Filter by:The study will analyze the incidence, clinical outcomes and predictors of myocardial injury in a large patient population with COVID-19 treated in Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) system. In addition, the study team will explore the association between high-sensitivity troponin I (TnI) levels and clinical characteristics, biomarkers, cardiac tests data and treatment approaches to uncover the potential mechanisms responsible for COVID-19 induced myocardial injury.
For phase II, the objective is to compare the effectiveness of BICS-T with the well-established BICS in-person group. Information gained from phase I (the feasibility study) was used to make necessary changes to the BICS-T protocol. The purpose of this study is to provide survivors of brain injury and caregivers greater support and teach adaptive coping strategies, through a designed and studied a coping skills group specifically for brain injury survivors and their caregivers at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) called the Brain Injury Coping Skills group (BICS).
The authors hypothesize that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect the kidneys, causing them to be damaged. The present study aims to explain the mechanisms of kidney injury in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
This study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System comprised of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer with the QStat Cartridge in trauma patients and obstetric patients with postpartum hemorrhage.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an acquired insult to the brain from an external mechanical force. It is considered a major cause of mortality and of long-term disabilities in young adults, especially considering high-income countries. The TBI can cause a wide range of temporary and/or permanent brain's dysfunctions that can involve physical, cognitive, behavioural and emotional functioning limiting everyday life and social activities and leading to a lowers quality of life. a sequential preparatory approach (SPA), performed in aquatic environment, based on increasing difficulty and following a specific sequence of preparatory exercises (from the simplest to the most complex) could be an effective complementary training during post-acute intensive rehabilitation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).
The purpose of this study is to Identify intervention priorities using a corner-based needs assessment to document occupational and psychosocial risk and protective factors that increase Latino day laborers(LDL) risk for injury and to design a culturally responsive and context appropriate Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-based safety intervention that also addresses psychosocial risks to reduce LDL injuries and collaboratively pilot a corner-level intervention and conduct an evaluation to assess the safety program's feasibility and acceptability as determined by the extent to which we can recruit, retain and follow-up LDL over the course of the study.
Evaluating the use of peri-operative blood flow restriction therapy surrounding anterior cruciate ligament tear
It is postulated that high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can decrease the corticospinal inhibition and enhance the motor recovery. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of high frequency rTMS on lower extremity motor recovery and gait parameters in patients with chronic motor incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Brain Injury can be devastating for both patients and family members and can result in chronic difficulties in vocational, social, financial, as well as physical functioning. The occurrence of emotional and neurobehavioral challenges in individuals with brain injury is also common with research consistently showing links between these challenges and a person's overall rehabilitation outcome. In order to provide patients and caregivers greater support and teach adaptive coping strategies, the authors of this grant designed and studied a coping skills group specifically for brain injury survivors and their caregivers at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) called the Brain Injury Coping Skills group (BICS). BICS is a 12 session (one session per week), manualized, cognitive-behavioral treatment group designed to provide support, coping skills, and psychoeducation aimed to improve perceived self-efficacy (PSE) and emotional functioning.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of a low vs. high dose of acupuncture treatment in individuals with chronic post-traumatic headache (CPTH). A total of 36 people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) suffering from CPTH will be enrolled in this study to receive acupuncture treatment for 5 weeks. Participants will be randomized into two groups: 1) Low Acupuncture group (5 treatments) and 2) High Acupuncture group (10 treatments). It is hypothesized that both treatment groups will have decreased headaches, but that 10 treatments will greater alleviate headaches when compared to 5 treatments.
