Filter by:PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of shock waves extracorporea in improving body contour,decrease fat localized and appearance of gynoid lipodystrophy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A prospective and comparative longitudinal clinical study will be performed in 30 women with localized fat and gynoid lipodystrophy. Patients will be submitted data collection and assessments and before and after treatment. HYPOTHESES: It is expected that the patients will present improvement in the body contour, decrease fat localized and in the picture of the gynoid lipodystrophy after of the therapies. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A descriptive analysis will be done before and after vibration-oscillatory therapy, with frequency tables for categorical and descriptive variables (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values) for continuous or numerical variables. In order to compare the main variables between the groups and the collection times, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements will be used. Tukey's test will be used to compare groups. The level of significance adopted for the statistical tests will be 5% or p <0.05.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of motorized mechanical massage associated with cosmetics in improving body contour and appearance of gynoid lipodystrophy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A prospective and comparative longitudinal clinical study will be performed in 30 women with localized fat and gynoid lipodystrophy. Patients will be submitted data collection and assessments and before and after treatment. HYPOTHESES: It is expected that the patients will present improvement in the body contour and in the picture of the gynoid lipodystrophy after the association of the therapies.

The effect of teledermatology on length of hospital admission, length of stay, 30 day readmission rate, and antibiotic use in patients presenting with cellulitis vs pseudocellulitis in an academic emergency department setting.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the non-inferiority of oral flucloxacillin alone compared with a combination of oral flucloxacillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin for the emergency department directed outpatient treatment of cellulitis, wound infections and abscesses, recently renamed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs). Half of the trial participants will receive flucloxacillin and placebo in combination, and the remaining half will be treated will flucloxacillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin. In a secondary objective the trial aims to measure adherence and persistence of trial patients with outpatient antibiotic therapy. In addition a within-trial evaluation of the cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained from the use of oral flucloxacillin compared with combination therapy from the perspective of the health-care payer (direct costs) the patient and government. Finally the study will externally validate the Extremity Soft Tissue Infection-score, a Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) questionnaire designed to quantify the impact of cellulitis, wound infections and abscesses on patient HRQL in clinical trials.
The investigators propose a home hospital model of care that substitutes for treatment in an acute care hospital. Limited studies of the home hospital model have demonstrated that a sizeable proportion of acute care can be delivered in the home with equal quality and safety, reduced cost, and improved patient experience.
To determine the safety and descriptive efficacy of dalbavancin for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in children, aged birth to 17 years (inclusive), known or suspected to be caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms, including methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
Prospective, observational study of the microbiology of patients referred to a tertiary care center with severe acute tonsillitis, peritonsillar cellulitis, or infectious mononucleosis.
The aim of the study is to compare orbital and central nervous system (CNS) imaging with Computed Tomography (CT) scan to that of Fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Fast MRI) in children with mild, moderate or severe orbital cellulitis with medical indications for imaging.
Many children every year present to the Emergency Department (ED) at The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) with cellulitis (skin infection). If it is mild, the children can go home with oral antibiotic treatment. If it is complicated and severe, these children are admitted to hospital for intravenous (IV, through a drip) antibiotic treatment. There is a middle group with uncomplicated moderate/severe cellulitis who require IV antibiotics but who are not acutely unwell. In order to determine whether it is just as effective for children with uncomplicated moderate to severe cellulitis to receive antibiotic treatment at home (via Hospital-In-The-Home) as it is to receive antibiotic treatment in hospital, there is a need to conduct a larger study and randomly assign children to receive either HITH or hospital ward care. The primary research question to be addressed is: In children with moderate/severe uncomplicated cellulitis, is the failure rate at 2 days following the first dose of antibiotic non-inferior for children treated with IV antibiotics at home compared to the failure rate at 2 days following the first dose for children treated with IV antibiotics in hospital?
