Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the perioperative use of Arnica Montana and the combined use of Arnica Montana and Bromelain in aiding the body's wound healing functions during the postoperative period after rhinoplasty. The secondary objective of the study is to determine if there is a reduction in postoperative edema when Arnica Montana and Bromelain are combined. Another secondary objective is to demonstrate increased patient satisfaction with the use of Arnica Montana and the combination Arnica Montana and Bromelain.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide versus normal saline in postoperative care of sutured wounds. Subjects will be randomly assigned to standard of care hydrogen peroxide or standard of care normal saline in postoperative care of sutured wounds followed by applying petroleum jelly and sterile gauze bandage. Data will be collected at day 0 and between days 7 to14. Subjects will provide irritation scale rating (0-4) with 0 being none/absent and 4 being severe/extreme.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of an oxygen producing gel (produced by combining baking soda and hydrogen peroxide) and see what effects (good and bad) it has on skin incisions in children. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but have not been approved for use in this manner. It is hypothesized that a combination of sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide may enhance wound healing of incisional wounds for bilateral hernia repair.
This study is designed to determine the response of adult stems cells, also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to tissue injury resulting from thermal burns. The study will consist of a one time collection of a patient's blood, about one teaspoon, on the third day following the initial burn. MSCs in the blood will then be quantitated and identified using according to unique proteins found on their cell surface using flow cytometry. The results of flow cytometry analysis will then be compared to the patients characteristics (age, sex, race, etc.), their past medical history (hx of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc.) and to the patient outcome (length of hospital stay, mortality, etc.).
