Filter by:This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in which 18 patients affected with chronic traumatic incomplete cervical spinal cord injury will be randomized to either the active treatment (2 doses of intrathecal WJ-MSC 3 months apart) or to placebo (2 intrathecal infusions, 3 months apart). Thereafter, patients will be followed-up for 12 months for safety and efficacy assessment.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Chinese herb complex "Jinchuang ointment" (JCO) on the treatment of chronic nonhealing wounds in patients with Hansen's disease and its mechanism.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the healing rates of wounds treated with various wound care regimens including antiseptic wound wash, topical antibiotic treatment, adhesive bandages, and/or hydrocolloid bandages.
The aim for surgical treatment of unstable Tile B2 & C1 pelvic ring injuries is an anatomical reduction to allow early weight-bearing, pain relief and to prevent future pelvic asymmetry. So, we usually used combined posterior & anterior ring fixation, relying on the fact that anterior pelvic ring adequate reduction and fixation better augment posterior ring fixation and enhance overall pelvic stability. However, anterior ring fixation requires a second incision with a longer operation time and more blood loss. The main disadvantage of the second incision is the higher risk of wound infection, either superficial or deep, which questions its necessity and raises concerns about the possibility of isolated posterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 & C1 pelvic ring injuries with good outcomes. The fundamental algorithm was the questionable need for additional anterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 and C1 pelvic ring injuries combined with posterior ring fixation, whether the incidence of postoperative complications, radiological and clinical outcomes differed between these two groups. After reviewing the literature, we found a lack of knowledge in the prospective assessment of such outcomes between the two fixation groups. So, This RCT aims to reach a satisfactory result and prove or deny the questionable need for anterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 and C1 pelvic ring injuries. Our hypothesis was that PR fixation is at least as good as APR fixation.
Whiplash injury is very common and lot of patients which suffered the injury have chronic symptoms despite different treatment options. One of main symptoms include muscle spasm and pain caused by neck movement. Diazepam is a well known drug which can be used to treat muscle spasms. The aim of this study is to determine whether short term Diazepam therapy can have positive effect on long term outcomes after whiplash injury.
The research aimed to predict postoperative acute kidney injury in patients with acute type A aortic dissection preliminarily by exploring the correlation of preoperative cystatin C level and incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury and combining with relevant risk factors.
This is an implementation study of the Pittsburgh Infant Brain Injury Score (PIBIS) into the UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh emergency department. Children less than 1 year of age presenting to the CHP ED for symptoms which place them at increased risk for AHT as defined in the PIBIS validation study will be potentially eligible.
Use of low-voltage, direct current pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (cPTSD) and trauma-related injuries manifesting in physical and/or mental symptoms.
The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam is widely used and accepted as part of advanced trauma life support (ATLS) protocol, but its low sensitivity for identifying solid organ injury in the absence of hemoperitoneum is a significant limitation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the potential to significantly enhance the evaluation of the trauma patient with acute intra-abdominal injury through the use of intravascular microbubbles that allow direct visualization of lacerations to solid organs. European studies have demonstrated that ultrasound contrast markedly improves the sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting solid organ injury, when the exam is performed in the radiology suite. The researchers hypothesize that the bubble-enhanced FAST or BEFAST exam will be more sensitive than traditional FAST for identification of solid organ injury in hemodynamically stable blunt abdominal trauma patients when performed by emergency providers.
It will be developed and evaluated the antihistamine potential of a gel containing alpha-bisabolol. Method: Interventional and cross-sectional study, with convenience sampling, conducted with 20 volunteers. The forearm will be sensitized at four points (A, B, C and D). Point A: positive control will be sensitized with a drop of histamine at a concentration of 10 mg / Ml. Point B: histamine will apply and immediately after, the alpha bisabolol gel with a concentration of 0.5%. Point C: histamine and gel with 2.5% alpha-bisabolol will apply. Point D will be sensitized with a drop of histamine and 5.0% alpha-bisabolol gel. The test reading at each point will occur 15 minutes after the procedure. For the analysis of the results, the T Test will be applied.
