Filter by:A randomized, controlled, 30-subject, within-subject trial for examining the effectiveness of KeraStat Gel, as opposed to the institutional standard of care, silver sulfadiazine, in improving cosmesis of the healed wound.
Work-related stress is a public health issue. Among the multiple physical and psychological consequences of stress, increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity seem the main concern. The thermal spa resort of Néris-Les-Bains is one of the five spa resorts in France specialized in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders. Among all these resorts proposing a thermal residential program of three weeks, only one thermal spa resort (Saujon) has a program for occupational burn-out. However, a shorter thermal spa residential program seems more compatible with professional context (availability of individuals), and focusing on work-related stress prevention (before the state of burn-out). The main hypothesis is that a short thermal spa residential program (6 days) of work-related stress prevention will exhibit its efficacy through objective measures of well-being and cardiovascular morbidity.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether modified corneal epithelial autograft (EA) combined with allogeneic middle lamellar keratoplasty (AMLK) is more effective than limbal autograft (LA) with AMLK for ocular surface reconstruction in patients with severe corneal burn.
The overarching goal for this prospective randomized controlled trial (PRCT) is to determine whether a virtual-environment, home-rehabilitation program improves functional outcomes for individuals after a burn injury. Specifically, this study will test the efficacy of a technology-assisted rehabilitation program against current standard of home therapy.
Burn injury leads to hypovolemic then distributive shock. Fluid resuscitation remains the cornerstone of initial treatment of burn shock. However, fluid rescucitation can lead to fluid overload, which manifests most notably as lung edema. The peptide NT-pro-BNP, a biomarker of cardiac congestion secreted by the myocardium, as well as plasma CD146, an endothelial factor involved in angiogenesis and a marker of vascular congestion, may help identifying patients with risk of pulmonary edema and hypoxia . Our hypothesis is that these biomarkers may predict the occurence of pulmonary edema in severe burns patients.
This phase IIb trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EHSG-KF (synonym denovoSkin) in comparison to meshed STSG in children with partial deep dermal and full thickness burns.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of tissue engineered construct based on allogeneic cultured adipose-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (ALLO-ADSCs) and platelet-poor plasma fibrin hydrogel to treat patients with 2-B and 3- degree burn wounds
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a low-dose ketamine infusion can be used as the main intra-operative analgesic in different burn patients, and thereby reduce the total intra-operative opioid requirement. Secondary objectives are to determine whether this low-dose ketamine infusion will lengthen the amount of time to the first narcotic given in the recovery room or ICU, and whether pain scores for awake patients will be lower post-operatively.
Treatment strategies of II. degree burn wounds and split-skin grafted III. degree burn wounds aim at reducing infection and improving reepithelialization. The aim of this study is to evaluate time to reepithelialization, pain, microbiology and handling of manuka honey dressings with second-degree burn wounds and split-skin grafted burn wounds.
Burned skin areas, which were initially vital, can be irreversibly damaged by wound progression. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the feasibility of ischemic conditioning to reduce secondary wound progression.
