Filter by:Posttraumatic stress disorder in adolescence impairs neurobiological networks underlying cognitive, social and emotional skills. Neuroimaging research that seeks to identify the neural mechanisms of treatments for PTSD could lead to novel treatments, but progress has been slow using current methods. The proposed study uses an innovative approach to identify neural mechanisms of specific phases of trauma-focused therapy for youth with PTSD, allowing a new understanding of brain changes associated with the process of therapy.
Exercise studies with patients with diabetic foot ulcers are very few. In this disease group, since it is considered dangerous to put a load on the foot, a barrier has been placed between the patients and the exercise. With the study investigators plan to do, investigators will try to exercise in these patients in a controlled manner. Among the patients divided into 3 groups, the 1st group will apply the control group, the 2nd group will perform aerobic exercise, and the 3rd group will apply the exercises investigators have determined as the protocol group. 12 weeks, 2 sessions a week will be exercised with the help of a physiotherapist. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of week 4, at the end of week 8, and at the end.
The proposed study will be a prospective trial of management of acute traumatic wounds (less than 24 hours from injury and without previous intervention aside from a dressing for coverage). The study design involves a prospective single arm, 35 subject study that analyzes the effect of the subsequent application of a novel wound cleanser and wound gel on subjects' acute traumatic wounds and the respective microbial loads over a 28 day study duration.
This is a randomized control trial aimed at learning more about LCS position and the value it provides to the patient's who have sustained upper extremity traumas.
To provide the overall quality of life (QOL), activity and participation values for adults with paediatric onset spinal cord injury (SCI), stratified by injury level, neurological status and compare it with matched controls with adults with adult-onset SCI.
Child injuries are a major public health problem . Globally, unintended injury is one of the top 15 causes of death across all age groups of children aged؛ 0-19 years, In children under the age of five, the majority of injuries occur in the home. Injuries is a health concern in every country around the world, affecting both developed and developing countries, causing over 5.8 million deaths per year or 15,000 deaths per day . A WHO surveillance study conducted in four developing countries showed that Egypt had a prevalence of 32 % of childhood injuries which was the highest one . The home is the place where children spend most of their time, the home environment is the most common place for childhood injuries
We will Choose patients with tooth loosening caused by tooth trauma and requiring fix in the department of Pediatric Dentistry and emergency of Stomatology Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from July 2022 to May 2025. These patients will be randomly divided into digital impression module (experimental group) and ordinary impression group (control group).The operation time, comfort index and efficacy index of the two groups were compared to investigate the advantages of digital impressions in the application of traumatic dental injuries in children.
There are studies reporting that the survival rate in pediatric patients with abnormal pupillary response is 23% and that pupillary response is effective on mortality and patient outcomes. Studies in the literature examining the effect of pupillary response on mortality and outcome in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury reported that bilaterally dilated pupils were associated with a higher mortality rate. Considering the literature results, we believe that obtaining the GCS-Pupil score by combining GCS and pupillary reaction in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury will be effective in predicting patient outcomes.
Introduction: Trauma accounts for nearly 10% of the global burden of disease. Several trauma life support programs aim to improve trauma outcomes. There is no evidence from controlled trials to show the effect of these programs on patient outcomes. We describe the protocol of a pilot study that aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a cluster randomised controlled trial comparing Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and Primary Trauma Care (PTC) with standard care. Methods and analysis: We will pilot a pragmatic three-armed parallel, cluster randomised, controlled trial in India, where neither of these programs are routinely taught. We will recruit tertiary hospitals and include trauma patients and residents managing these patients. Two hospitals will be randomised to ATLS, two to PTC, and two to standard care. The primary outcome will be all cause mortality at 30 days from the time of arrival to the emergency department. Our secondary outcomes will include patient, provider, and process measures. All outcomes except time to event outcomes will be measured both as final values as well as change from baseline. We will compare outcomes in three combinations of trial arms: ATLS versus PTC, ATLS versus standard care, and PTC versus standard care using absolute and relative differences along with associated confidence intervals. We will conduct subgroup analyses across the clinical subgroups men, women, blunt multisystem trauma, penetrating trauma, shock, severe traumatic brain injury, and elderly. In parallel to the pilot study we will conduct community consultations to inform the planning of the full-scale trial.
In the context of prescribed opioids, research suggests that increased exposure is associated with long-term opioid use. Orthopedic surgeries are associated with the prescribing of more opioid narcotics than any other surgical specialty, particularly for Total Knee Replacement surgery, which is associated with severe post-operative pain. The proposed project is a randomized clinical trial to explore the efficacy of our Total Knee Replacement Opioid Reduction Program (ORP) vs. Treatment As Usual (TAU) in the reduction of opioid use following total knee replacement surgery.
