Filter by:A specific group of neurons in the brain produces hypocretin, a peptide which has been established as an important regulator of sleep and wakefulness. Activation of these neurons (increased hypocretin) stabilizes wakefulness; impairing or blocking these neurons (decreased hypocretin) promotes sleep. Evidence suggests that these neurons may be involved in the hypnotic properties of several anesthetics, and play a role in the induction and emergence from anesthesia. In humans there is a considerable inter-individual variability in hypocretin levels. This study aims to investigate how hypocretin levels affect the anesthetic care and recovery of patients undergoing elective hip surgery.
This study will investigate the safety of three fixed dose levels of tanezumab (2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg) administered at an 8-week interval by subcutaneous injection multiple (7) times during the study treatment period.
This clinical trial tests the pain relieving effectiveness of OROS hydromorphone, a once-daily formulation of a strong opioid against placebo in patients, who are suffering from pain due to osteoarthritis of the hip or the knee and who previously did not receive any strong opioids.The clinical trial tests the effect of the treatment on symptoms of pain, stiffness and physical function. The effect of the treatment on parameters on health related quality of life as well as quality of sleep will be measured.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of different doses of JNJ-42160443 with placebo in the treatment of chronic, moderate to severe knee or hip pain in patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in stress shielding and bone resorption of the proximal femur in two anatomical stem total hip designs.
This is a retrospective/prospective study evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed using Accolade femoral stem in a consecutive group of patients. All patients eligible for inclusion will be identified. The investigators hypothesize that the outcome of THA performed using Accolade femoral stem is equal or superior to historical survivorship of THA using other types of collarless, proximally coated, tapered stems.
The study design consists of a prospective randomised controlled three-armed clinical trial, which will be carried out at a specialist clinic for integrative medicine, to investigate the clinical effects of hydrotherapy on osteoarthritis of the knee or hip joint, in comparison with conventional physiotherapy.
Test the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of tanezumab compared with naproxen and placebo in patients with osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to investigate the contents in blood sampled from surgery site during hip replacement compared with blood sampled from abdominal aortic surgery. Is there any difference in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α), complement activation (C3a)?
Barbed sutures offer several potential advantages in layered wound closure of hip and knee replacement surgeries. It use is gaining increased acceptance across many of the other surgical disciplines at this time. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Quill as part of our layered closure compared to using our traditional sutures. The study timeline begins at the time of the surgical procedure and continues through the routine follow-up of total joint replacements at 2, 6, and 12 weeks, and will conclude at the six month post-operative office visit. Primary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and efficacy of wound closure in primary hip and knee replacements using a bidirectional barbed suture (knotless) compared to a traditional layered (vicryl) wound closure. Secondary Objectives: - Establish the all around (intra-operative and post-operative) cost-savings potential in using a knotless wound closure compared to that of a layered vicryl closure (our standard suture protocol). - Assess the overall cosmesis of the wound/scar as well as perceived presence of subcutaneous surgical knots, when using the knotless wound closure versus our traditional layered suture closure.
