Filter by:Two-year (2 year) information regarding the performance of the commercially available Actis™ Total Hip System in order to obtain and evaluate the clinical outcomes on a series of cementless primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemi-hip arthroplasty procedures using clinical, radiographic and device and procedure related adverse event assessments.
Comparing the structural effects of TNFi and tocilizumab on the periarticular bone by performing a comprehensive analysis of the periarticular bone changes in RA patients treated with either TNFi or tocilizumab in a longitudinal Setting, using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), a very sensitive method for visualizing and quantifying bone microstructure in RA patients. Quantitatively assessing the changes of erosions volume, osteophytes size and the area of cortical fenestration in a group of TNFi-treated and a group of tocilizumab- treated RA patients.
The purpose of this study was to determine how effective and safe the study drug Olokizumab was in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who had been already receiving, but not fully responding to treatment with an existing medication called a tumour necrosis factor alpha inhibitor The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of olokizumab (OKZ) 64 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) once every 2 weeks (q2w) or once every 4 weeks (q4w) relative to placebo in subjects with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) inadequately controlled by TNF-α inhibitor (TNFi) therapy.
It is a single-center, prospective, randomized and controlled study focused in microsurgical autologous breast reconstruction. It involves applying indocyanine green (ICG) angiography for the study of the vascularization of DIEP flaps. The aim of the study is to determine whether there are differences in complications and aesthetic results when ICG is used to discard the poorly vascularized areas of the flap. The study includes adult women undergoing unilateral DIEP flap breast reconstruction. The calculated sample size is 60 patients. There are two groups. In group 1, the investigators use the usual clinical criteria to discard the poorly vascularized areas of the flap. In group 2, the investigators use the ICG to shape the flap.
In the past years several shoulder reconstruction systems with different types of prostheses and fixation methods have been developed to improve shoulder arthroplasty, trying to cover a wide range of pathologies and revision situations. The aim of the present study is to report radiological and clinical outcome with a stemless shoulder implant with hollow screw fixation.
This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance of SMS femoral stem prosthesis.
In this study, the aim is to identify the modifications responsible for aseptic osteonecrosis of the femoral head and its structural evolution by the association of the micro scanner analysis and Raman spectrometry performed on the femoral heads removed during hip replacements. The study of femoral heads will allow the analysis of bone tissue at two different scales, both correlated with the biomechanical properties of the bone. Also, the association with preliminary MRI analysis will provide pathogenic explanations correlated to these modifications.
This is a multi-center, single-blinded, randomized trial comparing AXIOS FCSEMS (Fully Covered Self Expanding Metal Stent) and plastic stents for EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)-guided management of infected and/or symptomatic WON (Walled Off Necrosis). Patients will be randomized to either FCSEMS or plastic stents for EUS-guided drainage of WON in a 1:1 manner. Following EUS-guided drainage patients in both groups will be assessed pre- procedure, pre -discharge, weeks 1, 6 and months 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Information will also be collected from any subsequent hospital admissions related to their walled-off necrosis.
Evaluation of clinical improvement and the reduction of edema lesion documented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cerebral radiation necrosis post gamma knife surgery (GKS) by treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO)
Non-surgical root canal therapy (RCT) represents a standard of treatment that addresses infected pulp tissue in teeth and protects against future infection while preserving the tooth for the patient for mainly cosmetic purposes. RCT is offered as the better cosmetic, cheaper, and less time intensive treatment option for a patient compared to those of dental implantation. Dental implantation is the alternative to RCT, and they are both originally offered at the time of the initial consultation. RCT involves non-surgically removing dental pulp comprising blood vessels and nerve tissue, decontaminating residually infected tissue, and using a filler material to replace the non-surgically created space where the pulp was removed. Currently, standard of care treatment for RCT utilizes gutta-percha as the root canal filling material. Our research group has previously demonstrated NDGP's improvement in tensile strength compared to those of gutta-percha. This research studies a new type of filler, gutta-percha modified by the addition of nanodiamond material (NDGP). This is an equivalence study of NDGP and standard gutta-percha administration.
