Filter by:This study evaluate the Smart System of Disease Management（SSDM）to improve the treat-to-target(T2T) and the safety of drug in the treatment of rheumatoid(RA). All participants will be randomized in the SSDM group and the control group. The patients in the SSDM group will use the SSDM every month and the control group will receive the conventional therapy.
Differentiating between septic arthritis and other causes of joint inflammation in pediatric patients is challenging and of the utmost importance because septic arthritis requires surgical debridement as part of the treatment regimen. The current gold standard to diagnose septic arthritis in children is a positive synovial fluid culture; however, joint cultures may take several days to return. If a bacterial infection is present, it requires immediate surgical intervention in order to prevent lasting articular cartilage damage. Frequently surgeons must decide whether to surgically debride a joint before culture results are available. There is no single lab test or clinical feature that reliably indicates bacterial infection over other causes of joint inflammation. The alpha-defensin assay has shown high sensitivity and specificity for joint infection in other studies.The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of several synovial biomarkers for diagnosing pediatric septic arthritis.
The objectives of this single site, randomized, crossover study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interactions between aspirin, NSAIDs and Coxibs with respect to platelet function, biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial function.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel dynamic compression intramedullary nail for tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis.
The purpose of this study is to develop a French language version of the Compliance-Questionnaire-Rheumatology for use in French and Francophone rheumatology services
The goal of treating patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to achieve remission or low disease activity and thereby prevent joint damage, loss of physical function, and disability. Optimal management requires regular assessment of disease activity, with treatment changes made as needed for optimal efficacy. Vectra is a blood serum test that looks at 12 biomarkers and produces a score on a scale of 1 to 100. The Vectra score has been shown to be the strongest predictor of risk for progression of disease. There is opportunity to gain more information about the utility of Vectra in a real-world clinical setting. This study will, therefore, evaluate the utility of Vectra for guiding treatment decisions and improving RA-related outcomes in comparison with usual care, which will not include Vectra testing. This study will enable a direct evaluation of the clinical benefit associated with using Vectra to guide treatment decisions in patients with RA.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled post-market clinical follow-up study. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the A.L.P.S. Proximal Humerus Plating System applied in proximal humerus fracture treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between the lungs and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Additionally, to understand why RA patients get lung disease, how to treat, and prevent the disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of action on target tissue level of ustekinumab treatment in psoriatic arthritis patients. Patients who are planning to start treatment with anti-p40 therapy (ustekinumab) will be included in the trial. At week 0, 12 and 24 peripheral blood, synovial tissue and skin will be obtained and analysed with different techniques to assess the effect of the therapy on inflammatory pathways.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the Corin Optimised Positioning System (Corin, U.K.) reduces the rate of hip dislocation at one-year post-operatively compared with standard templating in patients undergoing total hip replacement. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine whether the Corin Optimised Positioning System (Corin, U.K.) improves functional outcomes, reduces length of hospital stay, and reduces leg length discrepancy compared with standard templating in patients undergoing total hip replacement.
