Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to gain insights into the effects of Blood Flow Restriction Exercise (BFRE) in patients with an acute Achilles tendon Rupture. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is BFRE an effective adjunct to usual care when compared with only usual care? When is the optimal timing for initiating BFRE: In the early treatment stage or at the later stage after hospital treatment? Participants will receive an intervention comprising 12 weeks of BFRE as an adjunct to usual care. - Either in the initial 1-12 weeks after Achilles tendon rupture, or - In the following 13-24 weeks after Achilles tendon rupture Researchers will compare the two groups at 13 weeks to compare BFRE to usual care, and at 25 weeks to compare the two time points for initiating BFRE (early vs. late).
To conduct an unblinded pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) "Improvement of PPROM Management with Prophylactic Antimicrobial Therapy (iPROMPT)" of a seven-day course of ceftriaxone, clarithromycin, and metronidazole versus the current standard of care of a seven-day course of ampicillin/amoxicillin and azithromycin or erythromycin to prolong pregnancy and decrease adverse perinatal outcomes among hospitalized pregnant individuals undergoing expectant management of PPROM <34 weeks.
This is a national multicentric study led by the French Arthroscopy Society (SFA) evaluating clinical practice in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision surgery (epidemiological data, morphological data, operative data, clinical and functional outcomes, and surgical complication rates).
Preterm infants are born at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes a break or tear in the fluid filled bag that surrounds and protects the infant during pregnancy leads to an untimely birth. This state puts the infant at risk of serious condition called sepsis. Sepsis is a condition in which body responds inappropriately to an infection. Sepsis may progress to septic shock which can result in the loss of life. Doctors give antibiotics to treat sepsis. The goal of this research study is to find out: 1. Among neonates at risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis, whether a policy of administering antibiotics selectively to a subset of at-risk infants who later develop signs of sepsis is not inferior to administering antibiotics to all at-risk infants in the 1st week of life. 2. To find out if infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) require fewer antibiotic courses of 48 hours duration or more in the 1st week of life. 3. To find out whether infants receiving selective antibiotics (as above) compared to those receiving antibiotics from birth (as above) are significantly different with respect to a wide range of secondary outcomes (listed under "Outcomes").
After a subarachnoid haemorrhage, complications are common and increase the overall rate of disability and death from the condition. Despite some advances in preventing, detecting and treating these complications, the rates of complications and associated risks remain high. Further research into ways to reduce complications of subarachnoid haemorrhage. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a technique where a small handheld device is attached to an earpiece which stimulates the nerves to the ear. This is given for short periods and may help improve blood flow and reduce inflammation in the brain. The intervention has been safely used and licensed in seizures, headache and severe depression. This study will look to see if it is feasible and tolerable to have tVNS twice daily for 5 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and whether it can help reduce the risk of complications from subarachnoid haemorrhage. The participant will be randomly allocated to receive either tVNS or a dummy intervention, known as sham. The researchers will collect some personal and clinical details such as diagnosis, medications, age, blood test results, as well as some details about the subarachnoid haemorrhage. The researchers will also complete brief questionnaires with the participant to assess symptoms. They will take measurements of heart rate, pupil response, and brain activity using a cap. The participant will then be randomly allocated to either receive the tVNS or sham intervention. Next, the research team will apply the earpiece to their ear twice a day for 45 minutes, for a total of 5 days. At the end of the 5-day study period, the intervention will be complete. The researchers will arrange a follow-up meeting on discharge and at 6 weeks, to assess the participants symptoms and recovery. Previous studies have shown that tVNS is safe and well tolerated, including a recent review of tVNS studies which evaluated the side effects experienced by 1322 patients receiving tVNS. The main side effects include localised tingling/numbness/pain/redness around the ear (17%), headaches (3%), dizziness (1%), facial droop (1%), nausea (1%), nasal discharge (2%). Rarely, palpitations or a slow heart rate may occur. They will continue to receive full medical treatment and observation alongside the study. They are free to withdraw from this study if they find it too demanding on top of their other activities.
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
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.
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.
Retrospective Case Series to investigate the effect a bovine collagen patch to augmented repair in acute Achilles tendon rupture with pre-existing tendinopathy
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a pre-habilitation stay via digital monitoring on patients' short-term post-operative anxiety, compared with conventional management.
