The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of the HIT Reverse Hip Replacement System is safe and effective in patients undergoing total hip replacement. We will determine whether it is safe and effective by comparing it to the control devices.
The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to collect long-term data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Anatomical Shoulder 2.0 Fracture System (Implants and Instrumentation) when used for fracture shoulder arthroplasty. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) is associated with a mortality of 20-30%. The current evidence supports a minimally invasive drainage approach to infected WON. The current suggested approach in international guidelines is the endoscopic step-up approach. However, recent evidence from large national cohorts support the use of direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) at the time of stent placement, resulting in earlier resolution of WON and less number of necrosectomies. This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of the DEN versus the step-up approach for necrosectomy after endoscopic drainage of WON.
Post radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis is a relatively special radiotherapy sequelae after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. According to the degree of its development, it can be roughly divided into three stages: mild, moderate and severe stages, corresponding to the pre-nasopharyngeal necrosis stage, the soft tissue necrosis stage and the bone necrosis stage respectively. In the past, treatment methods were limited, including anti-infection, topical nasopharyngeal drugs, etc., the efficacy was not good, the nasopharyngeal necrosis lesions progressed, and a series of serious complications occurred, such as: intracranial infection secondary to osteonecrosis, massive nasopharyngeal hemorrhage, etc. It seriously endanger the life of the patient. With the continuous development of medical technology, the means of treatment are also constantly updated, such as repeated debridement guided by nasal endoscope, modified nasopharyngeal irrigation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the healing rate of nasopharyngeal necrosis has improved, especially the cure rate of patients in the mild and moderate-stages can reach 54.1%-54.8%. However, there are still some patients with poor healing of nasopharyngeal wounds after treatment. Since 2004, our team has carried out a series of studies such as transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngeal resection combined with posterior pedicle nasal septum and floor mucoperiosteum flap(NSFF), and successfully achieved minimally invasive and en bloc resection of localized recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This method basically solved the problem of surgical wound healing of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. On this basis, we further applied it to the treatment of nasopharyngeal necrosis to further improve the cure rate and improve the prognosis. In addition, our retrospective study showed that compared with conservative treatment, curative-intent endoscopic necrectomy followed by reconstruction using the posterior pedicle nasal septum and floor mucoperiosteum flap can effectively prolong the overall survival time of patients and significantly improve the symptoms, but it still needs to be further confirmed by prospective clinical trials. In addition, some patients (22.2%) had necrosis of the mucosal flap after receiving surgery, which affected the healing of surgical wounds. Besides, the development of nasopharyngeal necrosis is a slow process. If nasopharyngeal necrosis removal combined with pedicled mucosal flap repair is performed prematurely, the area outside the operation area may be necrotic again. Theoretically, each patient only has the nasal septum-nasal septum mucosal flaps on both sides of the nasal septum, which means that each patient only has 2 chances of repairing the nasal septum-nasal floor mucosal flaps. Premature surgical intervention may not only lead to incomplete debridement, but also lose a valuable opportunity for mucosal flap repair. Therefore, based on the above problems, this study intends to compare the endoscopic nasopharyngeal necrosis debridement combined with pedicled mucosal flap repair versus the best conservative regimen for the treatment of early and mid-stage nasopharyngeal necrosis, to explore the prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal necrosis. The preferred regimen, if confirmed by this study, is expected to standardize the treatment of nasopharyngeal necrosis after radiotherapy and further promote it, effectively increasing the cure rate of nasopharyngeal necrosis and improving the prognosis of patients.
The purpose of this post-market clinical follow up study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SYMBOL range of medical devices. The study will evaluate the outcome of Total Hip Arthroplasty using medical devices from SYMBOL range over a period of 10 years.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to develop and validate a clinical risk index score for identifying NSTIs in emergency general surgery patients being evaluated for a severe skin and soft tissue infection. Secondary Objectives: To describe the contemporary microbiology of NSTIs and explore the effects on outcomes and to identify predictors of amputation and mortality.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Endostar combined with corticosteroids on Radiation-induced Brain Necrosis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma patients. detailed description:
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women. Five to ten percent of all breast cancers are due to hereditary factors, with pathogenic variants in the breast cancer genes BRCA1/2 accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancer. Women with pathogenic variants in BRAC1/2 and other pathogenic gene mutations leading to an increased risk of breast cancer can undergo prophylactic mastectomy, reducing the risk of breast cancer up to 90%. Among women who have undergone prophylactic mastectomy, 1-1,9% are diagnosed with breast cancer, but little is known about the correlation between residual glandular tissue and skin flap thickness, as well as the oncological risk of residual glandular tissue. Furthermore, there is a balance between how much subcutaneous tissue should be resected to achieve maximal reduction of glandular tissue, while leaving viable skin flaps. In addition, there are established surveillance guidelines for women with pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2 who do not undergo risk-reducing surgery, but no published consensus or guidelines regarding appropriate medical follow-up for those who opt for prophylactic mastectomy. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between skin flap thickness, residual glandular tissue and skin flap necrosis following prophylactic mastectomy in women with results from postoperative magnetic resonance tomography, ultrasound and physical examination, as well as evaluate patient satisfaction and quality of life pre- and postoperatively with different questionnaires.
