Filter by:Primary objective: Description of ultrasound abnormalities seen in native septic arthritis of the knee during each visit. Primary endpoint: Describe the ultrasound abnormalities observed on Day 0, Day 10, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, during native septic arthritis of the knee.
This study was conducted to analyze the effect of joint infection on the bone tunnel, graft and articular cartilage following arthroscopic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous hamstring, to summarize the features of MR findings after joint infection, and to correlate these findings with their possible factors.
The alternatives to the combination of Fluoroquinolone and Rifampicin in prosthetic joint infections (PJI) caused by staphylococcus are currently unclear. Clindamycin is prescribed as dual therapy in this indication, and provides many advantages. We conducted a multicenter retrospective observational study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Clindamycin in prosthetic joint infections due to staphylococcus between January 2013 and December 2019.
the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between exposure to daptomycin and the occurrence of muscle toxicity or eosinophilic pneumonia in patients treated with daptomycin for bone and joint infection
Total joint replacement (TJR) is an increasing effective procedure in orthopedics. However, TJR failure due to aseptic or septic loosening remains an important problem, often due to predisposing factors of the patient, which determine the need to perform a revision surgery. In light of the recent conclusions emerged on the still open problems concerning the diagnostic accuracy of serum and synovial fluid markers in the diagnosis of peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI), the project aims at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the combination of serum and/or synovial markers in the diagnosis of PJI. Through a diagnostic clinical study on patients hospitalized for revision surgery the project would provide evidences on the potentiality of the combination of some markers in accelerating the PJI diagnosis for the best selection of surgical strategy, choosing the suitable cutoff thresholds to mitigate the effect of some factors on markers' discriminatory capability.
Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause multiple system function disorders, and complicated symptoms last for an extended period. The virus can cause this continued infection, or the virus causes immune system function disorder and post-infectious autoimmune disease. The clinical symptoms can be smell loss, taste loss to liver function disorder, kidney function failure, different. No matter how complicated the systems showed in the clinic, all of the symptoms are due to the specific cells being damaged. Our clinical study is focused on recovering the damaged structure and function of the cells that could restore the organ function back to normal or close to normal
This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections.
Surgical excisional debridement is the mainstay of management in septic arthritis with necessary decompression, lavage, debridement, and partial synovectomy. However, there has been considerable debate over the optimal modality. Most surgeons perform an open arthrotomy or arthroscopic debridement, although serial aspiration can be considered as an option in very limited circumstances with patients who cannot tolerate surgery. While open arthrotomy has been often utilized, there has been an increasing number of proponents for arthroscopic treatment citing lower re-infection rates and better functional outcomes. However, there has been a lack of well-designed prospective studies comparing surgical treatment modalities for native knee septic arthritis. The goals of this present study are to determine if arthroscopic management of septic arthritis in the native knee resulted in a lower number of surgeries and a shorter length of stay compared to open arthrotomy. Secondary outcomes included differences in postoperative pain and improvements in Lysholm knee scores.
TRL1068 is expected to eliminate the pathogen-protecting biofilm in the prosthetic joint and surrounding tissue, thus making these pathogens substantially more susceptible to established antibiotic treatment regimens. This initial study is designed to assess overall safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TRL1068. The overall goal of the development program is to demonstrate that TRL1068 can facilitate effectiveness of a single stage joint replacement or preservation of the original infected prosthetic joint in a substantial proportion of patients with PJI.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients being treated for prosthetic joint infections (PJI) experience distress during the course of their treatment and how distress influences various aspects of their lives. WVU expects to enroll approximately 12 subjects. Patients identified as scoring ≥4 on the Distress Thermometer at the two-week follow-up visit will be offered the opportunity to participate in the novel CRUTCH Pathway. Once enrolled, you will meet virtually with a mental health provider. The mental health provider will complete a 30-minute intake visit where he will review your distress thermometer scoring, discuss contributing factors to current distress level, and assess for psychiatric comorbidities.
