Filter by:The observational longitudinal study will collect wound exudate from twenty patients with venous leg ulcers. Wound exudate samples are collected using twenty-four-hour collection with polyurethane foam, bandages and the NovaSwab method. Each patient is seen four times where wound exudate and the bacteria microbiome are sampled and wound size is monitored with advanced planimetric tools.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the evaluation of a wound area and wound tissue content made by different methods on patient population with need for directed wound healing. The main question test of the concordance of the measurements between the evaluation of the area of a wound by the technique of transparent (Gold standard) compared to the evaluation of the area by the algorithm of a decision support system (WoundSize) Patient wounds will be examined: - by eye by the principal investigator - using a ruler by the principal investigator - by WoundCare algorithms (AKA WoundTrack) using smartphone photography by the principal investigator - tracing the outline of the wound using a transparent sheet by the principal investigator - by eye by a second investigator - using a ruler by a second investigator - by WoundCare (AKA WoundTrack) algorithms using smartphone photography by a second investigator. - tracing the outline of the wound using a transparent sheet by the second investigator
The purposes of this study are to compare the blood perfusion and early healing of horizontal mattress suture with vertical mattress sutures following open-flap implant surgery. Patients wanting single implant replacement in esthetic area will be recruited. This is a randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial. Noninvasive procedures will be used to assess the primary and secondary outcomes. Inclusion Criteria: With sufficient bone width (≥6mm), With mesial-distal distance over 8mm, age over 18, Willing to participate Exclusion Criteria: Patients want multiple adjacent implant replacements in esthetic area, Untreated periodontitis, Smokers, Diabetes mellitus
this study compares the ease of execution, wound healing and patient morbidity of 2 surgical blade designs.
This study will evaluate the use of free autologous dermal fat grafting (also called free dermal fat autografting) to treat complex craniofacial wounds that have failed standard treatment and to understand how well these grafts work to repair wounds long term. Patients who have undergone free autologous dermal fat grafting to treat complex craniofacial wounds less than 1 week ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted. Patients will be followed for 2 years to monitor the area that was grafted.
A randomized controlled clinical trial in two groups of supplementation with HMB and glutamine. Each group consist in 25 patients with bloody areas, one group will receive and intervention with HMB and Glutamine and the other will receive a placebo with calcium caseinate.
Periodontal disease is a gum infection caused by plaque on teeth containing both bacteria and calculus (hard) deposits. These need to be removed on a regular basis to maintain gum health and to prevent teeth weakening. A routine cleaning procedure, scaling/root planing, is accompanied with post-operative soft tissue tenderness and teeth sensitivity making oral hygiene maintenance difficult during wound healing. The need for novel therapeutic approaches, such as cyanoacrylate adhesives, has been identified. It has been hypothesized that its application may provide comfort and assist patients with their daily oral self-care procedures following teeth cleaning.
The high incidence of burn injuries and mortality and morbidity as well as the high economic impact associated with this type of injury justifying the need to develop new technologies for the treatment of burn patients. Electrical stimulation for wound healing is a resource that has been increasingly used in routine physical therapists, but has the disadvantage of needing means of wet contact between the electrode and injury. The other resource used for therapeutic healing is conventional electrical stimulation of low intensity for capacitive field, a technique of physical therapy intervention not commercially available in Brazil. This new technology seems to have significant physiological effects in tissue repair and has been used for the treatment of chronic wounds which healed with difficulty. The objective is to analyze the effects of electrical stimulation of low intensity for capacitive field in healing skin burns. Patients from both genders aged over 18 years who have burns, will be evaluated and treated at the Emergency Unit of the Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo. The stimulation will be initiated within 24 hours after surgery to perform the graft and will be held daily for 60 minutes during the patient's stay or until complete healing of the skin. The electromagnetic field will be placed on the care of the burned area and / or the donor skin graft, not interfering with departmental procedures. Will be performed photographic record standardized wound by a digital camera, and then quantified by a computer program. Expected to reduce the period of hospitalization and thus lowering the cost of treatment, and the possibility of improving the quality of life of patients.
