Filter by:The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up to 30 days.
It is currently unclear what activities aneurysms are involved in at the time of rupture. The aim of the study is to determine the activity performed at the time of aneurysm rupture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcome of 2 different screws for Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The main question is if the human allogeneic cortical bone screw reduces tunnel widening in comparison to conventional treatment with a biocomposite screw. Additional the re-rupture rate will be evaluated and knee scores will be recorded before surgery and after surgery. Participants will have MRI before and after surgery, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery and Computertomography after surgery, 3, 6 and 24 months after surgery. Questionnaires (Knee-scores) will be recorded before surgery, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery. the investigators hope that with the human cortical bone screw the tunnel widening is reduced and the re-rupture rate is low
Intravenous oxytocin titration has a prime position as a choice agent for induction of labour following term PROM as it has been shown to be efficacious for such purpose. Recent evidence however has shown that misoprostol is associated with better outcomes and merits evaluation in our environment. This study compared the efficacy of misoprostol and oxytocin for induction of labour in parturients with term Prelabour Ruptuture of Membranes.
Shockwave TEVAR is a nonrandomized, prospective, international, multi-center, PMCF, obervational study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of the Shockwave™ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Balloon (Shockwave Medical Inc.) in the routine treatment of hostile iliac accesses during TEVAR and F/BEVAR.
Fractures of the wrist (fractures of the distal radius) are one of the most common fractures with almost 60 000 injuries per year in Sweden. One known complication following these fractures is that the long extensor tendon of the thumb ruptures (extensor pollicis longus tendon, EPL tendon). This leads to disability to stretch the thumb in order to grip bigger objects. Earlier studies show that the tendon ruptures in about 3-5% of all wrist fractures. These ruptures occur some weeks to months after the fracture. There are different theories about the cause of the rupture. One theory is that the fracture creates a bleeding in the tight area that the tendon lies, leading to high pressure and therefore low blood supply to the tendon. Another theory is that the tendon comes in contact with some sharp bonny fragments in this area that injures the tendon when it moves. Such tendon ruptures need almost always some type of surgical intervention in order to reconstruct the function of the thumb. A common problem is that the quality of the tendon is insufficient for just suturing it. Another problem is that the muscle becomes stiff after the rupture. However, there is no objective method to determine how stiff the muscle is. The most common treatment option is the transfer of one of the two extensor tendons of the index finger to the thumb, a so-called extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus transfer. The motivation behind this operation is that the muscle of EPL is so stiff that cannot be used to lift the thumb. However, there is no consensus about the time period after which the EPL muscle can be used to reconstruct the function of thumb. The study aims to investigate the microscopical changes in the muscle and tendon of EPL after such a rupture. Better knowledge of these factors could lead to better understanding of the treatment options. The investigators plan to include in the study all patients that would get operated for an EPL tendon rupture after a fracture of the distal radius at the institution the study is conducted. After oral and written information to the patient and written consent the investigators will take some samples from the ruptured tendon and muscle for microscopical analysis.
The Investigators are studying the effect of an ACL reconstruction on return to play by capturing outcome measures and biomechanics information.
The goal of this study is to help identify the best antibiotic treatment for pregnant people when their water breaks prematurely (a condition abbreviated as PPROM). Current practice is to attempt to maintain the pregnancy until at least 34 weeks gestational age, when the risks of prematurity to the baby are lessened. Research shows that antibiotics help the pregnancy last longer, but there have been limited studies about which combination works best. Currently, both azithromycin and erythromycin are accepted antibiotic treatments, in addition to ampicillin and amoxicillin. Participants diagnosed with PPROM will be randomized to receive ampicillin and amoxicillin plus either azithromycin or erythromycin, in addition to the care they would normally receive. Studying these two drugs will help decide the best care for future patients with PPROM.
Prospective observational study
Preterm Prelabour Rupture of the Membranes is a pregnancy complication affecting 3% of all pregnancies. Outcomes for both the mother and baby are variable including: preterm delivery, fetal infection, cord prolapse, abruption as well as maternal sepsis and even maternal death. The outcomes are not only variable but the stress and uncertainty can be over a protracted period of time. This is a pilot study that aims to provide personalised psychological intervention at the time of PPROM based on Cognitive Behavioural Principles to see whether this improves psychological outcomes for women.
