Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) to predict serious infectious complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Patients with colon or rectal cancer, who underwent elective laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery between November 2018 and February 2020 were included into study. Blood samples for the TREM-1 protein assay were collected from each patient four times: preoperatively and on three following postoperative days (PODs). Patients with infectious complications who formed group 1, were matched 1:1 with patients without complications (group 2). Case-matched analysis was performed by selecting patients for the control group from the group of patients paired by age, ASA scale, stage of cancer and type of surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effect of steroid therapy in patients with COVID-19 ARDS. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Differences between patients with COVID-19 ARDS before and after steroid treatment in BALF single cell landscape, as well as patients with different prognosis. - Differences between COVID-19 and non COVID-19 ARDS patients in BALF single cell landscape. Participants will Choose whether to use or not to utilize steroid treatment based on conditions.
To investigate the usage of budesonide as an agent in the injection of Type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the applicability and effectiveness of an aquatic rehabilitation training program with a conventional land-based rehabilitation program in terms of lower extremity biomechanics and knee function in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does aquatic rehabilitation accelerate the recovery of gait symmetry and muscle function in patients after ACLR？ - Previous studies have not uncovered the training characteristics of aquatic rehabilitation, which allow for training movements that cannot be performed on land, and it is unknown whether these different training movement characteristics are more effective for patients with ACLR. Participants were randomly divided into an aquatic rehabilitation group (AR) and a land-based rehabilitation group (LR), and each group performed 70-90 minutes of training per session for a total of 6 sessions. This included warm-up activities, mobility training, strength training, functional exercises, and finishing activities. Each training session was conducted 1-2 days apart, 2-3 sessions per week, and the training was completed within 2-3 weeks.
In this study, the investigators retrospectively collected DDH case data of THA assisted by AI 3D planning and THA assisted by traditional planning. The compliance between preoperative planning and the type of prosthesis used in the operation, the position of the acetabular prosthesis, the correction of LLD and the postoperative joint function score were analysed to evaluate the short-term effect of AI combined with preoperative 3D planning in THA for DDH.
Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) is characterized by persistent back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. This clinical trial aims to examine the short-term and long-term effects of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) with integrated Motivational Interviewing (MI) to a Manual Therapy (MT) program on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), back performance, disability, kinesiophobia, fear and avoidance, and catastrophizing in individuals suffering from NSCLBP. The study adopts a randomized, controlled, single-blind design, with a total of 60 participants randomly allocated to three groups. The first group will receive MT and PNE with MI, the second group will receive MT alone, and the control group (third group) will follow a home-based exercise program only. All interventions will last for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at three time points: pre-intervention, at 4 weeks, and at 6 months. The statistical analysis of the results will use a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements, and the statistical significance index will be set at p < 0.05.
This clinical study is to provide clinical performance data comparing the test lens (Deseyne [vifilcon C] daily disposable soft contact lens) to a control lens (1-Day Acuvue Moist [etafilcon A] daily disposable soft contact lens) in the same indication for use (single use prior to removal followed by a fresh lens upon the next lens wear exposure). The study is designed to test the hypothesis that the test lens is substantially equivalent to the control lens in like indications for use.
During cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) vascular congestion is the major contributor to worsening renal function, but promoting decongestion with routine clinical evaluation is ineffective in some patients. The venous evaluation by ultrasound (VExUS) may optimize its management when evaluating for improvement in kidney function and other metrics related to decongestion.
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the action of long-acting ß2-agonists (LABA-olodaterol) and muscarinic antagonists (LAMA-tiotropium) on tissue oxygenation in COPD considering their impact on proximal and peripheral ventilation and, eventually, on lung capillary volume. The hypothesis was that LABA would have a more peripheral effect than LAMA (due to the opposite gradient of their receptors) and better peripheral ventilation would result in a greater oxygenation. Before and after LABA (visit 1) and LAMA (visit 2) inhalation, COPD participants were asked to perform single-breath washout and forced oscillation tests, double diffusion technique and spirometry, while transcutaneous oxygenation was continuously recorded.
Rationale of this study is to provide an evidence on minimal safe clear fluid fasting duration without the risk of aspiration of gastric contents during elective pediatric procedures under general anesthesia.
