Filter by:The present study will be conducted to evaluate the different patterns of abdominal trauma patients and their management in the Emergency Department of Sohag University Hospital
This prospective randomized double blinded study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of early pharmacologic intervention with calcitonin on the incidence or the severity of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury
The main questions the study aims to answer are: - How much do wounds improve when using the Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System for a maximum of 14 days? - How safe is the Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System?
Toe amputation is a commonly performed operation for infection and/or ischaemia (tissue death due to lack of blood flow). However, a large number of patients having this surgery ultimately require further amputation due to poor wound healing, new infections and/or new ulcers. Research to date has focused on patient-related factors associated with poor wound healing (e.g. diabetes, lack of blood flow, poor kidney function). However, there is no research looking at the technical surgical aspects of the procedure, specifically how the toe bone is cut. For this feasibility study, we will recruit forty patients whom a consultant vascular surgeon has decided requires amputation of one-to-two adjacent toes. The participants will be randomised by a computer model into one of the two metatarsal transection methods (bone cutters or bone saw) and the rest of the procedure will be carried out in the standard fashion. Patients and assessors will be blinded to which transection method is chosen. Patients will undergo a post-operative foot x-ray to assess for bone fragments within 48 hours of surgery and another at six months to assess for bone healing. Patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative period using the verbal rating score. Patients will be followed after discharge from hospital by their public health nurse, as is standard practice, with regular follow-up in the surgical outpatients to assess wound progress. Patients will be asked to rate their quality of life at six weeks and six months post-operatively. These assessments will be coordinated with their routine post-operative follow-up clinic appointments, so as not to inconvenience patients with supernumerary visits.
90 patients who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and postural imbalance following Lower Limb Burn Injury. will be selected from outpatient clinic, faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university. Patients will be assigned randomly into 3 groups of equal numbers, group A: (Study group A) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise plus selected exercise program. group B:(Study group B) will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise, Group C (control group C) will receive selected exercise program .
Retrospective, non-randomized, observational, single-center longitudinal study at the University Rehabilitation Hospital of Grau du Roi CHU of Nîmes, France. From January 2012 to Janvier 2023 patients hospitalized for lower limb amputation, were extracted from the computer database of the motion analysis laboratory (2 baropodometric platforms, Zebris, Germany). All patients with lower limb amputations, unilateral or bilateral, walking with or without technical aids, were included regardless of the level (trans-femoral or trans-tibial). Only patients hospitalized in the locomotor rehabilitation department were included in the study. Patients who were not autonomous for walking and required a third person (human assistance) were not included. Finally, deceased patients were also excluded from the study population. Prior to data collection, all participants received a note of non-objection. The study was reported on the Health Data Hub, and data collection and analysis were performed according to the MR004 reference methodologies. Walking amputee patients hospitalized in the locomotor rehabilitation department benefited from a systematic gait assessment before discharge from hospital after rehabilitation and validation of the prosthesis. During the gait analysis, on baropodometric platforms, the software provides a number of parameters: spatiotemporal, pressure distribution, vertical component of the ground reaction force and trajectory of the center of pressure. All patients were recorded over a distance of ten meters including the two meters of acceleration and deceleration according to the validity of the TM-10 for a duration of two minutes. The parameters from the CoP trajectory are calculated from the coordinates calculated in the platform reference frame. A processing of these data will be specially developed within the service. Three key parameters of the COP have been retained: Lateral symmetry (LS; the left/right offset of the intersection point, where the "zero position" is equivalent to perfect symmetry), lateral variability (LV; the standard deviation of the intersection point in the lateral direction, where "zero" equals constant steps in terms of width between the legs), and anteroposterior variability (APV; the standard deviation of the intersection point in the anteroposterior direction, where "zero" equals constant strides while walking on the treadmill). These parameters, which allow for the assessment of continuous COP trajectories with multiple strides, reflect the overall movements of individuals throughout the gait cycle.
The purpose of this study is to compare porcine collagen membrane and bovine collagen wound dressing in human tooth extraction sites. The outcomes measured will be soft tissue thickness changes as well as bone density changes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in compare pain reduction in patients with malignant wounds using morphine gel or lidocaine gel. The main question to be answered is: • Does morphine gel offer better pain control in malignant wounds when compared to lidocaine gel? Participants will answer a questionnaire where they report a note for pain at the site of the malignant wound and then the dressing will be performed by a nurse from the research team. The patient and the nurse do not know which product is being used. At the end of the dressing, the patient answers a new questionnaire. This process will be carried out for 3 days. The researchers will compare the intervention group (morphine gel) and the control group (lidocaine gel) and verify if there is a difference in pain reduction between the two products.
A prospective, cohort study comparing weight-bearing computed tomography with weight-bearing radiography in patients with an acute Lisfranc injury.
Severe trauma imposes a heavy burden to society and family because of its high mortality and disability rate. Based on the implementation plan of "one region", "two links", and "three teams", the Trauma Medicine Center of Peking University People's Hospital has constructed regional trauma care system that is suitable for China's national conditions. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the regional trauma care system on the treatment of patients with severe trauma in China.This study is a prospective, multicenter, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized controlled clinical trial.
