There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Aortic occlusion (AO) for trauma has traditionally been accomplished by supra-diaphragmatic clamping of the descending thoracic aorta via emergent thoracotomy or as an initial step during laparotomy.
The purpose of this study is to examine how Transcutaneous Vibratory Stimulation (TVS) produced by the Apollo wearable affects sleep and cardiovascular function in a diverse real-world population of Apollo users.
A randomized controlled study will be conducted, with two arms. Postpartum women experiencing urinary retention will be randomized into one of the two following arms: - Arm 1: Subjects will be exposed to vapor of peppermint oil - Arm 2: Subjects will be exposed to vapor of placebo (mineral oil) Outcome variables include resolution of urinary retention, time to spontaneous urination, volume of spontaneous urination, frequency of urinary catheterization, and patient satisfaction.
This proposed project will determine the effectiveness of Health for Hearts United Collaborative (HHUC) implementation strategies in relation to process outcomes and reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in African Americans (AAs),examining two possible strategies.
A prospective, multicenter post-market clinical follow-up study to evaluate the 10-year long-term safety and effectiveness of the Simplify Disc in subjects who were enrolled in the post approval study (NCT04630626).
This study primarily aims to examine how food presented in various forms (i.e., solid, semi-solid, and liquid) affects children's ability to self-regulate energy intake at a subsequent meal. Additionally, this study aims to examine how several child-level individual differences are associated with differences in various aspects of children's appetite self-regulation. The investigators will recruit 78 children between the ages of 4.5-6 years in order to test the primary hypothesis that energy presented in a liquid form will elicit poorer self-regulation than solid and semi-solid food forms.
The purpose of this retrospective-prospective study is to evaluate lesions after treatment for BCC or SCC NMSC in order to gain a better understanding of the durability of the treatment, and risk of late toxicities for this patient population.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether sauna use after active-duty firefighting is effective in reducing exposure to certain harmful chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are found in soot and several types are known to be carcinogens. This study is a cross-sectional pilot study that will be performed in active-duty firefighters. The firefighters will be subdivided into those who will use a sauna immediately after fighting a fire versus those who will not, the latter of which will serve as a metabolism control group. There will thus be two comparison groups within the study: 1) active-duty firefighters using a sauna after fire suppression (sauna group); 2) active-duty firefighters not using a sauna after fire suppression (metabolism control).
This pragmatic clinical trial is being conducted to test the effectiveness of I-SITE (Implementation for Sustained Impact in Teleophthalmology), an implementation program to sustain increased diabetic eye screening rates using teleophthalmology in rural, multi-payer health systems. Up to 10 rural health systems providing teleophthalmology to 10,000 patients with diabetes and 100 clinical care personnel participating in the I-SITE intervention will be enrolled for up to 48 months.
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following arthroplasty. An utmost effort has been done to clarify risk factors and microbiology of PJI. We now know the most frequent infecting microorganisms are members of the skin microbiome. These microorganisms are thought to get into the joint and infect the prosthesis during the peri-operative and/or post-operative period. Nevertheless, recent studies have suggested, bacteria may be present in the joint even before the first incision, suggesting the existence of a joint microbiome. Therefore, we aimed to determine the bacterial composition from different knee conditions.
