or better. Subjects will be randomized to receive either subthreshold micropulse laser treatment or no treatment

Eustachian tube dysfunction is one of the most common problems encountered in general otolaryngology clinical practice. Symptoms of ear pressure, decreased hearing, ear pain, ear popping, and frequent ear infections are often blamed on the inability of the Eustachian tube to equalize air pressure

To evaluate the effect of adding continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) to standard medical therapy (ST) on intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital stay, mortality, need for endotracheal intubation, partial arterial O2 tension (PaO2), intrapulmonary

BACKGROUND: Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy. Plaque radiation (brachytherapy) has emerged as the most common treatment in the current management of uveal melanoma, but is complicated by visual loss in close to 70% of patients at 10 years follow-up. Strategies for the

XERECEPT® is not a potential treatment for cancer, but may reduce the edema associated with tumors and as a result, decrease neurological symptoms.
