Filter by:Background Numerous surgicals treatments have been described for the massive subcutaneous emphysema; however, some of these techniques cannot be carried out in a critical care unit and they are related with high morbidity and exposure in positive SARS COV-2 patients. More effective, less invasive and isolated procedures should be implemented. Technique Negative pressure therapy (NPT) that can allow effective solving of massive subcutaneous emphysema in a short period (5 days) with a minimally invasive approach at the bedside in Covid-19 or non infected critical patients. Conclusion NPT is an effective and low invasive strategy for the management of EES in critical patients with high risk of mortality.
This study aims is to describe the pharmacokinetic properties of levetiracetam through measurement of serum concentrations in critically ill, severe traumatic brain injury patients.
extremity trauma is a frequent reason for emergency room visits. There is an increase in the use of CT scanners in extremity trauma, due to a greater sensitivity of detection than X-rays, particularly for "occult fractures" and for the organization of treatment, particularly surgical treatment. As the number of CT scans increases, the reduction of the delivered dose has become a subject of interest. Among the many methods used, the use of iterative reconstruction has enabled a substantial reduction in the delivered dose without compromising image quality: low-dose and ultra-low-dose protocols (effective dose equivalent to the effective dose of the Diagnostic Reference Levels of radiographs from the same region of interest) have been developped, but have not yet been evaluated in extremity trauma. The subject of our feasibility study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultra-low dose CT compared to radiographs in patients consulting for extremity trauma in the emergency room. The recent implementation in our department of a scanner dedicated to low-dose explorations as well as the optimization of protocols has allowed the realization of ultra-low-dose scans since June 2017.
Comparing outcomes of individuals treated with Kinesiotape and oval 8 versus quick cast for a conservatively managed mallet finger injury. Outcomes include DIP joint extension lag, patient satisfaction and function via the MHQ.
Real-life practice survey of vascular specialist in France caring for patients with chronic wound for which compression treatment would be indicated and arterial disease of the lower limbs
In our society spinal cord injury is a major problem.activity based therapy and conventional therapy has a potentional to improve upper limb strength and transfer in tetraplegic patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of activity based therapy versus conventional therapy to improve the upper limb strength and transfer in spinal cord injury. The study design used was randomized clinical trial. The study was conducted at the paraplegic center Peshawar in 6 weeks after the approval of synopsis. A sample size of 16 participants was taken with complete and incomplete spinal cord injury received using lottery method. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group A was treated with activity based therapy + baseline therapy and group B was treated with conventional therapy + baseline therapy. 8 subjects in each group. Pre and post treatment evaluation were done by using Spinal cord independence measure scale (SCIM) and International standards for neurological classification of spinal cord injury upper extremity measurement scale (ISNCSCI- UEMS). Post spinal cord independence measure activity based group mean 26.87±12.87 and conventional group mean 31.50±23.82. The results indicate that conventional therapy and activity based therapy both are helpful in improving upper limb strength and transfer total spinal cord independence measure pre sig.0.96 and post sig.0.57. Both activity based therapy and conventional therapy equally effective for improving the upper limb strength and transfer in spinal cord injury. entional therapy.
This study will investigate the effects of an exercise intervention on retired American professional football (APF) players. A total of 20 retired APF players (≥ 18 years of age), who suffer from chronic pain, will be enrolled. The study duration for each participants will be 18 months. Enrolled participants will perform a 18 months exercise intervention which involves 90 exercise rehabilitation training visits. In addition, participants will also be tested on various measures of health and function both at baseline (prior to intervention), at 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months (post intervention). All testing and result interpretation will be performed by trained research personnel. Participants are not University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) participants; however, study testing visits will occur at UIC. All exercise intervention training visits will occur at Gh Fitlab.
This project was a Randomized clinical trial conducted COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION AND MULLIGAN BENT LEG RAISE ON HAMSTRING TIGHTNESS IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
PREDICT II is an observational, prospective design, single-center study aiming to determine whether the prognosis of neurological outcome at 6 months in patients undergoing traumatic brain injury established by a doctor at his initial management is more accurate in experienced doctors versus junior doctors.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PRF, CGF and AFG application on early wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty operations. In the study designed split mouth, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty surgery were performed on 19 patients. The postoperative PRF, CGF, and AFG applied areas were compared with the control regions. 0th,7 th,14 th and 28 th on the days, the surgical area was painted with mira-2-tone solution and evaluated in the ImageJ program. Measurements of clinical periodontal parameters including PI, GI, SC and SD were recorded at the beginning, after IPT and 28 days after the operation. Wound healing was evaluated with H2O2 test, VAS-Pain, and LTH index on 7th, 14th and 28th days. The patients were asked to evaluate their aesthetic perceptions on the VAS aesthetic scale.
