Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine if ibuprofen prior to exercise in the heat worsens biomarkers of acute kidney injury. Participants were given 600mg of ibuprofen or placebo (corn starch) 12- and 1-hour prior to running for 1-hour in a hot environment (35°C) at moderate intensity. Urine, plasma, and serum samples were collected pre-, post-, and 1hour post-exercise to assess biomarkers of acute kidney injury. This was a double blind, randomized crossover design, so that participants completed the alternate trial (ibuprofen or placebo) at least seven days later.
Different approaches are used to reduce post-operative complications associated with the palatal wound site after free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of L-PRF and A-PRF on palatal wound healing after free gingival graft harvesting and patients' quality of life.
The goal of this observational study is to validate a risk prediction model developed for unsuccessful elbow flexion recovery after nerve transfer surgery in patients with brachial plexus injury. The main question it aims to answer is how well a risk prediction model perform in a different dataset, which are patients with brachial plexus injury who underwent surgery in a different time period or a different hospital.
The aim of the study is to compare emergency orthopedic trauma admissions between the pre-pandemic period and the pandemic period and to detect changes in orthopedic trauma epidemiology.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the presentation, treatment, and outcomes in patients suffering traumatic pancreatic injuries from blunt or penetrating trauma. The questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does a statistically significant association exist between pancreatic injury grade and the following individual factors: - Mortality - Morbidity - Injury severity score 2. Is there an association between post-operative pancreatic complications and operation-specific intervention? 3. Does pancreatic injury score correlate with certain intra-abdominal organ injuries? Participants meeting criteria are greater than 18 years old, with no history of pancreatic surgery who were hospitalized at Kern Medical Center after presenting to the institution's emergency department as tier 1 or 2 trauma activations following blunt or penetrating abdominal injury and were diagnosed with pancreatic injury during the same hospitalization.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the wound healing in the participants who underwent the clean surgical procedure, by applying honey dressing and common Iodine solution dressing, participants will have no other co-morbidities like Diabetes, Anemia, etc. which can make the results biased. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the iodine solutions are enough to counter the infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria? - What is the efficacy and efficiency of honey dressing in wound care? Participants will be tasked to - Ensure strict follow-up in the hospital dressing room - Half of the participants will apply common iodine solution dressing and the other half will be applied honey dressing. Researchers will compare Iodine dressing (Control group) with Honey dressing (Experimental group) to see if Honey dressing is better in the prevention of post-surgery wound infection and if it is cost-efficient and its efficacy.
This clinical trial will evaluate Renastart formula effectiveness in children with acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute on top of chronic kidney disease (CKD), in maintaining normal serum electrolytes levels without using electrolyte binders,24 patients will be recruited from Pediatric Nephrology Unit (PNU), Children's Hospital, Ain Shams University, they will be assigned randomly in to two arms, arm 1 including patients who will be treated by electrolytes binders, arm 2 including patients who will be treated by Renastart formula, after initial assessment serum electrolyte evaluation will be followed up monthly for 3 months.
Introduction: Musculoskeletal problems in the upper limb (UL) caused by nerve damage following Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury (OBPI) and disorders affecting the use of the UL can limit activities of daily living (ADLs) and limit the child's participation in school and society. Method: Twenty-six children with OBPY aged between 6-17 years participated in the study and were randomised AOT and Photo Observation (PO) groups in equal numbers by stratified randomisation. In the 15-session treatment, a total of 18 ADL activities related to personal care, dressing, eating and preparation, transfer and mobilisation activities, reaching, and sports activities were studied with six exercises per session. The AOT group watched each ADL activity for two minutes through pre-prepared videos and then repeated the movement they watched for three minutes. The PO group observed the photographs taken from the video for two minutes and then practised the movement described for three minutes. The same sequence was continued for six exercises and one session was completed in approximately 30 minutes. Abilhand-Kids (AK), Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT), Modified Push-up Test (MPT), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Lateral Reach Test (LRT), Brachial Plexus Outcome Measurement (BPOM), Gilbert and Raimondi Score (GRS), Box Block Test (BBT) were performed before and after the treatment.
This study,the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of virtual reality-based task-specific exercises applied in addition to conventional rehabilitation program on functional level and disease-related quality of life in patients who underwent surgical repair due to flexor tendon damage due to traumatic hand injury.
Scoring systems that combine donor clinical and morphological parameters to predict outcome of kidney transplantation lack enough specificity to be generally accepted. Compare to classical histology, molecular assessment of renal tissue offers unbiased and technically robust approach. In this prospective 3-months' observational study procurement biopsies in 180 brain death donors will be performed. Using microarray which detect top differently regulated genes, conventional histology, urinary AKI biomarkers, renal function and clinical variables models predicting DGF and early graft scarring (IFTA, poor graft function) in recipients will be constructed. The associations of AKI in donors with distinct fibrosis atrophy and AKI molecular signals will be found. Molecular techniques and final models may help to improve the decision-making process for the acceptance of kidneys from marginal donors but more importantly, it may help clinicians to guide less toxic immunosuppression in identified problematic grafts.
