Filter by:The objective of the study is to complete a retrospective chart review of subjects who were treated at the Wound Care Clinic at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, presented for treatment between June 2018 and February 2019, and were administered the PHQ-9. The study aims to measure the prevalence of depression in this sample, feasibility of using PHQ-9 in this patient population, and identifying variables and functional impairment associated with clinically significant depression.
Explorative study to investigate potential predictors of myocardial injury, acute kidney injury and pulmonary disorder after acute high-risk abdominal surgery.
in our study we are examining the volume flow of the common femoral artery before and after angigraphy of a critical ischemic limb, as a predictor for wound healing after the treatment
Intravenous iodinated contrast media is commonly used to enhance diagnostic yield of computer tomography (CT) scans in clinical medicine. However, the perceived risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) frequently limits its use. While CIN is often self-limiting, it can cause significant morbidity by prolonging admissions and rendering an at-risk individual dialysis dependent. CIN has long been observed and described in clinical studies. There is ample data on CIN after administration of intraarterial contrast, but evidence is less compelling when it comes to intravenous contrast. Increasing studies have called into question the actual risk of intravenous contrast media. Expert panels are suggesting that the risk could have been overstated, leading to contrast being withheld when indicated. There is paucity of local data on this particular issue. More real world data on the actual incidence and risk factors of AKI will be helpful to clinicians. The investigators plan to conduct a single center, retrospective study, to determine the incidence and risk factors of post contrast AKI in contrast enhanced CT scans.
A prospective controlled randomized study aimed to prospectively evaluate, the impact and effectiveness of clean incision prophylactic vacuum negative pressure therapy on wound healing (ciNPWT) in women at high risk of developing wound complications who undergo major gynecologic surgery. Gynecologic Oncology patients appear to be more at risk of developing wound complications than the general surgery population, reaching infection rates of 36 vs. 24 % that become 40 and 60% for obese and morbidly obese patients, respectively. Data about the use of ciNPWT are few, controversial and are of poor quality. No randomized, controlled trials have yet been reported in support of the use of ciNPWT in the gynecologic population.
This is a prospective observational parallel group cohort study that will aim to recruit 220 participants who were admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 between 1st March 2020 and 30th June 2020 (Group A - 110 participants who had COVID-19 with AKIÍž Group B - 110 participants who had COVID-19 without AKI). Data from groups A and B will be compared with AKI and non-AKI groups from an existing study database (ARID study, n=1125) who were recruited before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (recruitment 2013-2016) and who have all completed at least three years of follow up. Participants who have recovered from COVID-19 will be matched for analysis to participants from the ARID study for AKI status, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) stage, age (± 5 years) and presence of diabetes. Potential participants will receive a letter of invitation along with a comprehensive participant information sheet (PIS).
NTX-001 is a single use surgical product intended for use in conjunction with standard suture neurorrhaphy of severed nerves in patients between 16 and 80 years of age.
This study aims to quantify resilience in survivors of a spinal cord injury. The study will consist of structured interviews and self-reported surveys. We will look for common themes between participants at different stages of injury (1-5 years, 5-15 years, >15 Years).
The objective is to determine the effectiveness of a multimodal educational intervention to reduce supplemental oxygen use in major burn patients. Investigators will also evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the more targeted use of oxygen therapy.
The objective is to determine the effectiveness of a multimodal educational intervention to reduce supplemental oxygen use in critically injured patients. Investigators will also evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the more targeted use of oxygen therapy.
