Filter by:The objectives of this study are to determine whether Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) with oXiris in patients with septic shock would improve clinical outcomes such as the sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) , hemodynamic, mortality compared CRRT with conventional membrane.
Cyanoacrylate is used in the manufacturing of surgical adhesives, nail glue and super glue. After contact with cotton or wool, among other substances, a reaction is ignited, inflicting thermal damage to the skin underlying clothes. Nine papers have been published about such an incidence, majority of which involve children. In this paper, a four-year-old girl suffering from mixed-first-and-second degree burns due to cyanoacrylate spillage over the digits, anterior aspect of the right thigh and a patch of the skin on the left upper abdomen, spanning 4% of the total body surface area. The clothes were forcefully removed by the mother and shampoo was applied over the area. In the ER, irrigation with normal saline was done followed by dressing with paraffin- impregnated gauzes and silver sulfadiazine. Volar slabs were placed on the hands. The dressing in the hands was later changed to fusidic acid as the burn healed. Silicone sheet dressing was initiated twenty-eight days later after complete healing of the burned skin. An experiment conducted by the authors showed no difference in the pH of different cyanoacrylate products. The pH was not changed after applying shampoo over the nail glue immersed dip-stick. This paper aims to improve awareness about proper first-aid management which predicts the quality of the outcome. Further emphasis is required on providing a safe environment for the children and clear, comprehendible warning of hazards on the label of the cyanoacrylate based-products.
This clinical study was designed to support the dose selection for future studies by evaluating efficacy and safety of different QBW251 doses in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic bronchitis and a history of exacerbations, compared to placebo, when added to a triple inhaled therapy of LABA, LAMA and ICS.
NODE-303 was a multi-center, open label study to evaluate the safety of etripamil NS in participants with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). Participants were provided with an ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring System (CMS) to help document PSVT episodes. The CMS was self-applied by the participant, when they felt the onset of PSVT symptoms. Participants self-administered etripamil NS if vagal maneuver was ineffective. After an episode of PSVT where study drug was administered, the participant returned to the investigative site and had the option to continue in NODE-303 and manage up to three subsequent episodes of PSVT with etripamil NS for a maximum of four episodes.
The purpose of this study is to comprehend the association between the trigger digit and carpal tunnel syndrome based on the quantification of the tendon and nerve characteristics. It includes three parts. The first part is an observational study. The aim of the first part is to attempts to measure the gliding and morphological characteristics of the flexor tendons and median nerve in the longitudinal or cross-sectional directions via the ultrasonographical images incorporating with the motion capture experiment of the wrist and fingers. The gliding and morphological features of the tendons and nerve will be compared under different postures or movement patterns of the wrist and hand. The second part is an interventional study. The aim of the first part is to establishes a novel hybrid rehabilitation protocol which combines the tendon gliding exercise with nerve mobilization to treat either the trigger digit or the carpal tunnel syndrome. A randomized controlled trial to investigate the short-term treatment effect and the follow-up examination will be carried out as well. The third part is an observational study. The aim of the first part is to investigate the effects of carpal tunnel release on the hand performances from functional perspectives. In addition, a novel wrist orthosis will be developed to eliminate the bowstringing effect of the flexor tendons after carpal tunnel release.
This is a Phase Ib study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Sintilimab combined with IBI305 in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in China.
Breast milk is an optimal source of nutrients for newborns as well as a potential source of bacteria for the intestinal microbiota. However, there are limited number of studies evaluating the relationship between maternal nutrition, breast milk and neonatal intestinal microbiota.
This phase II trial studies how well trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan work in treating patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and has not responded to treatment (refractory). Trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This study will explore the effects of meditative movement on body composition in a group of 60 midlife women. Women will participate in 30-minute meditative movement (MM) classes for an eight-week period. Participants will be encouraged to practice MM at home for at least 30 minutes most days per week. Participants will be asked to complete a log of their time spent doing meditative movement outside of classes.
Despite advances in surgery and rehabilitation, the return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery remains a major challenge. challenge. Among the objective criteria retained, the isokinetic muscle strength assessment is an increasingly practiced evaluation and it is recommended to carry out follow-ups at 3-4 months (intermediate) and at 6-8 months (final) after surgery. However, the factors associated with muscle imbalance are uncertain and the threshold values of the intermediate isokinetic strength test (3-4 months) are inconsistent. In a retrospective analysis, the investigators aim to assess the predictive criteria for muscle imbalance after ACL reconstruction surgery.
