Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact that the NanoSALV wound dressing can have on managing severe chronic wounds and feasibility for patients, providers, and health systems in different health care settings (community care, continuing care and in-patient care). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the cost-savings of using NanoSALV? 2. Do care providers perceive NanoSALV to be better, worse or the same as the standard of care in terms of usability and efficiency? 3. Does NanoSALV increase autonomy and competence of wound self-management for care providers/patients? 4. Were patients more satisfied, less satisfied or just as satisfied with NanoSALV compared to the standard of Care? 5. Does NanoSALV reduce healing time for chronic wounds compared to standard of care? The sequence and duration of the trial is as follows: - Required data will be collected at enrollment to provide a baseline (Day 0) measure. - The patient will receive standard of care treatment for four weeks with dressing changes as per the standard care pathway. - In the following four weeks the patient will receive the NanoSALV dressing treatment and dressing changes done every 48 - 72 hours as required. - Wound assessments will be done weekly with wound images captured by Aranz Medical's Silhouette Star 3D medical camera that digitally takes measurements. - A patient satisfaction survey will be collected post-control and post-intervention periods - One week after completing the study the patient/surrogate will be contacted or a survey link will be sent to them regarding adverse events and to see what wound dressing they continued to use. Semi-structured interviews and observations will be done with care providers/patients and healthcare professionals in the control period to explore the perspectives on the current state of chronic wound management, and in the intervention period to evaluate the perceptions on the usability of the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of high-voltage pulsed current (HVPC) and microcurrent stimulation therapy (MST) in treating chronic wounds and to compare their effects.
Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.
Diabetes affects 463 million population of the world. Diabetic foot is one of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes which can lead to amputation in 5- 24% of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Every 30 seconds a lower extremity is amputated in the world due to diabetes. This is a retrospective study conducted in Balochistan, Pakistan. In this study investigators explored the risk factor of amputation in diabetic patients. Baseline characteristics, clinical profile, and lab tests were retrieved retrospectively and presented in the forms of tables. Investigators compared the categorical variables in amputees vs non-amputees and analyzed associated risk factors of amputation.
Efficacy of phenytoin phonophoresis on pressure ulcer healing
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that almost always affects the rectum and often extends to the more proximal colon. UC usually begins at a young age (15-30 years), most patients (~ 85%) have a mild or moderate activity, characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission. Considering the important pathogenetic role of gut dysbiosis, recently, as an additional method of treating UC, it is considered a modification of altered gut microbiota using various drug and non-drug methods. One such method is fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), consisting of the simultaneous replacement of the gut microbiota of a sick recipient with fecal material from a healthy donor. Even though so far the only officially approved indication for FMT is recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, however, the effectiveness of FMT is currently being studied in the treatment of other gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal pathologies, including UC. To date, several controlled and uncontrolled studies have been conducted to study the effectiveness of FMT in UC, showing encouraging results. This study aimed to assess the clinical and microbiological efficacy, tolerability, and safety of FMT as add-on therapy to basic therapy, in patients with mild-to-moderate UC.
To study the long-term clinical outcome of patients with ulcerative colitis treated with first trial of biological therapy.
Varicose veins of lower extremities can lead to adverse consequences such as ulceration and hemorrhage, which seriously endangering the physical and mental health and quality of life for patients. The aim of this study is to explore the potential risk factors of venous ulceration in patients with varicose veins of lower extremities based on a case-control study, and to provide a reference for personalized treatment.
This prospective study involved 14 patients aged > 18 years with RCUs not responding to conventional treatment. All patients were treated with E-PRP drops (one drop), preservative-free artificial tears, antibiotic eye drop four times daily and systemic vitamin A once daily for one month. All patients were examined at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the treatment initiation. In each visit, the following parameters were assessed: best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment, corneal healing, condition of the conjunctiva, presence of abnormal discharge and symptoms reported.
The main objective of our study is to identify the risk factors for postoperative morbidity after surgical treatment of Perforated peptic ulcer
