Filter by:The aim of this study is to develop a 4D-CT (4 Dimensional Computed Tomography) -scan acquisition method for estimating the cause of posttraumatic impairment of the forearm. Both forearms of patients with posttraumatic impairment of one of the forearm will be scanned using a 4D-CT-scan, during forearm rotation. Rotation of impaired and healthy forearms will be analysed and compared to each other. This method is intended to allow differentiation of motion patterns reflecting an osseous impairment from those caused by soft tissue pathology in order to improve treatment choice.
To examine patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) before and after septal alcohol ablation, to investigate the effect of the treatment in regards to changes in myocardial function, perfusion, invasive hemodynamics and exercise tolerance.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate intraoperative percutaneous lung lesion marking assisted by electromagnetic guided percutaneous navigation and related tools.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment of children with acute bacterial infection disease with Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium for Injection in the condition of widely used, and provide the basis of adjusting the dosage regimen for children in particular.
Effects of Wheat-based diet vs. ATI-free diet on NASH
Cardiac resynchronization therapy reduces mortality in patients with systolic heart failure and left bundle branch block. Reduced biventricular pacing can lead to therapy failure. Most effective mortality reduction was seen with a BiV pacing above 98%. Reduced BiV pacing is a common phenomenon with potential impact on CRT-response and pts' prognosis. Frequent ventricular ectopy may be associated with attenuated benefit from CRT. The investigators sought to systematically assess the effect of ventricular arrhythmia treatment on BiV pacing.
The main aims of the study are to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of single doses of RV521 administered as two different formulations
In this study, we compare the conventional laryngeal handshake technique and modified laryngeal handshake technique for locating the cricothyroid membrane in terms of accuracy and speed. The conventional laryngeal handshake technique is performed with the non-dominant hand, identifying the hyoid bone and thyroid laminae, stabilizing the larynx between thumb and middle finger, and moving down the neck to palpate the cricothyroid membrane with the index finger. The modified laryngeal handshake is performed with the non-dominant hand, stabilizing the trachea between thumb and middle finger from the suprasternal notch and moving up the neck to palate the cricoid cartilage and cricothyroid membrane with the index finger.
A single arm study of 40 adult volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of the ivWatch SmartTouch and fiber optic sensors when observing non-infiltrated (normal) tissues at common peripheral IV therapy sites.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a non-progressive lesion of the developing foetal or infant brain and causes variety of motor, sensory and cognitive impairments. Hemiplegic CP is the most common type of CP in term infants, involving one half of the body. In these individuals, muscle tone is reduced, and there is an inability to perform quality upper extremity movements due to increased muscle tone, increased reflexes, weakness in antagonist muscles. Due to spasticity upper extremity is present in shoulder adduction and internal rotation, elbow flexion and pronation, wrist and fingers flexed and thumb in palm position. Spontaneous movements of the upper extremity are decreased and abnormal. These individuals have a reduced upper extremity function ranging from mild incompetence to almost no use of the hand. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is designed to improve the function of the most affected limb by restricting the use of the less affected limb in individuals with unilateral upper extremity involvement and implementing an intensive motor learning-based training program. In pediatric subjects, modified CIMT (mCIMT), which is called a 'child-friendly technique', has been applied, which shows some differences from the form of CIMT in adults. In mCIMT, the restriction time was reduced, activities with the child were performed within a play frame, in the environment in which the child was accustomed, and restriction methods such as gloves, splint, sling were used. In the literature CIMT has been used mainly in children with hemiplegic CP in the pediatric population. However, there are many studies in the literature evaluating the efficacy of mCIMT in individuals with hemiplegic CP and showing beneficial effects on upper extremity speed and skills, and the duration of application restriction varies considerably. The aim of the investigator's study was to determine the effect of consecutive or intermittent implementation of mCIMT on upper extremity function in children with hemiplegic CP. Thus, it will be determined whether the modification of the duration of administration in the pediatric population varies in treatment results.
