The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a a low air pressure motorised therapeutic mattress in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk. This study is noncomparative, observational study. Patients older than 18 years of age, with a high risk of PI, without PI, lying more than 20 hours a day on a XTECH®25 mattress will be included. The study will be conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department. Patients are followed up for 35 days. The use of the XTECH®25 mattress is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who developed between day 0 and day 35 at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel. Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using perinatal tissue allografts improves healing of chronic, non-healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients. The main question that this study aims to answer is: Does the use of perinatal tissue allografts in conjunction with standard of care wound management techniques result in a higher percentage of patients achieving complete wound closure (i.e. healing) as compared to patients being treated with standard of care alone after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment. One ulcer on each participant's foot will receive weekly 1) applications of perinatal tissue allografts and standard of care wound management or 2) standard of care wound management alone. Pictures of the ulcer and measurements of its size will be measured every week to track its healing progress over a total treatment period of 12 weeks. Additionally, the participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about the wound impacts their life.
Baitouweng Decoction is traditionally used to treat large intestine damp-heat syndrome of ulcerative colitis (UC) by oral administration and rectal enema.The project applicant's invention of transendoscopic entral tubing (TET) has been used in Baitouweng Decoction for the treatment of UC across the whole colon, however, the efficacy have not been reported and the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Compared with oral and rectal enema, Baitouweng Decoction by colon TET can improve the therapeutic effect by increasing the concentration of drugs in the whole colon, which need to be verified. This project will reveal the prescription effect and drug-microbiome interaction mechanism of whole colon repeated administration of Baitouweng Decoction in the treatment of UC through clinical randomized controlled studies, deep intestinal dynamic sampling, integrated analysis of multi-omics and TCM prescription metabolomics studies, and provide key scientific basis for the establishment of a new approach of whole colon repeated administration of TCM and a new strategy for the treatment of UC.
Melatonin has been shown to prevent cellular damage produced by oxidative stress or in situations of ischaemia, inhibiting the synthesis of oxidants and pro inflammatory factors such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, substances which are present in pressure ulcers and can affect the healing process, slowing it down. Melatonin gel has also been shown to prevent ulcers in the oral mucosa due to radiotherapy. Therefore, the hypothesis for this study is that the melatonin cream provides greater ulcer area reduction than standard pressure ulcer treatment.
This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 as a treatment in patients with acute ulcerative colitis. Patients who qualify are adults who have not responded to treatments for their severe ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as an open-label pilot study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 7 study visits, all of which will be conducted at a study site. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool and urine sample for a few lab tests throughout the study. Participants may also undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy at the beginning and end of the study.
This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 as a treatment in patients with active mild ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as a crossover study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks and a placebo drug for 4 weeks in a randomized order in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 7 study visits, all of which will be conducted at a study site. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool and urine sample for a few lab tests throughout the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of Orion TM, a dual-layer amniotic membrane allograft, in addition to standard wound care treatment can improve patient outcomes for people over the age of 50 with diabetic foot ulcers. The main question it aims to answer is the incidence of complete wound closure at the end of 12 weeks of treatment. Researchers will compare the outcomes between a group of people treated with standard wound care and another group treated with standard wound care in addition to the amniotic membrane allograft to see if the amniotic membrane allograft improves patient outcomes. Participants will visit their doctor weekly over a 12 week period, as per standard diabetic foot ulcer treatment procedures, and fill out a questionnaire measuring quality of life.
During a patient's hospital stay the skin can be exposed to forces from sitting or lying and attachment to different medical devices. Skin health is maintained healthy through regular movements to remove pressure from the skin surface. However, sometimes if the skin is exposed to loads for prolonged periods, it can be compromised, and red marks can appear (stage one pressure ulcer). In most cases, these changes in the skin can be recovered, through regular movement and nursing care. However, in a small number of cases, the skin damage can progress further until a wound appears. It is important to find out why this may occur, so that preventive strategies can be implemented to protect skin health. Therefore, the project focuses on evaluating changes in skin health following the development of a minor pressure ulcer (stage one). This research proposal aims to better understand how the skin changes at the body sites compromised by stage 1 pressure ulcer, compared to healthy sites. This will be achieved via the use of measurements of skin health including physical sensors and sampling fluids and cells from the skin surface. The knowledge acquired from this study will help the understanding of how and why skin breaks down following early signs of damage. Some of the proposed sensing systems could then be used to support healthcare professionals to adopt the appropriate preventive strategies to avoid skin damage and subsequent wounds. A cohort of 50 patients will be recruited from a hospital setting, who present with a stage one pressure ulcer. Skin measurements will be taken three times to establish changes during their hospital stay. The investigators will establish if these measurements support the prediction of whether the stage one ulcer heals, remains the same, or progresses into a wound (stage two or higher pressure ulcer).
The main aim of this study is to learn about medical problems (adverse events) if vedolizumab subcutaneously (SC) is given to a child or teenager with UC or CD for a long time. Other aims are to understand if the long time use of vedolizumab SC has an impact on the time period until hospital visits because of bowel swelling (inflammation) are needed and has an impact on the quality of life of children and teenagers who received vedolizumab SC. In this study, participants who responded well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study (VedolizumabSC-3003 [NCT06100289]) will continue to be treated with vedolizumab SC. Participants who did not respond well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study or who received corticosteroids in the last 4 weeks of the parent study will not receive vedolizumab SC in this study but will be followed for up to 2 years after the last treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
