Filter by:The current refugee crisis across the Middle East and Europe has large effects on individual refugees' psychological well-being, as well as on the healthcare systems of countries hosting refugees. For example, in Switzerland patients sometimes have to wait up to 12 months for the specific psychological treatment due to a lack of specialists. To address this problem the WHO has developed Problem Management Plus (PM+), a brief (five sessions), low-intensity psychological intervention, delivered by paraprofessionals, that addresses common mental disorders in people in communities affected by adversity. The feasibility of PM+ has never been examined in Switzerland before, this is the aim of the current pilot study.
The immediate goal of the proposed research is to test the value of a new low-cost, low-dose standing CT system for efficient early detection of both joint degeneration and elevated contact stress. The standing CT scanner holds promise for detecting arthritic changes earlier than other imaging modalities because of the combination of its 3D nature and ability to image joints in a weight-bearing pose. A secondary goal of the proposed research is to enable predictive models for osteoarthritis risk based on measures of post treatment contact stress, both to inform treatment and so that new interventions can be tested in a manner incorporating risk stratification.
The objective of this study is to conduct an observational pre/post study to evaluate the clinical impact oxygen guideline implementation on oxygen utilization and oxygenation in critically ill trauma patients.
This a randomized clinical trial involving children with non-operative fractures presenting the emergency department randomized either to intranasal or intravenous ketamine.
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of sleep treatment in human patients following traumatic injury. Specifically, the study will determine if treatment consisting of melatonin and education related to sleep habits are effective in treating sleep disturbance and improving sleep quality in Orthopaedic trauma patients. We hope to learn if melatonin and sleep education effectively improve sleep following traumatic injury, and improve outcomes.
This study will test whether endothelial dysfunction could be the early subclinical mechanism by which posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and whether posttraumatic fear-a key component of PTSD-or another PTSD dimension could be the target to offset that risk. The results of this study may help trauma-exposed individuals who are at risk of having CVD events.
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare viscoelastic (VE) guided resuscitation to fixed-ratio resuscitation in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock on the utilization of blood products, effects on coagulation and inflammatory mediators, and how these strategies affect post resuscitation adverse events.
The research goal is to uncover the neurocognitive moderators of PTSD trajectories, by documenting clinical symptoms, cognitive functioning, and brain structure and function, one-, six- and fourteen months following a traumatic event, in a large population of survivors at initial high risk for PTSD.
Traumatic dental injuries are one of the commonly encountered dental emergencies. Missing anterior tooth in children due to any injury can be a source of considerable physical and psychological discomfort for the child. These consequences also have significant impact on parents, who are generally concerned with esthetic and economic aspects of this problem. It varies from small crack in the enamel to complete loss of the tooth. Injury to children teeth can be both painful and traumatic to the children
