Filter by:In addition to the well-known toxicological harms of intravenous drug (IVD) use, there can also be local tissue complications, including infections, venous sclerosis, tissue necrosis, and drug needle fragment retentions. Drug needle fragments in subcutaneous tissue may cause local symptoms (usually pain and infections), but they have also been identified as causing emboli to organs. The literature has described numerous case reports of people who inject drugs (PWIDs) and have retained needle fragments. The prevalence of the condition is not known, and the researchers therefore aim to perform the first cross-sectional study of PWIDs to estimate how common needle fragment retentions are and what their risk factors are in this population.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how many people have post-traumatic stress disorder and related symptoms in the general population of people without any mental illness in the Barcelona region of Catalonia, Spain. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in a sample of healthy controls without other mental disorders? - What is the prevalence of trauma-related symptoms in a sample of healthy controls without mental illness? - What is the prevalence of dissociative symptoms (including symptoms of depersonalisation and somatoform dissociation) in a sample of healthy controls without mental illness? - What is the prevalence of recent and childhood traumatic life events in a sample of healthy controls without mental illness? - What is the prevalence of difficulties in psychosocial functioning in healthy controls without mental illness? - What is the prevalence of depressive symptoms in healthy controls without mental illness? - What is the prevalence of general psychiatric symptoms in healthy controls without mental illness? Participants will be asked to take part in an online screening programme, and then to come to an interview with a clinician who will apply validated scales to test the above.
The subaxial cervical spine consists of levels C3 through C7 and includes both the bony anatomy as well as the ligamentous anatomy. Injuries to the subaxial cervical spine can be bony, discoligamentous or a combination of both (1). Cervical spine trauma is common resulting from high energy trauma such as falling from height and motor vehicle accident (2). Devastating sequelae of subaxial cervical spine trauma include quadriplegia, functional loss, and permanent disability
Research project entitled "The experience of relational trauma as an important etiological factor of neurotic and/or personality disorders. The 4FM Acceptance training as a new form of therapy for these disorders" assumes the following goals: 1. validation of the Polish version of the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ); 2. assessment of prevalence of relational trauma among adult psychiatric patients hospitalized at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology; 3. development a new therapeutic intervention - 4FM Acceptance training - based on the methodology of the Existential Analysis; 4. assessment of the impact of the 4FM Acceptance training among patients with cPTSD. The original therapeutic intervention - 4FM Acceptance training - will be developed based on the methodological assumptions of the 4 Fundamental Motivations (4FM) in the Existential Analysis methodology, developed by Alfried Längle, student of Viktor Frankl, a representative of the Existential Psychology, together with other important representatives, i.e. Rollo May, Irvin Yalom and in Poland prof. Antoni Kępiński.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality that can occur in critically ill patients and after major surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to identify the incidance and outcomes of patients underwent pneumonectomy, defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal administration of autologous mesenchymal stem cells in participants with subacute spinal cord injury.
Virtual delivery of mental health care is an emerging strategy for increasing access and enhancing the delivery of mental health services; however, evidence that virtual interventions are an efficacious form of therapy is limited. An asynchronous virtual treatment program that allows patients to access program material at any time could be a widely accessible, cost-effective alternative to in-person or synchronous virtual group therapy. The Trauma Therapy Program (TTP) at Women's College Hospital (WCH) follows clinical guidelines for the treatment of complex post-traumatic stress disorder that recommend a staged approach to treatment for adults suffering from the sequelae of childhood interpersonal trauma (CIT). The initial stage is safety and stabilization; in TTP, this begins with the Resourced and Resilient (R&R) group, a stage 1 trauma-focused psychoeducational psychotherapy group. Psychoeducational psychotherapy is a widely used approach to help patients understand the impact of trauma, challenge maladaptive behaviour patterns, learn safer coping skills and reduce trauma-related symptoms as part of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of PTSD. To address gaps in equitable access to trauma-focused care, the investigators developed the Trauma PORTAL: Providing Online tRauma Therapy using an Asynchronous Learning platform. The investigators developed an asynchronous virtual multimedia version of R&R consisting of 8 modules, called the Trauma PORTAL; previously called electronic Resourced and Resilient or e-R&R. The investigators then conducted an open-label pilot study where the Trauma PORTAL intervention was offered that included access to the asynchronous virtual modules, along with an optional weekly 1-hour synchronous virtual group that offers patients an opportunity to ask questions about content from the modules. Preliminary data from the investigators' open-label eR&R pilot study demonstrates feasibility, usability, and acceptability, as well as a significant improvement in PTSD symptoms from pre- to post-group. This phase of the Trauma PORTAL project seeks to test the efficacy and further assess the intervention processes, including recruitment, retention, acceptability, and adherence to the Trauma PORTAL intervention through a randomized controlled trial.
The Investigators will recruit 50 participants with acute SCI (within 72 hours of injury) Fasting blood collection and bowel function survey will be conducted 4 times: at baseline [the time of first stool sample, within 72 hours of injury] and 1, 6, and 12 months after SCI. Stool will be collected for gut microbiome analysis 4 times
Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in pressure injury(PI) patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. This study was to evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions.
The goal of this observational study is to study the effectiveness of one-step application of Lando® artificial dermal regeneration matrix for burn and plastic wound repair. The main question it aims to answer is: the effectiveness of one-step application of Lando® artificial dermal regeneration matrix, including the take rate of skin graft and the appearance recovery of the wound. Participants will be treated with artificial dermis that perfomed with STSG simultaneously. According to the routine clinical practice, the take rate of split-thickness skin graft at about 2-3 weeks and the appearance recovery of the wound at 3 months and 6 months after the implantation were measured.
