Filter by:Major trauma can lead to a dysregulated response to secondary infection. Severe injuries are accompanied by pro- and antiinflammatory changes that affect both adaptive and innate immunity. In this study we aim to assess cellular immuno-competence early during treatment in an attempt to identify signs of immuno-suppression.
This was a multicenter randomized controlled study of 98 severe Traumatic Brain Injury patients with tracheostomy. Patients enrolled were divided randomly into the observation group with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding (n=50) or the control group with Nasogastric tube feeding (n=48) for enteral nutrition support, respectively. Nutritional status, complications, decannulation of tracheostomy tubes and level of consciousness on day 1 and day 28 were recorded and compared.
Retrospective, multicenter cohort study describing the biological, radiological and clinical criteria of patients managed for isolated severe head trauma between January 2016 and December 2018.

Researchers aim to determine whether the ReTrieve system for tactile training can improve tactile function (sense of touch) in the hand after brain injury when used at home for 6 weeks.
The project will consist of subjects who have suffered Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and who are able to ambulate on treadmill with or without a harness system. This will be a 4-week controlled study consisting of two groups of TBI patients, high-intensity intervention group and low-intensity control group. Both groups will receive physical therapy treatment 3 times per week for 1 hour. The intervention group will undergo 30-minute sessions of high-intensity walking on a treadmill with an overhead harness attached for safety. In addition, they will also get up to 30-minutes of low-intensity physical therapy in order to receive 1 hour of treatment time. The control group will undergo only low-intensity physical therapy activities for 1-hour. Low-intensity physical therapy will include strength exercises, stretches, balance, and low-intensity gait training. All participants in both groups will complete these outcome measures on the first day of the study, after 2 weeks of participation, and again at the end of 4 weeks or on their last day before discharge from Carilion's services. Later on, all participants in both groups will be followed up to complete the same set of outcome measures at the end of 1 month since completion of the protocol. This follow up session will take up to 45 minutes to complete.
Study population The investigator set the sample size to 200 patients. Primary outcome - Diagnostic accuracy of ultrahigh field MRI (T7) compared to high field MRI (T3 or less) for detection of meniscal injuries associated with acute ACL injury Secondary outcome - Influence of 1) Location of injury and 2) meniscal tear pattern (modified WORMS18,19) on the sensitivity of high field MRI compared to ultrahigh field MRI for detection of meniscal tears
The main objective of this interdisciplinary study is to develop an understanding of the molecular imaging features of blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in military personnel, while helping to establish assessment tools that may be of use in diagnosis, determining prognosis, and in future therapeutic clinical trials. Additionally, the objective is to evaluate feasibility of [18F]PI-2620 in the assessment TBI.
Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fespixon Cream for the Treatment of Pressure Injury in Sacrum and Greater Trochanter Wound
This is a prospective, multi-center, open label study evaluating the performance of PICO14 NPWT in the management of chronic open wounds (pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetes related foot ulcers), dehisced surgical wounds and closed surgical incisions. The study comprises the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) for a new variant of an established product. PICO 14 is based on another dressing called PICO. The primary objective is to evaluate functional performance of PICO 14 through verification of delivery of negative pressure and wound exudate management.
