Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine whether Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is an effective wound treatment compared to conventional wound treatment in the period of time from reoperation to re-suturing in women having surgical wound rupture after Caesarean Section.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether obese women (BMI >= 30) who give birth by caesarean section have a reduced incidence of wound infection and dehiscence when incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is applied prophylactically following caesarean section.
Calf muscle atrophy (muscle degeneration) is common following Achilles tendon repair due to the immobilization period necessary to ensure optimal healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) after Achilles tendon surgery will reduce calf muscle atrophy.
To compare the end-results of three different methods of treatment of acute achilles tendon ruptures, it is necessary to establish identical rehabilitation protocols. Traditionally, early mobilization has been reserved for patients treated surgically and this may have unintentionally skewed treatment results. The investigators have therefore designed a prospective randomized trial performed as collaboration between Akershus University Hospital (Ahus), Oslo University Hospital (The Emergency Department), Østfold Hospital (Fredrikstad) and Drammen Hospital. The four institutions were chosen because of their geographical proximity and because they jointly have a substantial catchment area. Treatment is divided into three arms, and patients between 18 and 60 years of age sustaining first time achilles tendon ruptures will be invited to participate.
Multicenter Achilles tendon study Switzerland. Comparing three mainstream treatment types: open, percutaneous and conservative (non-operative) treatments. Comparing force torque measurements, muscle volume and clinical scores.
The objective of this study is to assess the benefits of endovascular technique in terms of efficacy and safety of Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft with the Captivia Delivery System in the treatment of thoracic aortic disease, in a cohort of patients representative of the population treated under real-life conditions of use in France for up to 5 years.
The primary hypothesis is that Khalifa's therapy has different acute effects in various organ systems i.e. proprioceptive, neuro-muscular, endogenous dopamine system, etc. These effects might indicate the pathway of the therapy.
This study is to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical results of arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tears
The CRB study is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of the Cook Cervical Ripening Balloon (CRB) for the induction of labor in term and near-term patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
Multiple models of replacement tubes for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy are available in the market, however durability is variable. In a prospective randomized study, five commercial devices available in the market will be tested in 20 consecutive patients each. Tube performance will be observed during 6 months and durability will be assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves as well as Cox regression analysis.It is hypothesized that tube design and material will influence outcome.
