Filter by:The randomized controlled study which compare the efficacy outcomes (reducing blood loss and drainage output in patients) in patients undergoing single-level minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) and received topical tranexamic acid injection in the surgical site to those who received placebo injection.
This study aims to determine whether the use of two sterile towels for drying after surgical handwashing results in fewer contamination events compared to the use of only one towel among healthcare personnel. This randomized, multicenter, superiority-controlled trial will enroll up to 72 healthcare workers and surgical residents from three hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia. A fluorescent product will simulate bacteria, and contamination will be assessed by evaluating the presence of fluorescent cream after hand drying technique with either two or one surgical sterile towel. Data will be collected through REDCap and deidentified. Differences in the proportion of contamination between the two groups will be assessed using an exact Fischer test, and confounding variables will be included in the analysis through logistic multivariate regression, with a significance level set a priori at 0.05. Results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Multi-center, observational (i.e., non-interventional), open-label, real-world Registry on the Use of Kerecis Devices
The investigators implanted 264 Galaxy TS implants (with or without BBL) in 33 patients across both jaws. Implant stability and osseointegration were assessed using Initial Stability Quotient (ISQ) measurements, computed tomography (CBCT) scans and pain evaluations at various intervals post-surgery. Further, implant surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In vitro studies evaluated the efficacy of BBL on dental pulp pluripotent stem cells (DPPSCs) osteogenesis, and inflammatory factor modulation in human macrophages.
This study examines the effect of discharge training given to patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures on the wound healing process and readiness for discharge. In the study, patients were provided with certain educational content before and after discharge. The effect of training on wound healing, readiness for discharge and post-discharge recovery process will be evaluated statistically.
The aim of this study is to compare leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and photobiomodulation (PBM) applications, which have been repeatedly reported to be superior to control groups, in terms of pain, soft tissue and bone healing in tooth extraction sockets.
This study evaluated the clinical and biochemical aspects of flap design in dental implant applications regarding implantation success and patient comfort. In this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial, a vertical releasing incision was made at the distal end of the crestal incision on the test side, and the control side received a crestal incision alone. Sixty-eight implants were placed in 17 patients. Peri-implant groove fluid was collected on postsurgical days 3, 7, 30, and 90; OPG and RANKL levels were assessed to determine bone formation and resorption around the implants. Cortisol levels were assessed in peri-implant groove fluid at postsurgical days 3, 7, and 14. Visual analog scale (VAS), and swelling measurements were taken postoperatively. Panoramic and periapical X-rays were obtained immediately post-surgery and at 3 months. No significant marginal bone loss difference was observed between the test and control sides at 3 months. The RANKL/OPG ratio, cortisol levels, VAS scores, and swelling scores were higher in the test vs. control sides. Overall, while the use of a vertical incision has advantages, such as increasing the visual field of the surgeon and improving the ease of the operation, this approach should be used only when necessary, given the disadvantages of increased bone resorption mediators in the peri-implant tissue and reduced postoperative patient comfort.
DUOFAG® is a phage cocktail containing bacteriophages active against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is an investigational medicinal product for the treatment of surgical site infections caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety of DUOFAG® and the clinical and microbiological change within 10 weeks after the start of treatment or until healing.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Surgical site infection rates 2. Patient quality of life 3. Time to wound healing Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.
When patients have surgery on the head and face, stitches are the standard way to close the wound. Wounds always result in a scar, but doctors are always looking for ways to reduce scarring. Several studies have been done to test ways to close wounds that reduce scarring. The most commonly performed closure technique uses running sutures, where a single strand of suture is continued along the length of the wound with a series of uninterrupted stiches. However, alternative closure techniques exist such as the running locking suture, which can offer advantages such as improved tension and thus reduce post-operative complications with better aesthetic outcome. In this study, half the wound will be stitched with standard running sutures and the other half will be stitched with running locking sutures. This will allow us to see if the side with running locking sutures heals with less scarring.
