Filter by:Currently, Enoxaparin is the usual prophylactic anticoagulant treatment at the acute and sub-acute phases of spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients at the sub-acute phase of SCI (rehabilitation) will be given either Enoxaparin 40 mg/day (control) or Apixaban 2.5-5 mg twice a day. Apixaban dose will be determined by the treating physician. Treatment will be continued for either 6 or 12 weeks following injury (for AIS grades C-D and A-B respectively). Endpoints: Venous thromboembolism will be evaluated by D-Dimer test every 2 weeks and an ultrasound doppler at the end of the treatment. Bleeding events will be recorded and hematocrit will be monitored every two weeks.
The main aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that Erector spine plane block (ESP) with sedation will provide the similar employment of fentanyl and propofol during surgery as an infiltrative local anaesthesia with sedation. The primary endpoint was the quantity of fentanyl and propofol during surgery.
This research will aid in understanding of slow-breathing and its effect on heart rate and blood pressure in people with a spinal cord injury (SCI). This research will investigate if traditional 'yogic' breathing exercises can be performed by subjects with SCI and its influence on the cardiovascular system.
The aim of this retrospective study is to review the annual incidence, management, and outcomes of bile duct injuries (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in a population-based cohort during 2008-2018 in Estonia.
This study is a one-arm pilot study. All patients were recruited on an outpatient basis. After screening visits and informed consent was obtained, debridement and photography were performed on the patient's wound surface, and the wound area was measured. Patients in the intervention group were then provided with adipose tissue exosome dressings.200-300ml of the subject adipose tissue before centrifugation was collected, and the extracellular vesicles were retained after tissue homogenate and filter screening. The extracellular vesicles were mixed with sterile hydrogel and applied directly to the wound surface, and the wound was covered with an inert protective dressing.
The primary objective of the study is to analysis the personal determination factors (age, sex, stage of injury, pain, urinary continence and durations of spinal cord injury) and environmental determination factors (need for medical devices, nurse care and adaptation of accommodations) which affect the quality of life and their occupations on patients with medullar injury.
A common problem among children with nervous system disorders is difficulty walking on their own. This has impacts beyond mobility including short and long-term health conditions associated with physical inactivity and different developmental experiences as a result of the mobility impairments. A robotic trainer can both provide rehabilitation and be an assistive device to help compensate for difficulties. Figuring out how to prescribe it is critical to improve daily life for children with significant disabilities. Preliminary use of robotic trainers have shown many benefits, such as better head control and improved independence in transfers, which greatly increases ability to live independently. Additionally, vital functions that are frequently impaired in those with less physical activity, such as sleep and bowel habits, seem to improve. Finally, these children enjoy using them. This project aims to determine who is most likely to benefit from training with a robotic trainer and investigate key details about the dose of training that is needed. Families that are already using or hope to use robotic training need this data to help improve their access to the intervention. Clinicians need this systematic approach to building evidence to ensure a future multi-centre randomized control trial is well designed. This study is needed to help improve the lives of those who live with significant disabilities. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility and impacts of delivering robotic gait training at home. Integral in this study is capturing the user perspectives. This will both provide preliminary evidence-based advice to potential users, their families, and clinicians as well as provide key metrics to design a definitive multi-centre randomized control trial. The investigators will provide robotic gait trainers, specifically Trexo robotic gait trainers, to participants and their families to use in their home communities for 12 weeks to evaluate the feasibility and impacts of intensive robotic gait training in people who cannot walk independently. Assessments will be completed throughout the duration of study, including before, during, and after the training intervention, with the goal of evaluating a wide range of feasibility considerations and impacts from robotic training.
This research study is being done to look at the safety and diagnostic benefit of conducting an TMS(transcranial magnetic stimulation)-EEG measured before and after a brief experimental stimulation session using investigational devices repetitive TMS or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
The purpose of this study is to develop a database that contains movement and rehabilitation-related data collected through the use of wearable sensors and video. This database will serve as a resource for clinicians and researchers interested in the investigation of movement or rehabilitation-related research ideas.
Primary goal of the research is to determine whether injury/illness occurrence is influenced by the academic, training and competition loads, as well as the overall load (sum of academic/work, training and competition loads) in elite handball athletes To examine whether subjective measures of perceived overall stress correlate with objectively measured levels of stress. Determine the benefits of certain biomarkers to monitor stress, load and injury/illness occurrence in athletes.
