Certain types of fractures require surgical intervention that may involve the use of bone grafts or bone graft substitutes. Many of the materials used as bone graft substitutes suffer from disadvantages such as soft tissue invasion of the fracture area, inadequate blood supply, failure to encourage the production of bone and ectopic bone formation. A guided bone regeneration (GBR) environment may help in solving these clinical concerns. GBR has been widely used in the field of dentistry since the 1980s to provide stable placement for dental implants The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance and initial efficacy of Regenecure's, AMCA Bone Membrane, as a bone stimulating aid for orthopedic trauma applications.
Get a better understanding of the pathophysiological processes of acute respiratory failure following cardiopulmonary bypass to initiate timely therapies targeted on a cell line. Demonstrate that there is a relationship between increased transpulmonary gradients of inflammation biomarkers (sRAGE, sICAM-1, SPB, PAI-1, ROS) and pulmonary vascular resistance on the one hand and alveolo-capillary gas exchange on the other hand after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
The primary objective of the study is to check the ability of Neurokeeper's algorithm system to detect and monitor changes in cerebral electrophysiological parameters as compared to clinical evaluation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The secondary objectives is correlations of EEG + ERP measurements with clinical evaluations as assessed by NIHSS ThiS study is a prospective, open label, single arm, self control, single center study. This study will be conducted in 50 subjects according to the inclusions/exclusions criteria.
The purpose of this study is the validation of an Electroencephalograph based algorithm for detection of onset and deterioration of Acute Ischemic Stroke by Comparison to NIHSS.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of packing and non-packing on the healing rate of perianal abscess cavities. Secondary objectives are to assess quality of life, cost effectiveness and rate of abscess recurrence and fistula-in-ano formation. If there is no difference in time to healing and non-packing is shown to be safe, acceptable to the patient and cost effective, this approach may become more widely accepted.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a world-wide problem with a global prevalence estimated at 1.5 billion people. It is characterised by significant diversity and phenotypic heterogeneity. Morbidity rates are estimated at 20% to 30% in Western adults, increasing to 90% in patients who are morbidly obese or diabetic. Risk factors in non-obese NAFLD patients are of especial practical and theoretical importance. Cholesterol Ester Storage Disease (CESD) is an autosomal recessive chronic disease of variable phenotype, caused by a deficiency in lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) and characterized by accumulation of fat in tissues and organs. Hepatic accumulation of fat in this disorder can cause hepatomegaly with varying degrees of damage varying from steatosis to fibrosis, elevated aminotransaminases, and isolated splenomegaly. Since the contribution of LAL deficiency to non-obese NAFLD is poorly understood, the investigators propose to evaluating the association between NAFLD and LAL deficiency in a prospective study in our population.
Randomized comparison of two surgeries for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
Primary object: Evaluate Pharmacodynamic property and safety administered S-pantoprazole 10, 20, 40mg and Pantoprazole 20, 40mg in healthy male subjects Secondary object : Evaluate Dose-response of S-pantoprazole and pantoprazole and compare each dose-response
- Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or common baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women and is caused by the action of androgens in genetically predisposed individuals. - This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a preparation of autologous plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret) in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Colorectal Surgery Preoperative Exercise Training is a study being run by the colorectal surgery team at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the University of East Anglia to look at the role of exercise before surgery to improve recovery following an operation. Having an operation to remove part of the bowel puts physical stress on the body. We know that training can help the body cope with physical stress in the same way that an athlete trains before a competition. We hypothesise that the body may recover more quickly if it is trained prior to an operation with regular and simple exercises. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to evaluate the function of the lungs, heart and muscles at rest and during exercise. CPET testing is often done as part of standard pre-operative assessment in many hospitals for patients before undergoing major surgery. Some studies have demonstrated that CPET can be used to predict outcomes following surgery (such as time taken till discharge, complication rates). The study consists of two parts: Study 1) CPET variables to predict outcomes in surgery - patients will undergo a CPET test to determine baseline fitness. Blood tests will be taken around the time of surgery to examine whether biochemical markers in the bloodstream (when used in combination with results from the CPET test) can predict outcomes and recovery following colorectal surgery. Patients will then be monitored to assess their speed of recovery and rate of complications following surgery. This will enable us to determine which CPET variables or combination of variables are most useful in the prediction of post-operative complications following colorectal surgery. 2) The second study will consist of an exercise intervention involving several sessions of supervised exercise in a laboratory. Before and at the end the exercise training regime, CPET measurements will be taken to see if fitness has improved with exercise. This part of of the study is to determine if it is feasible to implement a structured, supervised exercise programme for patients awaiting elective colorectal cancer surgery. The results of this study will be used to inform a larger randomised controlled trial to examine the influence of exercise on CPET variables and postoperative outcomes.
