Filter by:The aims of this study are to determine whether antibiotics administered routinely in women presenting with premature rupture of membranes later than the 37+0 weeks of gestation can alter the rate of maternal and neonatal infection and to compare these rates between prompt (< 12 hour) and delayed (≥ 12 hour) induction in the group of patients not submitted to antibiotic prophylaxis.
Aortic injuries after blunt thoracic trauma are compared to the great incidence of accidents relatively rare, but potentially serious leading to death at scene in most of the cases. The study was undertaken to delineate mortality and its risk factors on three different levels (pre-hospital, in-hospital and overall). Between 1990 and 2003, all consecutive patients and victims with traumatic aortic rupture were retrospectively analyzed by reviewing hospital and autopsy records.
In optimally managed HIV+ women with undetectable viral loads, who are on HAART and also receiving intrapartum IV ZDV, the risk of vertical transmission of HIV is independent of the length of time of rupture of membranes.
The objective of this study is to determine, through a randomized clinical trial, whether bed rest is helpful for the management of pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).
Premature rupture of membranes is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, mainly because of the complications associated with this pathology (oligohydramnios, cord compression or prolapse, infection). When rupture of the membranes occur the risk of cord compression increases but there is little evidence regarding this complication and amniotic fluid volume. The investigator's focus are the perinatal outcomes according to amniotic fluid volume (< 5 or >5).
The purpose of this study is to compare the neonatal outcome and infant neurologic outcome whose mother were treated with cefazolin plus clarithromycin for one week or until delivery after preterm premature rupture of membrane.
Acute achilles tendon rupture is relatively frequent (11 to 37 per 100,000). There are great social benefits in optimizing treatment and shortening recovery. There is no consensus concerning the best treatment of acute achilles tendon rupture. Traditionally, surgical treatment is considered superior, but more recent studies show evidence that non-operative treatment with early dynamic rehabilitation gives the same functional outcome with fewer side effects. Traditionally non-operative treatment involves non-weightbearing for 6 weeks. This is not evidence based rather due to tradition. It is well documented that mechanical load improves tendon healing in general and has no detrimental effect on the healing of operated achilles tendons. The objective of this randomized study is to compare early weight-bearing with non-weight-bearing following non-operative treatment of acutely ruptured Achilles tendons.
This study introduce cases of simultaneous multiple cruciate ligament reconstructions with a single free tendon Achilles allograft using new technique.
Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) is treated with an antibiotic, erythromycin or azithromycin, to prolong pregnancy. Erythromycin is taken for several days and can result in stomach upset in some patients, causing them to stop taking the medication. Therefore, azithromycin is often prescribed instead. Azithromycin is usually taken only once and stomach upset is not seen or greatly reduced. The goal of this study is to see if there is a difference between the antibiotic (azithromycin) compared to the antibiotic (erythromycin) in prolonging pregnancy in patients with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM). The working hypothesis is that there is no difference in the clinical effectiveness between antibiotic regimens containing te macrolides azithromycin and erythromycin for prolonging latency in PPROM.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy on maternal infection, chorioamnionitis and neonatal morbidity and mortality, and to review the evidence and provide recommendations on the use of antibiotics in PPROM.
