Filter by:Comparison of two groups of subjets (ACL injury who return to sport) and control group non-injured about clinical and biomechanical data : - clinical test - functional test - motion analysis of 2 sport exercises - tibial translation - isokinetic evaluation
Intervention - Subjects will be randomized to 2 groups Group A - subjects will receive Prednisolone for 20 days with NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) Group B - will receive NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) only NAC (N-acetylcysteine) dosing Loading dose: 150 mg/kg IV; mix in 200 mL of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) and infuse over 1 hour Dose 2: 50 mg/kg IV in 500 mL D5W over 4 h Dose 3: 100 mg/kg IV in 1000 mL D5W over 16 h - Monitoring and assessment-Liver Biopsy at baseline and at 3 months, Liver Function Test at regular intervals. - Stopping rule-Development of sepsis, worsening of Liver functions.
The purpose of this study is to collect physiologic data from patients with severe brain injury who require mechanical ventilation in order to describe the impact of ventilation, specifically positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), on intracranial pressure (ICP).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of VX-210 in subjects with Acute Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury. Secondary objectives include the specific evaluation of the effects of VX-210 on neurological recovery and daily function after spinal cord injury.
The purpose of the study is to determine if patients wearing a CAM walker boot have a change in weight compared to patients who wear a CAM boot and are provided nutritional and upper body exercise information.
St. Michael's Hospital (SMH) provides service to individuals with some of the most severe brain injuries and intensive care needs in Canada. These patients often require prolonged intensive care admissions, lengthy hospital stays, involvement of many health professionals, and long-term support for ongoing care requirements. Many hospitals face resource limitations, specifically involving the health disciplines and their ability to provide frequent intervention. It has been proposed that multisensory stimulation (i.e. exposing the patient to various sights, sounds, smells, etc.) in the early stages of brain injury recovery may result in improved responsiveness/cognitive function. Previous research has indicated a potential benefit for early multisensory stimulation intervention for patients with severe brain injury. However there is still not enough conclusive evidence to confirm whether the intervention is truly effective. The investigators are proposing a pilot randomized controlled study (placebo-controlled, double-blinded) to determine the feasibility and examine the effectiveness of early multisensory stimulation with patients following severe brain injury who remain in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state. Eligible patients will be randomized to a control group (standard care + family/caregiver education) or an intervention group (standard care + family/caregiver education + early sensory intervention). Data regarding number of patients enrolled, amount of intervention completed, percentage of outcome data collected, patient's level of responsiveness and cognitive function will be collected before and after the intervention period, using several outcome measures. The investigators hope to determine the feasibility of conducting this type of study within this clinical setting and the effectiveness of multisensory stimulation with this patient population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if applying a lidocaine topical solution before wounds treatment decreases the pain of the procedure in comparison with placebo solution.
The purpose of this retrospective-prospective clinical evaluation is to determine whether the SLIC Screw System provides provisional fixation to allow biological healing of the scapholunate interval.
Proximal interphalangeal joint injuries of the fingers may be treated in various ways and no treatment has been shown to be superior. The investigators wish to study the effectiveness of syndactyly versus digital splint when comparing joint mobility. The investigators also wish to study the effectiveness of finger compression in reducing edema and therefore allowing a greater arc of motion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using oral Glyburide in patients with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries (SCI).
