Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure the mechanical properties of the tendon after conservative treated Achilles tendon ruptures with or without early controlled loading. This is done in a randomized trial and the mechanical properties are measured using roentgen stereometric analysis (RSA). The hypothesis is that early weightbearing improves mechanical properties of conservative treated Achilles tendon ruptures without causing elongation of the tendon.
This research presents a randomized clinical trial which evaluates the effectiveness of an exercise protocol on the knee-joint repositioning in futsal players related to a post-match muscle fatigue. Our hypothesis is the improvement of sensation in a knee in joint position before and after the match when performing our exercise program.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether circulatory management based on LiDCOrapid hemodynamic monitoring can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy when compared with routine circulatory management based on blood pressure and urine output monitoring
Vacuum-assisted dressings (V-AD) are effective in treating patients with open chest wounds (OCW) and will decrease the time-to-closure of such wounds when compared to a historical cohort of patients managed by traditional wound care management.
The goal of the project is to study whether multidisciplinary follow- up performed via telemedicine to the patient in his or her own home, will improve the healthcare services offered to a particular group of patients. The hypotheses are that this could increase the treatment options, increase knowledge translation, give significant socioeconomic benefits, and allow greater accessibility to specialized healthcare services, as well as increase the involvement of patients and those working in primary healthcare.
Adipose Tissue Extract (ATE) has been found to be an autologous source of growth factors with proven in vitro angiogenic and adipogenic properties.It is obtained by a simple lipoaspirate procedure. We sought to compare the effect of ATE with another known source, platelet-rich plasma to compare the wound healing characteristics on skin graft donor sites.
Background: Free gingival graft (FGG) is used to increase keratinized tissue dimensions. This prospective clinical trial was conducted aiming to determine whether the addition of an autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) would improve soft tissue healing of donor sites and decrease pain scores. Methods: Twenty four patients were planned to receive FGG to augment keratinized tissue dimensions in the mandibular incisors area. Donor sites were assigned randomly to receive PRF or not by a flip of a coin during the screening visit. Patients were instructed to complete a pain study form. The palatal donor area were evaluated for complete wound healing records. These data were assessed and recorded before surgery, and 1,2,3,4 and 8 weeks postoperatively.
This study evaluates the efficacy of an infusion of Ronopterin (VAS203) on clinical outcome in patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. Half of the participants will receive Ronopterin (VAS203), while the other half will receive placebo.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common, serious and expensive.It is associated with significant mortality, morbidity and increased length of hospital stay.To improve clinical outcomes of AKI by early detection and timely referral to the renal,the investigators developed an electronic alert system which identifies all cases of AKI occurring in patients over 18 years.The system was also designed to collect data on AKI incidence one of the biggest tertiary hospital in China.
The overall aim of this project is to gain an in-depth understanding of the epidemiology of sports-related injuries and illnesses in parasport in order to assist the identification and development of specific injury prevention strategies adapted to parasport.
