Enhanced Vitals Monitoring After Major Surgery Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility of an enhanced vital sign monitoring solution in-hospital and at-home. This study includes adult patients undergoing inpatient major vascular or abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare the enhanced vitals monitoring group to the standard of care group to see if it may change post-operative management and outcomes. The primary question it aims to answer is if enhanced monitoring of surgical patient vitals can increase the number of days at home alive in the first 30 days after surgery. Participants in the intervention group will test two vitals monitoring devices, one in the hospital and one at home. They will also be asked to complete several questionnaires and a follow up phone call.

Yoga in Women With Surgical Menopause After Gynecological Cancer

This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of yoga on quality of life, sleep quality, and spiritual well-being in women who have entered surgical menopause after gynecological cancer surgery. Yoga is expected to be a supportive intervention for symptom management and to improve overall well-being in this patient population.

Surgical Operating Room Enhancement Curriculum for Medical Students

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether integrating an enhanced Surgical Operating Room (OR) curriculum into the medical student program improves knowledge and proficiency in gynecologic surgical techniques and procedures among medical students at Wayne State University. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course increase medical students' knowledge and comfort with gynecologic surgical procedures? Does participation in the course improve students' clinical perceptions and management of gynecologic emergencies? Researchers will compare students who participate in the Surgical Operating Room Enrichment Course (intervention group) to those who complete the standard rotation (control group) to see if the enhanced curriculum leads to greater improvements in knowledge and clinical skills. Participants will: Attend virtual didactic lectures covering gynecologic anatomy, perioperative care, surgical techniques, and management of gynecologic emergencies Complete pre- and post-training surveys assessing knowledge, skills, and perceptions related to gynecologic surgery This study involves approximately 60 medical students, with participation being voluntary and all responses de-identified.

Acupuncture for Chronic Pelvic Pain

The objective of this study is to determine if alternative pain management strategies, namely acupuncture, may help reduce intensity of female pelvic pain compared to other pain control modalities. This research study will focus specifically on the Dragon's protocol of acupuncture which will seek to alleviate chronic non-endometriosis pelvic pain for women both with and without a history of sexual assault. This study may support evidence for an inexpensive alternative means of treatment for patients with or without traumatic sexual history and chronic pelvic pain.

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare general anesthesia VS two types of combined anesthesia in opioid consumption after laparoscopic hysterectomy

UTERINE EVALUATION FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOLOGY. This Study Will Compare the Intrauterine Pathology Detection Rate Between Standard of Care Hydrosonography, and a New Visual Saline Infusion Device Providing Direct Visualization of the Uterus.

This is a prospective, single center, multiple arm cohort study intended to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a Visual Saline Infusion Device (VSI) device, vs standard of care Hydrosonography in reproductive aged women to identify pathology in the uterus.
