Filter by:The incidence of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence in one year can reach 35%. Plantar foot diabetic foot ulcer is the most frequently diabetic foot ulcer recurrence. The recurrence incidence can occur at least 14 days after the diabetic foot ulcer has healed. Physical activity and exercise are highly recommended for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. The study about the form of foot exercise to prevent a diabetic foot ulcer recurrence is still unclear. The major hypothesis was there is an effect of self-structured foot exercise on the plantar foot diabetic ulcer recurrences. The minor hypothesis was (1) The improvement of HbA1c, ABI, diabetic neuropathy examination score, callus, and walking speed can decrease the incidence of plantar foot diabetic ulcer (2) a self-structured foot exercise can decrease the incidence and the speed of incidence plantar doot diabetic ulcer recurrence. Participants were randomized into two groups: Exercise group (n=25) and control group (n=25). The exercise is the combination of flexibility and resistance exercise using a flexible band in 24 weeks. The incidence of plantar diabetic foot ulcers was monitored through the research process.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof of clinical principle study to explore the efficacy and safety of orally administered BBT-401-1S in subjects with ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of the Medela Invia Motion NPWT system supports acceptable progress towards the goal of therapy when treating patients with a variety of wound types during the evaluation period.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of GLPG3970 compared to placebo on the signs and symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in participants with moderately to severely active UC.
The study is a prospective, single arm, multicenter efficacy study, consisting of 60 subjects who will complete the study (note: if any patients are lost to follow-up or withdrawn, enrollment will increase to compensate for loss of these subjects). The subjects will receive up to 16 RD1 applications. In case of complete healing, subject will be called for one confirmatory visit two weeks later or before discharge from the SNF (the earlier of the two). Subject data will be kept in each site's records. All diabetic subjects' glycemic management will be performed by a qualified physician. All subjects will have wound care specialist or wound surgeon or dermatologist involved in their wound care
To validate an updated version of CapsoCam® SV-3 Endoscopy System brand name CapsoCam Plus™) with respect to the reproducibility of the system to capture and download small bowel images in a manner consistent with the predicate CapsoCam® SV-2 and SV-3 capsule endoscopy systems.
All episodes of patients with acute UC admitted to Tampere University Hospital and treated with intravenous corticosteroids between January 2007 and January 2016 were identified from patient records and reviewed. The risks for colectomy and for continuous use of corticosteroids were evaluated. Predictive factors were analysed.
This is a multicenter study of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) to develop and validate potential tissue-based biomarkers that predict DFU wound recurrence. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) will be measured on the closed wound site and a location similar to the wound site (reference site). Participants will be enrolled within two weeks after closure of their DFU. Complete wound healing will be verified at a second visit two weeks later and this visit will start the 16 week timeline where participants will be followed weekly by phone until the earliest of DFU wound recurrence or 16 weeks. Participants who experience a DFU wound recurrence and a subset of participants who do not experience a DFU wound recurrence by week 16 will be asked to attend one final visit.
Peripheral venous catheterisation is a multi-daily practice in a paediatric ward. In our pediatrics department, nurses have observed for several years now the appearance of pressure sore-like skin lesions at the junction of the peripheral venous catheter with the extension tube. A ward habit has spontaneously developed of applying a compress under this junction. The objective is to minimize physical or emotional aggression as well as pain. Pain that is denied or not identified and not relieved is memorized by the child, which can have consequences on the perception of pain and the subsequent acceptance of care. To date, through their reading and research, investigators have been able to find articles mentioning the risks of pressure ulcers in children related to medical devices. However, few elements are developed concerning catheter-related pressure ulcers, especially on this specific technique for preventing injuries at the catheter-extension tube junction. Investigators have not found any recommendations on this subject. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare two peripheral venous catheter fixation devices, with compress and without compress, and to analyse the frequency of pressure ulcer occurrence and the intensity of this lesion.
This exploratory, open-label clinical study aims to explore the effects of KB295, a novel glycan, on adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) presenting with mild-to-moderate UC symptoms
