Filter by:Total hysterectomy is one of the most performed surgical procedures in the world and it is associated with post-operative complications. The postoperative morbidity rate is estimated to vary from 3% to 8% with a readmission rate of 5-7%. The most frequent postoperative complications are urinary tract infections, wound infection of the vaginal vault, vault cellulitis, bleeding, suture dehiscence, pelvic abscess. The introduction of routine antibiotic prophylaxis has significantly reduced the risk of infectious complications, which however remains higher than other "clean" surgery, mainly due to contamination by the vaginal bacterial flora. In this scenario, the introduction of adjuvant factors acting on bacterial flora, can contribute to reduce the risk of post-surgical complications. The cationic silver ions (Ag +) stabilized by covalent link with Titanium dioxide (TiO2), the TIAB, maximizes the properties of silver by optimizing the antibiotic action and disruptive properties of the pathogenic biofilm of bacteria and fungi. Thanks to these properties, TIAB is able to enhance the antibiotic action by reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance and recurrent infections linked to the biofilm. Re-establishing the optimal vaginal microenvironment represents a fundamental step reducing the risk of infections in the surgical site, since the vagina is a non-sterile environment populated by bacterial species that can generate biofilm and potentially infect the site of surgery. In addition to microbicidal and disruptive biofilm activity, TIAB has demonstrated a direct action on tissue regeneration processes by stimulating the production of collagen and its modeling. Different clinical trials have reported a cicatrizing and re-epithelializing action of TIAB administered vaginally in the context of cervical conization for pathology related to HPV. Without showing any notable adverse effects or a negative action on lactobacillary flora with an overall good therapy tolerance by patients. On the basis of the available evidence, the investigators conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to determine if TIAB treatment in the formulation of vaginal capsules TIAGIN (TIAB (microcrystalline titanium dioxide with covalently linked monovalent silver ions), Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbadensis Extract) is able to reduce the incidence of infectious complications, that are related to altered healing of post-hysterectomy vaginal suture.

This study aims to determine whether cold-stored platelets (CSP) are equally, more effective, or uniquely effective at reversing the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy in healthy human subjects compared to room-temperature-stored platelets (RTP). The investigators plan to enroll healthy human subjects without risk factors for bleeding to achieve 60 complete data sets. Each subject will donate two apheresis platelet units. One platelet unit will be stored in the cold (CSP) and one platelet unit will be stored at room temperature (RTP). Subjects will be given dual anti-platelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) prior to autologous transfusion of each unit. Platelet function testing will be performed before and after transfusion to measure reversal of the antiplatelet drugs.
Betamethasone is currently given routinely in conjunction with tonsillectomy surgery at the majority of Ear, Nose & Throat clinics in Sweden. The scientific evidence regarding the effects of betamethasone in adults is limited when it comes to postoperative nausea (PONV), pain and postoperative bleeding.
BACKGROUND: Perioperative bleeding and transfusion are important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation. The aim of this study is to assess whether viscoelastic tests-guided therapy with the use of synthetic factor concentrates impact transfusion rates of hemocomponents in adult patients undergoing liver transplantation. METHODS: This is an interventional before-after comparative study. Patients undergoing liver transplantation before the implementation of a protocol using thromboelastometry and synthetic factor concentrates were compared to patients after the implementation. Primary outcome was transfusion of any hemocomponents. Secondary outcomes included: transfusion of red blood cells (RBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate or platelets, clinical complications, length of stay and in-hospital mortality.
The present study was designed to observe the effectiveness of artificial intelligent based mHealth system(Chronic disease management system) to reduce bleeding events in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
Post sphinterotomy-bleeding (PSB) occurs in 1-2 % of Endosocpic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) and usually needs no blood transfusion after endoscopic therapy but can be life-threatening in some rare cases. There are no prospective comparative studies concerning the endoscopic treatment of PSB due to the rarity of the incident. Insertion of an endoprosthesis in the common bile duct may be more effective than Epinephrin-injection into the papilla which is the therapy of first choice. A retrospective single centre analysis on both used methods over a study period of 16 years shall be performed.
The PROPHESY trial is a single centre pilot trial investigating Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) or Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) treatment for patients who are bleeding during cardiac surgery, and who are NOT receiving a vitamin K antagonist agent (e.g. warfarin). This pilot study will investigate the feasibility of delivering the different components of the trial, so that investigators can determine if it's feasible to move to a future large trial that will aim to compare the efficacy and safety of FFP versus PCC in adult patients who are actively bleeding during cardiac surgery.
Angiogenesis is inherently associated to bone formation and healing. During implant osseointegration, a successive and successful angiogenic processes has to occur to promote bone formation. In 1969, Branemark et al. demonstrated that direct contact between bone and titanium implant surface was possible, defining osseointegration as "the direct, structural, and functional contact between live bone and the surface of a functionally loaded implant". Consequently, the need of an empirical measurement appeared. With the introduction of resonance frequency analysis (RFA), it is now possible to measure the degree of implant stability at any time during the course of implant treatment and loading. In this way, changes in implant stability can be monitored over the time and it is likely possible to find implants at risk of failure before they become loose. The rationale of this study is to analyse how important a good vascularization is for the future bone formation around dental implants.
This prospective, randomized, active-controlled, parallel arm study compares the safety and financial benefits of arterial thromboembolism prophylaxis with Warfarin vs. Rivaroxaban (A novel oral anticoagulant) in patients with new onset atrial fibrillation after sternotomy for cardiac operations.
