Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of High-volume saline irrigation vs Povidone-iodine solution cleaning of the intraoperative incision wound in preventing superficial surgical site infections in patients undergoing emergency laparotomies. The main question it aims to answer are: - Incidence of SSI after intervention - Length of hospital stay Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups receiving either of the two groups: Group A: 1000ml of IOWI with saline solution prior to incision closure Group B: The incisional wound will be closed conventionally without irrigation. Researchers will compare groups A( experimental group) and B (control group) to compare the incidence of superficial surgical site infections after intervention.
The purpose of this single-arm trial is to determine the feasibility of emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET) for individuals with persistent pain following orthopedic trauma. As part of this study, participants will be asked to attend weekly EAET treatment sessions and complete assessments (including pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up) consisting of questionnaires and sensory testing procedures.
The study gives an overview of surgically treated rotator cuff injury patients in Tartu University Hospital Sports Traumatology Centre during 2013-2019 and evaluates the integrity of rotator cuff at minimum 5 years after atraumatic rotator cuff tendon repair. First stage of the study describes the study population, etiology of the injury (traumatic/atraumatic) and aims to answer the question whether the arthroscopic findings are in line with the preoperative imaging studies or not. Second stage of the study focuses on atraumatic tendon tears assessing structural integrity of the tendons 5 years after repair using ultrasound imaging. The main question is - does the findings correlate with clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Participants of the second phase of the study will be asked for an appointment to have their shoulders examined with ultrasonography and clinical outcomes are measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and The Constant-Murley score (CMS).
In this study, a total of 69 Wistar Albino rats were used, five of which were in the preliminary study. The preliminary study was planned to determine the ideal PEMF treatment time. In the study, animals were divided into 5 groups (Control, INJ, INJ+Exercise, INJ+PEMF, INJ+Exercise+PEMF). Experimental animals were sacrificed on the 7th and 14th days to see the effects of the treatments. At the end of the experiment, genetic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical evaluations were made in the muscle tissue.
Inhalation injury is a composite of multiple insults including: supraglottic thermal injury, subglottic airway and alveolar poisoning, and systemic poisoning from absorbed small molecule toxins. These contaminant insults independently affect each of the pulmonary functions as well as having a direct effect on systemic physiology. Further, anatomic characteristics can predispose patients to inhalation injury. For example, an infant will develop airway obstructions much faster than an adult due to reduced airway diameter. Understanding the contributions of each of these pathologies to the patient's disease is critical to managing inhalation injury.
Article Summary 1. Tracheal tube-related tongue injury is a common clinical complication that would lead to serious events such as dysphagia, respiratory dysfuncion and macroglossia. 2. There is a lack of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment of tracheal tube-related tongue injury. 3. This is a protocol of a single-center, prospective, paralled-group clinical trial based on the measurement of dynamic changes in pressure between the tracheal tube and the tongue in different position during the surgery. 4. The primary endpoint is tracheal tube-related tongue injury, secondary outcomes include the time to first successful recovery of oral intake of fluids and solid food and airway-related events. 5. This trial aims to find the best indicators for tracheal tracheal tube-related tongue injury and to provide solid basis for optimizing airway protection strategies and surgical positioning.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC) therapy in patients undergoing medium-thickness skin grafts for donor site wounds. The study aims to answer the following main questions: - Question 1: Does hUCMSC therapy improve the healing quality and speed of donor site wounds in comparison to standard treatment? - Question 2: Does hUCMSC therapy reduce scar formation in the donor site wounds? Participants in this study will undergo medium-thickness skin grafts, and those in the treatment group will receive hUCMSC therapy. The main tasks for participants will involve regular follow-up visits, monitoring of wound healing progress, and assessment of any potential side effects or complications associated with the therapy. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of hUCMSC therapy, researchers will compare the treatment group receiving hUCMSC therapy with a control group that receives standard treatment alone. The aim is to determine if the use of hUCMSC therapy leads to improved healing outcomes and reduced scar formation compared to the standard treatment group.
Feasibility and safety of targeting neutral vs liberal fluid balance in traumatic brain injured patients: a phase II randomized controlled trial
The aim of this study is to eliminate the malodorous of chronic wound and increase the chance of the healing of recalcitrant wounds by using the repairing gel (supraz gel) which has the approved components in wound healing and platelet-rich plasma-fibrin glue.
